What I found interesting was where the outgoing leader of R&D was headed. Dürheimer will take over as Chairman of the Executive Board of Bentley Motors in addition [...]
I mentioned this project a while back, but didn’t realize until recently that they were tracking it’s progress through a special site. Over the next 12 months, Porsche will restore a 1973 Porsche 911 T Coupe. The finished car will be raffled off among PCA members. It seems Porsche isn’t the only one following a [...]
