In the annals of automobiledom, few sports cars can touch the Porsche 911. The iconic two-seater has been constantly refined over several decades without a single drastic redesign, and it's hard to argue that one is needed. The German wonder car has received a steady regimen of more technology and more horsepower, but it never seems to get too much of anything at once.

The bloggers of all cars German (well, only Audi, VW, and Porsche) over at the German Car Blog found a great video that documents the slow but steady diet of change that has taken place over 50+ years. Click after the jump to watch the tires get wider and the headlights get flatter while the 911's body roll fades into history. You'll have to get over the yesteryear techno music, but the video is worth it.

In perhaps the least surprising move in recent automotive histroy, Volkwagen has essentially confirmed that the production version of the IROC concept will revive the Scirocco nameplate. We'd have never guessed, what with "Scirocco" already clearly emblazoned across the concept's grille. Anyway, Auto Express reports that at the Paris motor show, a Veedub spokeswoman said, "It now seems that we will be using the Scirocco name."

It now seems? Lady, did you see the concept car before Paris? I mean, come on. Anyway, mark your calendars: the warm desert wind blows back into showrooms in 2008.
