  • 2018 Porsche 911 GT3, 2017 New York auto show

    In a hypothetical bar, over hypothetical drinks between hypothetical friends, Porsche’s director for its GT model line, Andreas Preuninger, imagines a hypothetical conversation about hypothetical numbers. “People are discussing lap times that they can never achieve themselves over a beer,” Preuninger said.
