  • Living Heritage SELECT No
    No. 2 | 2020 SELECT Porsche Magazine WSL07701005325 EN/UK Living Heritage Some things are so fascinating that they still inspire after decades. Living Heritage SELECT No. 2 | 2020 Porsche Magazine Living 2 | 2020 No. Heritage SELECT Editorial Zeitgeist reloaded Loving the past does not necessarily mean looking backwards. On the contrary – it can show you the way to the future. That is instantly visible in a Porsche. Its design is past and future combined. There are similar principles in the world of fashion – think about trends: it is said that they come and go. But they also return. And when they do, they bring a piece of coolness from back then into our present. Therefore, this SELECT edition lends a new look to the past Zeitgeist. The Porsche 917 gives the starting signal – a vehicle that not only made racing history but also left a lasting impression through its extraordinary motorsport designs. Such as the Salzburg design which inspired our 917 Salzburg Collection: an outfit for winners. Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood, who sat in the cockpit at the legendary Le Mans victory in 1970, tell us what else is needed to win. Then we take a look at the 917 ‘Living Legend’; a design study created a few years ago. In the countdown to the Porsche Top 5 YouTube series, you can marvel at the most famous motorsport liveries on the 917. The 911 Targa 4S also breathes the air of the past. Already a design icon in itself, the Heritage Design Edition now brings the Zeitgeist of the 1950s and early 60s to the road.
