  • Inside Zeitschrift Craig Valenti Sent Me Photos of This New 2007 Porsche
    Volume 9, Issue 3 SONNENSCHEIN REGION PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA June 2006 Inside Zeitschrift NOTES FROM PETE PROPOSED CALENDER WORDS FROM CHRIS? TRACK TIME WITH JIM NEW BOXSTER S PORSCHE RACING Zeitschrift Craig Valenti sent me photos of this new 2007 Porsche 997 Turbo. This is the newest model of the 911 heritage with more horsepower and torque than the previous model. The 480 bhp and 457 lbs of torque are created by new Vari- able Turbo Geometry and the VarioCam Plus engine. The Variable Turbo is the newest technology to be included which allows the air flow for the turbo to be optimized by changing the angle of the turbo blades. This ability will allow the turbo to spin up more quickly and also provide more boost. Another new feature for this car is the new Por- sche Active Suspension Management system (PASM). The PASM system will allow the 997 to have a soft ride feel when driving around town and on long trips, and when you reach the track you simply touch a button and the cars suspension transforms into a stiff race car. The new wider body now covers the wider tires and also incorporates an improved air intake system for the intercooler. Now having seen and read about this in the Excellence magazine I wondered what it would be like to drive. When Craig sent me the photos I promptly sent him an email reply asking when I could take a test drive. After all I wanted to do a respectable article. His reply was Spring 2007, when the first one arrives that has not been pre-sold.

  • Press Release August 29, 2014 No
    Press Release August 29, 2014 No. M 135/14 FIA World Endurance Championship - LMP1 drivers take a summer break Taking the holiday at full throttle Stuttgart. Despite the FIA World Endurance Championship's long summer break between the races in Le Mans (15th June) and the next outing in Austin, Texas (20th September), Porsche's LMP1 works drivers are not getting bored. In addition to test- ing with the Porsche 919 Hybrid, they have made numerous appearances for the company and indulged their high-speed hobbies. Timo Bernhard's passion is driving Porsche cars – be it for the works team on the track or in a private capacity in rallying or recently hill climbing, too. Two weeks after the 24 Hours of Le Mans, he enjoyed taking part with his Porsche GT3 Cup as the course car in the Rallye Warndt in the German Saarland. With his team-mate Mark Webber he subsequently attended the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where he naturally also dropped by for the Porsche Supercup. The most successful holiday and family excursion came on 13th July - on son Paul's first birthday, Timo took over- all victory in the 41st Homburg ADAC Hill Race in a Porsche 991 Cup (Typ 991) in Germany. The car is normally driven by Earl Bamber (NZ) in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland for Team 75 run by Timo's dad Rüdiger Bernhard. From 21st to 23rd July, Timo and LMP1 colleagues Brendon Hartley and Marc Lieb were busy testing at Paul Ricard, France, which was followed by a detour for Team 75 Berhard's partici- pation at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, before it was then off on holiday with wife Katharina and little Paul.

Interestingly, none of Porsche’s subsequent developments — leading to the 996 generation — had interested him in the least. MARK’S ABSOLUTE PASSION, COmmITMENT AND So, in early 2001, a suitable 993 was identified and purchased from Continental Car Services. The car was one of the first half-a-dozen TREMENDOUS KNOWLEDGE OF THE BRAND BEGAN RHD production vehicles produced by the factory, and was built in November 1993. It was first registered in February 1994, and WHEN HE WAS ABOUT 12 yEARS OLD interestingly, as New Zealand was still selling leaded fuel at the time, the car was fitted with the M150 option from factory — meaning it had no lambda sensors or catalytic converter. The 993 became Mark’s daily driver for the first few years, but was eventually relegated to the status of weekend warrior. During a stint in Wellington the Porsche was exercised regularly through the Rimutakas, over to Greytown and Martinborough. As he was single back then, the car was also used for dating his future wife, ith a history stretching back almost of technology and the classic, 911 air-cooled heritage — in this raced, and he won the very first Porsche Bridgestone Series in it and Mark remembers that their first weekend away together was in five decades, the incredible 911 has instance, in the guise of a 3.6-litre flat-six.
