Re: 991 Production plant - Nat'l Geographic
Thanks for posting. However all the quick cutting, etc., isn't conducive to actually [i]informing[/i] the viewer. That creative license is better left to art films such as: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSlIff6wumc]Koyaanisqatsi[/url]
Speaking of informative, it says "Ferry" designed the 911. No, Ferdinand "Butzi" is generally credited with that.
Also, it pretty much conflates the base 991 with the S: something like, "the engine went from 3.6 to 3.4 liters, yet gained 5 horsepower," then a blurb displays saying the S generates 400 horsepower. Yeah, but with a 3.8, not the 350 hp 3.4 liter base motor. One might think infer the 3.6 and the 3.4 make 395 and 400 hp respectively.
