A Quick History Of The Ever-Evolving Porsche 911
For five decades, the Porsche 911 has been the class benchmark in terms of performance and efficiency. With every generation, the Porsche 911 has raised the bar to a new level. The Porsche engineers from Zuffenhausen and Weissach reinvented the 911, demonstrating the innovative power of the Porsche brand. Although the 911 always led the way in terms of sportiness too, driving performance was never the developers’ sole focus.
One of the secrets to the success of the 911 series is its constant and systematic enhancement. Each year, many small details on the 911 have been improved, making it closer and closer to Ferry Porsche’s ideal image of the perfect sports car. In 2000, Porsche presented the 911 Turbo model line 996. The new brake in this model, known as the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake, was a significant technological advancement that set new standards, in particular in terms of decisive criteria, such as responsiveness, fading stability, weight and service life. Porsche was the first car manufacturer in the world to develop a ceramic composite brake disc with an involute cooling channel for efficient interior cooling.
In the 991 series of the 911, which was introduced in 2011, Porsche further perfected the lightweight design for sports cars. This achieved a number of goals; improving vehicle dynamics while reducing fuel consumption, as well as enhancing safety and raising levels of comfort in comparison with earlier vehicles. The engineers chose a concept that puts the right material in the right place, using the right construction method. The focus placed on 911 innovation is unparalleled. Can you imagine what today’s 911 can do?

Once again, the unthinkable has been accomplished by Porsche. The Cayenne, driven by Porsche GB technician Richard Payne, towed the aircraft over a distance of 42-metres at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, to set a new Guinness World Records title for ‘Heaviest Aircraft Pull by a Production Car,’ by a margin of 115-tonnes.
Richard Payne, a technician at Porsche GB said, “It did it – I’m so relieved! We don’t usually go this far to test the limits of our cars but I think today we got pretty close. I could tell that it was working hard but the Cayenne didn’t complain and just got on with it. My mirrors were quite full of Airbus, which was interesting. Our cars can go a bit beyond what our customers might expect they’re designed to be tough. But even so, what the Cayenne did today was remarkable we drove the car here from London and I plan to drive it home again, having towed an A380 in between. Credit should go to the team in Stuttgart who developed the car they did a thorough job. I’m also very grateful to Air France and its engineers for their generosity in allowing me to tow their beautiful aircraft.”
The 60,000-square-meter hangar was designed specifically to house the Air France Airbus A380 and is usually home to all the engineering and maintenance activity for the Air France fleet. The contrast between the two machines was striking. The Porsche Cayenne was connected to the most sophisticated and largest passenger aircraft in the world, the Airbus A380 via a special towing attachment that sat on the Cayenne’s standard tow bar. The job given was completed successfully, and the Porsche Cayenne made its mark in the book of Guinness World Records.

Training is the most important stage of a firefighter’s education and recruitment. Because of this, Porsche wanted to provide a real car for the trainees to use for practice, so they donated a Porsche Panamera to the emergency services of Nuremberg.
The latest training session was focused on the technical procedure for rescuing people from new vehicles. This involves freeing people from an automobile wreckage using tools like large shears and spreaders. “This makes it easier for the rescue team to help people quickly and safely at the scene”, says Alexander Grenz, from the department and Technical Service of Nuremberg. The generous donation gives firefighters the knowledge of working with some of the world’s most advanced vehicles. Porsche’s commitment to community outreach is unparalleled!
