Mankei"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

A Saturday in May 2023 just under 2200 metres above sea level. On the 48-kilometre-long Grossglockner High Alpine Road, we deliberately skip the many parkingspots at the side of the road in order to be able to look into the impressive landscape. The anticipation is too great and the patience too short to finally be able to explore the F.A.T. Mankei, which lies shortly after the pass summit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the place where a conspicuous number of marmots cross the roads, Ferdinand Porsche has now established F.A.T. Mankei, a new place for car fans on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. At the very place where his grandfather Ferry Porsche tested cars back then, “right past the door”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of “Porsche Heights”, breathtaking vehicles gathered at the Restaurant & Caf\u00e9 on the opening weekend. Photographer Lorenzo Kikisch was on site and photographed these cars for us in black and white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first. Why “F.A.T. Mankei”?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The name F.A.T. Mankei is made up of two things. First of all, F.A.T. is a former logistics company that sponsored two Porsche 962s in the 1994 Le Mans race. As those cars were among Ferdinand Porsche’s favourites, he decided to name the company after them. The second part “Mankei” is, as already mentioned, due to the marmots, which are also called Mankei in parts of Austria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
