Sections comprise, ‘Elements of Style; Zuffenhausen and Beyond’; ‘Extended Families’; ‘Innovation through Competition’; and ‘Word / Image / Object.’From 1948 to 2018, Porsche has come a long way, embarking upon an exciting and thrilling journey through the major milestones of Porsche’s history. From the Porsche Typ 356 “No 1” Roadster, through the legendary 911, to the latest Porsche models, the exhibition explores more about the company.According to the Porsche website, for 70 years, everything at Porsche has revolved around Fascination Sports Car. The year 1948 saw the birth of the Porsche brand in Gmund (Austria), with construction number 356 and chassis number 356-001: Porsche type 356 ‘No. 1’ Roadster. In 1950, the then Porsche KG returned to Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen and commenced series production of the Porsche 356.In 1951, Porsche first attracted international attention with a class victory by its further enhanced 356 SL at the 24h of Le Mans. From 1953 onwards, Porsche began to use a mid-engine roadster designed for motorsport, which was to have a long tradition of spectacular success: the 550 Spyder. In 1956, eight years after the Porsche Typ 356 ‘No. 1 Roadster,’ the 10,000th Porsche 356 was produced. In 1968, Porsche achieved its first overall victory at the 24 Hours of Daytona with the Type 908 LH. In 1969, the mid-engine VW-Porsche 914 sports car made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show and subsequently entered production.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at some iconic Porsche cars. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
