Porsche 956 headlines new Curvistan Bangkok exhibit

Curvistan Bangkok celebrated its first anniversary with a thrilling new exhibition: Raceborn, a curated showcase of Porsche's storied motorsport heritage.

The Raceborn exhibit features some of the most iconic and rarely seen cars from Porsche's racing archive, with one highlight being the Porsche 956, which was shipped over from the Porsche Museum in Germany. Its presence in Bangkok marks a rare opportunity for visitors to see a true icon of motorsport up close.

The Porsche 956 combined cutting-edge aerodynamics with a lightweight aluminium monocoque chassis

First introduced in 1982, the 956 was Porsche’s answer to the FIA's new Group C technical regulations, combining cutting-edge aerodynamics with a lightweight aluminium monocoque chassis - the first of its kind for any Porsche race car.

Powered by a twin-turbocharged, flat-six engine derived from the 936, the 956 was capable of an astonishing 365 km/h top speed down the Mulsanne straight; it quickly established itself as a dominant force on the endurance circuit, capturing a string of victories at Le Mans.

The Raceborn exhibit is now open to the public and will run until 15 November 2025

In addition, among the contemporary race cars on display is the latest 992-generation 911 GT3 R, a staple in Porsche's global customer racing programme and built for endurance events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Nurburgring, and Spa, as well as a 911 Carrera finished in a specially commissioned livery inspired by the 956 LH adds further visual flair to the exhibition.

The Raceborn exhibition is now open to the public and will run until 15 November 2025. Entry is free.
