Contents of the magazine

Porsche Classic focuses on the legendary classic sports car models from Zuffenhausen. Whether it's the 911, 356, 550, 914, or the transaxle generation, every model continues to inspire fans around the world to this day. Experienced motoring journalists and world-class racing drivers take the wheel to tell the stories. Editor-in-chief Bianca Leppert often gets behind the wheel herself.
