Wired features “10 Cars Way Too Far Ahead of Their Time” – I ran across this post this weekend in connection with an article about Toyota’s next generation hybrid. The 1st car on the list was the first known hybrid production car (pictured above) built in 1898 by Ferdinand Porsche. The 7th car on the […]

2 more lives saved by a Porsche – What is it about serious crashes in Porsches? Lots of dumb drivers I’m sure. Fortunately a number of them end with serious injuries being avoided (which I’m unresearchingly chalking up to driving a Porsche). This time a couple of teenagers were out joyriding in daddy’s Boxster, took […]

Porsche Panamera convertible may be in the works – Starting to see the rumor mill churn out reports of a possible 2-door Panamera convertible version. Automotive News is also speculating that a 4-door Panamera convertible could make it’s way to the lineup. I’ve always loved the Ferrari Mondial with it’s 2+2 coupe setup. I could […]

Reinhold Carl, the managing director of Audi Singapore, told reporters, “If the cost is lower, it will be more manageable.” This was after he mentioned that teams had to lay out “well over a hundred […]

Man reunited with his Porsche after 5 years – This is one of the great things about Porsche cars. By and large, they don’t tend to travel long distances from where they are sold. This enables a story like this to happen. Evidently Bob Minnott, a Seattle, WA resident, sold his 1996 Porsche 993 C4S, […]
Porsche Web Perfection
September 23, 2009 by
This morning I had an email from the “Porsche Team” waiting for me in my inbox. It was announcing the new Panamera.com web site. I fully expected this to be another model specific site, which it is, only with some great Porsche history additions. The first screen you see is the one above presenting examples […]
Porsche Boxster Speedster Pics
September 22, 2009 by
The Internet was abuzz late last week with reports and spy shots of a coming Porsche Boxster Speedster. It appears the car has a redesigned front bumper, new side intakes and a larger rear spoiler. You also have the usual speedster “hump” over the retracted roof (at least based on the pictures I’ve seen). As […]

After a week off, we’re back in action on the Weekly Porsche Wrap. I’m sure this is one of the least favorite weekly features on PorschePerfect.com, but it’s one of my favorite because it keeps me up on the weird Porsche happenings in the world. Here’s what I have for this week: No more mafia […]
