Today, a new harmonised set of fuel labels will appear across Europe. They will give drivers better information on the suitability of fuels for their vehicles wherever they travel in the EU, helping them avoid misfuelling and informing on the environmental impact of their choice.

The bustling company founder Ekkehard ZIMMERMANN, his equally racing enthusiastic son Patrick and the entire team leave no stone unturned in order to emphasize the slogan "Nothing is impossible". In the 1980s - among other things - dp motorsport attained fame almost all over the world by the realization of an eccentric (because seemingly unthinkable) own creation: a "station wagon version" of the Porsche 944 named Cargo. Around half of the eight built vehicles were sold to Scandinavia. Customers can now choose from a very large range of "backdating" variants: starting with the simple, narrow F-model replicas with approx. 280 HP to the absolute lightweight racing machines in the look of the legendary 2.8 RSR with duck tail and 325 HP, no customer request remains unfulfilled.
