The Company celebrates its 50th birthday as a manufacturer of Porsche cars. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans – the classic French long-distance event – a Porsche 911 GT1 fitted with a carbon-fibre chassis sees off tough competition to bring a double victory and the 16th overall win for Porsche home to Zuffenhausen. against the toughest competitors.

The 1998-version of the Porsche Carrera, the 911 code-named 996 within the Company, exceeds all existing dimensions. This applies, quite literally, to the car's dimensions outside and inside now much larger than before, as well as its technical features. This is also the first 911 powered by a newly developed, liquid-cooled six-cylinder developing maximum output of 300 bhp. In spring, the 911 Cabriolet is introduced in the market.
