Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

    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.

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.

  • Press Release September 27, 2018
    Press Release September 27, 2018 Clubsport race car with 700 hp at the anniversary of 70 Years of Porsche Sports Cars World premiere: Exclusive new edition of the Porsche 935 Stuttgart. Porsche has unveiled the new 935 on the occasion of the historic “Rennsport Reunion” motorsport event at Laguna Seca Raceway in California. The 515 kW (700 hp) racer featuring a body reminiscent of the legendary Porsche 935/78 will be produced in a limited number of 77 units. “This spectacular car is a birthday present from Porsche Motorsport to fans all over the world,” says Dr Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Motorsport and GT Cars. “Because the car isn’t homologated, engineers and designers didn’t have to follow the usual rules and thus had freedom in the development.” The race car’s technology for clubsport events and private training on racetracks is based on the 911 GT2 RS high-performance sports car. Like its historic predecessor, most of the body has been replaced or supplemented by carbon-fibre composite parts (CFRP). With its streamlined extended rear, the 935 reaches a length of 4.87 metres. The width of the exclusive clubsport racer measures 2.03 metres. The spectacular aerodynamics is a completely new development and pays tribute to the Porsche 935/78 Le Mans race car, which fans dubbed “Moby Dick” due to its elon- gated shape, massive fairings and white base colour. The distinctive wheel arch air vents on the front fairings, which also feature on the GT3 Porsche 911 GT3 R customer vehicle, increase downforce at the front axle.
