One thing is for sure: it has taken Cool under pressure. a decisive step forward in every aspect, whether it’s styling, networking, sports performance or comfort. That’s what actor, race driver and racing team co-owner Patrick Dempsey noticed when we visited him at his home office in Venice Beach with the new Panamera. He, too, is a personality who is known for making courageous decisions. One of the major themes in the development of the new Panamera – and also every other Porsche – is the engines. The Porsche philosophy has always been about increasing performance, not through greater displacement alone – but also through innovative ideas. A prominent example is one of the first turbochargers in a production vehicle, the 4 3 >> Mission: Future Sportscar << A dramatic final with a pleasing result: our 18th overall win at Le Mans. They say that, at 17, you still have dreams. Dreams for which you have to fight and believe steadfastly in yourself. Our dream: to follow last year’s 17th overall win at Le Mans with number 18. A dream that came true and filled us with pride. A feeling that’s almost impossible to describe. But first things first. The duel between Porsche and Toyota at the 24-hour race started to intensify at midnight, but nobody expected this outcome. Until a few minutes before the end, Toyota looked like the sure winner. Then, tragically, the prototype came to a standstill. This meant that, one lap later, the Porsche 919 Hybrid with the number 2 driven by Romain Dumas, Neel Jani and Marc Lieb secured victory in front of 263,500 spectators. So, one of the most coveted trophies in the world of motorsport now goes back to Zuffenhausen for another year. 4 5 >> Mission: Future Sportscar << Just how surprising this title defence was in light of the race as a whole was summed up in a nutshell by the head of LMP1, Fritz Enzinger: “First of all, I would like to show my great respect to Toyota for its sensational performance in this race. It was a fantastic duel. Just before the end, we were prepared to settle for second place and then suddenly we were securing the second consecutive overall win at Le Mans as the Porsche Team. I would like to thank our great team in Weissach, the local team and all of the Porsche employees and fans who supported us here.” After a long stop for repairs and then playing catch-up, the second Porsche 919 Hybrid bearing number 1 – with the reigning world endurance champions Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley and Mark Webber taking turns at the helm – came fifth in its class, thereby gaining valuable points for the manufacturers’ rankings, while the winning trio of drivers increased their lead in the drivers’ rankings. We are incredibly proud of our team and bow down before Toyota and this tireless battle. But there’s one thing we know for sure: you can still have dreams at 18. 6 7 >> Mission: Future Sportscar << An interim result with highs and lows. The 18th overall victory at Le Mans was the culmination of a previously highly successful year in endurance racing for the Porsche 919 Hybrid prototypes. Although the result might appear flawless, the road that took us there definitely was not. It began back in Silverstone. After a thrilling six-hour race, the Porsche 919 Hybrid bearing number 2 finished in second place. However, thanks to a subsequent decision by the racing commission, it was then awarded first place. The second Porsche 919 Hybrid in the field unfortunately crashed out after around two hours. The innovative hybrid race car had already demonstrated its competitive ability here: with the fastest race lap (1,40.303 min), driven by Neel Jani. It was a similar picture in the second race: despite problems with the hybrid system, the Dumas-Jani-Lieb trio finished in second place, moving up the leadership table in the driver rankings. After two tyre failures, its sister car went into the pit for repairs and finally secured fifth position in the LMP1-H class. The fastest race lap went, once again, to the Porsche 919 Hybrid, driven this time by Brendon Hartley. After Le Mans, there’s now time to catch our breath, but we must not relax our efforts. After all, we also want to defend our title in the overall driver and team rankings. No easy undertaking with six races still to go and a competition that has clearly shown it is prepared to fight shoulder to shoulder. But that’s what drives us on and, at the end of the day, makes us better. Corner after corner, race after race. 8 9 >> The new Panamera << The new Panamera.

We decided to go Superb handling, for example. Whether you are in the driver’s seat or flat out – without losing sight of the car’s characteristic strengths. The result: travelling as a passenger in the front or rear: in a Porsche, driving should a Panamera that is more Porsche than ever. feel like sport rather than transport. Like comfort rather than wallowing. The chassis of the new Panamera models effortlessly bridges the gap between sports performance and comfort – to the greatest possible extent. 10 11 >> The new Panamera << Greater strength of character The car’s impressive athleticism can be reinforced with trademark racing features: Launch Control, rear-axle steering, sports exhaust system. The Panamera is not just like any other four-seater. It’s a sports car through and through, as at home on the high-speed circuit as it is in the city, and as closely acquainted with g-forces as it is with serene progress. In short: a text-book example of a Porsche.

  • 90Th Anniversary of the Targa Florio Victory: Bugatti Wins Fifth Consecutive Title
    90th anniversary of the Targa Florio victory: Bugatti wins fifth consecutive title MOLSHEIM 02 05 2019 FOR MANY YEARS BUGATTI DOMINATED THE MOST IMPORTANT CAR RACE OF THE 1920S Legends were born on this track. Targa Florio in Sicily was considered the world’s hardest, most prestigious and most dangerous long-distance race for many years. Today, current Bugatti models remind us of the drivers from back in the day. Sicilian entrepreneur Vincenzo Florio established his own race on family-owned roads in the Madonie region. Between 1906 and 1977, sports cars raced for the title at international races, some of which even had sports car world championship status. Winners at this race could proudly advertise their victory. For this reason, all important sports car manufacturers sent their vehicles to Sicily. Between 1925 and 1929 Bugatti dominated the race with the Type 35. In particular, in 1928 and 1929, one man showcased his skills at the wheel of his vehicle: Albert Divo. In these two years he was unbeatable in his Bugatti Type 35 C, winning the race in Sicily on 5 May 1929 after having also claimed the top spot in 1928. He also set a further record when he crossed the finish line: the “Fabrik Bugatti” team won the title five times in a row – this had never been done before in the history of the Targa Florio and remained an unbeaten record until the end of the last official races, to this day. A reason to look back. After all, the race was anything but easy: initially one lap of the “Piccolo circuito delle Madonie” was around 148 kilometres, from 1919 organisers cut the race lap distance to a still considerable 108 kilometres.

  • Targa Florio Winner in the Porsche 908
    Gerhard Mitter – Targa Florio winner in the Porsche 908 Gerhard Mitter was one of the greatest racing drivers Germany has ever produced. A Porsche works driver who took three European Hill Climb Championship titles, he suffered a fatal accident shortly before his planned move to Formula One. In the 1960s, the European Hill Climb Championship was one of the premier competitions in motor sport. The most successful driver of the era was Gerhard Mitter, who had been recruited to the Porsche works team to replace the late Edgar Barth. Mitter emulated Barth in taking three European Hill Climb Championship titles and even surpassed the achievements of his predecessor by winning them in consecutive years. In 1966, 1967 and 1968, he triumphed against rival entries from Ferrari, BMW and Abarth – and successfully fended off his ambitious teammate Rolf Stommelen in the latter two seasons. The cars that took him to these victories were primarily the Porsche 906 Carrera 6 and various versions of the Porsche 910. With his ability to focus all his energy and concentration on a period of a few short minutes, Mitter became one of the most dominant racers in the mountains. In 1969, Mitter was among the drivers who entered into Porsche legend by steering the company to its first ever title in the International Championship for Makes. He went on to record his greatest victory in the May of that year, taking first place at the Targa Florio – part of the World Sportscar Championship – with Udo Schütz in the Porsche 908. Within the large works team, Gerhard Mitter was the first point of contact for the engineering team around Peter Falk.
