All Solutions from One Single Source CENTER OF COMPETENCE | HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND LIGHTWEIGHT SOLUTIONS ALL SOLUTIONS FROM ONE SINGLE SOURCE A Member of the Eberspächer Group 2 | CENTER OF COMPETENCE CENTER OF COMPETENCE | 3 PERFECT DIVERSITY For 25 years we have been developing innovative solutions with and for our partners. As members of the Eberspächer Group, we can now add other areas of expertise to supplement the experience we have gained in development, prototype production, special series production and motorsport, and we can pass this all on to our customers. To put it into a short context, we offer a comprehensive range of exhaust technology competence. CENTER OF COMPETENCE: MOTORSPORT: As a centre of competence for high performance applications and light- Motor racing activities include the 24 hour race in Le Mans and the FIA weight systems, Prototechnik’s main focus is on the areas of develop- European Truck Racing Championship, the DTM and the WTCC, but also ment, prototype production and special series production for intake and a wide variety of other formula series. International teams depend on exhaust systems. Working with the Eberspächer Group, Prototechnik the innovative solutions from Schwäbisch Gmünd. Thin-wall technology, creates tailored solutions from concept design and simulation, to light weight and special materials are extremely important factors acoustics and performance optimisation, to prototype production, to which are increasingly being integrated into series production vehicles. functionality and endurance tests, to special series production and finally up to spare parts supply. The business unit also specialises in the production of coolant, oil, fuel and ventilation lines, EGR cooling systems as well as other vehicle compo- nents made of pipes and sheet metal. Using and processing special mate- rials such as Inconel, aluminium and titanium is a part of our daily work at Prototechnik. It allows us to meet the increasing demands in the various high performance segments as well as the necessity for more and more weight reductions. This knowledge is reflected in a number of successful development, prototyping, special series and motorsport production pro- jects over more than 25 years of the company’s history. LIGHT WEIGHT: In comparison to conventional stainless steel, titanium facilitates weight reduction of more than 40 percent. Every ounce of weight saved serves to reduce CO2 emissions and makes the vehicles more environmentally friendly. In particular, the company’s special expertise in the use of new materials makes it possible to develop innovative exhaust technology products for series production pas- senger cars as well as commercial vehicles. 4 | CENTER OF COMPETENCE A GOOD SETUP “All competences from one single source.” This philosophy has been affirmed and developed on the basis of numerous projects. We are always willing to tackle new, exciting and difficult tasks – complex special series, manual operations combined with partially automated production processes.

  • Press Release March 6, 2017
    Press Release March 6, 2017 Special exhibition at the Porsche Museum Porsche celebrates motorsport icon Walter Röhrl Stuttgart. “Genius on wheels” is the name of an exhibition at the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen that honours rally racing legend Walter Röhrl on his 70th birthday. From March 14 to May 14, 2017, the Museum is displaying numerous vehicles driven by the World Rally Championship winner as he established and cemented his reputation as the best and most versatile racer of his time in the world. The exhibition focuses on his many years of collaboration with Porsche. Röhrl has been a brand ambassador and test driver for the Stuttgart sportscar manufacturer since 1993. A bend on the Porsche test track at the Development Centre in Weissach will soon bear his name. To kick off the special exhibition, Röhrl and his long-standing co-driver Christian Geistdörfer will appear at an autograph session from 11 am on March 14. Born on March 7, 1947 in Regensburg, Röhrl has had a strong bond with his favourite brand Porsche for his entire life. The first car he owned was a Porsche 356 B Coupé with 75 hp. He bought the car without an engine, saving every penny he could. Even as a factory driver with Ford, Opel, Fiat, Lancia and Audi, Röhrl cultivated his relation- ship with Porsche, including through rally drives in his own 911. Porsche secured the services of Röhrl – already a two-time World Endurance Championship winner – as a factory driver in 1981. Röhrl initially started in the German Rally Championship and drove a 911 at Rallye San Remo in the World Rally Championship.

    Steve Janisse Gary Fong Manager, Media Relations Product Communications Manager Porsche Cars North America Porsche Cars North America 770-290-3419 770-290-3649 [email protected] [email protected] Porsche Provides a Glimpse into the Future -- Hybrid Sporting Performance Porsche Intelligent Performance unveiled in three unique hybrid renditions NEW YORK – March 31, 2010 – Porsche surprised car enthusiasts and automotive journalists around the world recently by unveiling not one but three new hybrids – one for the road, one for the race track, and one that is a genuine Porsche supercar – and clearly showed the path to Porsche’s performance future. These innovative new Porsches – the Cayenne S Hybrid, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 918 Spyder – were developed according to the Porsche Intelligent Performance philosophy -- more power on less fuel, increased efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. With three different designs, hybrid pioneer Porsche is emphasizing the broad range of this new drive technology. The Cayenne S Hybrid features a parallel full hybrid system, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car has electric front-wheel drive and a flywheel mass battery, and the 918 Spyder has a plug-in hybrid system that enables the battery to be charged from the regular electrical network. The 2011 Cayenne S Hybrid, based on the all-new Cayenne model line that makes its North American debut at the 2010 New York Auto Show, is Porsche’s first production hybrid. Featuring a highly sophisticated parallel full hybrid system, it has a combined power output of 380 horsepower from the supercharged V6 combustion engine and an electric motor, the Cayenne S Hybrid combines the performance of a V8 with the economy of a V6.

    Carrera GT – representative technology for the new millennium Experts often like to refer to the Porsche Carrera GT as a super lightweight car. For Porsche, it is a leader in technology that first and foremost adds a new dimension to the concept of lightweight construction. 1,270 Porsche Carrera GT cars – with this sales result at the end of its production in mid-2007, the Carrera GT became the most successful supercar of all time. But the Carrera GT is more than a high- performance sports car. At Porsche in Zuffenhausen, it stands for representative technology at the start of the millennium – on a par with the 959, which astounded the automotive industry in 1983. The performance figures alone of the Carrera GT were enough to impress the trade audience when the study of the supercar was first unveiled at Louvre in Paris on 28 September, 2000. The naturally aspirated V10 engine produces 450 kW (612 hp) at 8,000 rpm. The maximum torque is 590 Nm at 5,750 rpm. It can sprint from zero to a hundred in just 3.9 seconds and takes just 9.9 seconds to reach a speed of two hundred kilometres per hour. The forward thrust only comes to an end at 330 km/h. Talking about the Carrera GT, former CEO Dr Wendelin Wiedeking says, ‘Once again, we wanted to show what Porsche is capable of – everything.’ More than anything else, this included global innovations: The monocoque design of the chassis and subframe featured lightweight carbon fibre- reinforced plastic. A ceramic clutch with a diameter of only 169 millimetres was employed for the first time in a car.
