911 face off - PRESS RELEASE

Post by Bootsy »

Press release received this morning from Phil Raby

911faceoff.com launches today

New website will settle the debate once and for all – which is the best
Porsche 911 ever made?

Porsche has produced over 60 models of 911 since the car was launched back in 1963, and enthusiasts hotly debate which model is best. Some like the old classics, while others favour today’s supercars. But perhaps now the debating is over...

An innovative new website from Imagine Publishing – www.911faceoff.com – allows Porsche’s worldwide enthusiasts to sit in the driver’s seat of each 911 model and choose their all-time favourite from an exhaustive online database.

The website randomly pits two 911s against each other in an infinite number of faceoff battles, and depending of the results, it builds a comprehensive list of the top 50 Porsche 911s in order of popularity. To help you decide, each car comes with an image, specification, performance figures and a 911Face-Off rating. And if you’re really stuck, you can opt for a draw.

“911 Face-Off is great fun and surprisingly addictive,” said Philip Raby, Editor in Chief atImagine. “You can make a snap judgement based on your gut instinct, study the stats carefully before picking, or use our ratings to sway your decision.

Not only is 911 Face-Off a lot of fun, it’s also a real eye-opener to see just how many different 911s there are!”

Try 911Face-Off now at www.911faceoff.com.

Imagine Publishing is one of the UK’s fastest-growing consumer specialist publishers. Formed in May 2005, Imagine now publishes 20 magazines and 27 websites in the videogames, computing, entertainment and

that'll be the ignorance of modern Porsche owners ;)


Actually , I suppose it depends what criteria you have for choosing a Porsche ... mine is for fun & excitement ... I put the early cars along side stuff like the 964RS and to an extent GT3's etc .

I imagine most Porsche buyers have other priorities :shock:

I tried this last week following a link from Pisonheads.
Sat clicking for some time (favouring the classics in the main naturally), but don't think the choices ever end. Eventually I got bored and gave up!
Good to see my car in the top ten (presently no 6) and I've got quite a soft spot for the 993, especially in RS and GT2 guise.

[grumbling gold man]
Pfff, majority of voters are young, ignorant and possibly have not driven an aircooled 911/912 in anger. No wonder they all go for a GT2/GT3/GTwhatisitthistime. [/grumbling old man]

Great marketing ploy though :)

so the results are a product of me not paying that much attention and clicking randomly wondering where i was heading.

they should only record your first 10 or so and then give you the results
