Episode 20 of 9:11 Magazine: PIONEERING SPIRITS

The new episode of 9:11 Magazine outlines the drive to dare the extraordinary: Aksel Lund Svindal sails over the Taycan in homage to an iconic photo. And Porsche’s Mission R is the visionary concept of an all-electric car that unites cutting-edge technologies and sustainable materials with the passion for racing.

Episode 20 of 9:11 Magazine: The Jump

Ski racer Aksel Lund Svindal makes a daredevil jump over a Porsche—just like his Austrian predecessor Egon Zimmermann, who sailed over a Porsche 356 in the early 1960s. The world-famous photo stands for the courage to constantly seek new challenges and to push back the limits of the possible.

Episode 20 of 9:11 Magazine: The Trailblazer

Porsche is taking the next big step in electric mobility: the Mission R concept study is a vision of fully electric customer motorsports and a glimpse of what the future could bring for the brand cups. The development team presents the drive concept, the sustainable materials, and highlights of the innovative design.

The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 remains an unlikely success, and it’s as good as driving gets

The 911 GT3 proudly bucks every trend. Its cabin is not filled with gigantic screens and it does not rely on high-tech gimmicks to sell itself. Porsche’s sports car is not a hybrid, let alone a plug-in or an EV. Its engine isn’t even turbocharged. It doesn’t have all-wheel drive, but it does have a manual transmission. 911 GT3: Fuel consumption combined 13,3 - 12,4 l/100 km (NEDC), Fuel consumption combined 13,0 - 12,9 l/100 km (WLTP), CO₂ emissions combined 304 - 283 g/km (NEDC), CO₂ emissions combined 294 - 293 g/km (WLTP)
