Patent Images Reveal Panamera Convertible?

Friday, March 12, 2010

Patent filings are proving to be a good source of information today, with a General Motors filing potentially showing the look of the next-generation Malibu and now a Porsche filing that points to a Panamera Convertible. Last year, we reported that a convertible version of the Panamera was coming, as a way for Porsche to reduce [...]

Geneva 2010: Porsche Cayenne

Saturday, February 27, 2010

0 Comments

One of the most emblematic and landmark vehicles of the previous decade has no doubt been the Porsche Cayenne. Porsche purists moaned and complained about its introduction, saying a Porsche emblem could never rightfully grace an SUV. Years later, the debate still rages. What cannot be debated, however, is the incredible success that it has had. With [...]

A New Porsche 928, Rendered

One of the most persistent rumors lately has been the introduction of a new Porsche 928. When the original car came out it was thought that one day it could replace the venerable 911. Obviously, that didn’t work out quite like Porsche anticipated. Porsche has expanded quite a bit since then, introducing the Panamera, whose platform [...]

We look forward to the videos released by manufacturers for the action that most of them have. Or at least, seeing something that hasn’t come out before. The Porsche Panamera V-6 is new, so Porsche released a video of it. Got to hand it to them – besides a walk around (like Audi and Infiniti), this [...]

A refreshed version of the Porsche Cayenne is coming – the SUV so derided by Porsche purists but essential to the brand’s continued global sales push. The Cayenne’s sister vehicle, the Touareg, has already been shown ahead of Geneva and it is looking very good. Now it is the Cayenne’s turn, and we get an early [...]

One of the interesting introductions before the Geneva Auto Show was Porsche’s announcement of the new 911 GT3 R Hybrid (quite a mouthful there!). The car is a racing vehicle that Porsche intends to put into long-distance races as a test of how the hybrid technology works in a racing application. The standard powertrain GT3 R [...]

Another day, another special-edition Porsche 911. But, let’s put it this way: if your house was overrun with Playboy Bunnies, would you be complaining about too much of a good thing? I didn’t think so. Porsche’s just released details on their latest special edition 911, and while it seems like just another 911, if you [...]

Porsche CEO Says Hybrids Aren’t Part of the Plan

Lately, the move toward alternative fuel technologies has been very pervasive. It seems like everyone is rumored to be considering it, even Ferrari. Porsche is a brand that, above all, would seem like one to go with the trend on this after bucking the desires of purists with the Cayenne and Panamera. Seems like that [...]

The Worst 10 Performance Cars of 2009

Top Ten lists are a longstanding tradition with automotive journalism outlets. And why not? People love a Top Ten list (it gives them something to argue about!), and man, they’re not exactly hard to throw together. The issue is that the vast majority of them are fluff, crap, really just a slap on the back [...]

While Porsche decides whether or not to produce an electric 911, German company RUF Automobile GmbH has taken matters into it’s own hands. In October 2008, the company debuted the eRUF “Greenster” 911. They are expanding the eRUF line now with a new model, the Stormster – this time based on the Cayenne. The original, the Greenster [...]
