The Porsche Edith 911 has reached the top of Ojos de la Salado, which stands at 22,093 feet. So Porsche, the leading German sports car manufacturer, celebrated the 30th anniversary. It is because of the launch of its famous Porsche 911 with an unprecedented achievement. The company drove a 911 to the highest point ever reached by a car of this model. The summit of Ojos de la Salado, which located on the border of Argentina and Chile. It is at an altitude of 22,093 feet (6,734 meters) above sea level. Porsche usually prefers to display its cars in luxurious showrooms. However, this time it showed this car covered in dust after reaching the top of this mountain. The car made an exceptional journey to the top of the mountain. This mountain contains the highest active volcano in the world. Which in turn, becomes an attractive destination for off-road adventurers. The Mount Everest is a magnet for mountaineering enthusiasts.

A Great Achievement & Unprecedented Fame

For the first time, a 911 family car reached this rugged mountain peak. The Porsche Edith 911 is similar in design to Volkswagen Beetles. It managed to cross the western edge of the volcano, setting an unprecedented record. For any car to reach this point, it should be well prepared. Porsche did not explain the exact reason for modifying its iconic sports car to reach such heights. But it is possible that the motivation was the famous quote by the English climber George Mallory. He quoted clearly that because “it is there”. During this memorial trip, Porsche used the Edith 911 as a primary car. In addition, he used a backup car named Doris. These two cars celebrated 30 years of the 911 all-wheel drive. Both cars based on the 911 4S all-wheel drive model. However, they have the 3.0-liter boxer engine with 450 horsepower and a 7-speed manual transmission.
