So they can use/recycle this B-Roll for a multitude of markets. C’mon Mr. CNN!
I’ll take this over that Mercedes corporate Glam Rock any day!
One of the best things about Top Gear is the music they play for thier vignettes. It always adds a sense of excitement. I was lucky enough to find some of that music on the soundtrack to Animatrix.

CNN? I worked for Ted’s mob back in 1934, when the industry used 3/4″ videotape.
Anyway, either Porsche should release this with natural sound (there’s an idea) or come-up with something a little better than rock and roll Muzak (blech).
Hey! How about leasing some REAL music? Wouldn’t THAT be a kick! Suggestions?
A lot of Porsche microsites use cheezy music. I just felt cool being able to post first since I usually work during the day. It just isn’t as satisfying being #44 on the list.
But point taken- Jon Fine just had an interesting editorial in Business Week about getting cool music from independent record lables without spending a fortune.
And Porsche is RICH!
1934?! I thought you were old, RF, but weren’t they cutting stuff on shellac disks back then?:-)
I’m not sure what else to suggest, given the soft touch images here. Something olde world Germanic like “Ride of the Valkyries” seems a bit strident.
sounds like the music they play in a great Vietnamese restaurant I frequent.
I vote for some Nine Inch Nails. Porsche needs a bit more, “edge” and less, “i’m a wimpy snob”.
I rather liked it myself.

No music? How about the Ferrari/Shell ad? This rates as the greatest car commercial. EVAR.
This is why I don’t have a radio in my old Jaguar. Better to listen to Sir William’s Sixth Symphony than anything produced by a mere musician.

andyinsdca: “the greatest car commercial. EVAR.”
Absolutely! Thanks for the link. If Shell was still selling real gasoline around here instead of adulterated alkyline, I’d buy a tankful to thank them.
Well, I have to say… the music was slightly weird, BUT… sometimes the music that is chosen is so LOUD or obnoxious that it covers the sounds of the engine, exhaust, etc. I’d rather hear that than music any day…
Did Porsche pay you to post this!!?
Is it worse than Jaguar using The Clash’s “London Calling” in an ad? Nothing sells cars quite like a song about the apocalypse.
Happy Endings:
Not only that, but a CD of London Calling was included in all recent Jags as audio system fodder.
Play this little tune on the car stereo and I’d fall asleep at the wheel within minutes – so relaxing
