Write a short summary of what happens in the film

It’s night. Inside a hangar the light is very dim. After a few moments, we recognize iconic Porsche models from every decade standing here. The silent is total. All of a sudden, the old radio of a 911 goes on and starts „You really got me“ by The Kinks. The song sounds hollow in the huge space. And then, one by one, the other Porsches also come “alive”. Their radio systems join in, playing the same song, and creating one of a kind jam session that fills the hall. After a pause, one last car parked in the darkest corner joins in. Its shapes look totally unknown. We see the futuristic dashboard, then back to the exterior where a red stripe lits up. The flashy Taycan is soon set to epically drive off into the darkness.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

The launch of the Taycan, the first all-electric Porsche model ever, was one of the most highly anticipated events of the year for the whole automotive industry. The task was to show the world that this car is only the latest chapter of a glorious history. That it is a 100% true Porsche, since it definitely shares the same brand’s soul as any other model. That the only difference is the way it’s propelled, while its DNA still remains 100% Porsche.
