Intelligent ideas for an efficient future

Dear Porsche enthusiast,

Porsche Intelligent Performance – the quintessence

of more than 60 years of sportscar engineering.

After all, Porsche performance is based on intelligent

ideas for more efficient engines and lighter bodies.

For greater output combined with reduced fuel

consumption and lower emissions.

Our identity can be summed up in many words, and

by three digits. The new 911 sets new standards in

terms of athleticism and efficiency, in keeping with

the principle of Porsche Intelligent Performance.

We are pleased to present this new milestone in

Porsche history to you in detail.

The Boxster E offers another glimpse into the future

of the sportscar. The ‘E’ stands for an all-electric,

emission-free drive. The research vehicle has a

maximum output of 180 kW and a range of up to

170 km. In this edition of Porsche News, you can

read all about electric mobility, Porsche style.

State-of-the-art drive concepts also play an important

role in Porsche motorsport. That’s why Porsche is

returning to Le Mans with an LMP1 sports prototype.

The first outing of the completely redeveloped

racecar is scheduled for 2014. Join us in celebrating

our comeback at this famous racing event.

As always, we will also be looking back at some

special vehicles from Porsche history, such as

the first-ever 911 of 1963, and at the painstaking

restoration of the Porsche 911 T of 1973 by

Porsche Classic.

The stainless steel tailpipes have been restyled for

both models. On the 911 Carrera S, twin tailpipes are

fitted on each side. Another new feature is the wider,

extendable rear spoiler, which reduces lift in all driving

scenarios, thereby enhancing stability. The 911 Carrera

and the 911 Carrera S are equipped as standard with

19-inch and 20-inch wheels, respectively. One inch

larger than those of the previous model, they

underline the purposeful stance of the new 911,

and their increased rolling circumference improves

both comfort and performance. In summary, form

always follows function. As a design principle, it

couldn’t be more straightforward, but it’s what makes

the 911 a 911. It’s also how we have managed to

achieve a very low drag coefficient of just 0.29.

Their slimline design contrasts with that of the rounded

headlights. Together with the two integral air intakes,

they give the front of the new 911 its unmistakable

look. At the rear, everything feels sharper: the styling,

the appearance and the overall effect. This is due

not least to the pronounced profile edge and new

LED taillights, their stretched design accentuating the

horizontal contouring of the rear. The characteristic

reflector units are positioned much lower – for a highly

distinctive rear design, particularly at night.

One thing was clear. To be able to build the new 911, we would need to reflect on where we came from. What is it that defines us? The engineering credentials suggested by the title ‘Dr. Ing.’ in our company name, certainly. More than 28,000 racing victories, definitely. However, we also embrace our responsibility for the future of the sportscar and for the wider environment. Then there is the iconic status of the 911, but all this means nothing unless we continue to breathe new life into old ideas.

Many legends look to the past. This one looks to the future. The new 911.

The new 911

Exterior design.

Form always follows function. As a design principle, it

couldn’t be more simple, but it’s what makes the 911

a 911 since 1963. However, we are also continually

updating the car’s appearance. The modified vehicle

architecture, with a wider track at the front axle and

the lower roofline, gives the front of the new 911 a

dynamic appearance that is both sporty and elegant.

The wheelbase is 100 mm longer for improved

stability and cornering dynamics. Overhang is now

shorter at the front and rear, making the new 911

look even more compact. Fitted as standard, the new

Bi-Xenon headlights still have the familiar oval-shaped

surrounds. Adding to the car’s classic appeal, they

also offer a glimpse of the technically impressive

inner workings. The Porsche Dynamic Light System

(PDLS) with dynamic cornering lights and speed-

sensitive headlight control is available as an option.

The direction indicators, daytime running lights and

position lights all feature LED technology and are

integrated into the separate front light units.

Interior design.

At Porsche, we don’t build everyday sportscars,

we build sportscars for everyday life. How? By

understanding that exceptional agility and outstanding

comfort are not mutually exclusive, but essential

elements of a harmonious overall concept.

What this means becomes clear the moment you

step into the car. The extended wheelbase now

offers 25 mm more legroom in the front than in

previous 911 models. Comfort and athleticism

are also reflected in the clever ergonomics that

characterise the entire interior design. The materials

used, the layout of the controls and their operating

logic belong to a new generation of sportscar. New

to the 911 is the elevated centre console.

