V-8 Power with V-6 Economy: Porsche’s Cayenne’s Hybrid

No Comments 02 June 2010

The Cayenne has been a source of significant consternation for Porsche purists since its debut in 2002. On one hand, a 5,000-pound-plus sport-utility vehicle seems downright sacrilegious from a German brand that built its reputation on lightweight sports cars. On the other hand, if it weren’t for the Cayenne’s sales success, those lightweight sporting cars [...]

Panamera Convertible Back on Track

1 Comment 19 March 2010

Production of Porsche’s Panamera Convertible seems to have moved to the front burner. With Maserati’s four-seater GranCabrio convertible earning lots of envious looks, the impetus for Porsche to develop a cabriolet version of its Panamera sedan seems to have returned. Industry sites are abuzz with the news that recent patent filings indicate the once sidelined [...]

Lighter, Faster: Porsche Presents the Boxster Spyder

No Comments 07 February 2010

Porsche has gone light on it’s new Boster Spyder to improve performance. Weight is the enemy of performance.

Porsche 944 roadster rebirth?

No Comments 25 January 2010

A look at the Porsche 944. Porsche’s 944. It was front-engined. It had in-line four-cylinder power. How 911 owners hated it. In the fullness of time though, it turned out to be a great little entry-level performance car, especially due to its front-engine, transaxle layout – which equated to near perfect 50/50 static weight distribution.
