Cars & Movies 3. Porsche: The Elegance of Seduction

Without a shadow of a doubt, Porsche’s best representation in cinema was the one conceived by John Lasseter in Pixar’s famous film, Cars. Designed as a seductive girl that Lightning McQueen, the happy-go-lucky star of the film, falls in love with, the 911 is the perfect picture of the everlasting success of this model. At a time when gender equality is finally a reality, the union of its harmonious and seductive contemporary lines with the excellence of performance in every condition, is the best representation that can be made of the female gender (almost a denial of gender equality... was one ever really superior to the other?!).

And it’s precisely this uncanny ability to know how to relax and blend in no matter what the situation that has allowed Porsche to appear on the silver screen like it was created for that precise role: whether it’s the small Speedster in Top Gun (a replica for filming requirements) or the 928, often given the hard shoulder by purists who don’t appreciate the fact that it deserted the historic rear-engine layout, or even the fully electric Mission E in the recent Playmobil movie, Porsche interprets its role to perfection.