A classic 911 feature is the arrangement of the

five round instruments with the rev counter in the

middle, while further new additions include the

instrument cluster with a high-resolution 4.6-inch

full VGA TFT colour display for viewing on-board

computer, audio system or navigation information.

Fitted as standard, the sports seats combine

excellent comfort with racing style support and

now feature 4-way electric adjustment. Also new is

the optional light design package for the footwells,

storage compartments, rear compartment and

overhead console. As ever, we offer an extensive

selection of interior colours and materials, such as

carbon, leather, wood or aluminium.

Acoustics are an integral part of the concept, and

they aren’t restricted to the engine sound alone.

Available as an option is the Burmester® High-End

Surround Sound System. Tailored to the new

911 Carrera models, it features 12 loudspeakers

and a total output of 821 watts for a perfect spatial

sound.

In summary, the new 911 proves that style and

engineering along with comfort and performance can

go hand in hand. For us, there is no contradiction

and certainly no need for compromise. After all, a

strong personality does not deny the existence of

opposites, it unites them successfully – another

hallmark of the 911 identity.

The 911 Carrera S also displays its rich racing heritage

both visibly and audibly: with the resonant sound

from its boxer engine, twin tailpipes in brushed

stainless steel and 20-inch Carrera S wheels.

You can also feel it, thanks to Porsche Active

Suspension Management (PASM), which is fitted

as standard, the optional PASM sports suspension

with outstanding aerodynamics and the ride height

lowered by 20 mm, or the optional Sport Chrono

Package and dynamic engine mounts.

Available as standard, Porsche Torque Vectoring

(PTV), or Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

in conjunction with the optional PDK, increase

traction. Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC),

an active anti-roll system, is available as an option –

for enhanced agility, comfort and safety.

The new 911 Carrera.

Tradition and innovation combine seamlessly in

the new rear-mounted 3.4-litre boxer engine thanks

to its downsized capacity. Despite the reduced

displacement, the engine is capable of delivering

even more power to the road than its 3.6-litre

predecessor.

The figures speak for themselves: 257 kW (350 hp) at

7,400 rpm. Maximum torque: 390 Nm at 5,600 rpm.

Yet, in conjunction with the optional Porsche

Doppelkupplung (PDK), both fuel consumption and

CO2 emissions have been reduced by 16 %. Even

more impressively, the car accelerates from 0 to

100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed

of 289 km/h. The power of the new 911 Carrera is

transmitted precisely and directly to the wheels by

the new 7-speed manual gearbox. The SPORT

button, which is fitted as standard, makes it

possible to select an even more responsive engine

and transmission setup.

Models.The new 911 Carrera S.

It has all the characteristics you would expect of

a sportscar whose origin is in motorsport. The

performance figures leave no doubt as to the car’s

genes. The 3.8-litre engine with direct fuel injection

(DFI) and VarioCam Plus delivers 294 kW (400 hp)

at 7,400 rpm. Maximum torque of 440 Nm is

available at 5,600 rpm. With a manual gearbox,

the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is completed in just

4.5 seconds, all the way up to a top speed of

304 km/h.

All this power is matched with outstanding efficiency.

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been

reduced by 14 % compared with the previous model.

This has been possible thanks to the Auto start/stop

function, which is available as standard, and the

coasting function in conjunction with the optional

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) double-clutch

transmission.

Summary.

To us, heritage and future are inseparably linked.

Of course, we could simply have made a capable

sportscar, but this wouldn’t have been a Porsche,

and certainly not a 911. Our identity is the 911. This

is especially true, even in the 21st century. Instantly

recognisable and originally engineered for the

racetrack, it continues to stir the emotions today,

just as it did back in 1963.

We follow a principle we call Porsche Intelligent

Performance. Three words that perfectly sum

up what we stand for. And three digits: the new

Porsche 911. Porsche identity.

Efficiency through lightweight construction.

The new 911 fulfils two structural design requirements

thanks to its completely new bodyshell: firstly,

excellent driving dynamics owing to the body’s

extremely high rigidity; secondly, a weight saving

of approximately 50 kg in the bodyshell due to

intelligent lightweight construction.

