Porsche 995 research car 1978/79, 8-cylinder V-engine, 130 hp, 1,290 kg, 200 km/h

Commissioned by the German Ministry for Research and Technology as a concept for a futuristic sports car. The focus was on consumption, safety PROJECT: and noise emissions. The car had a ﬁve-gear double clutch and two engine concepts: a V8 engine with automatic cylinder shut-off and a four-valve four-cylinder power unit. TOP SECRET! Development, research and experimentation lie at the heart of the Porsche brand. Over 4,500 engineers work in the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach in order to ensure that Porsche is always a step ahead. The path to new innovations is not always a straight one. For technical or economic reasons, many good ideas don’t make it to series production.

After these projects are completed, the secret studies and development vehicles are usually scrapped. However, the most important or most exciting of these projects are passed on to the Porsche Museum. From there, they will now be made public for the ﬁrst time as part of a special exhibition.

Porsche 960 P.E.S. study 1980, 8-cylinder V-engine, 250 hp, 1,090 kg, 260 km/h

Lower consumption, higher safety. As part of the 8th Trafﬁc Safety Conference (ESV) in October 1980, Porsche presented the study of a safety vehicle. The aim was to save a considerable amount of fuel by reducing the weight without having to make compromises on safety- relevant components. As a result, not only the doors, bonnet and front wings, but the entire front section of the vehicle are manufactured from aluminium. There are also numerous developments for pedestrian and occupant protection that were used in subsequent vehicle generations.

01 News from Porsche AG Porsche 924 world record vehicle 1976/77, 4-cylinder turbo, 250 hp, 980 kg, 280 km/h

Porsche wanted to accompany the market launch of the 924 with a spectacular marketing campaign. The 924 too was a response to the increasing sensibility for consumption and acquisition costs. The aim was for the 924 to set a long-distance record as a high-speed vehicle with a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and an average speed of approximately 250 km/h. Thanks to its ingenious aerodynamics, it achieved speeds as high as 280 km/h, making it at least the fastest 924. The project was stopped for strategic reasons shortly before the record attempt in 1977.

They were one of a kind. They were ahead of their time. And they were top secret.

Long-term vehicle FLA research project 1973, 4-cylinder bank, 75 hp, approx. 1,000 kg, approx. 160 km/h

As a resource-efﬁcient response to the global economic and oil crisis in the 70s, Porsche presented a vehicle concept designed for a life span of 20 years that would be able to travel 300,000 km, which was rather unusual at the time. Both the materials and all technical components were extremely wear-resistant. The 2.5-litre engine achieved a modest 75 hp; however, this allowed it to achieve a maximum life output.

On 4th of September 2014, the 918 Spyder was the ﬁrst vehicle with global road approval to drive the 20.6 kilometre-long Nordschleife of the Nürburg- ring in under seven minutes. At exactly six minutes and 57 seconds, Porsche Porsche 918 Spyder rolling chassis prototype works driver Marc Lieb beat the former record by 14 seconds. 2011, parallel full hybrid with V8 engine + 2 electric motors With the Nürburgring record, the 918 Spyder proves the enormous potential 550 hp, 1,250 kg, 150 km/h of the Porsche plug-in hybrid concept and underlines the pioneering role of the company in this forward-looking technology. After the study of the 918 made global headlines in Geneva and Beijing, the Board of Management decided on series development in the summer of 2010. The “rolling chassis” shown here comprises a monocoque frame, the chassis and the drivetrain. It is also possible to drive the vehicle without the bodywork, meaning that development engineers were able to start with the ﬁne tuning of the three highly complex powertrain units at a very early stage.

Development, research and experimentation lie at the heart of the Porsche brand. A lot of this takes place behind closed doors. 17 Porsche Club News 3/14

For example, with the SportDesign package with side skirts, Bi-Xenon main headlights in black including the Porsche Dynamic Light System and sports tailpipes in black. Or with 21-inch Cayenne SportEdition wheels painted in black high-gloss with wheel arch extensions.

In other words: Levi provides the best conditions for the Porsche Driving Experience winter programme. In icy, but controlled conditions you can improve your driving skills in our winter programme. Of course under instruction from the Porsche Driving Experience trainers over four successive levels created especially for you: precision, performance, master and the advanced special level. Learn about intelligent braking, evasive manoeuvres or controlled drift on specially prepared sections and handling circuits.

In our school, we’ve got a clear seating plan: Behind the wheel.

The Porsche Sport Driving School.

Basically, our school is like any other. Except that our Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced

levels are known as Precision, Performance and Master. And the academy for special training?

Camp4, Camp4S or Ice Force Training, for example. Our classrooms are driving safety centers,

or international race circuits. Our syllabus is restricted to the essential: sport. And all our

teachers are professional instructors. Their curriculum: optimising your driving safety. But

apart from this? Just as in other schools. Except, perhaps, for the clear seating plan.

And the driving pleasure, naturally.
