Greetings from Dubai
It is probably the most exclusive Porsche meeting in the world, definitely the largest automobile festival in the Middle East – the Icons of Porsche
It is probably the most exclusive Porsche meeting in the world, definitely the largest automobile festival in the Middle East – the Icons of Porsche in Dubai. Around 15,000 people came to see exclusive models, famous racing drivers and innovations from Porsche.
Legend of the 1970s: The Porsche 912 was built from 1965 to 1969 – visually almost identical to the 911, but as a somewhat more affordable entry-level model.
The Porsche Museum contributed four classic sports cars to the event in Dubai, including the Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar from 1986 and the Porsche 911 SC Safari, built in 1978.
In total, over a thousand vehicles were on display at the festival, which attracted visitors not only from the region, but actually from all over the world.
“Safari Camel”: This is what the replica of Chris Labrooy’s artwork looks like
The René Staud Gallery: We were there with selected images from 50 years of car photography – “open air” for a change.
Fans from all over the world gathered for the largest car festival in the Middle East
We have captured the défilé of the most extraordinary models – at a temperature of forty degrees in the shade, and around the clock
“You never get tired of photographing such beautiful, exclusive vehicles”.
Anniversary for the Cayenne: Porsche has been building the SUV for 20 years – and it is particularly popular in the USA.
“Project 356 World Rally Tour”: For a good cause, amateur racer Renée Brinkhoff has already competed on six continents in the 65-year-old Porsche 356. Next destination: Antarctica
The super sports car from Stuttgart: The Porsche 918 Spyder has been built since 2010 – after 918 units, production ended five years later.
