Matthias Muller (57), the new Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, will be unveiling the new Porsche 911 Speedster as well as the 911 Carrera GTS Coupe and Cabriolet models at the Paris Motor Show on Thursday, September 30. An event organised by the Volkswagen Group on the evening before this autumn's leading motor show opens its doors will also see the official handover of responsibilities on the Porsche AG Board of Management. After a successful tenure Michael Macht (50) will symbolically hand the Porsche steering wheel to his successor Matthias Muller. Matthias Muller's assumption of office as Chief Executive Officer coincides with three world debuts. Only the fourth Speedster to have been built in Porsche's history is a model steeped in purist tradition and reflects the forward-looking nature of the brand, while the new Carrera GTS range with wide body and rear-wheel drive underscores all this.