To meet the second requirement, we employed

innovative, high-precision joining techniques in order

to benefit from specific material properties exactly

where they are needed. For the bodyshell, therefore,

we employed very thin, but nevertheless extremely

rigid, sheets of steel. Aluminium was used extensively

in areas such as the roof, underbody, front and rear

sections, doors, wings, and the engine compartment

and luggage compartment lids. The cockpit support

beam is made from lightweight magnesium. Such

efficient use of materials is key to reducing the

overall weight and, as a result, fuel consumption.

For the driver, this intelligent blend of materials

reduces the weight of the vehicle and offers a high

level of comfort thanks to excellent vibration damping

characteristics and particularly high composite rigidity,

an increase in dynamic torsional rigidity of up to 25 %

compared with that of the previous model, and even

better handling.

The Boxster E

the 918 Spyder – the high-performance hybrid with

plug-in technology, for both road and track. The

new Boxster E takes a completely new path – and

not just in terms of its engine sound. The research

vehicle has no combustion engine on board at all.

It is expected to play a pioneering role as part of

the Federal Government’s ‘Electro-Mobility in Model

Regions’ project in Stuttgart, which explores the

question of how to make electro-mobility more

suitable for everyday use, particularly with regard

to driving and battery charging.

How do you define a Porsche? It is the successful reconciliation of seeming opposites. The principle of getting the maximum out of what is possible – and that which may appear impossible. A principle of sports performance that is derived from the racetrack and is embodied by each and every one of our cars. We call it Porsche Intelligent Performance.

It provides the basis for innovations such as the

intelligent interpretation of the hybrid drive on the

Panamera S Hybrid and Cayenne S Hybrid – for

lower fuel consumption on the road. Or the front

axle hybrid with flywheel energy storage on the

911 GT3 Hybrid and 918 RSR race lab – for efficient

performance on the racetrack. And naturally for

The Boxster E research vehicle.

The ‘E’ stands for an all-electric drive – and therefore

for emission-free driving pleasure. The Boxster E

research vehicle comes in two variants: a version

with a single electric machine and an output of

90 kW, and another with two electric machines that

delivers 180 kW and is the first Boxster to feature

all-wheel drive.

There’s no clutch pedal or gear lever. The motors

reach speeds of up to 12,000 rpm without the need

for any gear changes. The all-wheel drive Boxster E

completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5

seconds, all the way up to a top speed of 200 km/h.

The whole system is controlled by the power

electronics. The car is based around the conventional

Boxster chassis with the traction battery and electrical

drive components located where the mid-mounted

engine is usually sited. This layout helps to reduce

driving resistance for optimum range. An overall

concept for a completely new driving experience.

In short: pure pleasure behind the wheel.

The Boxster E is powered by a lithium-iron-phosphate-

based traction battery (LiFePO4) and driven by two

electric machines on the front and rear axles that

operate independently of each other with a fixed gear

ratio. A central electric control unit synchronizes the

two electric machines and controls the distribution

of drive torque.

What does it feel like to drive a Porsche with zero emissions? Electrifying!

With a capacity of 29 kWh, of which around 26 kWh

can be used due to the operating principle, the

battery offers exceptional power and performance.

Its maximum output is around 240 kW, that’s 60 kW

more than the all-wheel drive Boxster E requires

under full load.

High-voltage connections for rapid charging in under 30 minutes.

The cells are housed in a total of ten block-

shaped modules, each containing 44

individual cells. The internal charging

device is connected at the high-

voltage port, so that the battery can

be charged at a capacity of 3.3 kW

using a standard household socket.

However, a higher charging capacity

of up to 60 kW can be achieved by

using an external high-speed charger,

which also reduces the charging time to

under 30 minutes.

The result: typical Porsche performance in terms of

the charging process as well as responsiveness – from

the word go. All this without any local emissions,

yet with the high performance usually associated

with the Boxster S powered by a conventional en-

gine. A truly electrifying experience!

The Boxster E

High-voltage battery.

