A look at the 70-year history of the Porsche brand in Australia.
It’s a big year for Porsche - the first vehicle to bear the Porsche name was registered on June 8 1948: it was the 356 "No 1" roadster. The history of the brand begins in 1948. Yet the foundation of the sports car manufacturer is built on the life’s work of Prof Ferdinand Porsche - work which his son Ferry continued.Ferdinand Porsche had already designed pioneering innovations for the automotive industry as early as the start of the previous century. In 1900, he built an electric car with a wheel-hub drive, the Lohner-Porsche, on which he would base the world’s first all-wheel drive passenger car.The future of Porsche sports cars is coming up to the starting line in the form of the Mission E, the first purely electrically driven technology champion from Zuffenhausen. The four-door model with four individual seats delivers a claimed more than 440kW and a range of more than 500km, acceleration from 0-100km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and a charging time of 15 minutes for 80% of the electrical energy required.The company is celebrating 2018’s anniversary with numerous activities including exhibitions in Germany and the US.

13 four-wheeled music artists from the Porsche Museum bring unfamiliar sound to the Porsche Arena, piloted by former and current racers and numerous PS celebrities. Former race engineers and contemporary witnesses remember the racing successes and set off a firework of automotive emotions.

On the occasion of "70 Years of Porsche Sports Cars", the Sound Night took place this year in the Stuttgart Porsche Arena. "The Porsche Arena is exactly the right setting for the 70th anniversary of our sports cars," stresses Le Mans winner Marc Lieb.
