FAST FORWARD

We’ve enjoyed a hugely positive response to the last couple of issues of 911 & Porsche World, with a spike in subscription numbers and increased commercial interest encouraging a jump to 132 pages, starting with the issue you’re holding in your hands (or viewing on your ithingie). It’s something I was keen to see happen from the moment I was appointed as editor of the world’s best-selling monthly Porsche magazine, and gives me even more flexibility when it comes to squeezing exciting content into each feature-packed issue. Lockdown restrictions have, of course, played their part in trying to thwart best laid plans, certainly as far as photo shoots and test drives are concerned, but I’m proud of how my talented team of contributors has been able to work safely to bring you the articles and photographs across the following pages. It’s something we’re working hard to ensure continues with as little disruption as possible.

You’re reading the March issue of 911 & Porsche World, but at the time of writing these introductory words, it’s a cold, damp day in mid-january. While I’m looking forward to pulling the next few issues of the magazine together in what I sincerely hope will be a more positive twelve months for everyone, now seemed like a good time to look back at events shaping the Porsche world in 2020. Granted, it was a year most of us would like to forget, but for Porschephiles, there was much to be pleased about. Yes, really! Don’t believe me?! In this issue, we’ve charted a selection of 2020’s good news stories, month-by-month. Let’s hope for a swift return to something resembling normality. Until then, stay safe and keep well.
