Mercedes C63 AMG DTM Safety Car

The new Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is being used as the Safety Car for the 2011 DTM season. Following the DTM presentation in Wiesbaden on 10 April 2011, the new Safety Car makes its debut on 1 May 2011 at the opening race of the German Touring Car Masters season at the Hockenheimring in Baden-W�rttemberg. The V8 Sports Saloon only had to be modified slightly for its demanding DTM task. Responsibility for development and production of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Safety Car was entrusted to the specialists in the AMG Overall Vehicle Development department and the AMG Performance Studio.
Decisions regarding the deployment of the Safety Car are taken by the Deutsche Motorsportbund (DMSB) - German motor racing's governing body - which assumes responsibility for safety implementation and

compliance as well as performing official sports functions in accordance with the DTM regulations. Piloted by racing driver J�rgen Kastenholz (43), the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Safety Car has the job of ensuring maximum safety for the racing drivers and spectators in the event of dangerous situations such as extreme weather conditions, accidents or other incidents. When radioed by Race Control, the Safety Car positions itself at the head of the DTM field and leads the cars around the circuit until normal racing can be resumed.
The new Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG being used for the 2011 DTM season scales new heights in terms of design and technology: the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine has an exceptionally high output of 358 kW (487 hp) and a peak torque of 600 Nm. The increase in output versus the standard 336 kW (457 hp) engine is due to the AMG Performance Package, which is optionally available for any C63 AMG model and enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds (Estate 4.4 seconds). For the AMG Performance Package the engine specialists have placed their trust in a technology transfer from the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: the forged pistons, connecting rods and lightweight crankshaft have been adopted from the gull-wing model. The lower inertia of the three-kilogram lighter components allows the naturally aspirated eight-cylinder engine to rev freely and respond even more promptly. Distinguishing features of the Performance Package include the variable intake manifold painted in titanium grey and the AMG high-performance braking system with compound brake discs at the front axle.
New equipment includes the innovative AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, which incorporates a wet start-up clutch and four transmission modes as well as double-declutching and RACE START functions for optimum driving dynamics. Distinguishing features of the current model include the aluminium bonnet with modified powerdomes, the new radiator grille, the new headlamps, the new AMG rear apron with a distinctive black diffuser insert and active rear-axle cooling. To optimise radiator inflow, the AMG front apron on the DTM Safety Car features enlarged openings and side air outlets, while the AMG carbon-fibre spoiler lip on the boot lid reduces lift at high track speeds. In keeping with this design, the DTM Safety Car also sports AMG carbon-fibre exterior mirrors.
Outstanding grip thanks to differential lock and 3-stage ESP�
The adjustable coil-over suspension together with the differential lock and the 3-stage ESP� ensures a high level of agility and outstanding grip on the race track. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG DTM Safety Car is shod with multi-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels painted in matt black with a high-sheen rim flange, 235/35 R 19 front tyres and 255/30 R 19 rear tyres.

The AMG high-performance braking system has been optimised for the race track: compound brake discs with six-piston brake callipers at the front axle and steel brake discs with four-piston brake callipers at the rear axle; all of the discs are internally ventilated and perforated. Meanwhile, the AMG sports exhaust system with special rear silencers produces an unmistakable AMG V8 sound.
Distinguishing features of the DTM Safety Car compared to the standard C63 AMG include distinctive DTM Safety Car logos, the LED light bar on the roof and the stroboscopic flashing LED lights at the front and rear. A number plate illuminated with LEDs and the words "Safety Car" on the boot lid make the car easier to see in poor weather conditions. To facilitate communication with Race Control, the Safety Car is fitted with a radio system and a TV monitor. Two AMG sports bucket seats with four-point seat belts provide ideal lateral support for the driver and co-driver, while the AMG performance steering wheel in nappa leather/Alcantara with steering-wheel shift paddles assures optimum vehicle control.
DTM Safety Car from Mercedes-AMG since 2000
Mercedes-AMG has provided the Safety Car ever since the "new" DTM's inception in 2000 and alternates with Audi from race to race. The flagship V8 C-Class model from AMG has been used in DTM since its launch in 2008. To help ensure safety on the race track in the Formula-1 World Championship, the SLS AMG is used as the Official F1 Safety Car, while the Official F1 Medical Car is a C63 AMG Estate.

