  • 60 YEARS of PORSCHE CLUBS WORLDWIDE Part 3 ⁄ 5: 1973–1982
    Porsche Club News 3/12 04 Porsche Club Special 60 YEARS OF PORSCHE CLUBS WORLDWIDE Part 3 ⁄ 5: 1973–1982 The community of Porsche enthusiasts is celebrating 60 years of Porsche Clubs. The foundation of the Westfälischer Porsche Club Hohensyburg on 26th of May 1952 was the germ of a unique idea that today is brought to life every day by events held by around 640 Porsche Clubs around the world. Today, 181,000 Club members represent a life of Porsche enthusiasm and strong ties with the brand and with the Porsche company. Part 3 of our series highlights the period from 1973 to 1982 – from the G-model to the advent of the Porsche Club Coordination and the foundation of the national umbrella organisation in Germany. Keep on Rollin’: in 1975, the cars were not the only things that were brightly coloured. Above all, along with the various racing cars, the Porsche Parade USA featured every version of the 911 28 Porsche Club News 3/12 04 Porsche Club Special 60 YEARS OF PORSCHE CLUBS WORLDWIDE Teil 3 ⁄ 5: 1973–1982 1973 041. Porsche Club Südtirol 06/02/1973 1973 — On 06/02/1973, the Porsche Club Südtirol is founded in Bolzano. As South Tyrol is situ- ated in the border region between the Italian low- lands and the Alps, it offers perfect terrain for ex- cursions and international gatherings, and in the 1970s, this alone ensured that the South Tyrol Club became very famous indeed. The most powerful racing car of its day, the Porsche 917/30 Spyder, enjoys its motor racing premiere in May, driven by Mark Donohue.

  • The Most Famous Porsche Seat Designs
    newsroom History Dec 25, 2018 The most famous Porsche seat designs Hollywood fashion stylist, Ilaria Urbanati, rates the best seat patterns from over 70 years of sports car history, together with Ivo van Hulten and Cornelia Rosenbohm from Style Porsche. For the fourth episode of the Top 5 series, Porsche welcomes a guest from the USA: Ilaria Urbanati. She is a fashion stylist from Hollywood, who dresses stars such as Ryan Reynolds, James Marsden and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Together with Ivo van Hulten, Head of the Interior Design Studio in Weissach, and Cornelia Rosenbohm, a Colour and Trim expert for the Design Studio, she presents the Top 5 fancy seat patterns. #5 Porsche 928 Page 1 of 5 The ranking begins with the Porsche 928 with red and white stripes and a special feature on its headrests: the logo by Ferry Porsche. The colour contrast between the fine white lines and the wider burgundy stripes makes this interior a real eye-catcher. The designers of our number five instantly hit the mark with Ilaria, an avowed 80s fan. #4 Porsche 911 (G series) Stripes continue to determine the ranking: in fourth place is a Porsche 911 with pinstripes in maroon and white. This G-Series is the last 3.2-litre 911 ever built, and left the Zuffenhausen factory in 1989. It marks the end of the almost 17-year history of the second 911 generation. The combination of Carrara White Metallic paint finish and pinstripe interior design is a fitting tribute to this finale. #3 Porsche 911 Turbo „Louise“ The “Louise” Turbo, named after Louise Piëch, is not only the first turbo engine in a Carrera body, but also ranked third by our experts.

  • JACKY ICKX Porsche
    Foreword by JACKY ICKX Porsche Although the first Porsche sports car, the 356, did not appear until after the Second World War, the family involvement in the motor industry dates back to 1898. Ferdinand Porsche's contribution to the development of the Austrian and German industries was considerable, and included important design work on road and sports cars as well as commercial vehicles and highly specialised military engines. Founded in 1931, the Porsche independent design company was responsible for the development of the vastly successful Volkswagen car, and it is a tribute to the man's genius that the car is still in limited production today. The success of the Porsche cars in sports racing events since the war has been considerable, indeed it is probably true to say that their wins over this period have been unequalled. Although known mainly for their exotic sports cars, the Porsche company plays an important part in assisting other manufacturers worldwide, in the design and development of diverse products, both ergonomic and technical. This book traces the fascinating history of the Porsche contribution to the automobile industry, the company's own cars, and their involvement in the world of motor racing. It is a tribute to one of the world's major sports car manufacturers, whose product is a symbol of craftsmanship, precision and quality. • PORSCHE MICHAEL COTTON Designed by PHILIP CLUCAS msiad Produced by TED SMART and DAVID GIBBON Shell CRESCENT BOOKS NEW YORK FOREWORD I am, in all modesty, delighted to be associated with the tribute that this book n Professor Porsche, who in my family has always been looked upon as the Alber automobile engineering.

  • The 40Th Anniversary Porsche 928 Celebration, Stuttgart Germany by Richard Andrade
    The 40th Anniversary Porsche 928 Celebration, Stuttgart Germany By Richard Andrade The relexa Waldhotel Schatten was fitting location for the event. The relexa Waldhotel Schatten lies outside of the busy city of Stuttgart. Its history, dating back to 1783, is quite fitting for a Porsche celebration. It is an old racing event hotel and meeting point and it sits directly at an “S” bend of the former Solitude Race track. The road in front of the hotel was part of the Solitude Race track which from 1925 had a length of 22.3 km and started and finished at the Schloss (Castle) Solitude. With 26 left curves and 19 right curves the Solitude track hosted motorcycle and automobile races, even the 1964 Formula 1 race. This year, the Porsche 928 Club Germany had two reasons to celebrate; it was the 40th anniversary of the Porsche 928 and secondly it was the 20th anniversary of their club which was founded at the Techno Classica in Essen in 1997. The Porsche 928 was introduced at the Geneva Salon in March of 1977. Porsche’s first production automobile, the 356 was introduced at the Salon in 1950. Porsche began shipments of the 928 in late 1977. Friday April 21, 2017: This was our busy day. The sound of the German V8 engines filled the air as we prepared for the “indirect” drive to the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen. Copyright 2017 Richard Andrade.
