This quote from Thai-Tang the new Director of Ford's
in-house tuner operation turned my head and started me thinking. He considers the Porsche 911 the ultimate benchmark. He said;
"Those Porsches have a timeless quality about them. You see a 911 today, and it looks like a 1970's 911. They are evolutionary design changes. That sense of timelessness just fascinates me."
The last sentence of the quote registered with me. I will acknowledge there is a sense of timelessness when one looks at a Porsche. Nothing radical or offensive. It slowly matures and ages with a certain elegance. I can think of several high end products that have the same evolutionary timelessness.
In the future, when I look at a 911 I will see it differently.
