Urs Kuratle

Director Motorsport LMDh

Personal take

It would be hard to find many people in motorsport who have had as long and storied a career as Urs. Kicking off his journey in 1989 with victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Sauber Mercedes, he spent four years in sportscars before a move to Formula 1. Two decades later, he was back in endurance racing, after a brief spell flying helicopters in his native Switzerland. He became Director Motorsport LMDh in 2022. Overseeing the whole project, Urs can usually be found either in meetings or front and centre in the garage.

My favourite thing is the interaction with people, with a lot of human beings involved.

* All new vehicles offered by Porsche are type-approved according to WLTP. Official NEDC values derived from WLTP values are no longer available for new vehicles as of 1 January 2023 and can therefore not be provided.

Where values are indicated as ranges, they do not refer to a single, specific vehicle and are not part of the offered product range. They are only for the purposes of comparison between different vehicle tyrpes. Additional equipment and accessories (add-on parts, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. These factors, in addition to weather, traffic conditions and driving behaviour, can influence the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions, range and performance values of a vehicle.

More information about the differences between WLTP and NEDC is available at www.porsche.com/wltp.
