In the summer, Porsche set a new Guinness World Record; a team of athletes organised by the Porsche Human Performance Centre at Silverstone achieved the longest distance covered in 48 hours by 12 runners using a single treadmill. The team’s grit and determination saw them run 539.86 miles – smashing the previous record by over 40 miles.

In the virtual world of Porsche, interest continues to grow both at home and abroad with over half a million Porsche fans on Facebook, and over 5,500 subscribers to the official Porsche YouTube channel which now features over 100 official uploads. Furthermore, Porsche Experience TV is a recently introduced concept that provides fans of the Stuttgart marque with high-quality web-streamed films showcasing Porsche cars from past and present and is also proving a hit with viewers.

The process of constant evolution and forward progress continues at Porsche in the New Year. Already for 2010, the Boxster Spyder and 911 GT3 RS models are confirmed to arrive in the UK in the Spring, along with the delivery of the 911 Sport Classic to a lucky few UK customers. Further model introductions on the near horizon in 2010 include the first Porsche hybrid model and new V6 derivatives for the Porsche Panamera.
