Porsche restores Jesus statue in ad after removal.

Porsche Releases Updated Ad Featuring Statue of Jesus Christ

Germany-based automaker Porsche‍ has unveiled ​a new version of their ad, which caused controversy after the‍ original version removed a statue ⁣of Jesus Christ. The ad, ​released on Sunday,‍ now includes the iconic Cristo Rei statue located in Lisbon, Portugal.

“In an early version of⁤ a film ​created ‌in Europe, the ⁤Cristo​ Rei‍ Statue does not appear,” Porsche ​stated. “We are truly‍ sorry and ⁤can fully understand the hurt this has caused. This film has been removed.”

The absence of the statue was ⁢first noticed by a ⁢user on X, the popular social​ media platform. However, Porsche quickly rectified the situation ‌by reintroducing the ​statue in the ​updated ad.

The advertisement ​was created to celebrate ⁢the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911 and showcased their 911⁤ S/T model.

The Cristo Rei statue, ​standing at an ⁣impressive 90 feet ‌tall with a 270-foot pedestal, was built in 1959. It depicts Jesus with outstretched arms, overlooking the city ⁢of Lisbon, ⁢Portugal.

The Washington Examiner reached out to Porsche for​ further⁣ comment.
