Porsche launches new open source initiative

To meet the challenges of the future, it is essential that Porsche embraces software as one of its core competencies. The company already uses open source software widely and now, thanks to a newly created control process, employees can even more easily participate in its development and publish code on the GitHub development platform.

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)
