Porsche has long offered factory customizations for it’s cars. I’m pretty sure they’ll do about anything to a car, short of gold plating it (although I’m guessing if you walked in with a blank check they’d probably undertake that as well). One of my favorite customizations was the factory slant nose 911 conversions from the […]
Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3
April 15, 2009 by
Porsche Design is releasing a 3rd edition of it’s customized vehicle line. I didn’t even realize they had any previous editions until today. The first two were the Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1 and the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2. The Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3 joins the ranks later next month […]
Stormtrooper Porsche
April 10, 2009 by
Porsche tuner Vorsteiner has recently released their V-TR Edition Aero Package for the Porsche 911 Turbo. When done up in white, it gives the car kind of a stormtrooper look. The kit was designed as a whole to provide improved air flow and added downforce. This not only improves aerodynamics, but also increases air flow […]
Buy the Death Race 3000 Porsche
April 7, 2009 by
I don’t know how legitimate this is. I have a hard time thinking this would appear on a Craigslist posting. eBay I could understand since these types of cars pop up on there quite a bit. Needless to say, it would be pretty cool to have something like this. Only $28,000 too, which again, seems […]
RUF – The KING of Porsche Tuners
April 3, 2009 by
Well, this is the last post in my 7 Days of Porsche Tuners series, and I’ve saved my personal favorite, and the one I feel is the best, for last. Today’s tuner is RUF, a German (ha! of course!) tuner located in Pfaffenhausen, Germany. RUF was started by Alois Ruf, Sr in 1939 as AUTO […]
Strosek Driving Design
April 2, 2009 by
I know I’m a little behind on finishing the 7 Days of Porsche Tuners series, but I think you’ll find I’ve saved a couple of the best for last. Today’s tuner is Strosek. Founded in 1982 by Vittorio Strosek (who is still involved with the company today), Strosek Driving Design started with a redesign of […]
Sportec – Swiss Missile Producer
March 27, 2009 by
There’s a reason Sportec is considered one of the best, if not THE best Porsche tuner in Switzerland. Their designs are well thought out and their components are of the highest caliber in both fit and finish. The 911 GT2 based car pictured above was dubbed “The Swiss Missle” by one blogger. The Performance stage […]
Techart’s Rolling Art Gallery
March 27, 2009 by
I first saw a Techart treatment on a 1982 911 SC (I think I’ve actually had it in one of my Tempting Porsche installments). The owner had applied a 1997 993 Turbo S factory OEM steel body conversion to the car and it looked amazing. Just like a late 90’s 911 Turbo. As it turns […]
Mansory – Learn from the Swiss
March 26, 2009 by
It’s not a surprise with quality and designs like the one above that Mansory is one of Germany’s top tuners of Porsche cars. They have a broad range of capabilities that stretch from the subtle to a step above insane. Mansory recently acquired Rinspeed’s Porsche tuning division. They have continued the tradition of Rinspeed quality […]
9ff – Fastest Porsche Tuner
March 25, 2009 by
Today’s 7 Days of Porsche Tuners features 9ff. I didn’t realize it until I started looking for more info on 9ff, but they have some pretty amazing accomplishments racked up. The biggest so far has to be the world record for “fastest streetlegal car in the world”. They accomplished this, for the second time, in […]
