Porsche works driver Neel Jani turns the 919 Hybrid Evo into a record breaker at Spa on the 9th of April, 2018.On April 9, 2018, Porsche works driver Neel Jani climbed into the Evo version of the Le Mans-winning 919 Hybrid. The 34-year-old Swiss driver is competing to drive faster than anyone else. The Grand Prix circuit in the Belgian Ardennes is 7.004 kilometers long. Up until now, Britain's Lewis Hamilton holds the record, won in a Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid. His lap, on August 26, 2017, lasted exactly 1:42.553 minutes. The Porsche engineers were not limited by racing regulations for their protégé's ride, they were literally able to give their abilities free rein, without braking. In addition to software changes and improvements in aerodynamics and technology, they were able to save 39 kilos compared to the racing version. With a system output of 720 hp, the Evo now weighed in at just 849 kilos. Neel Jani drives the course at Spa Franchorchamps in 1:41.770 minutes, undercutting Hamilton's lap record by 0,783 seconds!
With the world premiere of the Cayenne Coupé, Porsche is extending the third generation of its successful SUV range. An interview with Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG. Entry into a new vehicle segment: with the world premiere of the Cayenne Coupé, Porsche is extending the third generation of its successful SUV range. The vehicle impresses with its particularly dynamic contours and new technical details, which give it a very athletic appearance.The highlights of the new Cayenne model include sharper contours with a totally unique rear end, an adaptive rear spoiler, a rear bench with the characteristics of two individual seats, and two roof concepts: a panoramic, fixed glass roof fitted as standard, and an optional carbon roof. The significantly steeper roof line falling to the rear makes this vehicle appear even more dynamic and visually positions it as the sportiest-looking model in the segment. The Cayenne Coupé will be available with two different engine variants at its market launch: a six-cylinder, turbocharged engine with 250 kW (340 PS; Combined fuel consumption 9.4 – 9.3 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions 215 – 212 g/km), making a standard sprint from 0-100 km/h in 6.0 seconds possible as well as a four-litre V8 engine with twin turbocharging in the top-of-the-range Cayenne Turbo Coupé model, 404 kW (550 PS; Combined fuel consumption 11.4 – 11.3 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions 261 – 258 g/km) and accelerating from a standing start to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.

There will be no staged scenes, models or specially selected staff brought to the fore in Porsche’s new employer branding campaign: reportage-style clips and black-and-white images will highlight the human side of Porsche as an employer brand. Porsche remains as attractive as ever: the company receives 150,000 applications every year and regularly tops employer ranking lists. At Porsche, there is a particular focus on colleagues feeling a sense of togetherness and cooperation. And to make it clear that the company truly lives these values, and is not merely paying them lip service, Porsche is launching a new campaign. The campaign will highlight the sports car manufacturer as an authentic employer, and seeks to give an insight – particularly for students and young professionals – into everyday life in Zuffenhausen: unembellished and down to earth.There will be no staged scenes, models or specially selected staff brought to the fore here: instead, reportage-style clips and black-and-white images will highlight the human side of Porsche as an employer brand. The engaging photos even take an ironically humorous angle at times, for example in one photo where only an employee’s feet can be seen poking out from underneath a 911, with the message: “You don’t have to stand in the spotlight to help an icon shine.” Elsewhere the campaign declares: “Have a weakness for fast cars? You’d better work on it.” In another clear piece of messaging, the text reads: “You can’t build tomorrow’s cars with yesterday’s leadership methods.”

The turbocharged three-litre flat-six in the new 911 GTS delivers 353 kW (480 PS). Maximum torque is 570 Nm, an increase of 20 Nm over its predecessor. Zero to 100 km/h takes just 3.3 seconds in the 911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupé with the eight-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK): three tenths faster than its predecessor. A seven-speed manual transmission with a particularly short throw is available for all 911 GTS models as an alternative to the PDK.The Ferrari Roma Spider, the latest model from the Maranello marque, was presented to clients at an exclusive event at the El Badi Palace in Marrakesh. This timelessly elegant, high-performance car is a contemporary take on the chic, pleasure-seeking Italian lifestyle of the 1950s and 60s. This spider carries over the proportions, volumes and specifications of the Ferrari Roma’s hugely successful V8 2+ concept, but what makes it so striking is the adoption of a soft top, a solution making a welcome return to the Prancing Horse range on a front-engined car 54 years after the 1969 365 GTS4.
