I’ve been mulling over the Porsche Boxster E since the trio of cars showed up at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum in Berlin in May. Two Boxster E models were represented: one car containing two electric motors, and two cars with just one electric motor. The tests of the day were successful as far as Porsche […]

June 23, 2011 by
This is no surprise and one of the true benefits to large auto conglomerates like the Volkswagen Group. They’re able to take the best of the best and build out models much more quickly and efficiently under other brands.

I’m usually on the fence a bit about Jay Leno and his car related content, but this clip from Jay Leno’s Garage is a pretty interesting walk around of several Porsche race cars by drivers and Porsche staff. I especially liked the Patrick Long segment.
Porsche Cayenne Lane Change Assist

February 6, 2009 by
Before you dismiss this as “too technical”, you have to watch the video.