Porsche Carrera 2009

Porsche has unveiled the all-wheel-drive 2009 911 Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S in coupe and cabriolet guises after the launch of its rear-wheel-drive sibling earlier this month.

Featuring the same 3.6- and 3.8-litre engines, the Carrera 4/4S offers up to 8.5 per cent more power, up to 12.9 per cent more fuel economy, and 15.4 per cent lower CO2 emissions than its predecessor. For example, a Carrera 4 Coup� with the PDK dual-clutch transmission consumes a mere 10.1 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres - outstanding figures for a performance car.

The new generation of the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S also features an electronically controlled PTM Porsche Traction Management, replacing the former all-wheel drive with its viscous multiple-plate clutch. This superior system developed for the 911 Turbo and modified for the Carrera models combines an even higher standard of driving stability, traction and agile handling further enhanced by the mechanical rear axle differential fitted as standard.

2013 Porsche 911 Turbo

The new generation Porsche 911 (991) is scheduled to grace us with his presence at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September this year in his Carrera and Carrera Cabrio bodystyles. We saw a lot of spy photos showing the details of each of these options, but new spy shots revealed higher performance version - the 911 Turbo - which should be making its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March.

For the new generation 911 Turbo, Porsche is the promotion of things with the appearance of a sporty, coupe-like proportions, and reduced overhangs. Large air intakes are located on the flanks of the 911 Turbo will be cool air to rush into a 3.8-liter flat six engine pumping out 550 HP. This engine will be coupled with the latest technologies Porsche, including the regeneration of the braking system and stop the launch of which will reduce fuel consumption by about 12%. The engine will be offered with an improved manual transmission as standard or optional Porsche-Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission. PDK will have to not less than seven forward gears, which combines comfort converter automatic transmission with the dynamic gearshift of a sequential racing gearbox.

The new generation Porsche 911 Turbo will be available later in 2012.

Cooking is something not in the headquarters of Porsche, and knowing that these guys, this can only mean one thing: a new car.

Gul is going on around Stuttgart is that Porsche is considering the introduction of a new supercar, which will be between 911 and 918 GT2 RS Spyder. The meaning of this idea is that the company wants a car that can bridge the gap between the price of 911 GT2 RS, which sold for $ 338,500, and 918 Spyder, which will be sold for $ 1.1 million.

Frankly speaking, it is the Cayenne that compels me to use the word vehicle in conjunction with Porsche. Before the introduction of the Cayenne, Porsche only used to manufacture cars. Thus, this model signifies a significant shift in the designing paradigm of Porsche. The Cayenne has the first V8 engine built by Porsche since the discontinuation of the 928 in 1995.


The model range

The Cayenne range, although relatively new, can be divided into two stages of development. The range manufactured from 2002 to 2006 is called the 1st generation Cayenne while the vehicles since have been known as the 2nd generation. The differences between the two are listed below.

Porsche Boxster Body Kits

by: Louie Liu

The Porsche Boxster was introduced to the market in the late 1990s and brought with it a new era of more reasonably priced Porsche convertible cars. It soon featured amongst the best selling cars in the luxury roadster class thanks to its meticulously balanced mid-engine layout, smooth handling and steering and an engine which was a tested and consistent in delivering good performances, amongst other things. It seamlessly fit into the Porsche image of great cars with a respectable reputation.



Even though there is an array of big companies vying to bite into the Boxster market, the car is able to maintain its niche because of its brilliant overall performance. The company makes sure that the car is up to date with the latest technological evolutions that have taken place over time by introducing upgraded versions of the car with attention to the minutest of details. This gives it an edge over its rivals.


It is a strong, purposeful sports car whose designing intended it to be used for hard and fast driving. It might sometimes demand the driver�s full attention but is equally rewarding in the experience which is nothing short of exhilarating with sharp feedback and control. The Boxster is styled very polished but after more than a decade in production, the car has proved to be more than just a looker. To make your car personalized you can use the Porsche Boxster body kits. Body kits are basically components which are used to modify the car�s exterior. This helps you to reflect your own style and personality in the car by making changes to it. This can be done by choosing a different color other than the ones already made available by the manufacturers and also by adding external features such as front grills, spoilers and side skirting, to name a few.
 