With regard to electro-mobility, the highest demands

are placed on the batteries. These need to be

compact, lightweight and powerful, as well as highly

durable and able to rapidly absorb a high level of

energy. Just like the high-voltage battery developed

and tested by Porsche Engineering. Designed

especially for use in the Boxster E, it delivers the

levels of power typically required by sportscars,

while at the same time being lightweight and optimally

positioned in the car. The traction battery weighs

341 kg and replaces the combustion engine of the

conventional production vehicle, usually powered

by a mid-mounted unit. This has a positive effect on

the vehicle’s centre of gravity, thereby enhancing its

driving dynamics.

The cells used are made of lithium iron

phosphate (LiFePO4) and provide a

balanced mix of energy and power

density. They are also very durable

and safe. The battery is fully charged

at approximately 363 volts. The target

range is 170 km in accordance with

the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC).

The Porsche works team returns to Le Mans with an

LMP1 sports prototype. The first outing of the completely

newly developed racecar is scheduled for 2014. With

16 overall victories, Porsche is the most successful

manufacturer at Le Mans to date. It celebrated its most

recent win in 1998 with the Porsche 911 GT1.

Since then, Porsche Motorsport has focused on

customer racing. The RS Spyder sports prototype

alone, which was run from 2006 to 2008 by the

factory-backed Penske Racing team in the LMP2

category in the American Le Mans Series, caused a

sensation with its spectacular overall victories and

class wins. Other customer teams went on to enjoy

further great successes with the racecar.

“With the RS Spyder we proved that our motorsport

engineers in Weissach are at the forefront”, says

Wolfgang Hatz, Board Member for Research and

Development at Porsche AG. “For instance, we were

the first to run a high-revving race engine with direct

fuel injection, setting new standards in performance

and efficiency.”

Hartmut Kristen, Head of Porsche Motorsport, is

already prepared for one of the most challenging

development programmes in the company’s history:

“We’re looking forward to the task of developing new

technologies and to continuing on with the success

of the Porsche RS Spyder. After the conclusion of

our works-supported sports prototype programme

in the American Le Mans Series, we have kept up

with the latest technological advances. Now we will

begin with the detailed research in order to evaluate

the various concept alternatives for our new car.

These obviously depend on how the regulations for

2014 look in detail. In principle, these regulations

are interesting for us, because the integration of

our hybrid technology in the vehicle concept is one

possible option.”

Porsche has already proven that hybrid technology

and sportscar engineering are the perfect partners

with its production vehicles, the Panamera S Hybrid

and Cayenne S Hybrid. As Porsche has its roots in

motor racing, the introduction of hybrid technology

into motorsport was sure to follow fairly swiftly.

The 911 GT3 R Hybrid has already enjoyed great

success at endurance events and the new 918 RSR

race lab with the racing number 22 is getting revved

Porsche returns to Le Mans in 2014. Gentlemen, start your engines.

which the Porsche 917 short-tail Coupé of 1971

celebrated its legendary triumph. We hope to see

you soon in Le Mans!

The Porsche 911 of 1963

The Porsche 911 of 1963.The birth of a sporting legend. The 911 was originally premiered as the 901 at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) in 1963. However, a French manufacturer claimed copyright over the use of all model numbers with zero in the middle. Porsche therefore changed the name from 901 to 911 – three digits that are still guaranteed to set any sportscar enthusiast’s heart racing.

Porsche worked on the shape of the body for the

911 during the 1950s, back when the 356 was the

driving force behind the company. The silhouette

finally used was designed by Ferry Porsche’s son,

Ferdinand Alexander.

Model: Porsche 911

Engine: 6-cylinder boxer engine, air-cooled,

DOHC

Max. power: 130 hp (96 kW) at 6,100 rpm

Displacement: 1,991 cm3

Fuel system: two Solex triple carburettors,

tank capacity: 62 litres

Transmission: 5-speed manual gearbox

Chassis:

Monocoque bodyshell with independent front suspen-

sion featuring transverse links and damper struts,

longitudinal torsion bars, independent rear suspension

featuring semi-trailing links and transverse torsion bars

Dimensions and weight:

Wheelbase: 2,211 mm

Length: 4,163 mm

Width: 1,610 mm

Height: 1,320 mm

Unladen weight: 1,080 kg

Top speed: 210 km/h

Right from the start it was clear that the successor

to the 356 would also have a rear-mounted engine.

