What’s your 911 story?

Porsche engineers share their personal 911 sagas

To date, 27 different variants make up the current generation of the 911 model line-up. Chatting to its developers at a ‘speed dating’ event made one thing clear above all: each Porsche 911 has its own story. Chaos is the enemy of the engineer. Perhaps that would explain why there are usually empty seats in lecture theatres during talks on fluid mechanics. This topic is all about turbulence, one of the greatest challenges in mathematics. Complex partial differential equations, Navier-Stokes equations and inherent non-linearity are things you rarely hear about in everyday life – and perhaps for good reason.
