HAVING HELMED THE design department of Porsche for over 20 years, Michael Mauer is more than sensitive to what makes customers fall in love with its cars over and over again.
Mauer has had a hand in the development of all the current Porsche models and is responsible for the design of every 911 model since he started work at Porsche in 2004. In this insightful chat with Robb Report Singapore, he shares with us some deep thoughts on constantly elevating and evolving the aesthetic allure of Porsche.

As such, we have defined parameters that ensure that a Porsche can always be recognised as part of the Porsche family.
