New special exhibition ‘75 Years of Porsche Sports Cars’
(Oilandgaspress) Ferry Porsche once dreamed of a car that didn’t yet exist. So together with his team he built it himself. With the Porsche 356 ‘No. 1’ Roadster began the success story of the brand and the Porsche legend. On 8 June 1948, the model received its general operating permit. The highlight of the anniversary celebrations for ‘Driven by Dreams. 75 Years of Porsche Sports Cars’ is the most extensive special exhibition ever in the Porsche Museum. ‘Driven by Dreams’ is a value that captures the history of the company while transporting it into the present and the future.
The people behind the brand will be the focus of the museum until 7 January 2024. People who, like Ferry Porsche, believed in their dreams, in achieving great things, and in implementing big ideas: Dreamers. The journey through the Porsche cosmos begins with the Porsche 356 ‘No. 1’ Roadster and its new media presentation. A dream belt connects the founder of the Porsche brand, Ferry Porsche, with his dream car, the Porsche 356 ‘No. 1’ Roadster. In the process, the model is presented within a special setting. On new walkways, guests on the exhibition level are immersed in stories about pioneering spirit, feats of engineering and courage.
While the Zuffenhausen site was growing in the 1950s, Porsche was thinking about exporting the 356 model to the US. In Max Hoffman the sports car manufacturer found the ideal partner for this project. Franz Xaver Reimspieß designed the crest that would become a timeless trademark. The first clubs were also founded in which enthusiasts could share their passion for Porsche sports cars. In the 1960s the iconic 911, which celebrates its 60th birthday this year, was the focus of everyone’s attention. Visitors not only encounter exciting facts about the 911 but can also witness the evolution of its design. Among the highlights of the special exhibition are a drawing of the 911’s predecessor, the 901, and the revelation of many insider names for the first prototypes.
