A selection of special sports cars is prominent. For example, Porsche presents the Type 915 as the study for a Gran Turismo based on the 911. This unique vehicle was constructed in the autumn of 1969 under the 915-type designation. With its wheelbase extended by 350 millimeters, the 915 was designed to offer more legroom for the rear passengers. A 356 Speedster from 1955 also is prominent in the tour. This lightweight and affordable sports car was developed especially for the US market in the 1950s.
A theme of the Porsche exhibition stand is the development of turbocharging. The brand’s pioneering work in this field is illustrated by four sports cars spanning several decades: The Porsche 961, a race track version of the 959 super sports car, demonstrated the reliability and performance during the Le Mans long-distance race in 1986.
