Porsche made moments for eternity at Le Mans. In the upcoming months, the Porsche Museum will dedicate itself extensively to the leading heritage theme: “The Porsche success story in Le Mans”. The starting point is 1951, the year in which Porsche first drove to a class victory with the 356 SL. A further 107 class and 19 overall victories followed the triumph with the light alloy Coupé. 70 years later, Porsche is launching Porsche Moments, a new series that devotes six episodes to this famous chapter. The team pays tribute to the many historically significant moments in Le Mans through the media, internationally and at the headquarters in Zuffenhausen. “In the new Porsche Moments format, we will be highlighting special moments in our past during which we – from today's point of view – have made corporate, product or racing history. We reconstruct these moments as authentically as possible by means of contemporary witnesses and invite our fans to again experience these special Porsche Moments via our social media channels,” says Achim Stejskal, Head of Porsche Heritage and Museum. Le Mans winner and endurance champion Timo Bernhard takes fans through the episodes as the host. He meets up with interesting contemporary witnesses in Zuffenhausen and Weissach.