Porsche 911 Turbo Historical Overview From 1974 to Now

by: Ruel Run

The production of the 911 Turbo began in 1974. The car was also called the Porsche 930 in the USA; the number 930 is in reference to the car's internal type number. In Europe, it was called the Porsche Turbo 911. One of the most distinctive features of the 911 Turbo is its wide wheel arches, so done to house the wide tires. The car also has a unique rear spoiler; it was called the whale tail on the early models and the tea tray on the latter cars.

The Porsche 930 developed a reputation for absolute acceleration, and difficult handling and drag. The first models came with a 3 liter engine spitting out 256 BHP. In the late 1976, a racing version of the Porsche 911 Turbo was introduced, called the Porsche 934. It became a favorite of many competitors in Le Mans and other races due to its power and handling.

The 1989 911 Turbo (930) was the only model to feature a 5 speed gearbox.

Porsche 964 Turbo (1990 - 1993)

In 1990 Porsche launched a Turbo version of the 964 series. For the 1991 and 1992 model years it used a 3.3 liter engine, similar to the one used on the Porsche 930, the engine provided 320 PS. Porsche then introduced the Carrera 2 and 4 in 1993, with a 3.6 liter engine and a 360 PS to the rear wheels.

Today the 964 Turbo is rear commodity; it was eventually superseded by the Porsche 993 Turbo (1995 � 1998).

Porsche 993 Turbo (1995�1998)

In 1995 Porsche launched a Turbo version of the Porsche 993. It was revolutionary in more ways than one; the 993 Turbo was the first standard Porsche to use twin exhaust turbochargers and the first 911 Turbo to have permanent all wheel drive. [Side Note: If you wanted to remove the AWD, you would have to refer to the more powerful and race homologated GT2 or another option is to remove the drive shaft leading to the front differential].

It was 1997 and Porsche decided to introduce a limited run of 200 units of the Porsche 993 911 Turbo S; the Turbo S delivered an even higher performance. The new car had a few additions as well, among these are an additional 24 PS (17.7 kW), this was over the regular Turbo 400 PS (294kW) and modifications to the car's body.

The Porsche 993 Turbo still command a premium price, due mainly to its reliability, raw power, and the fact that it is the last air cooled 911 Turbo cars.

Porsche 996 Turbo (2000 - 2004)

In the year 2000, Porsche introduced the 966 Turbo, which is as the name suggests a turbo version of the Porsche 966. It was equipped with standard four wheel drive and a 3.6 liter engine, which was derived from the 911 GT1 engine. It also came with twin turbocharged and inter-cooled producing a whopping 415 BHP (309 kW), which meant the car could go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. In 2002 the 996 Turbo received an upgrade known as X50 or Turbo S, this increased the car power to 444 hp (336 kW). The 996 Turbo also had air vents in the front and rear bumpers.

Porsche 997 Turbo, 997 GT3 (2006 - Now)

The 997 GT3 or 997 Turbo debuted in 2006, and like previous models it gave Porsche the opportunity to homologate aerodynamic features for racing, and add a model for customer racing. The car used the same 3.6 liter engine as the Porsche 996 Turbo, but with the exception that it had more power; 480 PS. It gets from 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds (using Tiptronic Transmission). The Porsche 997 Turbo is more driver friendly relative to its predecessor.

Advice And Tips For Buying A Used Porsche

by: Xander Palmer

Looking at buying a used Porsche? A used Porsche can be a fantastic purchase and give you years of pleasure but if you buy a complete turkey it can lead to problem after problem. Buying a used car rather than a new one can save you a serious amount of money and if you are careful and know what to look for, the difference in new and used can be nominal. Here are a few handy tips if you are considering splashing out on a used Porsche.


Don't get hung up on used Porsche original bodywork. A lot of people will consider a vehicle having all original bodywork to be a highlight however the older the car gets the more likely it is to have required new parts either due to simple wear and tear or minor scrapes. As long as the work has been carried out to high standards then there should be no problem in this area, it doesn't mean that the car hasn't been well looked after and cared for. If however it has had major surgery then it may have been involved in a serious collision and this can cause underlying problems to axles and other major areas so it may be best to avoid.

