After what has been an incredibly challenging and unpredictable 18 months, the Goodwood Festival of Speed made a welcome return in July, as part of the Government Events Research Programme.

Within the pages of this latest edition, we are delighted to present some new additions to the Porsche range. We shine a light on the recently introduced Macan, along with the much admired 911 GTS models.

Turning up the volume somewhat is the new Cayenne Turbo GT, a four door, four-wheel drive sports car with the highest power output yet from a production Porsche V8 engine. Watch Porsche test driver Lars Kern set a new official SUV lap record at the Nürburgring.

The new Macan.

Unmistakable and unstoppable, the new Macan pushes its boundaries. With a newly revised exterior, the Macan presents a modern design architecture. Elements such as the front apron with newly designed spoiler, sideblades in new design and redeveloped rear with black diffuser.

Revised engines continue to deliver exceptional performance, including the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine and 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine which produce outstanding power and torque. Never ceasing to push the boundary. Whilst daring forward.

Porsche Macan models WLTP combined fuel consumption 24.1 - 28.0 mpg, WLTP CO₂ combined emissions 265 – 228 g/km.

The new Cayenne Turbo GT.

Shaped by performance. And its motorsport origins. The new Cayenne Turbo GT represents absolute performance, thanks to the maximum configuration of the twin-turbo V8 engine, specifically tuned suspension, and new lightweight sports exhaust system.

The interior design follows this same concept. The rev counter in Turbo GT design, seat belts in Neodyme paired with the exclusive GT interior package creates a pure racetrack ambience. Perfect for tackling the next bend.

The new 911 GTS models

GTS. It is these three esteemed letters that make the pulse of every discerning motorsport enthusiast race fast. Combining passion and performance, the new 911 GTS models present more power, agility, dynamics - and a unique sporty appearance.

Equipped with the Sport Chrono Package and Launch Control, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS sprints from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds.  GTS-specific brakes and GTS-specific PASM suspension come together to create the typical sporty handling of a GTS model. For more of what you love.

The new 911 GT3 with Touring Package

Understated looks and pure performance. The 911 GT3 with Touring Package takes its motorsport origins closer to the road. Its natural environment? A terrain full of challenging bends.

Even without a rear wing, the 911 GT3 with Touring Package conquers every curve with its extendible spoiler and ingenious aerodynamics. For fans of pure engagement, the performance-oriented 6-speed GT sports manual transmission. Heightening your anticipation of one thing in particular: the next bend.

The new Taycan Cross Turismo.

The Taycan Cross Turismo is the culmination of several years of development that began with the Mission E Cross Turismo concept in 2018. Sharing the innovative 800-volt architecture of its sports saloon sibling, the Cross Turismo offers the same exceptional levels of performance and rapid charging capabilities, but introduces a suite of new features oriented around both family life and sporty outdoor pursuits.

The all-electric Taycan Cross Turismo comes in four derivatives – the Taycan 4, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S.

The new 911 GT3

Some focus on making the most of every day, but we make the most of every second. For the new 911 GT3, we’ve refined everything that makes a genuine sports car: aerodynamics, performance, tuning, driving pleasure and adrenaline.

The 4.0 litre six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine feels and sounds close to the racetrack, as it revs to an astonishing 9,000 rpm. For those who appreciate that time is precious, the 911 GT3 delivers this message within a driver-focused vehicle concept for high driving pleasure and pure performance.

The new Taycan.

The new Taycan is driven by a powerful Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor at the rear axle. With the same unmistakable exterior design, inspired by the Mission E concept, specific details such as the five-spoke design of its aerodynamically optimised 19-Inch Taycan Aero wheels, brake calipers in Black and side window trims make it as inspiring to look at as it is to drive.

The Performance Battery as standard, delivers a remarkable 326PS (380PS with the optional Performance Battery Plus). With overboost under Launch Control, the maximum power output is up to 408PS (476PS with the Performance Battery Plus). Enough to propel the Taycan from 0-62mph in 5.4s and onto a top speed of 143 mph.*

Boxster 25 years

True beauty knows no age. The Boxster 25 years is arguably one of the best examples of this. Confident in style, it combines its unmistakable lines and design language with references to the very first concept study in 1993. This makes it our homage to the concept of the Boxster – to driving pleasure and feeling forever young.

The new Panamera models

With the Panamera, we consistently went our own way, always stayed true to our roots – and have thus injected the typical Porsche DNA into the luxury saloon segment. With the new Panamera, we are now pursuing this path just as consistently.

We asked ourselves one question: should a sports saloon really look like a saloon? The new Panamera answers this question with an unequivocal no. Whether Panamera or Panamera Sport Turismo – the silhouette and proportions are unmistakably Porsche. Athletic, streamlined, with clear contours and powerful curves.

About the Competition

Last year the Porsche Classice Restoracing Competition celebrated 20 years since the Porsche Boxster was originally launched. Along with other participating Centres. Porsche Centre Wilmslow was tasked with sourcing and restoring a 986 Boxster S with a unique racing livery, before competing in a series of races. 

The Porsche Centre Wilmslow team chose to pay homage to the iconic 917 Le Mans wining race car of 1970 by having the Porsche Salzburg design replicated on the Boxster S.

Once fully prepared, all the cars took to the track in a dedicated Restoracing Championship at soem of the UK's most prestigious circuits including Silverstone and Brands Hatch.

Finally, the cars were judged in numerous categories including mechanical restoration, bodywork preparation, marketing activity and the fan's choice. 

Race results

In the 2019 Restoracing Championship, our Boxster S (986) has been expertly driven by two drivers; Alistair Nelson, Parts Manger, and Sam Beckett, Technician.

In April, the Porsche Centre Wilmslow team got off to a flying start at Donnington Circuit. Alistair took to the wheel for the first time, achieving 56 points towards the Restoracing Scoreboard.

In May, Sam drove for the first time in our Boxster S at Brands Hatch GP Circuit, and managed to secure 33 points.

Following a break in the racing calendar, we were back on track at Brands Hatch but this time on the Indy Circuit in early July. Sam got back behind the wheel adding another 45 points to the championship scoreboard.

The penultimate race of the season was at a very wet and windy Snetterton Circuit in July. This made for some extremely challenging track conditions but Sam did a fantastic job gaining a furhter 51 points towards Porsche Centre Wilmslow. 

The final race

The final race was held at Oulton Park Circuit, Alistair was back behind  the wheel of our Boxster S. The weather looked as though it was going to holdout, however as the cars lined up on the start grid the heavens opened! This made for some action packed racing for the first race, Alistair did a Stirling job keeping the car on the track. The weather cleared up and made for a sunny final race of the championship, Alistair managed to gain the final points of the season.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported is throughout the season, whether that be on social media or joining us track side to cheer Team Wilmslow on. We have thoroughly enjoyed another year of racing.

Well done to some tremendous driving from Alistair Nelson and Sam Beckett as well as our technicians Sam Robinson, Jack Williams, and Sam Beckett for keeping the car on track. Geoff Worth, Paul Markham, Sammie Sexton, Chloe Muddiman for track side support, and finally Amanda Irwin for all the digital coverage of each event.
