Their idea? Lift a Porsche Panamera to the 94th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center. In an elevator.

So how'd they get the Panamera and it's fat butt up there? Check out the images above and you'll see it was quite the squeeze, almost mimicking what you'd see if Santa Claus were real and he was shimmying up your chimney after eating all your cookies and making out with your Mom. Wait a minute...


Getting the Panamera, or any car for that matter, up to the 94th floor of the world's second tallest building is no easy task. Workers jimmied the 4-door Porsche into the freight elevator using a motor ramp and some careful coordination to get it into an upright position for its ride up 1,394 feet to what is considered to be the world's tallest event platform.

Question is — How'd they get it down?

<![CDATA[Porsche Garden Garage Ups Ante In Underground Garage Cold War]]> It's hard to argue with the badassity of the Lamborghini elevator storing half a collection of Sant'Agata's finest below ground, but this disappearing garden garage storing a nice Porsche 911 elevates (har) the art of hidden garages to another level. First, this example is essentially silent, operating via hydraulic power without the ruckus of the other lift. Second, notice the attention to detail when completely lowered: The top of the garage has a little patch of garden and a reflecting pool we can only imagine has a fountain in it. We're getting into some serious James Bond stuff here folks. Next we'll be looking for a hidden garage that descends into an active volcano and shoots lasers at would-be car thieves. [via YouTube]
