Remember the awesomeness of the 2008 Porsche Turbo?  You remember, that 500 HP 4.8 liter turbocharged V8 powered beast.  Yep, that one.  Well, Porsche wasn’t satisfied at all.  To that effect, they are bringing back the Cayenne Turbo S - with a power increase.
How does 550 HP sound?  Porsche managed to squeeze an extra 50 [...]

It’s Porsche’s turn to announce a big old recall, and they’ve responded in style.  5,965 2008 Porsche Cayenne SUV’s are being recalled - which is a lot for a luxury vehicle.  Only vehicles built in the beginning of 2008 are affected, and only the V6 powered models. 
The problem? During driving, the engine may move [...]

Seven minutes and thirty-two seconds.  That beats cars like the Ferrari F430 & 599 GTB, as well as the Lamborghini Gallardo by over 10 seconds.  It matches times set by the Carrera GT and Pagani Zonda F - not bad for a non-supercar.  The more I hear about the Porsche 911 GT2, the more deeply [...]

After the brochure leak yesterday, Porsche decided to throw in the towel on 911 GT2 secrecy.  The fine folks at Porsche released the first official images of the upcoming super Porsche, and it is beautiful.  Remember, this beast is putting out 530 horsepower from it’s twin-turbocharged flat 6 - a 50 horsepower jump from [...]

The Porsche Panamera is a subject of hot debate among Porsche enthusiasts / purists.  Many say that Porsche has no business producing a sedan - two door sports cars is the only market that Porsche should play in.  If anyone is reminded by the release of the Cayenne a few years back, you’ll know that [...]

If the Porsche 911 Turbo isn’t ridiculously fast enough for you, but you still want a Porsche, your wait is almost over.  The Porsche 911 GT2 is due out this November - and it’s even better than we expected.  ( In case you missed them, you can see the spy shots here.)  What can you [...]

The Porsche 911 GT2, spy shot to your right, is an even faster, more bad-ass version of Porsche’s iconic 911. The GT2 is even faster than the 911 Turbo, which borders on supercar territory itself. The GT2 looks fantastic - it has a new rear bumper, larger intakes up front, and of [...]

A great commercial from Porsche - though it’s too racy to air here in the US. It did air in Europe, from what I understand. For those of you who are at work, or can’t view video for whatever reason, here’s the jist. A sexy woman sees a Porsche that she likes, flashes [...]

Porsche has a great philosophy, and it’s done them well over the years.  If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  Since Porsche starting making cars, they’ve stayed true to this, and the end result is that their cars continue to get better and better.  What you see here is the first shot of the [...]

Porsche is the most famous ‘play-it-safe’ automaker in the world. They find a product that works, and stick with it. Changes are minimal, and usually refining in nature. The Porsche Boxter sticks to that program completely. Take a look at the first spy shots of the 2008 Porsche Boxter, courtesy [...]

There are some cosmetic differences, including new headlights to conform to new European standards. Owners of the 2008 Cayenne will also benefit from 15% better fuel mileage vs the 2006 model - not a [...]
