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.[1] 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.
