Christophorus is the official customer magazine of Porsche AG. The magazine is currently distributed in ten languages and is one of the oldest customer publications in the world. Since its first edition in 1952, all issues have been numbered consecutively. The name Christophorus is based on Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travellers.
