  • Porsche in Le Mans
    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.

  • 50 Years of the Porsche 911 the Sports Car Icon Celebrates a Special Birthday
    7 February 2013 50 Years of the Porsche 911 The sports car icon celebrates a special birthday The Porsche 911 is the world’s most successful sports car, with over 820,000 built since 1963 A wide variety of anniversary events will host celebrations in 2013 – including a dedicated exhibition at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart Follow HYPERLINK "http://www.origin.porsche.com" origin.porsche.com to keep up to date with news and events For five decades, the 911 has been the heart of the Porsche brand. Few other automobiles in the world can look back on such a long tradition and such continuity as the Porsche 911. It has been inspiring car enthusiasts the world over since its debut as the model 901 at the IAA International Automotive Show in September 1963. Today it is considered the quintessential sports car, the benchmark for all others. The 911 is also the central point of reference for all other Porsche series. From the Cayenne to the Panamera, every Porsche is the most sporting automobile in its category, and each one carries a piece of the 911 philosophy. Over 820,000 Porsche 911s have been built, making it the most successful sports car in the world. For each of its seven generations the engineers in Zuffenhausen and Weissach have reinvented it, time and time again demonstrating to the world the innovative power of the Porsche brand. Like no other vehicle, the 911 reconciles apparent contradictions such as sportiness and everyday practicality, tradition and innovation, exclusivity and social acceptance, design and functionality.

  • Seven Generations of the 911 Five Decades of Evolution
    newsroom Products May 11, 2017 Seven generations of the 911 Five decades of evolution. A review. 1963: The original 911 911 2,0 Coupé from 1965 As the successor to the Porsche 356, the 911 won the hearts of sports car enthusiasts from the outset. The prototype was first unveiled at the Frankfurt IAA Motor Show in 1963 as the 901, and was renamed the 911 for its market launch in 1964. Its air-cooled six-cylinder flat engine with two-litre displacement delivered 130 hp, giving it an impressive top speed of 210 km per hour. If you wanted to take things a little slower, you could also opt for the four-cylinder Porsche 912 from 1965. In 1966, Porsche presented the Page 1 of 6 160 hp 911 S, which was the first to feature forged alloy wheels from Fuchs. The 911 Targa, with its distinctive stainless steel roll-over bar, made its debut in late 1966 as the world’s first ever safety cabriolet. The semi-automatic Sportomatic four-speed transmission joined the line-up in 1967. And with the 911 T, and the later E and S variants, Porsche became the first German manufacturer to comply with strict US exhaust emission control regulations. The Porsche 911 became more and more powerful as displacement increased, initially to 2.2 litres (1969) and later to 2.4 (1971). The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 of 1972 with a 210 hp engine and weighing less than 1000 kg remains the epitome of a dream car to this day. Its characteristic “ducktail” was the world’s first rear spoiler on a production vehicle.

  • 1979 Porsche 924 Turbo Classic Rally Car PRICE £50,000
    1979 Porsche 924 Turbo Classic Rally Car PRICE £50,000 ABOUT THIS CAR Rally Preparation Services is delighted to offer an extremely rare opportunity to own this stunning Porsche 924 Turbo. Porsche originally introduced the 924 to its model line-up in dealer showrooms in 1976, Being the first ever front engine rear wheel drive car offered by the manufacturer. Having a transaxle gearbox at the rear giving a 48/52 weight distribution gave unprecedented balance and handling, easily outperforming its rivals in the market. This new project and build was a joint venture with Volkswagen, and it was a totally new approach, Porsche designed the car and VW built it but directly overseen by Porsche. The early 924’s were heavily criticized for their lack of outright power (around 110BHP – 120BHP depending on market) so Porsche re-energized the model in 1978 by installing a KKK Turbocharger giving 170BHP which instantly gave the car that much awaited power – well deserved praise followed for the engineers after finally finding some proper speed to match its excellent handling characteristics. This was the birth of the 924 Turbo. This car offers a particularly limited opportunity to purchase a very capable rally car that is not just striking to look at, but brilliant fun to drive and has a history that absolutely no other Porsche 924 Turbo can offer. The build was completed over a five-year period as a no cost restriction exercise and as a replica of an original works prepared car. When finished this Porsche 924 Turbo was shown at a Porsche Concours show in Switzerland, one of the panel of judges on the day was none other than former Porsche engineer and race and rally driver Jürgen Barth.
