For three quarters of a century, Porsche has been a synonym for exceptional sports cars. The 8th of June 1948 is the date on which the brand was born. On that Tuesday, the first car bearing the Porsche name received its road approval: the 356 “No. 1” Roadster. On the occasion of the anniversary, the “Cercle des Amis de la Collection de Voitures de S.A.S. le Prince de Monaco”* has organised a unique exhibition of Porsche sports cars. From 20 February to 20 March 2023, the exhibition can be seen in the new rooms of the car museum that were opened a few months ago in Port Hercule. There, visitors will be able to enjoy a dozen cars with cult status, including six racing cars that are on loan from the collection of the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer.

“75 years of Porsche sports cars” is the first special exhibition at the new site of the Collection de Voitures de S.A.S. le Prince de Monaco, which is now situated at the legendary Formula 1 course. “It is an honour for us to be providing half of the cars for this special exhibition. We are very happy to celebrate our sports car anniversary with six milestones in the Principality of Monaco,” says Achim Stejskal, Head of Porsche Heritage and Museum.
