Sports car fascination 9
A big dream has to be fought for. And so
does a bold vision. The next victory?
Rarely does it simply fall into our lap.
Often though, there are innate factors
we must fight against: resistance,
conventions, and rigid pat terns of
thinking.
Whatever we fight for or against, nothing
is achieved without passion, grit and
determination. Ferry Porsche gave
every thing for the sports car of his
dreams. His dream came true. Not
because he hesitated, dwelled or got
lucky. Because he went that extra mile. This attitude is in every Porsche that
we’ve created since 1948. It ’s there in
the smallest part and in every race we’ve
won. It ’s also found in every idea. That ’s
because our engineers are not satisfied
with 100
%. It ’s because they fight. They
fight for that
one crucial percentage point
more. For the one second that means the
difference
between triumph and despair.
For the ‘Dr. Ing.’ in our company name
and for the chance to stir the passion for
the sports car time and time again. To us, it ’s never been about extra
horsepower alone, but about more ideas
per hp. It ’s about engines that are more
efficient, not bigger. It ’s about a design
that follows principles, not trends. It’s
about sports cars that can be driven day
in, day out.
It ’s only when all these things come
together that we can talk of Intelligent
Performance – the core of the Porsche
brand, and of its future. This is what we
are fighting for. Just as we did on day
one. We are fighting for a dream that will
forever be in our heart.
The dream of the sports car.
“In the beginning I looked around and could not find quite the car
I dreamed of. So I decided to build it myself.”
Ferry Porsche
