Porsche Reaches One Million Facebook Fans, Will Carve Their Names Onto A Car

Luxury auto manufacturer Porsche will be celebrating its one millionth Facebook fan by carving the names of fans who sign up through the social network onto a special (and probably very unattractive) Porsche model to be displayed in the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, Germany.

Porsche has some pretty intense online outreach (A Porsche Family Tree! A Porsche Google Chrome theme!), but for most people (myself included) “Liking” that Porsche on Facebook is the closest we’re going to get to a Porsche in real life.

So here’s to hoping the company has an even better surprise planned for its relatively modest 3,305 Twitter followers.

  1. Interesting idea, although as you point out, I am not sure if these promotions attract people who actually plan on buying a Porsche. Though, I guess there is still value in knowing that a Porsche is a highly coveted car.
