In all seriousness the term "unicorn" in relation to cars is NOT porsche specific. It is just a slang term for a very rare vehicle......plain and simple.

actually it's just a term for a mythical horse like creature with one horn in the center of its head. hence the name. LOL
early 13c., from Old French unicorne, from Late Latin unicornus (Vulgate), from noun use of Latin unicornis (adj.) "having one horn," from uni- "one" (see uni-) + cornus "horn" (see horn (n.)).
The Late Latin word translates Greek monoceros, itself rendering Hebrew re'em (Deut. xxxiii.17 and elsewhere), which probably was a kind of wild ox. According to Pliny, a creature with a horse's body, deer's head, elephant's feet, lion's tail, and one black horn two cubits long projecting from its forehead. Compare German Einhorn, Welsh ungorn, Breton uncorn, Old Church Slavonic ino-rogu.
got nothing to do with cars rare or otherwise, but everyone knows a white 996 tt is a unicorn
