 Hi-
This would be Helvetica Ultra Compressed if Linotype or Adobe were still "doing" it. However, Bitstream have created an identical twin called Swiss 911 Ultra Compressed. And, to convince you, I must turn to my good friend MyFonts.com.

As far as not wanting to pay for it goes, I'm afraid you'll have to if you want it. Unfortunately no-one here can tell you where to find it free because, as has been discussed before, doing so would more than likely spell the end of AbstractFonts. And nobody wants that. So you can either dig for it yourself or, better still, buy it.
Good luck!
Boxedly,

Oh well, what can I say about Adrian Frutiger's best known font?
Ok, let's say it's a Swiss typeface, with a Swiss design, with its own Swiss clarity. It's probably one of the most readable (legible?) in the whole set of typefaces.
I think it's cool – not in the meaning of stylish, but cool, as a thing thrown out of the fridge. It certainly makes its job well: it's been designed for CDG's airport signs and banners. Aside from that and road signs or very conservative logos and the small print – address and the like – in the stationery, I do not think I'd use it.
Helvetica, to name another Swiss-made bestseller, has more flair to me and it's more versatile.
(and yes, I do love Switzerland: the square flag, her William Tell and all the cows. And the lakes, the mountains, the weed)

 This has been puzzling me, at first glance it looks like a classic Swiss such as Helvetica, but it's got differences on the 'e' and 'a' terminals a bit like a modern Swiss-a-like such as Arial, yet I can see, especially from the 't', that it isn't Arial, it also looks a bit like Franklin Gothic but isn't.
My guess is they customised Helvetica but I'd love to know for sure
Anyone?

The "Business" text's font isn't 'Swiss 924'! The 'e's are completely different. And the dot over 'i' is much higher in this image than in that font! So tornquist, keep looking for that one!

Hey there SG-
Here we go: your top one, though it looks straightforward, is a little difficult to put a finger on. Put it this way -- it's a heavyweight of either Helvetica, good ol' Arial, Swiss 721 BT or Zurich BT. This, I suppose, depends on exactly how dead-on you wish to be. But this sample is too small and has too few characters to be able to make perfect match. Arial, of course, comes free with Windows9x and upward. Helvetica, Swiss and Zurich are all available from MyFonts at varying prices.
Your second font is much simpler. Originally it would have been Eurostile Extended, but there are clones floating all over the 'net on sites such as this under names like "Eurasia", "Eurose", "Microgramma", and on and on. A little delving and you'll eventually find what you're looking for.
Good lick and also luck,

That font is exclusive to Porsche. They won't even give it to their American advertising agencies.
And if anyone is trying to use it for commercial purposes (right down to the lonely guy who makes 10 pieces of jewelry to sell) and Porsche finds out about it - they send their lawyers in...
Not one of the fonts you want around here.
They've used it for years - my first encounter 1978 - on a brand new 1979 911 SC - on the side in that script it said Targa.

Try Swiss. 721. And, ehh, I'd like the crown jewels for free. Can you help?

Look at the R, the G and the S. This is Helvetica and/or Swiss 721 or one of the many clones around. Try condensed bold variations.
