Porsche Museum Releases Eight-Decade History on DVD

    0 Ratings
    STUTTGART, Germany — As souvenirs go, this is a good one. The Porsche Museum has just released a DVD history of the company in eight chapters, each covering a decade of Porsche's history. The DVD is titled The Porsche Way.

    The DVD, which has a specially composed musical soundtrack, is two and a half hours in length and is available in both German and English. It's based on the Porsche archives' 5,000 hours of film footage. The company promises some never-before-released film clips. Racing drivers Hans Herrmann, Eberhard Mahle and Paul Ernst Strähle make appearances, as do Porsche historical figures including "Engine King" Hans Mezger and Heinz Rabe, described as the former director of Porsche social affairs.

    Central to the DVD, of course, are the life stories and accomplishments of Ferdinand and Ferry Porsche.

    The Porsche Way sells at the Porsche Museum store for the equivalent of $34.50. No word on a way to order it, at least for now, other than going to the museum. Then again, tourist season is here!
