Porsche Boxster PDK – Fun Even in a Blizzard
By Jim Bray
Sports cars are a blast during good weather, and it might surprise you to learn they can even be a hoot after Old Person Winter has come a-calling.
That fact was driven (no pun intended) home to me during a wintry week I spent recently with a Porsche Boxster, a pretty basic model of Porsche’s entry level sports car on which the only real options of substance were Bi-xenon headlights (which should be standard) and the seven speed PDK double clutch auto/manual transmission I’ve grown to appreciate greatly.
2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder - First Drive ReviewBy Admin
When James Dean set out to a race in Salinas, California, on that fateful morning of September 30, 1955, he and his beloved Porsche 550 Spyder were already viewed by many as icons. Of course, in years to come, iconic status would be cemented for both Dean and Porsche, with the German company becoming known as the quintessential sports-car manufacturer. So on our maiden voyage with Porsche’s newest, lightweight 2011 Boxster Spyder—said to be a successor to the 550 Spyder, as if there really could be such a thing in modern times—it seemed only fitting to ditch the planned press-trip route and hustle from Carmel, California, to the Dean memorial in Cholame, some 150 miles distant.

Model Strengths:
• Unmistakable Styling, Porsche-standard Performance and Luxury, Seating for Four In Well-appointed Interior.
Model Overview:
The Panamera fills the gap in Porsche’s line between sports cars and the Cayenne SUV, offering high speed touring for four in a comfortable and spacious package. It’s especially wide at 76 inches, and its 195 inch length and 55.8 inch height make for plenty of interior space, and its rear hatch gives good access to its 15.7-cubic feet of storage space. Flop the seatbacks down, and there’s room for 44.6 cubic feet of luggage.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo.

Porsche Panamera by MansoryBy Admin
After we saw the Gemballa Mistrale, 9ff, Lumma CLR700 GT and the Techart Panamera, it’s time to see what Mansory did with the new Porsche four-door Gran Turismo. Looking at the photos we must admit: this is the best looking tuning kit for the Porsche Panamera!
Review: 2009 Porsche Cayman SBy Admin
Picture yourself hunkered down across the track from a silver Porsche Cayman S. The green flag drops and you sprint in a “LeMans start” the 35 feet across the tarmac to the waiting product of Zuffenhausen. Fling open the door, grab and turn the ignition key with our left hand, jump in, shift into gear and you’re off.

Porsche Cayenne S – Splendid SUVBy Jim Bray
Porsche stood the automotive world on its ear a few years ago when it announced it was branching out from sports cars and into the world of SUV’s. Some thought it was a travesty for a sports car company to branch out like this, but the Cayenne has sold well.
