There's Still Time To Win A Collectible Porsche Targa 911 Room Key 
During this year's Auto Show in Detroit, Porsche executives and guests stayed at the famous Greektown Hotel and Casino. Upon check-in you were presented with the key above. Unlike the keys we've given away in the past, this one shows the silhouette of the new Targa as everyone was there for the world premier. It simply wouldn't do to give away the first official picture on a hotel room key before anyone saw the Targa in person. Because these keys are so limited in number, and from the world premier of a 911 that is making history (due to the operation of its incredible top), these are an bound to become an important piece of Porsche memorabilia (even more so if you plan on buying a Targa).  We have 25 to giveaway.  Here's how to get yours.
