If you’re a die-hard Porsche enthusiast, you’d best get yourself to Los Angeles’ Petersen Automotive Museum this Saturday, Feb. 3, to check out its new exhibit, “The Porsche Effect.” Fifty of the most iconic Porsche cars of all time will be on display in the Mullin Grand Salon.

These vehicles will include significant street and racecars along with artifacts and historical documents, accompanied by an all-new Porsche VaultTour showcasing some of the marque’s rarest vehicles.

For seven decades, the Stuttgart-based automaker has been overwhelmingly successful on racetracks and in dealership showrooms around the world, thanks to a combination of innovative engineering, an evolutionary design and the resulting dynamic brand that has inspired diehard fans for generations.

Some of the vehicles on display include the 1938 Berlin-Rome Type 64 race car, a 906 racecar, the 919 endurance racer, the Petersen Collection’s 901 and Continental, a rare model “X83” Turbo S Flachbau 964; and a rally-spec Type 953 911.

Other models include the world-beating Gulf 917K, the Jägermeister 962, the legendary Porsche 935 K3 Le Mans winner belonging to Petersen vice-chairman Bruce Meyer and more. On exclusive loan from The Porsche Museum will be the 928 H50 Study—a rare four-door prototype of the 928.
