Historical Timeline The Porsche Crest Dr Wendelin Wiedeking – Kaizen Company Locations Porsche In North America Porsche Business Disciplines Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Page 1.1 Porsche Porsche History and Heritage Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1951) Ferdinand Porsche’s creations for Lohner, Austro-Daimler, Daimler-Benz and Steyr had a fundamental effect on the development of Porsche Although the first Porsche was not made until 1948, the name of Porsche was already well known worldwide thanks to his revolutionary designs of engines and vehicles People generally talk about “Porsche designs” even though they were created while he was employed at other companies Ferry Porsche (1909-1998) Ferry Porsche once said, “At the beginning I looked around but couldn’t find the car of my dreams So I decided to build it myself.” A few interesting facts: • Porsche is currently the most profitable carmaker in the world • Porsche is owned and controlled exclusively by the Porsche family Although shares of Porsche stock are available, only non voting stock can be purchased • Porsche began as an engineering company • Porsche Cars North America is currently the largest market for Porsche • There are approximately 214 US and Canadian dealerships • The largest US markets are currently southern California and south Florida • Two-thirds (about 70%) of all Porsches ever built are still in use **Facts above were current as of January 9, 2009.** Page 1.2 The father of Porsche as a car manufacturer left his mark on the history, development and attitude of the company After leaving school, Ferry Porsche completed a one-year practical course at Bosch in Stuttgart After this, he spent a year on theoretical, intensive private instruction on automotive technology and was one of his father’s first staff members at the design office in Stuttgart As Ferdinand’s son, Ferry’s responsibilities increased steadily In 1934, Porsche was contracted to build a Volkswagen (Porsche Type 60), and he coordinated the implementation of test drives The steadily growing demands on his father for the construction of the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg led to Ferry Porsche becoming the acting manager of the entire operation in Zuffenhausen Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Porsche A Historical Timeline 1900 – The Lohner-Porsche Electric Car debuted at the World’s Fair in

its 25th anniversary Page 1.4 Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Porsche The Crest Dr Wendelin Wiedeking - Kaizen “If all you need is a badge, we can give you one too.” ® The quote above, allegedly stated in 1952 at New York City’s “21” restaurant, was Ferry Porsche’s response to a request by Max Hoffman As the first Porsche importer in America, Hoffman felt Porsche should have an emblem on their vehicles Ferry Porsche laid out a napkin on the table, picked up a pen and began to draw Crest Information The crest has three parts – the Porsche family name, and emblems of the state of Wurttemberg and the city of Stuttgart More specifically: • The red and black bars with antlers originate from the coat of arms of the state of Wurttemberg • The horse originates from Stuttgart’s coat of arms Kaizen Restructuring • Modern cost centers instead of centralization • Manufacturing areas (ex - body shop, paint shop or the assembly department) are managed as independent company sectors • Sector managers are responsible for planning, logistics and quality assurance Interesting Facts: • The name Stuttgart is derived from the city’s history of fine horse breeding Legend has it that in 950, Duke Ludolph of Swabia founded a horse breeding center and riding school on the spot of present day Stuttgart • The crest appeared for the first time in 1953 on the horn button In 1957 it appeared on the front hood of a 356 coupe Production Times • 911 production time reduced by as much as 50% • Warehouse inventory reduced by more than 40% • Production employee statistically builds cars per year (Previously 4.9) Notes: Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Page 1.5 Porsche Company Locations Zuffenhausen Porsche has – although deeply rooted in Germany – always been an export-oriented company Subsidiaries, importers and official retailers today form a strong international network – the world-wide Porsche family In Germany, several offices are located in suburbs around the city of Stuttgart Zuffenhausen is Corporate Headquarters It is also the production facilities for a limited number of Boxsters and all 911s Due to space restrictions, this facility makes a unique use of space by using a bridge over the street to move cars from building to building Engines and custom upholstery are created here Ludwigsburg Leipzig Sales, Marketing and AfterSales are located in Ludwigsburg A workforce of around 700 ensures the distribution of Porsche vehicles and spare parts to the dealer network and optimum services for Porsche