Don't be dissuaded by colours that are not popular today. If you are buying a 20 year old used Porsche then its colour may have been the height of fashion in 1980 but may not be popular today. If you are open minded about colour then you are more likely to find a good car as it widens your options. At the end of the day, it's a Porsche, if it's in good condition � it's going to look great!

If you know nothing about cars then it can help to take along a friend who knows a bit about them however don't rely on this too much as most problems can be hidden from a basic inspection if the dealer is determined enough to deceive buyers. Somebody with knowledge of cars probably won't be able to tell if there are major engine problems around the corner or if the car is likely to break down in the near future so trust your instincts when dealing with the seller. If something doesn't add up or you have a bad feeling then walk away. The main benefit of buying from a private used Porsche seller is that the price is likely to be cheaper than buying from a used Porsche dealer however there is likely to be no comeback if problems with the car appear a week after the purchase. Buying from a used Porsche dealer you should be able to negotiate a warranty, the longer the better.

Porsche Used Cars- The Beautiful 911

by: Sean Traynor

Porsche used cars like there 911 model is the one vehicle I think everyone thinks of when dreaming of the Porsche Brand. With so many other models born from the 911 brand, this article will take a look at these other cars (which are less famous than there older brother the Porsche 911) but still very sleek and really fast. When researching older Porsche 911�s from 2005, the turbo had a 480-horsepower twin turbo engine and this vehicle handle�s excellent in high speed performance situations.


Porsche 911 used cars:

Porsche decided that wanted to get a little flashier with its 911 brand so they introduced the 911 GT3. You will notice that most of these 911 GT3�s have loud paint jobs, meaning you see a lot of them in orange, bright yellows and lime green to mention a few. These also came in all-wheel drive and the glass roof was standard in the 911 GT3. The Porsche Motor Company realized that the GT3 wasn�t fast enough, so the following year they unveiled the GT2 and this now had a 530 horsepower, twin turbo engine. These Porsche 911 GT2�s also offered loud paint jobs.

Both the GT3 and the GT2 come with a six speed manual transmission, there is also an option to have the famous Tiptronic S which are paddle shifters you see in a Formula One race car.

I could only find one stat for the fuel economy of the Porsche 911 GT2. The GT2 has an 18.8-litre, per 100kms for city driving and 8.9-litre, per 100kms for highway driving. Not exactly your favourite green car to drive around in the city, but imagine most 911 GT2 owners couldn�t care less.

Let�s look at some pros and cons of the different 911 models:

1- It has been mentioned that are problems with the pistons.

2- There is an issue with anti flood system.

3- There are problems with the seals for the engine oil.

4- There have been complaints with the transmission not working properly when you change gears.

I could not find any reports on safety crash tests done on either the GT2 or GT3. The Porsche 911 family are very expensive cars even if you buy second hand; they seem to hold their value for a long time. They are also an expensive car to maintain so if you do decide to buy one used, don�t be shocked when the mechanic gives you the bill.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder and 2011 Porsche Boxster Cayman

The History new Boxster Sypder which was revealed to the world at the Los Angeles Auto Show in late 2009 and went on sale in February of 2010 has brought even more excitement to Porsche�s renowned mid-engine model lineup that includes the 2011 Porsche Boxster and the Boxster S roadsters and Cayman and Cayman S coupes. For the 2011 model year, the Boxster, the Boxster S, the Cayman and the Cayman S now offer more standard features at the same MSRPs as last year. For example, standard equipment this year includes Bluetooth hands-free phone interface and a universal audio interface that provides connections for a MP3 player.

Also new for 2011 are popular equipment packages for the 2011 Porsche Boxster and 2011 Porsche Cayman models, with the exception of the new minimalistic Boxster Spyder. These new packages include the Convenience Package, the Infotainment Package, the Design Package, and the Design Sport package, all of which group attractive options at a value. For example, the Design Package groups 19-inch Spyder wheels, as well as black treatment of the exhaust pipes, rollbars (Boxster line only) the side panel intake, the outside rear view mirrors, dashboard trim cover, gear shift/selector lever trim cover, and dashboard air vents. Also new for 2011 are fresh metallic color options: Platinum Silver Metallic, Ruby Red and Amethyst Metallic.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder

Designed and built as a classic Porsche engine, the flat-six power in the Spyder offers optimum qualities for the Spyder, including low weight, a flat engine structure with a low center of gravity, and a reduction of inner friction. Furthermore, the crankcase is split up into two sections and comes as a closed-deck structure, while the car�s engine mounts are optimized to firmly connect the power plant to the body and thereby minimize movement.

