It really drives you back into the seat when you step on it. Just tested a 2012 Turbo S and this car is faster.  Cornering grip is outstanding with wide, low profile tires, all wheel drive, full supsension upgrade.  The car needs nothing.  History of upgrading and rebuilding make the mileage much less relevant for this car than others with comparable mileage.  It is essentially an all wheel drive GT2 (although the GT2's only recently reached 600 HP).  All systems function perfectly.  The stereo is a revelation, the best I've heard in a car.  JL Audio amps, gold connectors, etc. On numerous occasions, I've heard instruments on familiar songs that I never knew where there because of the clarity of this system.  It includes radio, cd and iPod. The body looks new thanks to the repaint, new windshield, etc. The interior is very clean.  Guards red body with tan interior is a classic Porsche combination.  The Blinder Laser Jammer has saved me from numerous tickets.  Clear bra protects the new paint work.  This vehicle represents exceptional value at the asking price.  I am selling reluctantly due to impending hip surgery, need to move to automatic transmission.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.

Porsche boss admits Panamera's style is offputting

Sat, 11 Oct 2014



"There have been some small mistakes and we will do it better. For example the design could be better." - Matthias Mueller.
The design of the Porsche Panamera has been divisive, to say the least. Pretty much any Porsche with four doors was going to draw the ire of enthusiasts, but the fast-back-style roofline, prominent curves and seemingly never-ending hood have particularly irked some brand loyalists.
