Porsche Centrum Gelderland's chocolate 911

Bumblebee86 · 18th November 2009, 13:44

A Dutch Porsche dealership has taken a brand-new 911 Carrera S and as a marketing stunt has covered it in chocolate. Apparently, they have used 175 kgs of chocolate to conceal one of Stuttgart's finest, also using another couple kilos of white chocolate for detailing like the headlamps.

It's apparently for a Dutch holiday centered around Sinterklass – St. Nicholas – who was the Danish inspiration for Santa Claus. As the story goes, the holiday is held in The Netherlands on the evening of December 5, and one of the holiday's most storied traditions is that people buy or make chocolate letters in celebration – hence the milky goodness that is this Choco997.

The choco-dipped Porsche will remain on display until Christmas

Interesting!!

What would you say, waste of chocolate or waste of a good looking car?

diesel_headrock · 18th November 2009, 14:07

One question...

WHY?????...

hiren959 · 18th November 2009, 14:32

definitely waste of both, chocolate and the car..

MARCUS_520i · 18th November 2009, 15:04

It's a waste of neither, I think.
The chocolate serves the purpose, while the car which as we can see, has been nicely wrapped in multiple layers of plastic.
So, this definitely is a good one.

P.S. Loved the 'sweet' headlamps on this one

Thank god for the plastic wrap over the body.

This is one car that we can literally lick.

kurmist · 18th November 2009, 15:35

Dont know whether I'd want to eat this car or drive it.

ariendj · 18th November 2009, 15:48

My sentiments exactly! No doubt this is a wacky idea to gain attention but,
chocolate is best when eaten
porche's are best when driven.

Suhass is not going to be happy seeing this.Lol
There is a plastic wrapping on the car,but can this car be used again?I hope they dont sell it to an unsuspecting customer.

Now thats what I call a perfect representation of the world economic condition. Its only the Ants or the Super rich who'll enjoy. Mortals like me will only be writing this here.

Jayabusa · 18th November 2009, 20:31

Why work so hard? they could have just sprayed some Axe Dark Temptation on it! lol

bivin · 18th November 2009, 21:12

that is literally one sweet ride!!

akshaymahajan · 18th November 2009, 21:24

they should have used dark chocolate.

Sudan_NFS · 18th November 2009, 21:45

It's good sweet Ride.They would have done it more professionally by adding a dark chocolate to the window mirrors,which would be more good looking.

If i visit the show room ,I am sure that I would eat some chocolate from the car
