|
|
As headlight technology has advanced, so has our ability to see greater distances ahead into the dark of night. However, even the best LED lights, like Porsche's matrix headlights found on the new Panamera, illuminate the night only so far (200 meters in this case).

914-6, but it's the first time we've heard him give such a thorough background on a Porsche he's owned for nearly 45 years. Jeff's one of the nicest guys we know in the Porsche community and his 914-6 fits him perfectly.
