April 2007

Each month, Panorama magazine brings you the best from the world
of Porsche. Races, vintage car shows, technical articles, we cover it all!

At Panorama, we never have room for all the pictures we'd like to
share with our readers. Here are some photos that just wouldn't fit
into the magazine this month.

Featured in the April issue is a rare insider look at Porsche's racing department. For this month's Gallery we show more of Leonard Turner's images from that unusual photo op (even cell phones with photo capability are forbidden there).


We refer you to the magazine for even more articles. How do you get your copy? Join PCA, Porsche Panorama is a prime benefit of membership!
