 Derek Motorcar Co. in Fort Wayne had two Porsche's in their showroom. I tried to get a good shot with both the yellow and red. They also had a Bentley Turbo and several Mercedes. But I picked this shot because of the spoiler and the distinctive window shape that has characterized the Porsche 911 series since 1965. If you've never driven a Porsche - don't (unless and until you can afford one).

For those who voted down on this because they thought it DNMC:

The challenge was to convey speed (fast or slow), not to show something speeding.

If Porsche, one of the fastest production automobiles in the world for over 40 years doesn't convey speed...

BTW - Word of advice. If you like to drive, don't drive a Porsche unless you can afford to buy one. Especially not on a twisting, windy road.

And in case you're wondering, no, I don't own one (although I'd like to...)

Nice clean capture. But u might have tried getting it in action if u wanted to convey speed.

A parked Porsche make it rather unspeedy
The focal point is confusing, what exactly do you want to show with this car (except for showing a car brand)?