The 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder Making headlines around the world, Porsche�s newest mid-engine sports car, the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder model, offers a very high level of pure driving enjoyment. The newest member of the Boxster family stands out from the other versions of Porsche�s mid-engined roadster. Its low-slung, lightweight soft top when closed extends far to the rear to protect the driver and passenger from bright sunshine, wind and weather. This top, when combined with shorter side windows and two striking bulges on the single-piece rear lid, provides the Boxster Spyder with a sleek silhouette reminiscent of the Carrera GT super sports car.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder

Weighing in at just 2,811 lbs, the Spyder is the lightest Porsche available today this from a company known for lightweight, proficient sports cars. In many respects, it represents the most pure form of the sports car agile, powerful, open and efficient, combining maximum driving dynamics with minimum weight. The Boxster Spyder features a 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine with Direct Fuel Injection upfront of the rear axle. Maximum output is 320 horsepower (hp), 10 hp more than the
Boxster S.

Engineers were able to create the lightest Porsche by developing new weight-saving features and also by simply removing others. For example, the doors of the Spyder are made of aluminum a decision that saves 33 lbs from the conventional Boxster doors. Also, Porsche engineers used two extra-light sport bucket seats that save 26 pounds, and side windows that are lower and lighter. Another example of weight-saving engineering is the use of a strikingly designed single-piece rear lid made of aluminum, which saves nearly 7 pounds. Also newly developed for this car were the lightest 19-inch wheels in the Porsche pallet.

The unique, two-piece manual top not only saves 46 lbs but it also helps in lowering the new Boxster�s center of gravity by almost one inch. Of course, one of the most effective ways of saving weight is to simply leave out certain features that for the true driving purist are frivolous. For example, this new car does not come with a radio or with air conditioning (although both can be added as a no-cost option). Even interior door handles have been eliminated and replaced with light weight
cloth straps.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder

Under the hood, the engine�s extra power is primarily the result of an even more consistent use of Porsche�s high-speed concept, with the power unit featured in the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder reaching its peak output at 7,200 rpm, or 800 rpm more than the maximum engine speed of the Porsche Boxster S. The redline on the Spyder is 7,500. And while the Boxster S develops it maximum torque of 266 lbs/ft between 4,400 rpm and 5,500 rpm, the power unit featured in the Boxster Spyder reaches it peak torque of 273 lb-ft at 4,750.

Of course a particular highlight of the 3.4 power unit featured in the new 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder and 2011 Boxster S is Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) with a homogeneous fuel/air mixture formation. DFI ensures a particularly smooth and consistent distribution of air and fuel within the combustion chamber. The result is a more optimum combustion quality at all times. DFI has a positive impact not only on the efficiency of the engine, but also on its performance characteristics. With fuel being injected within fractions of a second prior to the actual combustion process, the engine responds spontaneously to even the slightest movement of the gas pedal.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder Interior

Also contributing to the Boxster Spyder�s outstanding engine performance is the use of four oil sumps with on-demand controls. The oil follows the principle of an integrated dry sump, and as a result, the oil pump does not consume more energy than required and ensures exactly the right level of lubrication at all times. Feeding the Spyder engine with lots of fresh air is a high-flow intake system. This system uses a resonance distributor manifold between the right and left intake distributor pipe. Switching according to what is required at the time, the resonance flap adjusts the oscillation of air within the system to the current engine speed and demand, providing high torque at low speed, a smooth and consistent torque curve, and a high level of maximum power.

