Historical backdrop for eleven legend- ary cars: Porsche is celebrating the ­fiftieth anniversary of the 917, one of the strongest three-digit combinations from Zuffenhausen. Plant 1’s brick build- ing provides the perfect stage to cho- reograph this serial winner. What is arguably the most famous race car of all time debuted at the Geneva Motor Show on March 12, 1969. Just one year later, Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood drove the 917 with its air-cooled twelve-cylinder mid-engine to a covet- ed overall victory for Porsche at the 24 Hours of Le Mans—the sports-car manufacturer’s greatest racing ­success at the time.

M U C A 7 S 02/2019 P AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN TRANSFORMATION BETWEEN HYPE AND REVOLUTION

Electric cars will bring fundamental changes to mobility in the future—and therefore also to car makers, in the form of new opportunities.

omewhere along the line, every innovation reaches a turning point. The triumphal march of cars with combustion engines took off in 1912 when Charles Kettering, a teacher from Ohio, installed an electric starter motor in place of the troublesome crank. That in- vention abruptly decided the head-to-head race between gasoline- and electricity-powered cars at the time. But precisely the system that was C S C once left behind is now making a comeback. More powerful than before, more A A M sophisticated than ever, for many people it represents the cleanest solution for M P the mobility needs of tomorrow. Suddenly everyone is charged up. Not only the P U established car makers are electrified. New players like computer manufactur- U S S ers and software giants are entering the field as well. But everyone is still wait- ing for the crucial breakthrough, the initial spark. The milestone that enables a major revolution to emerge from the hype and the dream.

Porsche has not spared the Taycan any challenge. The company’s first all-electric sports car has proved itself on snow and ice, defied desert sands, and mastered endurance trials under extreme conditions.

Taycan Turbo S: Electrical consumption (combined): 26.9 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions (combined): 0 g/km INTERVIEW “PORSCHE FEELS LIKE HOME”

When Neel Jani first started racing, the cars had combustion engines. He then won Le Mans in a hybrid vehicle. And now he will be entering the Formula E for Porsche. The career of this thirty-five-year-old professional race-car driver reflects the transformation currently underway in motorsports.
