Design History at the Porsche Museum

50 Years of Porsche Design – the anniversary is at the heart of the special exhibition of the same name at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. Until July 10, 2022, visitors can explore the history of the company founded by Prof. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. And Porsche is commemorating the special occasion with two exclusive vehicles: a special edition of the Porsche 911 limited to 750 cars worldwide and a restored 911 S 2.4 Targa from 1972. Available in the shop at porsche-design.com, the book titled Porsche Design: It’s about time documents the studio’s success story with spectacular images, and features commentary in both German and English.

My Porsche App

All of the services at a glance: the new My Porsche app combines the features of multiple apps – My Porsche Essentials, Connect, and Car Connect as well as Charging – to create a central interface. Further features and content from other apps, such as the Porsche Good to Know app, are already in development. My Porsche is compatible with vehicle models from 2016 and later. In combination with a smartphone, the versatile tool displays key vehicle parameters, serves as a remote control for selected functions, helps with charging processes and contacting dealers, and answers many questions in 25 languages.

Experience the Urban Side of Porsche

The first Porsche Studio in North America will soon be opening its doors in Portland, Oregon.

New brand touchpoints have been created with 17 Porsche Studios around the world and more than 20 temporary Porsche NOW sales pop-ups in 23 countries, including in Tainan, Taiwan; and in Hanoi, Vietnam.
