Issue 07/2009

Dear Porsche Enthusiast,

Motorsports have always been an integral part of the Porsche DNA. More than 28,000 racing wins make this very clear. And Porsche continues to add to this long series of successes. Our most recent triumphs include a class victory in the 24 hours of Le Mans with the RS Spyder and the overall victory in the 24 hour Nürburgring race in Germany's Eifel region. Additionally you'll be able to explore the 911 SC Cabriolet from 1983 and the Porsche Design Motorsports Collection, which has the right outfit for every fan.

With this issue we also introduce the brand new "Tell a friend" feature. The simple click of a button will allow you to share the excitement of Porsche with the people closest to you.

Wishing you enjoyable reading,

Your Porsche team

Yet another success: Porsche is victorious in the LMP2 class in the 24 hours of Le Mans. There were two RS Spyders in the race again this year, driven by the Essex and Goh teams. The Essex team repeated its success of the previous year, taking first place again. Porsche has now recorded four victories in a row in the 24h Nürburgring race. The drivers of the Manthey Racing team’s 480 hp Porsche 911 GT3 RSR prevailed over the second-place Audi by a full lap. Overall, seven of the top ten finishers drove Porsche vehicles.

VarioCam Plus adjusts the intake camshafts and switches the valve lift of the intake valves. The result: optimal running quality, favorable fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions, all while delivering high power and torque values.

There can be no doubt about the driving performance offered by the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Excitement you would expect from a 911. The 911 Cabriolet models are also cabriolets in the traditional sense: with a fabric top. This reduces the weight, which is of obvious benefit to a sportscar. And it reduces fuel consumption.

See for yourself, on a test drive at the authorized Porsche Dealer nearest you.

Finally, another Porsche Cabriolet. A prototype, but with a turbo engine and all-wheel drive, was shown at the 1981 IAA in Frankfurt. Its public reception was overwhelmingly positive. And there was just as much enthusiasm when the Cabriolet with 911-SC technology went into production.
