Chapter 1: 911 and the tides

The French road Passage du Gois is under water for most of the day. Those who dare to drive it must take into account the laws of nature. A special trip with the new 911.

Chapter 2: Ear to the road

Driving with confidence on wet roads: the Porsche Wet Mode assistance system detects moisture in the wheel housings using acoustic sensors and warns the driver if there is a risk of aquaplaning. Technology for maximum safety.

Chapter 3: R Gruppe

The members of the R Gruppe in California have indulged their special passion for Porsche for 20 years – and aren't worried about either bad weather or the opinions of others. There is only one guiding principle for this clique from California: there are no rules.

Chapter 4: Stuck’s finest hour

Hans-Joachim Stuck wore his helmet with the white stars at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1987. With a heroic drive through the rainy night, he laid the foundation for the Porsche 962 C victory.

Poor weather, a tense atmosphere – in spite of the turbulent conditions, Porsche and the two 911 RSR cars secured the world championship title in the FIA World Endurance Championship one round before the final race. The 9:11 Magazine looks back.
