  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".

Jahrestag des Ausbruchs der Revolution beschwören alle drei Motti den Geist dieser Revolution. Mit Schwur ist das Versprechen gemeint, dass die Revolutionäre auf ihren Demonstrationen seit 2011 den Märtyrern gegeben haben: „Ihr werdet nicht umsonst gestorben sein.“ Das Motto „Freitag der Würde“ entspricht dem Motto der ersten geplanten Freitagsde- monstration am 25.03.2011. Demonstrationen kehren mit Feuerpause zurück Dass es eine neue Welle von Demonstrationen gibt, hat damit zu tun, dass es nach Inkraft- treten der Feuerpause nun an vielen Orten wieder möglich ist, auf die Straße zu gehen. Deutsches Institut für Internationale Auch wenn vielerorts weiterhin gekämpft wird (s.u. sonstige wichtige Entwicklungen), so ist in manchen anderen Orten vorsichtige Ruhe eingekehrt. Verschiedene Quellen berich- ten, dass am ersten Freitag im März landesweit in mehr als hundert Städten demonstriert wurde. Proteste auch gegen Jabhat Al-Nusra Bei den Demonstrationen der letzten Wochen ging es um den Sturz des Regimes, auf man- chen auch gegen die Feuerpause und die Verhandlungen in Genf, weil man befürchtet, dass die Verhandlungen ein Versuch sein sollen, das Regime im Sattel zu halten. Manch- mal ging es auch um lokale Forderungen, z. B. um die Einbeziehung von Daraya in die Waffenstillstandsgebiete. Interessant ist, dass die Jabhat Al-Nusra (JN) am 07.03.2016 eine Demonstration in Idlib- Stadt auflöste und den Demonstranten verbot, die Revolutionsfahne zu schwenken.