The chosen unit was a six-cylinder boxer engine with

an axial fan and – due to the greater speed reserves

– an overhead camshaft on each side.

The camshafts were chain-driven. The 356 frame

and chassis were replaced with new designs.

The result was a car about which Ferry Porsche later

said, “The 911 shaped the unmistakable character of

the Porsche sportscar”. And this still holds true

today.

A brilliant piece of restoration history:Porsche Classic gives the Porsche 911 T a new lease of life.

The car has a silver exterior and a black interior,

the classic colour combination that people found

so appealing back then. Little wonder that this

classic model is now a much-coveted collector’s

item. However, anyone who saw the vehicle in its

pitiful condition last autumn can only imagine the

time and effort that the experts from Porsche

Classic must have put into restoring this Porsche

to its former glory, inside and out.

The vehicle was in need of extensive work: after

the paint was stripped and the car was completely

dismantled, the 911 was immersed in a cataphoretic

bath, a modern dip-painting process designed to

prolong its service life. The restoration also entailed

a complete reconstruction of the engine and

transmission, as well as interior refurbishment.

Elegant, streamlined, sporty and stunning to behold – when almost a full year’s work comes to such a resplendent

conclusion, the seasoned experts from Porsche Classic can’t help but feel proud of the masterpiece they have

created. The Porsche 911 T Coupé, US version, built in 1973, looks as fresh as the day it rolled off the production

line and is still full of 1970s charm.

‘Revive the Passion’, a joint project by the Porsche

Club of America (PCA), Porsche Club Coordination

and Porsche Classic, is now complete. Workshop

manager Jochen Bader accompanied the vehicle

in person to Stuttgart Airport to oversee the

securing and packing of this valuable freight onto

the aluminium pallet. Goodbye, 911 T – have a good

trip back to the US. After the vehicle was raffled

off to PCA members, the winner took receipt of

this classic gem at the Porsche Parade in America

and the passion was revived once more.

Porsche SC Global Carrera Cup Asia – Singapore 2011

Blasting off the streets of Singapore

The exhilarating racing competition gathered international Porsche Motorsport fans and other exclusive guests to cheer for their favourite Porsche drivers as they battled over two races of 12 laps each during the FORMULA ONE SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX weekend.

Rounds 9 and 10 of the Porsche SC Global Carrera

Cup Asia – Singapore 2011 (PCCA 2011) season was

brought to the Lion City by Porsche China and long-time

series partner, Singapore luxury property developer, SC

Global Developments. The intense races had Porsche

fans sitting on the edge of their seats at the exclusive

Porsche Grandstand as twenty-six 911 GT3 Cup racing

machines swept through the 5.073 km Marina Bay

street circuit, known to be unforgiving to small mistakes

with its tight chicanes and fast corners. This, however,

did not manage to intimidate the participating drivers as

they fiercely fought for the crown.

As if competition was not strong enough, PCCA

2010’s champion, Team StarChase’s Christian

Menzel, and second winner in the Porsche Carrera

Spectators from the exclusive Porsche Grandstand.

Cup Australia, SC Global Racing’s Craig Baird, were

back again in Singapore as substitute drivers.

The first race began at 5.30 pm on 24 September

2011. Menzel took a victorious win despite his wrong

choice in tyres and the occurrence of the brief Safety

Car Period after Modena Motorsport’s Wayne Shen

hit the wall. Following closely behind Menzel, was

Baird pushing harder than ever to catch up. LKM’s

Keita Sawa of Japan was third across the line and

was applauded for doing such an excellent job for

this Marina Bay debut. Pauian Archiland Absolute

Racing’s Jeffrey Lee took victory by overtaking Team

Kangshun’s Ringo Chong, leaving OpenRoad Racing’s

Francis Lee in the third place after a strong run which

almost ended up in disaster just two laps from the

flag. Tjia ran wide, forfeiting a place to a hard charging

Anthony Liu who himself then hit trouble almost

crashing into the barriers. Eventually, Liu crossed the

line as 13th, finishing Round 9 of the Carrera race.

