New Porsche Driver Experience
In March, Porsche presented a completely new, innovative architecture for the interior of the new Cayenne: the Porsche Driver Experience. It stands for a fully digital display, versatile individualization and intuitive operation. In the center, the focus is on the driver’s axle. The most important controls are grouped around the steering wheel. This creates a new, even more intensive driving experience.

The third generation has fundamentally been overhauled with comprehensive changes to the powertrain, chassis, design and equipment. This has further extended not only on-road and off-road performance, but also luxurious everyday comfort.
Dr. Wolfgang Porsche turns 80.
Not only the Porsche brand, but also Dr. Wolfgang Porsche celebrated in 2023: the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG celebrated his 80th birthday. “The Porsche myth lives and will never perish!” – Dr. Wolfgang Porsche made this legendary promise to the Porsche team in Zuffenhausen in July 2009 and gave them confidence in difficult times.
Porsche 718 Spyder RS

Porsche sharpens the look of the Turbo derivatives
For almost 50 years, the Turbo models have enjoyed an exalted position at Porsche. They stand for a distinctively high performance and represent the epitome of every model series.