The combination of 10 more hp and 176 pounds less weight than the award-winning 2011 Porsche Boxster S, plus an all-new sport suspension that lowers the Boxster Spyder 20 mm, a lower center of gravity, a standard limited slip differential, and exclusive wheels provides the kind of driving dynamics that back up the unique look. When equipped with Porsche-Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission and the Sports Chrono Package, the new Spyder, using Launch Control, accelerates from a standstill
to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Top track speed is 166 mph with the roof open. EPA figures are 19 city/26 highway and 20 city/29 highway with a manual and PDK gearbox, respectively. The 2011 Boxster Spyder is priced at $61,200, plus $950 for destination.

2012 Porsche Cayman S Black Edition

Porsche has unveiled the Cayman S Black Edition, a new model that adds more power and equipment to the Porsche Cayman S. Will be on sale in the UK from September 2011, the Cayman S Black Edition will feature performance and style combination: a flat-six tuned engine, distinctive 19? alloy wheels and a luxurious interior.

Porsche Cayman S Black Edition is powered by 330 hp 3.4-liter flat six engine which delivers 10 hp
more than standard Cayman S. The extra power is produced at 7,400 rpm (an additional 200 rpm vs the standard car), while the maximum torque remains unchanged at 370Nm at 4,750 rpm. The top speed is just over one mph faster than that of the Cayman S � 173 mph with the manual transmission and 172 mph with PDK. Acceleration from 0-62 mph is improved by a tenth of a second to 5.1 seconds with the six-speed manual transmission, and to 5.0 seconds with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) respectively. With the Launch Control activated on the PDK Sport Chrono package option, acceleration improves further to 4.8 seconds.

The dynamic performance of the Cayman S Black Edition is supported by the lightweight Boxster Spyder wheels finished in black which, with a diameter of 19 inches, are one inch bigger than the standard Cayman S wheels and also half an inch wider than the optional 19 inch wheels offered on the Cayman S. The tire sizes fitted are 235/35 ZR 19s on the front axle and 265/35 ZR 19s on the rear axle.
The Cayman S Black Edition features consistent interior color scheme throughout: the dashboard trim is black as are the gear lever/selector trim and the dials in the instrument cluster. The door entry guards feature �Black Edition� lettering and are made of stainless steel; the glove compartment lid bears a badge highlighting the limited edition status.
The Cayman S Black Edition price will start from �50,420 when it goes on sale in the UK from September 2011, productions will be limited to only 500 units worldwide.

Porsche Cayman R 2012

Featuring 121 pounds less weight and the most horsepower available in a mid-engined Porsche, the 330-hp Cayman R has been created for one reason: pure driving dynamics. With its highly-tuned sports suspension and vigilant attention to weight savings, the third Cayman model offers an even more precise driving experience than the �standard� Cayman S.

A direct descendant of the famous 1950�s 550 and 1960�s 904 mid-engined, high-performance C
oupes, the 2012 Porsche Cayman R is celebrating its world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show November 17, 2010.
Light and Powerful.
The newest member of the mid-engine family features the highly efficient 3.4-liter six-cylinder Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) boxer engine found in the Cayman S, but produces 10 more horsepower. With a six-speed manual transmission, the Cayman R sprints from a standstill to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, two-tenths of a second faster than the Cayman S. With the optional seven-speed dual-clutch PDK (Doppelkupplungsgetriebe) transmission and the Sport Chrono package, the exercise is reduced to 4.4 seconds. Top track speed with the manual transmission is up by 3 to 175 mph (282 km / h), 174 mph (280 km / h) with the PDK.
The main objective in the concept and execution of the Cayman R was to improve the already energetic two-seater through a systematic reduction in weight, thereby increasing performance, driving dynamics and agility. With a DIN unladen weight of 2849 lbs. (1295 kg), Porsche engineers were able to achieve a power-to-weight ratio of 8.58 lbs. per hp (3.9 kilograms per hp) and with 8.8 lbs per hp (4 kilograms per hp) with the PDK.

More from Less.
The greatest savings comes from the use of lightweight components and the omission of certain standard equipment not directly associated with driving performance. In addition to the removal of the A/C and stereo, the driver-focused Cayman R utilizes a sports suspension system that lowers the Cayman R by 20 mm, helping lower center of gravity. Optional on the Cayman S, the Cayman R comes with a standard limited slip differential, front and rear spoilers from the Cayman Aerokit and special lightweight 19� wheels also found on the Boxster Spyder.
Lightweight aluminum door skins, carbon-fiber backed sport bucket seats and interior door panels from the 911 GT3 RS also contribute to the weight reduction. Black-framed halogen headlights, contrasting side mirrors and decorative "PORSCHE" side-stripes add to the unique appearance.
The 2012 Cayman R goes on sale in February 2011 and U.S. base pricing is $66,300.

