    Historia: 911 Turbo, Por Su Cola Le Conoceréis

    Historia: 911 Turbo, por su cola le conoceréis Es muy fácil hablar de Porsche. A poco que conozcamos la marca sabremos que se trata de una de las más laureadas en competición a lo largo de la historia, construye peculiares deportivos y se recrea desafiando desde el comienzo de su existencia los límites de la fí- sica. Aunque todo empezó con el Porsche 356 (para Porsche como marca) no fue hasta 1964 cuando se cimentó la aparición del modelo que hace que Porsche haya tenido un destino hasta nuestros días. En 1964 aparece el Porsche 911. Su arquitectura, se dice a menudo, fue heredada del 356 e incluso del VW Beetle. Nada más lejos de la realidad. Lo que fue heredado fue el concepto, pero no la filosofía del modelo y mucho menos sus característi- cas. El 356 fue diseñado por Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche. Nació como un coupé de motor cen- tral y chasis de aluminio, pero las restricciones económicas y técnicas de la época hicie- ron que acabase heredando motor y componentes mecánicos del VW Beetle, lo que con- Historia: 911 Turbo, por su cola le conoceréis dicionó su arquitectura al todo atras. Esto es: Motor trasero tipo boxer (colgado por detrás del eje trasero) y propulsión trasera. Hoy es historia, pero su legado es plena actualidad, gracias a su sustituto: El 911 (Nueve once para los de casa). Derivó del 356 y ya no se planteó cambiar lo que estaba comercialmente funcionando. Las ansias de los clientes por motores de mayores prestaciones hizo que se pasara del bóxer de 4 a 6 cilindros, pero lo demás siguió con la (corta por aquel entonces) tradición.

    The Most Famous Porsche Seat Designs

    newsroom History Dec 25, 2018 The most famous Porsche seat designs Hollywood fashion stylist, Ilaria Urbanati, rates the best seat patterns from over 70 years of sports car history, together with Ivo van Hulten and Cornelia Rosenbohm from Style Porsche. For the fourth episode of the Top 5 series, Porsche welcomes a guest from the USA: Ilaria Urbanati. She is a fashion stylist from Hollywood, who dresses stars such as Ryan Reynolds, James Marsden and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Together with Ivo van Hulten, Head of the Interior Design Studio in Weissach, and Cornelia Rosenbohm, a Colour and Trim expert for the Design Studio, she presents the Top 5 fancy seat patterns. #5 Porsche 928 Page 1 of 5 The ranking begins with the Porsche 928 with red and white stripes and a special feature on its headrests: the logo by Ferry Porsche. The colour contrast between the fine white lines and the wider burgundy stripes makes this interior a real eye-catcher. The designers of our number five instantly hit the mark with Ilaria, an avowed 80s fan. #4 Porsche 911 (G series) Stripes continue to determine the ranking: in fourth place is a Porsche 911 with pinstripes in maroon and white. This G-Series is the last 3.2-litre 911 ever built, and left the Zuffenhausen factory in 1989. It marks the end of the almost 17-year history of the second 911 generation. The combination of Carrara White Metallic paint finish and pinstripe interior design is a fitting tribute to this finale. #3 Porsche 911 Turbo „Louise“ The “Louise” Turbo, named after Louise Piëch, is not only the first turbo engine in a Carrera body, but also ranked third by our experts.
