There’s nothing that could make a model look better than a vintage car, and Elsa Hosk knows it. Posing next to a Porsche, the former Victoria's Secret Angel and the car really seemed picture-perfect.
Dressed up in jeans, a pink hoodie and hat, Elsa Hosk channels the vintage vibe of the Porsche 944 with her recent snaps. With her hands in her pockets, the 32-year-old Swedish model announces in her latest Instagram post that this is her “favorite red.”

The Porsche 944 hit the showrooms in 1982. Based on the platform of the 924, the cars rolled off the assembly line of the Audi plant that Porsche leased in Neckarsulm, Germany. Porsche had no idea back then that it would turn out to be the company's most popular sports car before the introduction of the Boxter in 1996.

Given the rims on the car Elsa Hosk poses next to, the model (the motorized one, we mean) could be a Turbo, for which the classic alloy wheels came stock. The 944 Turbo rocked a four-cylinder 2.5-liter engine. The base Turbo offered 217 horsepower (222 ps), and the S version added 30 more, up to a total of 247 horsepower (250 ps).

It’s unclear whether Elsa Hosk actually owns the vehicle, but she sure has a thing for red vintage supercars. She previously had a photoshoot with a Ferrari 308 GTS, also in red.

Hosk reportedly owns a Cadillac Escalade and a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. And she is now only confirming her love for Porsche, after having previously shared a set of pictures including a Cayman 987. With a net worth of $10 million, she could easily afford any of them.

But one thing’s for sure, Elsa Hosk and vintage cars really make a good team.
