The 911 Dakar can navigate terrains of all kinds, offering a unique option for sports car drivers in search of adventure both on and off the paved road. An irresistible temptation for professional rally drivers and more.

“Dreams Are Our Biggest Driving Force”

29 September 2022 is a historic day for the sports car manufacturer from Zuffenhausen: Porsche is going public. In this Christophorus interview, CEO Oliver Blume and CFO Lutz Meschke provide insights into the future of the brand.

Icons of Tomorrow

Numerous technical details were specially developed for it: the Porsche 963. And so this top player of the coming LMDh season is like a finger pointing from the future.

Birth of a Quality Seal

Today, the Porsche crest is one of the most popular trademarks in the world. Since 1952, it has adorned every sports car from Zuffenhausen. But how did the idea for it come about? The traces lead back to New York City in the early 1950s.

Less Is More

A conversation with his grandfather led to a plan to collect all of the air-cooled RS models. Today his garage is like a museum.

Creativity:

Beyond Silence

Arndt-Helge Grap once wanted to be a music teacher. Now his company Radiopark develops soundscapes for businesses. Globally, around the clock, and tailored to the specific brand experience.

The Racing Line Through the Alps

How does it feel to navigate Europe’s most extreme mountain passes in the slipstream of a dozen cup pilots? The mountain scenery is breathtaking during the first Passion Drive, a new Porsche event format.

My car is my castle – life on four wheels

A Cayenne for Any situation

The Cayenne is turning 20 and its influence has been great: helping to define the brand as well as combining comfort and off-road qualities with sportiness. As an all-arounder, it has also been met with enthusiasm by our customers.

The calm before the jump:

Call of the Wind

Kitesurfing is both an extreme sport and a source of energy. Nowhere in Europe can it be experienced as intensively as in Tarifa in Spain. An encounter with the wind and the waves – and two superstars of the international kitesurfing scene.

Hidden Treasures

Archaeological exhibits and architectural finesse – the parking garage by Zurich’s opera house is a modern museum – but also tells a story that is more than 5,000 years old. We join the car park attendant on the night shift in his underground workplace.

Welcome to the Club

The most recent project of the largest Porsche Club in the world was the result of intercontinental exchange: it is a one-off composition of choice ingredients from different generations of the Porsche 911.

Number 5006 Is Alive

The car was considered lost without a trace for almost 60 years until a mysterious call was received. Two collectors had come across the oldest Porsche 356 produced in Germany to still exist. And how they salvaged it is a story fit for the big screen.

Sense of Time

The paths of Porsche and TAG Heuer have been crossing for over half a century. A shared culture connects the companies. CEO Frédéric Arnault transfers values into the present and future.

“I’m Extremely Sensitive”

Because he’s turned off by all of the attention, he once even avoided the third World Rally Championship. Nonetheless, we’d like to take this opportunity to wish him happy birthday – he turns 75 on March 7. In Leipzig, a city that’s special to him.

With the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo, the design team looks to the distant future. The study was initiated for the Gran Turismo 7 racing game. But as is typical of Porsche, a real model of the gaming vehicle was built in Weissach.

It didn’t even have its striking shell yet when development engineer and race-car driver Lars Kern started testing the future: the technology of the Mission R.
