The Hockenheim Circuit (Hockenheimring) is one of the most popular in Germany. A route inaugurated in 1932 was conceived in the shape of a triangle and with more than 12 kilometers in length. Formula 1 cars, racing cars from various categories, or motorcycles from the Superbike championship have raced on its asphalt. It is a key event in the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters), closing the calendar each season. Porsche wanted to honor ninety years of motorsport history with the new Taycan GTS Hockenheimring Edition.
A curious choice for an electric car to honor a circuit, but the truth is that it could not be more successful since, as the entire automotive industry, Hockenheim has been in constant evolution, and little remains of the original layout, which is more than 12 kilometers long. In 1938 a new route of seven kilometers was built and used until 1965 when several chicanes were built to improve the safety of a high-speed circuit. Finally, in 2002 the stadium section was introduced, monopolizing the entire circuit.
Like Hockenheim, the Porsche Taycn results from a process of evolution that began in 1931. It took nine decades and many cars, including myths such as the 911, the 550, the Carrera GT, or the 918 Spyder. The Porsche brand has culminated with the Taycan; Porsche has put all its knowledge and know-how into its first electric, a benchmark for plug-in sportiness. Porsche has opted for the Sport Turismo bodywork for this tribute edition, a hybrid between the saloon and the Cross Turismo that seeks more incredible sportiness with a specific adjustment of the PASM adaptive chassis system and the rear-axle steering system, as well as the integration of Porsche Electric Sport Sound.
