Wright Motorsports Reveals 2021 IMSA Program. Holiday Gift. Porsche Cars North America Offers Present for Motorsport Fans. 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone. As it comes to a close and thoughts turn to holiday celebrations and quiet moments of reflection, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) wishes to show our gratitude to motorsport fans the world-over. As a special holiday gift, the popular “Porsche GT Team Poster Series” is now available for immediate download with images of each rendering produced since the concept’s 2018 introduction. Digital copies are available for download at: https://newsroom.porsche.com/en_US/motorsport/porsche-gt-team-imsa-race- weekend-poster-series-2019-2020-23206.html Public Relations Department 1 of 11 Frank Wiesmann Manager, Product Communications Phone +1.770.290.3414 [email protected] Motorsport News December 21, 2020 No. 91/20 PCNA first commissioned a poster for the 2018 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Petit Le Mans finale at the at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. The popularity proved so high that unique event posters were created for every race thereafter beginning with the 2019 Rolex 24 At Daytona. PCNA graphic designer Dustin Gilleland produced each piece in-house until the special “Thank You” livery poster crafted by noted artist Paul Borchers for the 2020 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in November. As these posters’ primary purpose was for driver autograph sessions at the track as well as dealer events, the production of physical copies was stopped after the Covid-19 lockdown. However, a poster for each race was created to continue the fan-focused initiative through the remainder of the Porsche GT Team’s final year in the GTLM class with the Porsche 911 RSR race car. Digital copies of each 2020 poster were made available for download and debuted each week on the Porsche Newsroom but past posters could not be viewed or downloaded. That has been remedied, offering motorsport fans, collectors as well as automotive and Porsche brand enthusiasts a complete archive of the Porsche tradition. Scott Bartlett, Manager, Motorsports & Driving Events, Porsche Cars North America, Inc. “We first created a poster to accompany the Mobil 1 retro livery at Petit Le Mans in 2018 not realizing just how much the fans would enjoy it. We decided to continue with a unique poster for every race beginning in 2019. By the end of the year, we were seeing pictures of fans’ offices, workshops, basements covered in the race posters. Fans were trying to Public Relations Department 2 of 11 Frank Wiesmann Manager, Product Communications Phone +1.770.290.3414 [email protected] Motorsport News December 21, 2020 No. 91/20 track down or trade for a race poster they missed. With the lockdown, we weren’t able to hand them out in person, but we were able to reach more fans by sharing them digitally with the help from our PR team through the Porsche Newsroom. It has been exciting to see just how passionate people are and, with a very grateful heart, this is an opportunity to present every poster as a holiday gift from Porsche.” We’re Back. Porsche Returns to Prototype-Level North American Motorsport The Executive Board at Porsche AG has approved the development of a Le Mans Daytona hybrid (LMDh) racing prototype. After careful evaluation, Porsche Motorsport received the direction to build a vehicle based on future regulations. Beginning in 2023, the LMDh cars will form a new top class in the North American IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Both championships are significant for the German sports car manufacturer and its importer in the United States, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA). Porsche enthusiastically welcomed the introduction of the new class for hybrid prototypes when it was jointly announced by the series organizers at Daytona International Speedway in January 2020. The racing cars, which tip the scales at approximately 2,200 lbs. (1,000 kilograms), are powered by a hybrid powertrain with an anticipated output of 680 hp (500 kW). For the first time in more than 20 years, Porsche will be fighting for overall victories with identical vehicles at endurance races around the world. Moreover, the new LMDh category focuses on high cost-efficiency. The cars are based on an upgraded LMP2 class chassis, with the specifications for the hybrid system, including the electronic Public Relations Department 3 of 11 Frank Wiesmann Manager, Product Communications Phone +1.770.290.3414 [email protected] Motorsport News December 21, 2020 No. 91/20 controls, standardized across all marques. Chassis from four different race car manufacturers are available. Each brand is free to select the concept for the combustion engine and the body design within the framework of the regulations. High-performance hybrid powertrains have enjoyed a long and successful tradition at Porsche Motorsport. In 2010 and 2011, the innovative Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid set new benchmarks at races held on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. At that time, there was no other comparable vehicle with a hybrid system. Between 2014 and 2017, Porsche underlined its expertise in the field of highly efficient, high-performance hybrid powertrains with the 919 Hybrid. In the FIA WEC, the LMP1 class prototype won three times in a row at the Le Mans 24-hour classic. Porsche also clinched the manufacturers’ and drivers’ championship titles three times straight. The return to IMSA competition marks the first time since 2010 that Porsche has competed in the top ranks of North America prototype racing when the last Porsche RS Spyder LMP2 class thoroughbred ran in the IMSA-sanctioned American Le Mans Series. Oliver Blume, CEO at Porsche AG. “The new LMDh category allows us to fight for overall victories with a hybrid system at the Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring classics – without breaking the bank. The project is extremely attractive for Porsche. Endurance racing is part of our brand’s DNA.” Michael Steiner, Board Member for Research and Development at Porsche AG. “In the medium term, Porsche focuses on three different drive concepts: fully electric vehicles, efficient plug-in hybrids and emotional combustion engines. We want to represent this trilogy in both the development of our cutting-edge road cars and in Public Relations Department 4 of 11 Frank Wiesmann Manager, Product Communications Phone +1.770.290.3414 [email protected] Motorsport News December 21, 2020 No. 91/20 motorsport. We use the all-electric drive to contest the FIA Formula E as part of our works commitment, and the highly efficient and emotional combustion unit in GT racing. Now, the LMDh class closes the gap for us. There, powerful hybrid drives – like the ones that are mounted in many of our brand’s models – go up against each other. If the regulations eventually allowed the use of synthetic fuels, then that would be an even greater incentive for me in terms of sustainability.” Fritz Enzinger, Vice President Motorsport. “I’d like to thank our board of directors for the immense confidence they have in the motorsport strategy we’ve developed. We hold a record with our 19 outright wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and we’ve climbed to the top podium step many times at major races in the USA. We can continue this tradition with an LMDh vehicle while at the same time keeping costs reasonable. There has been huge interest from other manufacturers. I hope we can pick up where we left off with the famous clashes against many other marques in the eighties and nineties. That would give the entire motor racing scene a huge boost.” Images available in the Media Gallery drop down under Motorsports at: www.Press.Porsche.Com The Wright Stuff. Wright Motorsports Reveals 2021 IMSA Program. Following a successful season in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Wright Motorsports will return to the professional sports car racing series in 2021 with an almost identical program. Led by John Wright, the operation will see full-season drivers Patrick Long (Manhattan Beach, California) and Ryan Hardwick (Atlanta, Georgia) return Public Relations Department 5 of 11 Frank Wiesmann Manager, Product Communications Phone +1.770.290.3414 [email protected] Motorsport News December 21, 2020 No. 91/20 to pilot the No. 16 Porsche 911 GT3 R. Jan Heylen (a Belgian living in Florida), will again stand in as the endurance addition while Klaus Bachler (Germany) will join the team for the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona in January. Consistency was indeed the name of the game for Wright Motorsports in 2020. The team finished just two points behind the class champions, with four podiums and eight top-five finishes. Their steady season-long progression culminated with victory at the Twelve Hours of Sebring, clinching the team’s first endurance win in its 20-year history. Although the victory itself was an impressive feat, it was not until after the race that the drivers revealed that the No.

    Press Information Meet the Heroes of Le Mans Mission 2014. Our Return. 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
