  • 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.

  • One of a Kind: the Boxster Bergspyder Years Ago, a Porsche Development Team Designed the Prototype of a New Edition of the Legendary Bergspyder
    newsroom History Jun 1, 2019 One of a kind: the Boxster Bergspyder Years ago, a Porsche development team designed the prototype of a new edition of the legendary Bergspyder. The study, based on the 981 Boxster generation, did not pass the feasibility test in the end. Here, Porsche Newsroom tells the story. Porsche engineers constantly use prototypes to test the lightweight construction potential of the current generations of sports cars. A car especially predestined for this treatment was the Boxster, an open-top two-seater and the lightweight model among the series production vehicles from Zuffenhausen. In 2015, the Executive Board commissioned a project group from Weissach to build a sports car based on the 981, that was to be as light and minimalist as possible. The prototype was to have an even more radical and uncompromising design than the brand new Boxster Spyder in order to achieve an exceptional power-to-weight ratio with associated superior driving dynamics. The legendary Porsche 909, with its ready-to-drive weight of 384 kg — the lightest racing car ever used by Porsche — was built with similar specifications almost 50 years before. For the engineers, the name for the project was obvious: 981 Bergspyder. Deciding on the choice of colour was also quick: white with green touches. Page 1 of 3 The Porsche 909 (right) was built with similar specifications as the Boxster Bergspyder Based on a 981 Boxster, the result was a single-seater sports car without a top, door handles or windscreen. As with the Porsche hillclimb racing cars from the late 1960s, there was only a flat, transparent wind deflector which extended around the driver and ended at the doors.

  • Project 356/930 After Thirty-One Years in Australia, Viktor Grahser Returned to His Native Austria with One Suitcase and Three 356S
    newsroom Scene and Passion Jan 14, 2020 Project 356/930 After thirty-one years in Australia, Viktor Grahser returned to his native Austria with one suitcase and three 356s. Eleven years after Grahser died, one 356 Roadster has now been completely restored. And has found a distinguished owner. The year is 1996. The place is an inn in the village of Klein-Neusiedl, population nine hundred, around twenty-five kilometers southeast of the Austrian capital of Vienna. Viktor Grahser sits alone at a table in the far corner, talking excitedly in English. He has ordered stuffed crêpes, like he does every Friday. Three years ago he returned to Austria for reasons of the heart. The woman for whom he left his adopted homeland of Australia after thirty-one years is no longer in his life. Grahser, who trained as an aviation mechanic, is fifty-six years old. His features are chiseled; his brown hair is combed back and sticks out over his collar. He’s wearing blue overalls, and his jacket with a Trans-Australia Airlines logo is slung over a chair. A rusted bicycle stands outside the door. Cigarettes lie on the table to his right, and to his left a car magazine that he leafs through while engaging in conversation with himself. Auspicious encounter “Here we go, my friend,” says Grahser, pointing to the heart of his home. Schmied can hardly believe his eyes. A Porsche 356 Speedster stands in the middle of the living room, with just one headlight and no floor or seats. The engine lies behind it, next to a pile of wood.

It is the archetypal sports car for everyday driving, and a style icon that is unmis- takable as both the face and heart of the Porsche brand: the 911. In Zuffenhausen today, the one-millionth model rolled off the production line – a Carrera S in the special colour “Irish Green”, with numerous exclusive features following the original 911 from 1963. The two-door car remains the most strategically important model in the product range and makes a huge contribution to maintaining Porsche’s position as one of the most profitable car manufacturers in the world. Dr Wolfgang Porsche, Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Porsche AG, has been a part of the development of the 911 since day one: “54 years ago, I was able to take my first trips over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road with my father.

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.

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.

Maximisation of minimalism. Devotion to design. Elegance. One: rebel, cult figure, eternally young, alone. The other: magician, legend steeped in contradiction, never without her. Conjunction of opposites, united in passion. The number 130 on the bonnet of James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder: symbol of a movement that transcends death. In Salzburg people could tell when Herbert von Karajan was there by the car parked at the offices of its famous festival hall: “God drives a Porsche.” Furrows and flat surfaces, curves and corners, aggression and graciousness, strength and elegance, speed and solidity, focussed concentration and casual playfulness: seemingly disparate forces in precisely calibrated balance. Breaking free of the confluence of automated currents, setting one’s own course, experiencing the pleasure of authenticity beyond efficiency. Refuge for individualists, nonconformists, the avant-garde. Exclusive, yet right in the middle of it all. Targa Florio, Le Mans: dream-like places, built out of triumph and tragedy. One: a victorious hero. The other: still a hero in defeat.
