?si=tpfAaBQXft87hNuqYour first clue in the hunt for eight hidden details in the film is a vehicle license plate that takes you back to the start. Did you spot it? To help you get into the mood for spotting the hidden details within the film, we’re revealing the first exclusively on Porsche Stories – but the seven that will follow after it are for you to seek out. Keep checking in here over the next couple of days as we start to reveal all the answers.#1 K 45 286Did you spot this reference to a fabled Porsche vehicle license plate on the 930 Turbo?',The first ever Porsche to be launched (known as the 356 Nr 1) was also the first Porsche to get a vehicle licence plate number – K 45 286 Photo: Porsche'If you got this one then you can consider yourself a Porsche expert with distinction. K 45 286 is a vehicle licence plate number that is attached – both physically and emotionally – to a Porsche of great significance. In fact, the one that started it all – the 356 Nr 1 Roadster, which was the first-ever prototype bearing the name Porsche. When it rolled out of the converted sawmill in Gmund, Austria in 1948 where it was built, surely even Ferry Porsche himself could not have predicted what lay ahead for the company founded by his father, Ferdinand, and the huge worldwide community that has built up around it.Find out about the 356 and other legendary Porsche two-door sportscars #2 Mercedes-Benz 500EThe keen-eyed among you will have spotted the Mercedes-Benz 500E (W124) parked on the side of the road – a car that Porsche know-how played a big part in creating',The Mercedes 500E was a high-performance saloon developed by Porsche AG for Daimler-Benz AG and launched in 1991 Photo: Porsche'Why is there a Mercedes here among all the Porsche sportscars? The answer is simple. When Daimler-Benz AG, then owners of Mercedes, decided to produce a fast, touring saloon, it didn’t have to go far when it sought help in doing so. To another district of Stuttgart, in fact. In 1988, Porsche AG – like Mercedes, headquartered in the German city – were handed the contract to develop a new, fast version of the W124 model in the form of the Mercedes-Benz 500E. In 1991, the new car went on sale and immediately wowed with a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of just 6.1 seconds and top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h.#3 Porsche tractor Is that really a Porsche in the background there? It certainly is. Many decades ago, Porsche-badged tractors sold in their tens of thousands',A Porsche-Diesel Super tractor at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, driven by automotive journalist, Andrew Frankel Photo: Porsche'If you know, you know. The next little surprise we asked you to spot was the Porsche-Diesel Super tractor. Many people are indeed surprised when they find out Porsche was involved in making tractors. In fact, the company has history in the agricultural vehicle sector – Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of Porsche AG, designed tractors back in the 1930s. The beautiful model you see in the image shot here at the Goodwood Festival of Speed was made under licence by Mannesmann when tractor production restarted in Germany after World War II. Between 1956 and 1963 it’s estimated more than 125,000 Porsche-Diesel tractors were made.

The pink pig keyring alludes to the famous Porsche 917/20 ‘Pink Pig’ race car. Its legendary livery design was another from the fertile imagination of Porsche designer Anatole ‘Tony’ Lapine, who came up with the design – based on the different cuts of meat from a pig – for the car when it was entered at Le Mans in 1971. That it remains one of the most recognisable of all Porsche motorsport liveries today is even more remarkable when you take into account that not only did the Porsche 917/20 ‘Pink Pig’ fail to finish in its debut at the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans, it never raced again in anger. Discover the tale of the Porsche 917/20 ‘Pink Pig’#5 The Duck Did you manage to quack the code on this one? The duck sticker on this window is a reference to the groundbreaking ‘ducktail’ rear aerodynamic wing, devised by Porsche',In 1972, the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 became the first ever production car to feature the ‘ducktail’ Photo: Porsche'Did you spot this duck with a flag on a 911 rear window – and did you get the reference? An early example of Porsche aerodynamic technology, the ‘ducktail’ debuted in 1972 in the 911 Carrera RS 2.7. The first example of such an aerodynamic device on a production car, its ducktail rear wing has helped this particular model become one of the most loved of all Porsche sportscars. Some 37 years later, the ducktail would rise again when it appeared on the limited release 911 Sport Classic (type 997) in 2009.Read on to find out about the ducktail#6 Nürburgring lap record A road sign that references the Nürburgring lap record time, held by the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo race car? Subtle, huh?',Timo Bernhard and the team celebrate their record-breaking lap of the Nürburgring in a Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo race car in 2018 Photo: Porsche'Kudos if you spotted this road sign and got the reference within it. The 5:19.546 stands for 5 minutes 19.546 seconds, which is the time that 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, Timo Bernhard, set for the fastest ever lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife back in 2018. Timo achieved it at the wheel of a Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo race car – a record that still stands to this very day. Find out more about the Porsche Nürburgring lap record#7 Fried egg What’s that on the rear grille of this classic Porsche 911 Targa? A fried egg? It could only be a hint to the 'fried egg' headlights of a much later 911 model – the type 996',When it launched in 1997, the 911 (type 996) was a true gamechanger. Its water-cooled engines replaced the air-cooled version of previous models – and made an icon of the so-called ‘fried egg’ headlights Photo: Porsche'Been left with egg on your face for not spotting some of the previous hidden secrets? Hopefully you had better luck with identifying a reference to the infamous ‘fried egg’ headlights of the 911 (type 996). At its launch in 1997, the type 996 model was a true gamechanger. It was the first 911 to feature a water-cooled engine, rather than the air-cooled versions that had been central to the car for over three decades. But surprises abounded elsewhere too, not least the distinctive, all-new headlights that helped define the design of the new car and gained them the nickname ‘fried eggs’. Learn more about the ‘fried egg’ highlights and other facts about the 911 (type 996)#8 Whale tailOur final secret Porsche goodie is written in the stars – that stellar whale tail is a reference to the mighty rear aerodynamic wing of the same name',The iconic type 930 Turbo, featuring the ‘whale tail’ rear aero wing Photo: Porsche'You had to look to the night skies for our final secret Porsche reference, where the starry outline of a ‘whale tail’ alludes to a true icon of Porsche. In 1974, the 911 Carrera RS 3.0 was launched sporting a large, flat aerodynamic device on the car’s rear. It soon picked up the nickname of the ‘whale tail’. In perhaps its most famous form it helped the 930 Turbo become a bona-fide pin-up, adorning the bedroom walls of Porsche fans young and old alike – as it still does to this day. Dive into the story behind the whale tail and other iconic Porsche rear spoilers
