It is said that you shouldn't put the cart ahead of the horse. But what about putting the driver ahead of horsepower? That must be okay since Porsche has been doing it so long.

Nicely done, Porsche. Very clever. It reminds me of that old BMW ad with the rabbit, except Porsche's take is still applicable.
