Porsche celebrates 60 years at the 2008 Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 11 – 13) with a high speed demonstration of the latest generation of the iconic 911 sports coupe, which stars alongside a charismatic collection of cars spanning the company’s illustrious heritage.
Acclaimed as one of the best sports cars in the world, Porsche has developed the unique rear-engined concept of the 911 continually over its 45 year evolution so that it remains relevant in changing times. Now, by introducing a wide range of new and truly comprehensive technologies, Porsche has built on the outstanding reputation of the 911 to further optimise the car to today’s driving environment. All-new flat six engines of 3.6 and 3.8-litres capacity featuring Direct Fuel Injection (DFI), and the option of the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) double-clutch transmission, are particular highlights marking a quantum leap in the car’s development.
The 911 Carrera will be participating in the ‘Sunday Times’ Supercar Run up the hillclimb course, a high-octane display of horsepower that celebrates the ultimate in performance road car engineering. The 530bhp Porsche 911 GT2 – the fastest, most powerful road-going 911 currently on sale - will also star at the Sussex venue.
Uniquely, visitors to Goodwood will once again be invited to experience Porsche power first hand, with high-speed rides on offer in the Porsche Cayenne around a specially-designed circuit located next to the famous speed hillclimb course.
The driver-oriented chassis of the Porsche Cayenne has been designed to combine sports car handling on the road with the added versatility of extreme agility off-road. The grass-surfaced course, around which the 385bhp V8-engined Cayenne S models will power, is intended to demonstrate perfectly the outstanding dynamic ability of the four door Porsche.
