Porsche 918 Spyder Production Approved

Sunday, August 1, 2010

As of late, most of the hoopla over at Porsche has been about four-door vehicles like the all-new Cayenne and Panamera. Sportscars? On the back burner it seems like. Not any more! Porsche is growing the model lineup, and this time in a direction that will be applauded by enthusiasts – production of the 918 [...]

Porsche Produces 25,000th Panamera

Polarizing designs and groundbreaking new introductions often result in very strong reactions. If there was ever a car that generated strong reactions, the Porsche Panamera would have to be one of the those cars. Firstly, it drew opposition from purists, who were still bent out of shape over the Cayenne. As for us, we would [...]

Porsche 911 Speedster May Make Return, Ferrari 599 GTO Pictures

Throughout the Porsche 911′s history, there has been remarkably little change to the basic formula. And for good reason – the 911 doesn’t need to be revolutionized. We like it the way it is! That doesn’t mean there can’t be some unique variations of it though. Auto Express says a 911 Speedster is in the [...]

Porsche 928 Sketch Leaked?

Here at CarThrottle, we are big fans of the Porsche 928 – and indeed most all Porsches. The new Panamera four-door brings a suitable front-engined, rear-wheel drive platform to the table yet again. Why not use that platform to build a exciting new 928 GT, increasing economies of scale and profit margins at the same [...]

I love viral marketing. It’s way more amusing than real marketing. Whereas real marketing is a multi-billion dollar industry that bets on the fact the average consumer is dumber than the average advertising department, viral marketing is a bit more grass-roots, personal, and often times humorous. I mean, who can forget the whole Audi vs. [...]

Porsche Rejects MINI’s Challenge to a Race

Interesting headline there, eh? Thank MINI’s marketing department for that one. We’ve been hearing a lot about marketing in the automotive industry lately, and there is no denying that MINI’s is one of the smartest out there. The company challenged Porsche to a race pitting the 911 Carrera S versus the MINI Cooper S. Ridiculous, [...]

Porsche is in the midst of introducing an important new model and redesigning a pivotal one. The new Panamera, like it or loathe it, has become the top-selling Porsche in the United States. But it isn’t likely to keep its title for long, as the redesigned Cayenne is on the way. Buyers are likely holding [...]

Porsche Panamera is Top Seller in the U.S

Often designs that are hated by a small section of the automotive community will go on to be big successes. This has happened with Porsche and the Cayenne. It looks like history is about to repeat itself with the Panamera, Porsche’s first four-door. It has recently gone on sale in the United States and it [...]

Porsche 911 GT2 RS is Baddest Porsche EVER

Porsche’s had enough, and they’re not gonna take it any more. What am I talking about? Nissan’s constant bragging about Nurburgring lap times, of course. Surely all parties involved realize that the difference between a 7:26 and a 7:18 on the world’s most difficult track is entirely academic, but praise be to the car Gods [...]

I have to admit, Raleigh North Carolina is not the most exciting place on earth. Sure, it’s a rapidly growing commercial center with a mixture of high-income and back-country areas, but it’s not… you know… Los Angeles. Or Miami. We don’t have a Woodward Avenue. We have Capital Boulevard. Which is really just US-1 given [...]
