Porsche caused a firestorm of criticism when it edited out the famous Cristo Rei statue which overlooks Lisbon, Portugal out of a video celebrating 60 years of the 911. Towards the beginning of the video, which we’ve shared for your viewing, a woman drives by the 25 de Abril Bridge in the capital city with the famous statue of Jesus Christ in the background erased, leaving only the pedestal visible.
Who trashed this Porsche 911 GT3?
People immediately noticed the edit and were outraged. Why Porsche felt the need to have the statue, which was inspired by Rio de Janeiro’s famous Christ the Redeemer statue, is unclear at this point. However, the automaker uploaded a new video with the unedited background for the video and issued an apology after the original upload to YouTube sparked outrage in the comments section.