Before the second race on the following day, Porsche

Club members and exclusive guests were all invited

to the PCCA 2011 Brunch, held at Marina Bay Sands,

to give Porsche enthusiasts a complete motorsport

experience. An informative presentation on Porsche

Exclusive and Tequipment provided insights for

Porsche owners on customizing their Porsche. At

the Fitting Lounge, guests explored the different

configurations available to recreate their dream

Porsche car using multi-touch screens.

The entertainment options were aplenty. A glamorous

fashion show was put up by Porsche Design flaunting

the latest season’s collections. Racing stimulators

were set up to give everyone the opportunity to

experience driving a Porsche. Not forgetting, a wide

spread of sumptuous international fare for all to enjoy.

The cars blasted off again into their final race in

Singapore at 5.00 pm. A superb display of strong

tussling between Menzel and Baird, and behind them,

a trio made up of Avila, O’Young and Sawa was not to

be missed as they fought hard to take lead. In lap five,

more high-speed jostling occurred as Top Speed Racing

Anthony Liu, Hong Kong’s Alain Li and Singapore’s star,

attempts to overtake Porsche Club Singapore Racing’s

Mok Weng Sun backfired bringing a reoccurrence

of the Safety Car period. The other drivers were not

wavered as they roared off immediately after the

Safety Car pulled off. With Menzel ultimately emerging

as the winner, followed by Baird then Sawa who

leapt to the to the top of overall standing score, the

PCCA 2011 races in Singapore were brought to a

successive conclusion and a promising season finale

at Shanghai International Circuit.

Porsche Parade Southeast Asia 2011

Bringing together Porsche owners from around Southeast Asia.In conjunction with the Formula 1 weekend, the inaugural Porsche Parade Southeast Asia 2011 was organised specially for our family of passionate Porsche customers to enjoy a week of fun-driving and gathering.

146 Porsche Club members and Porsche customers

from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and

Taiwan as well as another 127 guests from around the

world, took part in this year’s Porsche Parade Southeast

Asia. An impressive convoy of 115 Porsche cars

travelled a total distance of more than 1,100 kilometres,

driving from Singapore to Kuantan, Malaysia and then

back to participate in the Singapore Island Drive.

One of the main highlights of the event was the

participation of Porsche’s rare and iconic classic

cars. The Porsche 356 Speedster from 1955 and a

356 Coupè from 1963 were specially flown in from

the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. With

another three privately-owned Porsche 356, they

formed the classic car convoy for the Parade.

The Porsche Parade Southeast Asia started on 21

September 2011with Porsche Club Singapore and

customers beginning the first leg of the drive from

Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the

Parade visited Porsche Centre Bukit Bintang. To

coincide with this momentous occasion, Sime Darby

Auto Performance, the official Porsche Importer in

Malaysia, also launched the Panamera S Hybrid,

Panamera Turbo S, 911 GT3 RS 4.0 and Boxster

Spyder. The Porsche Parade continued to Kuantan with

additional Porsche Club Malaysia members joining,

where the Porsche Club members stayed overnight

before continuing the drive back to Singapore on the

next day which included a stop-over at Mersing.

The Porsche Parade arrived in Singapore at the

end of day 2 of the Porsche Parade Southeast

Participants were in high spirits as they got ready to flag off from Dempsey Hill.

Asia. Participants spent the next day unwinding and

exploring the island, and attended the Porsche SC

Global Carrera Cup Asia –Singapore 2011 races,

cheering along with fellow Porsche enthusiasts at the

dedicated Porsche grandstand by night.

On Day 4, Porsche Parade Southeast Asia continued

with the Porsche Singapore Island Drive. The entire

convoy gathered at the starting point, Dempsey Hill,

for breakfast and photo-taking before the flag-off to

visit a few significant landmarks in Singapore: Old

Upper Thomson Road, Porsche Centre Singapore

at Leng Kee Road, and a drive through the world-

renowned Orchard Road, Singapore’s main shopping

belt. The drive along the Old Upper Thomson Road

was particularly meaningful as it was the original

stretch of road that was used as the Singapore

Grand Prix venue back in the 60s to 70s. The

Singapore Island Drive ended with a delectable

farewell lunch at Hotel Fort Canning, Gattopardo.

The memorable Porsche Parade has made the close

relationships within the big Porsche family even more

evident and was integral to the forging of numerous

new ties.

Porsche circle of enthusiasts, please contact your
