On April 1st, Ray Catena Porsche hosted an extravagant event at the Liberty House Restaurant on Audrey Zapp Drive in Jersey City. Boasting stunning views of the New York City skyline, the private party surrounded attendees with culinary creations and circus-style entertainment.  Highlights of the event included a hand-crafted Porsche ice sculpture, aerialists and contortionists, a red carpet photo station, a jewelry display by Yanina & Co., hand-rolled cigars, and a collection of unique and upscale raffle prizes. General Sales Manager Joe Germino began the festivities with a short speech introducing the new 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera, powered by a new rear-mounted 3-liter turbocharged and intercooled flat-six with a base output of 370 horsepower. The curtains then dropped, unveiling two new Carreras (debuting in the 1960s, the 911 has achieved nothing less than legendary status and is often referred to as pinnacle of automobiledom). Additionally, a stunning Porsche-themed fireworks display over the New York City skyline wowed spectators before the party came to a close. Upon their exit, guests were encouraged to view, sit in, and experience the sound and feeling of the all-new 911.
