Porsche factory driver: André Lotterer

From the very first moment onward, André Lotterer was destined for motorsport: His father, Henri Lotterer, had his own racing team in Belgium, and this led to Lotterer growing up between motorsport and touring cars. At seven-years-old, Henri Lotterer sat his son in a go-kart for the first time – and immediately realized his potential.


At 14 years-old, André was already winning the junior world championship. So, making the switch into formula sports went quick: at 16, André participated in the Formula BMW ADAC championship and immediately won in two consecutive years. His success spoke for itself and drew the attention of Formula 1 teams.


During his time in Formula 1, Lotterer achieved a few victories, yet he was still mainly chosen as reserve and test driver. Following his motto ‘No race, no life!’, André decided to take the plunge and participate in the Japanese GT series, to promote his abilities and career further.


For seven years, André Lotterer battled for podium finishes in the Japanese race series until he provided a great debut showing in Le Mans and drew the attention of Audi, who employed him as factory driver. Here he spent another seven years, but now on an international level with the World Endurance Championship. As Audi pulls away from the WEC, Lotterer makes the switch to Porsche.

Racing for Porsche fills me with pride, and motivates me!

The switch to Porsche is a great opportunity for the passionate collector of classic cars. He presents his treasures on his Social Media channels on a regular basis: from the 256 Speedster to the 911 Carrera RS 2.7, all the way to the 911 Carrera GT. He doesn’t only collect them, but is well-versed in their history.


No wonder then, that he dreams of winning the overall victory with Porsche in Le Mans. After all, it’s the 75th anniversary of Porsche and the 100th anniversary of Le Mans. One way or another, history will be made and André Lotterer wants to be a part of it.