Porsche Panamera S Hybrid

Porsche made a splash in the hybrid vehicle market with the Cayenne S Hybrid sedan released in North America in November 2010. This four-door sedan achieves a modest fuel economy of 24 miles per gallon with a steep price tag of $67,700. The next entry in the hybrid market for Porsche is the Panamera S Hybrid based on the popular Panamera luxury sedan design. Representatives from Porsche announced last week that the Panamera S Hybrid will hit American showrooms by December 2011 with a starting price of $95,000.
The heart of the Panamera S Hybrid is a 3.0-liter V6 engine capable of producing 248kW of power. This gas engine is paired with a 34kW electric motor to reduce fuel consumption. Porsche incorporated a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery into the drive system instead of a lithium-ion pack to keep battery costs low. The

Panamera S Hybrid also features Porsche�s �sailing� technology that reduces fuel consumption during deceleration. After the driver takes pressure off the accelerator, the engine is disengaged from the drive system and the vehicle coasts until the accelerator is depressed. Porsche has designed the �sailing� technology to restart the engine within fractions of a second to avoid accidents.
This luxury hybrid is estimated to hit 60 miles per hour from a dead stop in 5.7 seconds. Porsche also notes that the Panamera S Hybrid can reach a maximum speed of 167 miles per hour. All-electric range for this hybrid is limited to about a mile with the electric motor aiding acceleration up to 50 miles per hour. The Panamera S Hybrid pushes Porsche into a new level of fuel efficiency with an estimate fuel mileage of 33 miles per gallon. This detail might raise eyebrows among eco-conscious consumers but in the realm of luxury vehicles, Porsche is breaking new ground with the Panamera S Hybrid.

Porsche understand that its latest addition to the hybrid market is aimed at that select group with $95,000 to spare on a car. This consideration informed the addition of new features in the Panamera S Hybrid that meet the needs of 21st century drivers. The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system includes point-by-point navigation and an audio system that can accommodate MP3 players, laptops and other external sources. Porsche added advanced Bi-Xenon headlights that produce a brighter light without burning out as quickly as traditional lights. The Panamera S Hybrid might not be a Toyota Prius, Tesla Roadster or Nissan LEAF in terms of mileage but it is a big step forward for Porsche.

Porsche Cayenne Hybrid and Diesel Specs

The Porsche Cayenne Hybrid will be in India abutting year, according to letters in the media. Like its aeon Ferrari (who employs KERS in the accessible F450) and Lamborghini (who ability plonk a agent agent beneath the Estoque�s bonnet) Porsche is acknowledging greener and another fuels and technology.

4-Cylinder ability with V8 performance

2010 Porsche Cayenne S Amalgam boasts of

A Supercharged Audi 3.0-liter V6 agent with DFI Max Power � 333 Bhp , Max Torque � 324 lb-ft

Also able with 52-HP, 3-phase ancillary electric motor that adds 221 lb-ft of torque.

86 mph top acceleration application aloof the electric motor

Porsche showrooms in India accept bristles variants of Porsche Cayenne in action currently. As they are CBUs they amount advancement of 50 lakh, so don�t apprehend the Cayenne amalgam to be bargain or affordable.

India has not apparent any Hybrid SUVs. The extreme exceptional car makers accept gone in India is alms agent models. If the approaching belongs to amalgam vehicles, the aboriginal planning can accord Porsche a arch alpha in India.

Porsche expects a agent Cayenne to addition sales of the Cayenne in particular. What�s more, Porsche expects this agent archetypal to annual for about 80% of the sales of the Cayenne range. This is all addition it a bit- Let me explain why.

Porsche claims a ammunition ability amount of beneath than 10 litres per kilometer of diesel. The German architect says that the agent Cayenne was alien to lower the all-embracing ammunition burning of the Cayenne range. The aberration in the fairytale starts here-how generally accept you appear beyond a ammunition ability amount claimed by the aggregation that has stood in the absolute world? Aloof think..

