Since its creation in 1963, the Porsche 911 has wooed car enthusiasts worldwide, proving its worth on the racetrack and serving as an iconic status symbol over the past decades. "Export was always one of the driving factors behind the success of Porsche 911, especially to the US market in the first place but today worldwide," Jung tells DW. As the 911 is "the face of Porsche worldwide, this might be one of the reasons why it has that iconic status globally," Jung points out. Among them, the music video to Billy Ocean's 1988 classic "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car" has the singer in a Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet. The most expensive new Porsche 911 sports car sold at auction is the one-off Porsche 911 Sally Special, which fetched the exorbitant price of $3.6 million at the RM Sotheby's Monterey Auction in August 2022.
