Porsche Clubs Are Celebrating Their 70th Anniversary With...

It’s obvious that Porsche’s history goes back a long time, but the love for Porsche runs nearly just as deep. Throughout 86 countries worldwide, nearly a quarter of a million people participate in 700 Porsche Clubs, and the history of Porsche Clubs goes back 70 years. The very first Porsche Club was established on May 26, 1952, two short years after the first Porsche was delivered in Germany. Originally called Westfälischer Porsche Club Hohensyburg, the club is now known as the Porsche Club Westfalen. Outside of Germany, the first international Porsche Club came about in 1953, and the world’s largest Porsche Club, the Porsche Club of America, was established in 1955. MUST READ: The 5 Porsche Concept Cars You Never Heard About As independent and mainly voluntary organizations, Porsche Clubs are forged purely out of a shared love for Porsche among people, and together, all kinds of different events, drives, shows, and other functions happen all over the world. As the first Porsche Club’s founding involved Ferry Porsche and racing director Fritz Huschke von Hanstein, the Porsche friendship that brings clubs together runs all the way to the Porsche family itself, with Dr. Wolfgang Porsche attending events to this day. Whether it’s a classic or modern Porsche, a sedan, sports car, SUV, or even an electric Porsche, 70 years passing has only made the worldwide love for the Porsche brand even stronger. To celebrate this anniversary, Porsche is bringing about a series of communications and events under an “Enduring Passion” banner, celebrating and supporting Porsche Clubs and their events all over the world.

The 5 Porsche Concept Cars You Never Heard About

While the 911 dominates Porsche's brand, there are some special projects that were never revealed. While Porsche prides itself on creating models that defy the laws of design and performance, the brand continues its innovation behind closed doors until the right time comes for an official unveiling. Throughout its years as an industry leader and fan favorite, Porsche has shown the automotive world some of the most influential models that help shape the sports car market into what it is today. Sadly, many Porsche concept vehicles have yet to see the light of day because of various reasons and explanations. Porsche is proud to highlight some of its never-before-seen concepts alongside the announcement of its new Vision GT concept. Porsche Mission R Porsche Racing is still the beating heart of Porsche. And with the Mission R concept, unveiled in 2021, the company presented its vision for customer racing in the future. It’s a fully electric Porsche racecar made from innovative materials, and with the sort of eye-popping levels of acceleration and power that you would expect from the people who brought you the award-winning Taycan all-electric sportscar. Porsche 984 Concept Porsche Between 1984 and 1987, the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach, Germany, was busy working on a top-secret prototype called the Porsche 984. Conceived as a lightweight, aerodynamic roadster, it was designed to provide an affordable entry-point into the Porsche range. Porsche engineers wanted the 984 to major on fun, so the weight was kept low and the engine power modest. It also featured a folding hard-top roof, quite the innovation at that time. Unfortunately, the project was shelved because of the plummeting US dollar in 1987. Porsche Le Mans Living Legend Porsche The 550 Spyder is one the most iconic cars ever produced by Porsche, but the first sports car out of Zuffenhausen to be designed for racing was in fact a hard-topped version, the 550 Coupé. And it’s the car that provided the inspiration for the extraordinary looking Le Mans Living Legend. The Renndienst Porsche Styled on the VW racing service van (‘renn’ is a shortened form of the German word ‘rennen’, or racing, while ‘dienst’ means service) that was used by the factory racing team, this futuristic minivan has room for six people and features a modular travel cabin. Importantly, this being a Porsche, the Renndienst is more than just a practical bus. Combining sportiness with comfort, the driver sits in a central lounge chair, which gives the passengers a greater view of the road ahead and takes up less cabin space than a conventional row of seats. The 2018 Renndienst also features all-electric drive and autonomous capability and hints at an exciting future for the sports car brand. Porsche Panamericana Porsche The Panamericana is a fabled Mexican roadrace, deemed by many as the toughest of them all in its 1950s heyday, whose name would later famously act as inspiration for the naming of the Porsche Panamera Sports Saloon and Sport Turismo. The Porsche Panamericana, however, was a roadster concept study that would turn out to be one of the best birthday presents that Ferry Porsche ever received.

The New Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 ePerformance Shows What El...

The automotive world’s electric revolution is hitting the track. The Porsche Mission R’s vision of an electric future for racing is becoming real at a pace that’s lightning fast. To begin with, the Mission R wasn’t terribly far-fetched. It made use of the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport’s chassis, and to test the real-world performance capabilities of the Mission R, Porsche has given the 718 Cayman GT4 ePerformance the responsibility of serving as a test vehicle for the Mission R’s technology. MUST READ: Makes & Movements: Porsche Design 911 Sport Classic Chronograph x 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic What the 718 Cayman GT4 ePerformance has already proven is that the idea of the Mission R can be executed at the same level of performance as the current 992 generation 911 GT3 Cup. With all-wheel drive and a maximum power output of up to over 1,073 horsepower, the 718 Cayman GT4 ePerformance is incredible by any standard for a race car, let alone an electric one. However, that’s just the beginning of the amazing technology in the ePerformance GT4. Even in an electric car, the kind of power the ePerformance GT4 is producing comes with serious heat. Direct oil cooling for the motors and battery helps the “racing mode” power output last half an hour, the duration of a Carrera Cup race. Along with this, 900-volt technology gives the ePerformance GT4 the ability to charge from 5 to 80 percent battery in just 15 minutes. The shocking change in the racing world is no longer hypothetical. View All Electric Cars For Sale Source: Porsche

Engineering Explained Breaks Down Why Porsche's Variable ...

Turbochargers have their disadvantages, but Porsche has a unique way of solving them. The way that turbochargers work, using the engine to spin a turbine which encourages more air into the engine to create a cycle of boost, takes quite a bit of time to get started. When it comes to responsiveness, a turbocharger is generally slower than a naturally aspirated engine or one with a supercharger. Traditionally, effective turbocharging requires compromise: a larger turbo helps at higher engine speeds, while a smaller turbo does a better job at lower speeds.  However, Porsche, since the 997 generation of the 911, has used the technology of a variable turbine geometry turbo, which uses vanes on the turbine to act as though the size of the turbocharger was changing depending on the engine speed. Jason Fenske from the Engineering Explained YouTube channel explains how the Variable Geometry Turbo in the Porsche 911 works and why it’s an ingenious solution to turbocharging’s problem. MUST READ: Porsche Expands Its Porsche Studios Retail Space Worldwide This technology was introduced to the automotive world in diesel cars in 1997, and the reason it took nearly a decade for the technology to be introduced in a gasoline car for the first time (in the 997 Porsche 911 Turbo in 2006) is that exhaust temperatures in a gasoline engine is much higher than in a diesel. The small parts involved in these systems are difficult to maintain surrounded by such high temperatures, so the engineering and materials involved are very specific and difficult to execute to make a reliable variable geometry turbocharger for a gasoline engine. The current generation of the Porsche 911 Turbo S, the 992, thanks to this technology, makes up to 640 horsepower and 590 lb/ft of torque. The greatest bonus of the Variable Geometry Turbo is the fact that at peak power, you still have an estimated 500 lb/ft of torque. The 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S also has a symmetrical design to the turbochargers, meaning the flow is cleaner and more efficient than in the 991 generation, where the air didn’t flow quite as neatly. It’s no secret that the Porsche 911 Turbo S is an incredible machine, but learning how it’s able to achieve its incredible performance makes it even more special.
