  • Le Mans 1998 – the Anniversary Victory
    Le Mans 1998 – the anniversary victory Porsche celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding with victory in Le Mans, overcoming stiff competition from Mercedes, BMW and Toyota. Driven by Allan McNish, Laurent Aïello and Stéphane Ortelli, the 911 GT1 ’98 secured Porsche’s 16th overall victory in Le Mans. The strength of the starting field led Porsche race director Herbert Ampferer to describe it as the ‘race of the century’. A crowd of at least 250,000 attended the 1998 edition of the classic race, with Porsche not looking much like a winner in the opening stages. An AMG-Mercedes took the lead early on and the BMWs were also setting a good pace, but engine trouble and problems with the wheel bearings forced the cars from both teams to retire. The Porsche 911 GT1 ’98 models were built with a focus on durability rather than recording the quickest lap times. The engineer Norbert Singer noted the gearbox as an example of this phenomenon, as rival Toyota took greater risks than Porsche in its design and trusted that this would enable them to perform a gearbox change within a few short minutes. By the early hours of Sunday morning, the quickest Toyota and the two Porsches – one driven by Allan McNish, Laurent Aïello and Stéphane Ortelli, the other by Jörg Müller, Uwe Alzen and Bob Wollek – were almost neck-and- neck. However, both cars from Weissach then lost time in the pits. Jörg Müller gave his team a lot of work to do after spinning into the gravel, with the entire crew descending on the Porsche to perform repairs.

  • Tilman Brodbeck Remembers
    www.porscheroadandrace.com Tilman Brodbeck remembers Published: 12th January 2018 By: Kieron Fennelly Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/tilman-brodbeck-remembers/ Tilman Brodbeck poses with a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Coupé (left) and a 911 Sport Classic (right) – 21 September 2009 To be able to write on your résumé that you worked for one of Porsche’s CEOs would be quite an achievement. Tilman Brodbeck can however do a little better than that, for in a 40- year career, he was assistant to no fewer than five successive Porsche presidents. But, as he tells us, he held other posts too. When he started at Zuffenhausen, the company was still ruled by Ferry Porsche, whose nephew and Technical Director Ferdinand Piëch, was literally snapping at his heels. www.porscheroadandrace.com Ferry Porsche www.porscheroadandrace.com Unlike many of his contemporaries who went to Stuttgart University to complete their education, Tilman Brodbeck went further afield, to Darmstadt 100 miles to the north, for his engineering studies: “I wanted to get away from home,” he smiles revealing the slightly nonconformist streak that runs through much of his thinking. His speciality at Darmstadt was in airflow techniques, a subject then very little developed. Tilman’s background meant that after he joined Porsche he was promoted to body project engineer. “One of my tasks was on the 924 (Porsche’s first front engined model) where getting sufficient cooling air to the engine was quite a challenge within the overall shape we wanted for the car.” Prior to this though and before even being assigned a title, Brodbeck had had to prove himself: he was handed the daunting responsibility of resolving the 911’s tendency to lift its front end at high speed.

  • Master's Thesis Research Project – Sustainable Business and Innovation
    Master’s Thesis Research Project – Sustainable Business and Innovation Dealing with an identity threat: Porsche and the transition to electric mobility Student: Marcelo Brull Student Number: 6557996 Email: [email protected] Supervisor: Dr. Christina Bidmon Course: GEO4-2606 Program: Sustainable Business & Innovation Word count: 17,646 Abstract Due to sustainable transitions, industries and organizations across the globe need to transform and align their product offerings and business practices with more environmentally friendly and socially accepted ways of operating. The movement towards this reality may come to confront organizations and industries’ business as usual, creating an identity threat. This is especially the case for incumbent organizations, who have reached their current market positions based on legacy business practices and products. Understanding how incumbent organizations deal with the identity threat within their external communication becomes important as theory acknowledges that an organization’s ability to communicate the process of change to its stakeholders and manage the expectations of these stakeholders as the organization transforms is as important as the act of changing processes, structures, and products. This longitudinal study explains how an incumbent organization deals with an identity threat caused by a sustainable transition in its external communication, and identified which corporate identity elements does it alter, maintain, and disrupt. As empirical context, the study analyzed Porsche and the transition to electric mobility. The study used Porsche’s external communication (annual/sustainability reports and website for press-related matters) and interviews with Porsche’s senior executives, searched on Nexis Uni research database, during the period of 2005 and 2020. The data was first analyzed to reconstruct the case chronology and then analyzed for the identification of maintenance or change of corporate identity elements.
