365 days of Porsche captivation next year
Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG is once again
offering an attractive range of calendars for the coming year,
including three large-format wall calendars and a date planner. The
official 2008 Porsche calendar invites you to take a journey back
through time to mark the 60th anniversary of the Porsche brand. Current
Porsche models take center stage, accompanied by twelve classic
vehicles. They are set in locations, each of which is connected with a
well-known event from the classic vehicles’ year of manufacture. For
example, February features the current Boxster together with the
classic 550 A Spyder, in front of the Stuttgart television tower, which
opened in 1956. That same year, the Porsche 550 A Spyder was voted
“vehicle of the year”. The calendar is 59 x 55.5 centimeters and is
traditionally sold with a collector’s coin. It costs 34.51 Euro*.
In 2008, the
historical
calendar presents the legendary 917-type racing cars at their various
development stages from 1969 to 1972. In 1970, a 917 secured the first
overall victory for Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and thus made
motor-sport history. A spiral binding divides the 30 x 42 centimeter
large historical calendar (60 x 42 centimeters when opened out)
vertically down the middle. When placed in the slip case provided, the
calendar becomes an illustrated collectors’ book that will long outlast
the year 2008. Again, it costs 34.51 Euro*.
The style calendar
was created
by the designers in the Porsche Development Center in Weissach. This
year, 13 themes use current and classic vehicles to show the typical
Porsche design line. This 70 x 50 centimeter calendar comes with a
CD-Rom with a striking screen saver. This calendar costs 55.93 Euro*.
The
lavishly produced Porsche
Design Driver’s Selection date planner contains illustrations of the
current Porsche RS Spyder racing car competing in the American Le Mans
series. In addition, the date planner provides background information
on the racing car’s development and technology. This A5 spiral-bound
planner costs 34.51 Euro*. The three calendars and the date planner can
be ordered over the Internet at www.porsche.com and will also be
available from Porsche centers. Some of these products may be available
only in certain countries.*The stated prices are non-binding recommended selling prices for Germany that are inclusive of value added tax.