customers around the globe Page 1.6 Leipzig is the home to Cayenne final assembly It was previously the home of Carrera GT production This location is also home to the Customer Center, which is known as “The Diamond.” On each of the five levels of the building, visitors are able to rediscover the multi-faceted character of the Porsche brand For those customers who participate in the European Delivery program, the Customer Center offers the most intimate encounter with the world of Porsche Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Body Construction 911 (997) Sheet steel Tailored blanks High-strength steel Ultra-high-strength steel Aluminum Information! For the 911 Carrera (997) models the front hood is aluminum, on the 911 Turbo/GT2 (997) the front hood and doors are aluminum As of MY 2010 911 GT3 (997) also had aluminum doors Body Structure The purpose of redesigning the body structure of the new 911 Carrera/S (997) was to increase torsional and flexural rigidity in comparison with the previous 911 Carrera (996) and also to further improve crash safety in a frontal or offset crash (frontal crash with head-on collision on one side of the vehicle) The designers also managed to enlarge the passenger compartment without changing the exterior dimensions These improvements were achieved with four main changes: • Use of the spot welding/bonding method • Redesigning of the joint areas (A-pillar, roof frame connection) • Use of a new bulkhead cross member made of boron steel • Optimization of the upper load path for transmission of forces in frontal and side impacts The Porsche body structure is still executed as a lightweight design with high-strength and maximum strength steels This concept ensures excellent passive safety Page 5.4 The spot welding/bonding method used to join the side sections and the floor assembly has further increased the torsional and flexural rigidity of the body structure (torsional values increased by 8% while flexural rigidity rose by 40%) The redesigned joint areas (A-pillar joins, connection for the roof frame tube) have also contributed to these excellent results The bulkhead cross member in the front of the vehicle has been completely re-engineered and is now made of boron steel This has allowed the cross section to be matched to the package conditions and available footwell space and at the same time the rigidity increased The increased rigidity of the cross member and the improved anchorage have significantly reduced footwell penetration in the event of a crash The reduction in the cross section has also allowed the anchorage for the pedals and the pedals themselves to be moved forwards by 10 mm, thereby providing taller drivers with more legroom The seat anchorage has been lowered by 10 mm as part of the redesign of the body This results in a lower seat position, which lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle and provides more headroom for taller passengers Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Body Construction Panamera (970) Magnesium Aluminum Mild steel High-strength low-alloy steel Multiphase steel Boron steel Body Structure The Panamera body shell is a hybrid structure, which is made up of several grades of advanced high-strength steels, stainless steel, aluminum and magnesium Advantages: • Low vehicle weight - Vehicle mass: approx 3858 lbs (1750 kg) - Bodyshell mass: approx 772 lbs (350 kg) • Low fuel consumption • Optimum weight distribution • Excellent occupant protection This fully galvanized body makes for an extremely robust passenger cell and provides excellent impact protection for the occupants A longitudinal and cross member structure at the front, patented by Porsche, absorbs deformation energy through two load paths that lie directly above one another This structure then distributes the forces, minimizing deformation of the passenger compartment As a second load path beside the longitudinal member structure, the aluminum subframe of the front axle increases passive safety by means of a defined deformation In the event of minor collisions, impact elements mounted to the front structure protect the bodyshell These are easy to replace which helps keep repair costs reasonable In the case of a more severe collision, a rigid bulkhead cross member prevents deformation of the footwell area and improves protection for occupants’ lower extremities The reinforced doors also help to stiffen the overall structure In the event of a frontal crash, the collision energy is transferred via an upper load path around the passenger cell, through the doors and to the rear of the vehicle Manufacturing the front hood, fenders, doors and rear lid in aluminum also helped to reduce weight and consequently fuel consumption Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Page 5.5 Body Construction Cayenne (9PA) High-strength steel High-strength steel Sheet steel Aluminum Tailored Blanks Body Structure – Cayenne (9PA) Through optimized design and