A Hundred Thousand Cayennes From PCNA
Stuttgart/Leipzig, January 23, 2012. The 100,000th second generation Cayenne was assembled in Leipzig today. At the same time, this production anniversary is the curtain raiser for an eventful anniversary year at Porsche's Saxony site. "Ten years ago the success story of Porsche Leipzig startet. What was a greenfield site, today ranks among the most modern car plants in the world. In addition to the Cayenne, Leipzig is also where Porsche produces the very successful Panamera luxury saloon, approximately 70,000 units of which have now rolled off the production line. That is why more than 93,800 vehicles left the Porsche plant in Leipzig in 2011, more than in any year before", says Wolfgang Leimgruber, Member of the Executive Board of Production and Logistics of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG.

redesigned from the ground up. The newest incarnation applies singular balance to the priorities of a new era, preserving the classic 911 lines, yet revisiting every inch for advances in power and fuel economy. While still instantly recognizable as a Porsche 911 at a glance, 90 percent of the 2012 911's components are either new or fundamentally revised. Longer, lower, wider, 100 lbs. lighter, faster and more efficient than previous models, the 911 is the perfect blend of modern design, intelligent engineering and performance DNA.

2013 Porsche Boxster: Lighter, More Muscular, More Distinctive and More Fuel-Efficient
New "911 Identity" Exhibit Opens at the Porsche Museum ATLANTA – Jan. 31, 2012 – The Porsche Museum in Stuttgart today unveiled its new "911 Identity" Exhibit, a major "family" retrospective of all seven generations of the legendary Porsche 911, each showcased against the backdrop of its era. The exhibit will be open to the public until May 20, 2012.
ATLANTA, Jan. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Never before in the history of the Porsche Boxster has a change of generation been so comprehensive. The open-top two-seat car receives an entirely new lightweight body and a completely revamped chassis. The new Boxster weighs less than the previous generation and rides on a longer wheelbase and a wider track. These new dimensions are coupled with larger wheels and a new electromechanical power steering system to significantly enhance the mid-engine sports car's driving dynamics. The new Boxster boasts superior performance and is also up to 15 percent more fuel-efficient than previous models on the European cycle. To enhance driving dynamics yet further, Porsche offers the Sport Chrono Package as an optional extra for the Boxster, featuring dynamic transmission mounts for the first time. Also new in

INFO
The first 911 was unveiled in 1963, and since then more than 700,000 models have journeyed from the assembly line in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen to customers around the globe. With the launch of the all-new 2012 911 Carrera and Carrera S, both Porsche and its curator of historical milestones, the Porsche Museum, wanted to celebrate the automobile’s lineage and cultural significance. In addition to the seven generations of Porsche 911 production cars, rare race cars based on the 911 platform also join the exhibit. These include rarities such as the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 "Safari" and the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid. Adding to the automotive retrospective are documents from the Porsche archive that have never before been on public display. In celebration of the latest generation of the Porsche 911 and the new exhibit, the Porsche Museum is also expanding its guided tour offerings.
