A car that can survive 14,000 kilometres in the deserts and savannahs of Africa can go anywhere in the world. The Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar mastered the gruelling rally from France to West Africa in 1986.

A car that can survive 14,000 kilometres in the deserts and savannahs of Africa can go anywhere in the world. The Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar mastered the gruelling rally from France to West Africa in 1986. The starting line-up of the Paris-Dakar Rally in 1986 was dominated by trucks and all-terrain vehicles.

An Overview of 75 Years of Racing Triumphs for Porsche

Porsche and racing have had a strong link for 75 years. The German automaker has been a dominant force on the track, racking up victories and pushing the boundaries of automotive technology. Several iconic moments and drivers define Porsche's rich racing history.

Porsche's early strides in car racing began in the late 1940s. The legend began in 1948 with the birth of the Porsche 356. The car established the Porsche brand and laid the foundation for future racing success. Three years later, Porsche secured its first major win with a class victory at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. The victory showcased the car's endurance and performance.

Then, the 1950s saw Porsche continue its ascent in motorsports. Drivers like Gilberte Thirion carved their names in racing history. Victories at legendary races like the Carrera Panamericana and Targa Florio cemented Porsche's reputation as a builder of competitive sports cars.

Next, the 1960s marked a golden age for Porsche racing. The arrival of the iconic 911 brought a street legend and a dominant force on the track. Porsche's first Formula One win in 1962 with the 804 further solidified its engineering prowess. Le Mans remained a particular focus, with Hans Herrmann's near-miss in 1969 followed by a dream come true in 1970 - Porsche's first overall victory at the grueling 24-hour race.

Over the following forty years, Porsche continued its constant innovation and success. In the 1980s, the 956, featuring a revolutionary monocoque chassis, dominated Le Mans for an unprecedented six years straight. The partnership with McLaren to develop the TAG Turbo engine further demonstrated Porsche's ability to push boundaries. Victories in unexpected arenas like the Paris-Dakar Rally with the 953 and 959 showcased the versatility of Porsche engineering.

The 1990s saw the birth of the Porsche Carrera Cup, a one-make series that continues to nurture aspiring drivers today. Le Mans victories continued with the 911 GT1 in 1998, a testament to the enduring legacy of the 911 platform.

In the new millennium, the car manufacturer saw new challenges and triumphs. The American Le Mans Series saw the rise of the RS Spyder prototype, piloted by drivers like Timo Bernhard. In 2017, another incredible feat at Le Mans took place. After falling behind early, the 919 Hybrid staged a remarkable comeback to secure a third consecutive victory. Porsche's racing journey has gone beyond endurance racing. The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E team's historic one-two finish in Mexico City in 2022 marked a significant achievement in electric racing.

Porsche's racing legacy extends beyond the sheer number of trophies. With its ever-evolving regulations, Le Mans has been a testing ground for groundbreaking technologies. From lightweight materials to turbocharging and advanced aerodynamics, Porsche has consistently used the field of motorsport to develop innovations that trickle down to its production cars. Efficiency has also been a cornerstone of Porsche's racing philosophy.

From early victories in fuel consumption categories to the recent success of the 911 GT3, Porsche has proven that speed and efficiency can coexist, winning awards for fuel consumption in their race cars.

A marca Alemã ganhou o rally mais difícil do mundo com os modelos 953 e 959 nos anos 80.

Um do carros que era um dos mais improváveis de ganhar a prova por ser tração traseira  com as lendas do Dakar Jacky Ickx e René Metge (pai dos pilotos de moto Michael e Adrian Metge) que ganharam com o 953 um modelo com a suspenção erguida em 1984, e ganhou em 1986 com o 959, modelo que originalmente feito para o regulamento do grupo B de rally , mas tinha acabado em 1985 , por causa do acidente do rally de Tour de Course com o Lancia Delta S4 , então o projeto do Porsche 959 foi usado para o Paris-Dakar Rally , e foi erguido por causa das dificuldades do trajeto do continente Áfricano.

No final de 2022, a marca Alemã, lançou uma versão do 992 esportiva inspirada no Dakar , com  a suspenção um pouco mais alta.

Que está sendo usado no África eco race como carros oficiais da organização em 2024.
