Around the Bend...
By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
ny Porsche is a true enthusiast’s car. A
A
classic Porsche may be considered more of a
driver’s car due to the analog nature of the
experience, while a modern Porsche may
be considered more of a performance car due to the
more advanced tech in the nature of the experience.
What all Maverick members can take away from
this is the fact that owning and driving any Porsche is
first and foremost an exceptional experience. So, what
might you consider as a next step to enjoy your Porsche
experience even more? I’m glad you asked!
The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is
providing Porsche enthusiasts an opportunity to better
understand the answer to the question,“What makes
a Porsche a Porsche?” The Porsche Effect exhibit
now at the museum explores the brand’s history and
enduring success, which have been made possible by
the distinctive design, engineering, advertising, and
racing triumphs of its products.
The exhibit encompasses five thematic
sections, each of which contains a combination
of automobiles, artifacts, archival material, film
footage, and visual reproductions.
Elements of Style addresses “what makes a Porsche
a Porsche” by tracing how the cars’ ideal proportions
have developed into an aesthetic archetype that
illustrates “the Porsche Effect.”
The Zuffenhausen and Beyond section explores
the crucial transatlantic relationship between Porsche
manufacturing in Germany and the American market,
illustrating the large role of L.A. in the Porsche story.
Extended Families illustrates both the international
family of Porsche owners and the families of the Porsche
owners themselves. Innovation through Competition
relates the ways in which Porsche’s impressive racing
success was driven by engineering innovation. Finally,
the Word/Image/Object space reveals how the Porsche
phenomenon has resulted in a recognizable style.
As Alan Drayson comments, “driving a Porsche puts
you in charge of a smart, reliable sports machine full of
character. Further, Porsche ownership makes you part
of a massive community of enthusiasts keen to
share their passion for the brand. The social life
that you experience with these cars shouldn’t
be underestimated”.
Sounds like a road trip is in order!
