With the launch of a revolutionary program based on production principles utilized in Porsche sports car manufacturing, Porsche Design is taking the creation of exclusive Swiss wristwatches to the next level with the Porsche Design custom-built Timepieces program. This is the first time the concept of a fully customized timepiece, perfectly tailored to match one’s dream Porsche , will enter into series production. The centerpiece: The Porsche Design watch configurator The menu navigation and overall design of the new watch configurator are based on the well- established Porsche car configurator. Just like the Porsche 911 range, the watch is digitally visualized down to the smallest detail to provide customers with a realistic depiction of their dream timepiece. "The rendering model is based on CAD data from our designers at Studio F. A. Porsche in Zell am See and our engineers in Solothurn," says Rolf Bergmann, Managing Director of Porsche Design Timepieces AG. The features, including the pricing for each re- spective configuration, are displayed in real time. A basic custom-built Timepiece starts at $6,000 USD and, depending on the options selected, can range up to $12,500 and includes up to three additional leather straps. Orders are placed exclusively through Porsche dealers and delivery will take eight to 12 weeks. The program will be launched with all participating Porsche dealers in Germany on July 1, 2020, followed by the UK and U.S. on September 1, 2020.

  • Seven Generations of the 911 Five Decades of Evolution
    newsroom Products May 11, 2017 Seven generations of the 911 Five decades of evolution. A review. 1963: The original 911 911 2,0 Coupé from 1965 As the successor to the Porsche 356, the 911 won the hearts of sports car enthusiasts from the outset. The prototype was first unveiled at the Frankfurt IAA Motor Show in 1963 as the 901, and was renamed the 911 for its market launch in 1964. Its air-cooled six-cylinder flat engine with two-litre displacement delivered 130 hp, giving it an impressive top speed of 210 km per hour. If you wanted to take things a little slower, you could also opt for the four-cylinder Porsche 912 from 1965. In 1966, Porsche presented the Page 1 of 6 160 hp 911 S, which was the first to feature forged alloy wheels from Fuchs. The 911 Targa, with its distinctive stainless steel roll-over bar, made its debut in late 1966 as the world’s first ever safety cabriolet. The semi-automatic Sportomatic four-speed transmission joined the line-up in 1967. And with the 911 T, and the later E and S variants, Porsche became the first German manufacturer to comply with strict US exhaust emission control regulations. The Porsche 911 became more and more powerful as displacement increased, initially to 2.2 litres (1969) and later to 2.4 (1971). The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 of 1972 with a 210 hp engine and weighing less than 1000 kg remains the epitome of a dream car to this day. Its characteristic “ducktail” was the world’s first rear spoiler on a production vehicle.

  • The Porsche Type List
    The Porsche Type List When Professor Ferdinand Porsche started his business, the company established a numeric record of projects known as the Type List. As has been reported many times in the past, the list began with Type 7 so that Wanderer-Werke AG did not realize they were the company’s first customer. Of course, as a result, Porsche’s famous car, the 356 as defined on the Type List, was actually Porsche’s 350th design project. In reviewing the Porsche Type List enclosed on this website, you might notice several interesting aspects. First, although there is a strong chronological alignment of Type numbers, it is certainly not perfect. No official explanation exists as to why this occurs. It is possible that Type numbers were originally treated only as an informal configuration and data management tool and today’s rigorous examination of Porsche history is but an aberration of 20/20 hindsight. Secondly, you might also notice that there were variations on Type List numbers that were probably made rather spontaneously. For example, consider the Type 60 with its many “K” variations to designate different body styles. Also consider how the Type 356 was initially a tube frame chassis then changed to a sheet metal chassis with the annotation 356/2 but the /2 later reused to describe different body/engine offerings. Then there were the variants on the 356 annotated as 356 SL, 356A, 356B, and 356C designations and in parallel there were the 356 T1 through 356 T7 designations. Not to mention, of course, the trademark infringement threat that caused the Type 901 to be externally re-designated as the 911.

  • History and Variants of the 996 Carrera MY1998
    History and Variants of the 996 Carrera MY1998 The 996 was introduced to the world at the Frankfurt Motor show in September 1997. It was a radical redesign of the 911 concept with a completely new body shell, and for the first time the engine was water cooled. Designers Pinky Lai and Harm Lagaay produced a svelte new form which was 30mm wider and 173mm longer than its predecessor, the 993. Structural stiffness of the new bodyshell was up by 45% in torsion, and 50% in flexure. Drag coefficient was down to 0.3 from 0.33, and the extra internal dimensions gave the car a roomier and luxurious feel. But it remained instantly recognisable as a 911. The 996 shared many components of the 986 Boxster, and the cars were visually virtually identical from the nose to the ‘A’ pillar. The car was much cheaper to produce than the 993, as a result of bringing in Japanese consultants to assist with production techniques. The engine was also the same basic design as the Boxster, albeit enlarged to 3.4 litres. Emission and noise regulations determined the unavoidable necessity for the new engine to be water cooled. The engine used four-valve technology with a new variocam system for adjusting the camshaft timing to produce an increase in torque and reduction of hydrocarbon emissions. The engine also featured what can only be described as a ‘semi-wet’ sump, as the oil reservoir was incorporated within the crankcase. Transmission was provided by either a manual 6-speed transmission manufactured by Getrag, or a 5-speed tiptronic automatic gearbox supplied by ZF.

Ferdinand Anton Ernst (Ferry) Porsche in March of 1998 meant bidding farewell to one of the last greats of automotive history.
