Michael Mauer, Porsche chief of design, talks to 9WERKS!

Porsche’s head of design, Michael Mauer, shares an in-depth conversation with 9WERKS to mark his two-decade anniversary at the helm of Style Porsche. Mr Mauer’s achievements in that time are remarkable, having overseen the creation of the Panamera, Macan and Taycan models, as well as the evolution of the 911 through the 991 and 992-generations, as well as the creation of the mighty 918.
