Porsche Says “NO” To Smaller Version Of The Cayenne

Autocar.co.uk reported on Monday that Porsche has ruled out the baby version of the Porsche Cayenne: The Porsche Cayenne will be the smallest SUV built by the manufacturer, as it fears a smaller car would steal sales from the bigger car’s sales. Company insiders have told Autocar that they believe that there is strong evidence […]

Porsche Panamera Technology Overview Video

I thought this video was pretty interesting. It’s a little dry presentation wise, but the cutaway car, plus the graphic examples show off the technology really well. Didn’t realize that the driver position in the Panamera was exactly the same as the 911.

Porsche 928 S4 GTE

I’m a bit of a sucker for cool Porsche stories. I still think about one I read in a copy of Excellence a long time ago about a pristine 356 hidden in a mountainside in Cuba (I think it was Cuba). Never was able to find the story again, despite a lot of hours of […]

St. Patrick’s Day Porsches

Sorry, I’m a little late to the game on St. Patty’s Day. I guess I’m not a huge celebrator. I know plenty of people that dig the green beer and Irish pubs, but that has never really been my scene. For a long time, I just thought today was a day to avoid getting the […]

He admitted that the positive reaction to the 918 had swayed opinion within Porsche. “There is no one inside Porsche who doesn’t want to build the 918,” Macht said. “The response has […]

New Porsche Cayenne Web Special – Unbelievable!

I attended a Google/YouTube event yesterday and was completely floored by one of the examples the Google Maps dude showed us. It’s a crazy mashup of Google Maps along with images pulled from Panoramio that are tagged with the location they were taken by users who uploaded them. The site is a Web Special for […]

Porsche 918 Spyder Concept ROCKS!

I’m sure you’ve seen plenty on the Porsche 918 Spyder concept car released recently at the Geneva Motor Show. I thought I’d throw my two cents in about the car. Simply put…it ROCKS!!! (end of post, no need to read any further) The Porsche 918 Spyder concept is an ultra-efficient, low-emission, mid-engine supercar that pushes […]
