Google Street View Catches Porsche Testing Secret New Models (GOOG)

In its quest to organize all the world's information, Google (GOOG) has made enemies in the movie-making, publishing, TV, radio, advertising and tech industries.

Now you can add carmakers -- specifically Germany's Porsche -- to the list. A Google Street View car photographing Colorado's high altitude Mount Evans Road caught Porsche testing previously unknown-to-the-public new versions of its Cayman, Boxster, a 911 Turbo and Targa models.

In the photos, you can see Porsche employees desperately trying to throw a tarp over their cars so that Google's camera's can't see them.

Hopefully it's the last time in 2009 we'll see a car company scrambling for a tarp to save it.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

On February 28, Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, joined 31 other media groups and filed a $2.3 billion suit against Google in Dutch court, alleging losses suffered due to the company's advertising practices.
