New Porsche Clubs Established
Further new Porsche Clubs were established in the review year –
in Bulgaria, the Philippines, Jordan and Hungary. There are now
550 Porsche Clubs in over 60 countries, with nearly 115,000 mem-
bers. Every fifth Porsche on the world’s roads is driven by a Porsche
Club member. The organization is thus among the largest one-make
automobile clubs in the world, with a long and proud tradition.
Impressive evidence of the Porsche Club Organization’s nurturing of
tradition in the review year and for its steady growth and well-founded
strength was the 50th jubilee of the “Porsche Club of America”. In
June 2005, more than 5,000 Porsche enthusiasts met in Hershey,
Pennsylvania, for a superlative concours d’élégance. Almost 1,000
Porsches were on display, including rare, historic special models,
competition cars and of course examples of almost every production
ever to leave the Porsche factory. To commemorate this anniversary,
Porsche built a special series of fifty 911 cars for members of the
Porsche Club of America, an example of which was ceremonially
unveiled during the parade.
During the review year, one of the main areas of activity was once
again Club sport. In close cooperation with the German Porsche Club,
Porsche’s German sales subsidiary organized the “Porsche Sports
Cup” series for members and other enthusiastic Porsche owners.
At these two-day events, road-licensed Porsche sports cars and
those that have been modified for racing are eligible to enter.
Records were set up at the popular “Porsche Club Days Spa Francor-
champs” in Belgium and the “Porsche Club Festival Brands Hatch” in
Great Britain. At the first event, no fewer than 658 Porsche vehicles
formed a cavalcade around the famous racing circuit and qualified for
an entry in the Guinness Book of Records, and at the Club sport series
run by “Porsche Club Italia, a “Boxster Cup Lady” was introduced.
The Classic Clubs were also active again. To celebrate its 30th anni-
versary, the “Porsche 356 Club Sweden” decided to visit landmarks
in the career of Ferdinand Porsche. In twenty Porsche 356 cars,
club members drove 4,000 kilometers through Europe to his birth-
place in Gmünd, to the Porsche family’s home in Zell am See and to
Zuffenhausen and Leipzig, where the factories were visited.

With almost 115,000 members, the Porsche Club organization is among
the largest one-make clubs in the world, with a long tradition.
