Episode 8 – On the road

From breath-taking alpine passes via the Porsche circuit in Leipzig, to the summit of Pikes Peak and along endless highways: episode 8 of the 9:11 Magazine is on the road. See a selection of rare Porsche models, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo, eight Cayman GT4 Clubsport vehicles and the 597 “Jagdwagen.

Eleventh Heaven

Eleven world-famous curves brought together on one track: The Porsche Leipzig circuit is as unique as it is thrilling. The circuit was designed by civil engineer Hermann Tilke. In the 9:11 Magazine, he offers ambitious drivers some insider tips.

All-terrain talent

In 1955, Porsche presented the type 597 “Jagdwagen”: a perfect offroader. Weighing in at just 870 kilograms, powered by a 50-hp, four-cylinder flat engine and featuring all-wheel drive, it was an almost unstoppable force – whether on land or water.
