Journey into the Known

One of Us

The heart of the brand. The center of the Porsche universe. The 911 is all that and more. But each new generation must do one thing above all else: convince its fans. That’s why one of the first stops for the new 911 is the Friends of Air-Cooled Flat Engines club in Weissach.

Of Myths and Men

August Achleitner is the man behind the new Porsche 911, the finale and crowning achievement of his career. A portrait that becomes surprisingly personal on the drive from Zuffenhausen to Weissach.

Stronger. Racier. Sharper.

All words to describe the new generation of the classic sports car from Zuffenhausen. What are the special features of the new 911? Porsche designers Peter Varga (exterior) and Ivo van Hulten (interior) explain.

Views of the Future

Students in the Transportation Design department at Pforzheim University are learning the skills of their chosen profession. Following in the footsteps of alumnus Michael Mauer, who is head of design for the Volkswagen Group, the second-semester students developed their first automotive designs for a future 911. We compare perspectives.

Eye Contact

What goes on in the minds of passersby when they see the new Porsche 911? We examine this question on Maximilianstraße in Munich.

Thinking One Step Ahead

It’s 6:36 p.m. Time for a quick stop at Porsche Digital in Ludwigsburg. The lights are still on, because the team headed by CEO Thilo Koslowski is envisioning the future. The world premiere of the new Porsche 911 heralds three digital developments that reveal how the Porsche company is expanding beyond the car itself into new horizons.

Speed Date

A tennis star meets a world champion endurance racer. They don’t sit down and chat about performance and success, but instead go out and practice serving and driving. A fast-paced encounter between Angelique Kerber and Mark Webber.

Arrival

At the end of its journey of 911 kilometers (566 miles), the new 911 arrives at the family homestead of the Porsches and Piëchs: the Schüttgut estate in the Austrian town of Zell am See. There, the latest generation of the 911 meets its forebear, a 911 of 1964, while Dr. Wolfgang Porsche explains what gives Porsche its legendary quality.

Free

The new Porsche 911 explores the Turracher Höhe pass. Previously one of the most difficult alpine passages and torture for winter tires, it now offers nothing but pleasure and a sense of freedom fueled by the mind in motion.
