Although the company in September will unveil a new generation 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Porsche 911 is the only sports car for which enthusiasts actually pine for the older, less evolved versions of the car. Reasons for this include the generations of gearheads who became imprinted like ducklings on the 911's of their youth, drivers seeking reflected glory (buying a 911 like the one Steve McQueen drove at the beginning of 'Le Mans'), and the fact that 'sports cars are sensual things, and the older cars are, well, more sensual,' said Mr. Neil.

What they are saying is the porshe groopies want the earlyer versions of the 911, that includes the gearheads (car nuts) that grew up with the older versions of the car.
