The Turbo GT is the super sports car of the Cayenne series. Rico Loescher, Manager Complete Vehicle – Product Line Cayenne, shares an insight into the development of the fast SUV coupé and the special features of the different Cayenne generations.
Former Formula One driver and Porsche brand ambassador Mark Webber has spent much of his life on the race track. But on the road, Porsche's turbo models hold a special place in his heart.
The latest episode of the 9:11 Magazine celebrates the evolution of the 911 Turbo from the first generation through to today. Also: the new Cayenne Turbo GT and Mark Webber drives the 911 GT1 at Lake Como.
From the road to the race track: the 911 GT1 is one of the most sought-after sports cars in the world. If anyone can handle its power perfectly, it’s Mark Webber.
It’s all down to this line, a mere stroke on paper. And yet it marks a a new beginning. The coupé-like roofline of the Macan and the striking rear—with its shape so typical of Porsche—evoke the tight, unmistakable flyline of the 911. But this time, it’s not just a reminder of the Porsche icon. Rather, the shape, including the rear spoiler, is a groundbreaking innovation in the all-electric SUV segment. “The active aerodynamic elements all contribute significantly to the range,” says aerodynamics specialist Thomas Wiegand. “We have a rear spoiler that raises automatically, active cooling flaps at the front air intakes, and flexible covers on the underbody.” Located in the same building as the Style Porsche design department, the Weissach wind tunnel gives form and shape to the streamlining of the newly developed Macan. It’s the first Porsche based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) created in collaboration with Audi. This platform not only benefits from development synergies, but is also highly flexible, enabling Porsche to implement its own technical and brand-specific objectives. Full electrification of the popular model line is an important milestone on the path to ensuring that more than 80 percent of the new cars are fully electrified in 2030—depending on the demand of customers and the development of electromobility in the respective regions of the world.
