Powerful Sound at the Touch of a Button
New Sports Exhaust System for the Porsche 911 Carrera and Targa 4

The engineers of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, have developed a new sports exhaust system for the latest generation of the 911, available as an option on new models as of February 2009. This special exhaust gives the customer the opportunity to adjust the 911 to his individual, personal preferences also in the car's particular sound: At the touch of a button the exhaust system switches over to a sporting and emotional sound generated in particular whenever the driver prefers a truly dynamic style of motoring. The new sports exhaust system is made of modified stainless-steel main silencers and stands out clearly through its two dual tailpipes in unique design. The heart of the system is the exhaust flap on each main silencer activated by the engine's electronic control system and switching over to a more sporting sound as soon as the driver activates the sound mode. The system itself is activated by a separate button in the centre console varying the sound of the exhaust as a function of engine load, road speed and engine speed. The Euro base price of the sports exhaust system is 1,610 Euro excluding taxes. In the US the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is 2,500 US$. Starting in April 2009, Porsche will also be offering a Tequipment version for retrofitting. GO

Speakers praise the special significance of the spectacular building
Celebrations at the Opening of new Porsche-Museum
( January 2009 )

Stuttgart.
This Wednesday at the headquarters of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG in
Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen the new Porsche-Museum was officially declared
open. On the occasion of the ceremonial act in the spectacular new
building on the Porscheplatz Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking, Chairman of the
Board of Porsche AG, welcomed State Parliament President Peter Straub,
the Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg Günther
Oettinger, Interior Minister Heribert Rech, the Lord Mayor of Stuttgart
Dr. Wolfgang Schuster, members of the Porsche and Piëch
families as well as a further 200 invited guests. On Saturday 31st
January the museum will for the first time be opened to the public. In
his speech Wiedeking emphasized the particular significance of the
Porsche- Museum on the site of the headquarters of the Company: "This
is our new business card on the Porscheplatz. At this meeting point, we
welcome our international customers as well as numerous people from all
over the world who themselves may not drive a Porsche but are
nonetheless fascinated by our sportscars. While the bold architecture
of the building reflects the individuality, self-confidence, and
orientation towards the future of Porsche itself, the exhibition with
the turn-key sportscars from the Museum on Wheels, which are always
ready to spring into action, breathes plenty of life into the Company's
history." The head of the Board also announced: "We will not only use
the museum as an exhibition, but also as a communication platform - as
a permanent, integral part of the ongoing dialogue which Porsche
conducts with the public." On its 5,600 square meters of exhibition
space, the modern building provides space for approximately 80 historic
vehicles and more than 200 carefully arranged small exhibits from the
Company's history. Spacious conference areas are available for events,
including access to an impressive roof terrace. The exclusive
restaurant "Christophorus" integrated into the exhibition, adds to the
assortment of haute cuisine in Stuttgart. Furthermore, the museum
bundles the entire historical spectrum of the sportscar manufacturer
with its Historical Archive in one central location. And the experts in
the glazed museum workshop will ensure that the exhibition vehicles not
to mention the historic vehicles of customers are kept in impeccable
condition.
Dr. Wolfgang Porsche, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG,
emphasized the task of the sportscar manufacturer: to remember the
founding personalities of the Company and to keep the spirit of their
work alive: "My grandfather and my father were passionate automobile
pioneers, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Their life's work and
everything that their successors successfully made of this and further
developed from it, is documented here", said Porsche. With the opening
of the new museum, the Stuttgart Company has fulfilled its obligation
of preserving the dream of sports driving and to pass it on to future
generations. For Uwe Hück, Chairman of the Company Works
Council of Porsche AG, the new building not only represents part of its
identity, but also the motivation and commitment for all its employees:
"This museum should become a part of Porsche culture - a culture of
esteem amongst employees, a culture of humanity, a culture of employer
and employee alike working together as well as a culture of honest and
open contact with one anotherr", said the Head of the Works Council.
Prime Minister Oettinger particularly praised the special charismatic
radiance of the Porsche-Museum which would shine far beyond regional
boundaries: "The history of Baden-Württemberg as the cradle of
automotive engineering is closely entwined with the biography of the
designer Ferdinand Porsche. All of the things which had their origin in
his fountain of creativity, and which were continued by his son Ferry,
are shown in this unique collection of sportscars which can be
displayed to the public in its full extent for the first time. This
exhibition is a reflection of the Swabian art of engineering that has
given the region a worldwide reputation." After a walk through the new
building on the Porscheplatz Lord Mayor Dr. Schuster's verdict was:
"This is a big hit for Zuffenhausen. The state capital has gained, in
the form of the new Porsche-Museum, an additional, magical magnet for
automobile fans from all over the world. At the same time the region
can also add another attractive address for a wide variety of events.
In this way Stuttgart becomes a metropolis of the automobile - and one
that everyone can enjoy." The museum, designed entirely in white with
its exhibition area resting on only three single supports that as a
result, appears to be hovering, was regarded as a sensation in
professional circles during its three-year construction period due to
its bold architecture. Roman Delugan from the Viennese Architects'
Practice Delugan Meissl Associated Architects, whose design won the
competition in January 2005, was determined from the very start to put
the museum's visitor at the very centre of things: "Architecture should
not just be seen as another building, but should have an effect on the
mind and body of human beings. This museum should make the Porsche
cosmos a palpable reality for each person." The exhibition concept of
the Stuttgart museum designer Professor HG Merz deliberately dispenses
with the idea of a staged theme world with show effects and instead
lets the sportscars speak for themselves. "Exhibits of this quality
need no elaborate packaging", stresses Professor Merz. "In Zuffenhausen
they stand like sculptures in a white gallery. Against these reduced
surroundings, the visitor can be alone with the vehicles and with his
or her own personal feelings."
Porsche is expecting at least 200,000 visitors per year. Even in the
previous museum on the works site, which could barely accommodate 20
exhibits, 80,000 guests a year would turn up. Altogether the historic
collection of Porsche AG encompasses a fleet of 400 racing and
sportscars. Since almost all exhibition vehicles still take part in
historic racing events, the rare items on show in the "Museum on
Wheels" are constantly being changed. Apart from anything else, this
make repeated visits all the more fascinating for regular guests.
The new Porsche-Museum is open daily as from the 31st January, except
on Mondays, from 9 to 6 p.m.. Adults pay 8 euros admission (discount:
four Euros). Children up to the age of 14 get free admission when
accompanied by an adult.
