Millionth Porsche 911 in New York – Video
Where else but New York? For Porsche, there is no better place in the USA in which to display the one millionth 911 than the Big Apple – after all, it was here that the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer’s American story began. It is a story that is closely intertwined with the name Max Hoffman.
The New York car dealer’s enthusiasm for Porsche sports cars, along with his special aptitude for sales, formed the basis for brand’s rapid rise in popularity in the USA.
Indeed, in a New York showroom in autumn 1950, Hoffman exhibited the first Porsche in the USA – a 356. The first test drives on American soil took place along Park Avenue. Now, nearly 70 years later, the anniversary model of the iconic 911 sports car will travel the very same streets.
