Hello esteemed members of the ARPCA,

So, the question I put to you is, what do you get someone for their 75th birthday? Well, if you’re Porsche, you build yourself a 900 volt hypercar. Dubbed the “Mission X,” it points to a possible direction Porsche may take in creating an all-electric successor to high-end low production run models like the 959, Carrera GT, and 918 Spyder. They haven’t yet said whether or not this car is destined for production. Even if this vehicle doesn’t show up in showrooms for purchase, it is a very impressive demonstration of Porsche’s cutting-edge technology. You can read more about the Mission X at Ars Technica, Auto Blog, and from Porsche themselves.

Switching direction from the future of motoring, we have an opportunity to look towards the past and celebrate the present. I am, of course, talking about the 2023 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Below you will find a registration guide for this year’s events.

The Porsche touring crew has finalized venues for the rest of the year and all dates can be found on the calendar at ARPCA.com

Thank you and here’s to seeing you out there,

Shawn Cressler – Web Support. Sharon Lunney – Newsletter Editor.
