Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV: REVs Porsche Program

Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV: REVs Porsche Program


So what’s all that tech stuff on this 1960 Porsche Abarth Carrera GTL? Looks rather advanced for 51 years ago. And it is, because this car is part of a fascinating program that involves Stanford University. Well known collector (and Porsche maven) Miles Collier has partnered with the institution to create a program called REVs.


The point is to bring an intellectual approach to the study of all aspects of automobiles. That includes the engineering side and as a result, the young students at Stanford have been instrumenting automobiles of all types to study their dynamics.


This work involves very detailed information, hence the real time telemetry on this Porsche at Rennsport…very modern data collection from a classic Porsche.