use of the most modern materials, the Cayenne achieves enviable static and dynamic body stiffness This is due to the particular competence of Porsche in the area of lightweight steel construction The extraordinary body stiffness provides the ideal basis for precise suspension tuning since body twist and vibration caused by the road surface irregularities are minimized by the stiff body structure Structural and Material Concepts A side and cross member structure intelligently distributes forces arising from a crash Three tiers absorb deformation energy, distributing the forces to the rigid floor side member, body sill, tunnel and doorframe areas, thus reducing passenger compartment deformation The front chassis subframe made of high-strength hydroformed steel tubes forms the bottom load-absorbing tier The center load absorbing tier consists of the joined front side member and the front bulkhead cross member Page 5.6 The top load-absorbing tier is made of the frame side member The result is a tough passenger compartment offering a high level of rider protection The high-impact zones with limited allowable deformation in a crash, such as the doors and doorsills, are reinforced with highstrength steel The parts are made in a press quenching process The sheet metal is hotstamped and then cooled according to specification The treated material then has superior shape and strength characteristics An innovation is the use of multi-phase steels in the body These steels are used both when high strength is required and when complex drawn parts must be used Examples include the rear area of the front cross member, the cross member in the front wall, the seat rail and heel cross members, the door sill inner section and tunnel crash reinforcement Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Body Construction Cayenne (92A) Body Structure – New For MY 2011 Cayenne (92A) Further developments in steel processing techniques have allowed the use of extremely thin-walled steels, which have very high rigidity values in order to comply with all relevant safety regulations The weight enhancements are not restricted to the crash-relevant structures of the bodyshell The use of aluminum for the hood and tailgate and new structures in the door also contribute to a significant reduction in the body weight The use of high-strength materials and hot-formed steels also makes a decisive contribution to reducing the overall vehicle weight Lightweight construction measures on the body contributed to reducing the weight of the vehicle by 245 lbs (111 kg) compared with previous models The doors, hood and tailgate account for a reduction of 86 lbs (39 kg) alone In spite of the increased level of safety, it was possible to improve the driving dynamics as well as the fuel consumption values The design of the vehicle body is crucial for a high degree of passive safety Modern metal processing techniques were used in the design of individual body elements on the new Cayenne models The forces generated when an accident occurs are dissipated in a defined way throughout the longitudinal and cross member structures in the front and rear of the car The multi-phase steels that are used ensure a high degree of strength, specific deformation properties and optimal energy absorption Reinforcements made from high-strength, hot-formed steel also protect occupants in the event of a side impact They surround the passenger cell like a cage and provide extreme dimensional stability that makes a decisive contribution to ensuring the preservation of the interior and protection of the occupants Hot-formed steel that has the required dimensional stability and deformation proper-ties is used in the area around the B-pillar, for example This new material made it possible to implement both requirements in a single component The efficient use of heat-formed steel in the roof structure also considerably reduces the weight compared to the previous model while simultaneously improving safety All elements of the vehicle body are designed and joined in such a way that the forces from an impact are initially dampened and then absorbed in a defined manner, protecting the occupants Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Page 5.7 Body Construction Carrera GT (980) Aluminum Magnesium Stainless steel Body Structure The body of the Carrera GT employs the highly innovative and expensive technique of body construction using carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP) This type of body with a monocoque as the core of the vehicle and connection for attachment of important components originates from racing car construction A further innovation is the equipment support beam bolted directly to the monocoque, which also is made entirely of CFRP, and carries the entire drive train (engine, transmission and rear axle) Notes: Page 5.8 Introduction To Porsche Collision Repair Collision Repair Guidelines Subject Page Safety Guidelines General Guidelines Joining
