The Porsche Podcast Porsche AG

The spirit of sport is part of the DNA at Porsche, as it is for the two guests of this episode. Both are professional athletes and made it to the top: the golfer Paul Casey and the works racing driver Kévin Estre.

What does it take to fulfil the dream and become a professional athlete? What qualities are crucial? And how do you prepare for big events like the Porsche European Open or the 24-hour race at Le Mans? Together with Host Dr. Sebastian Rudolph the two sportsmen are talking about the beginnings of their sporting careers and how rocky the road from rookie to professional can be.

Only very special Porsche vehicles get to feature ‘GT’ in their name. The abbreviation generally stands for ‘gran turismo’ and can loosely be translated as ‘great ride’ but at Porsche, the two letters also mean something else – racing with road approval. In episode 2 of the podcast, Frank-Steffen Walliser – the man responsible for the 911 and 718 model series, including the GT cars – and former racing driver and Porsche brand ambassador Mark Webber get to the bottom of the GT legend.

In episode 1 of The Porsche Podcast we talk about brands. Some of them we even take for granted in our use of language. If you search for something on the Internet, you "Google" – and the top model of a product range is often described as “the Porsche” of its class. How does this happen? What makes for successful branding?

Our guests: Maria Sharapova, entrepreneur and exceptional tennis player, and Detlev von Platen, member of the Executive Board Sales and Marketing at Porsche.