The agent adaptation is powered by a 3.0L V6 turbo agent agent produced by the Audi-VW accumulation that produces a bashful 240 bhp and 550Nm of torque. (modest compared to the blow of the range). We accept appear to apperceive that the Cayenne will be the alone agent archetypal in the ambit while the Panamera wont get any agent model.

Whatever said, the agent Porsche Cayenne will be accessible at the Indian Porsche dealership this year.

IAB Comment- We apprehend the 500bhp 5.0 V12 TDI from the Q7 TDi in the Cayenne soon.Stay tuned!

The Porsche 918 production road �2015??

During the Show, and you walked Porsche we asking customers interested in buying a 918 to fill out a letter of intent to acquire a unit. The thing seems to have led, for statements published in Coach Michael Macht, chief of the house in Stuttgart, where he ensures that the precious concept will become the successor to the 959 and the Carrera GT, since the interest has exceeded firm expectations of the manufacturer.
What has left us a bit cold (after the rush of good news) is knowing that things could take five years, bringing the first 918 would tread the asphalt road registered in 2015. Porsche then you should be running (and possibly winning) at Le Mans with its LMP1 hybrid that appears, presumably in 2011 or 2012, so in some ways, this new vehicle �halo� would serve to bring to market the technique wins in the races, see and say a �race tested technology�. Can we wait that long?

Porsche Cayman

The Porsche Cayman is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive 2-seat sports car produced by Porsche AG of Germany. First launched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coup� derived from Porsche's second generation Boxster convertible. Like the Boxster, most Caymans are assembled in Finland for Porsche by Valmet Automotive (the rest are assembled in Zuffenhausen near Stuttgart, Germany). Porsche's Deputy Chairman, Holger P. Haerter confirmed that their contract with Valmet Automotive will end in 2012, and the Cayman's production will be outsourced to Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik of Graz, Austria. (Panorama, 2008). The Cayman coup� (project 987c) and the second generation Boxster convertible (project 987) shared the same mid-engined platform and many components, including the front fenders and trunk lid, side doors, headlights, taillights and forward portion of the interior. The design of the Cayman's body incorporates styling cues from two classic Porsches; the 550 Coup� and the 904 Coup�. Unlike the Boxster, the Cayman has a large hatchback for access to luggage areas on top of and in the back of the engine cover. The suspension design is fundamentally the same as that of the Boxster, but features revised settings appropriate to the increase in chassis stiffness resulting from the Cayman's fixed roof. The 3.4 litre flat-6 boxer engine (M97.21) in the first generation Cayman S was derived from the 3.2 litre powerplant (M96.26) that was used in the Boxster S, but featured cylinder heads from the Porsche 997 S's 3.8 litre motor (M97.01) which have the VarioCam Plus inlet valve timing and lift system. A less powerful but more fuel efficient version, the 2.7 litre M97.20, powered the base model. The use of these new powerplants exclusively in Caymans ended in MY 2007 when Porsche upgraded the Boxster (987.310) and Boxster S (987.320). A 5-speed manual transaxle is standard on the normal Cayman (G87.01), while a 6-speed manual (Getrag 466) is the default for the S (G87.21) and an option on the normal (A87.20). An electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transaxle (Tiptronic) was also available on the S (A87.21) and the non-S version (A87.02) (The 2009 models replaced this option with a seven-speed "PDK", Porsche's dual-clutch robotic manual transmission). Other options include active shock absorbers (ThyssenKrupp Bilstein GmbH's DampTronic, rebadged as PASM by Porsche), ceramic disc brakes (PCCB), xenon headlights (Hella's Bi-Xenon) and an electronically controlled sport mode (Sport Chrono Package).

The Porsche Design Edition 1 is a Cayman S model designed by Porsche Design, commemorating the 35th anniversary of Porsche Design. The all black car features a black full leather interior including seats, dashboard, and door trim as well as black Alcantara steering wheel, gear change lever, handbrake grip, and headliner. The DE1 also is fitted standard with the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), 19-inch 911 (997) Turbo wheels with 235/35 ZR 19 front and 265/35 ZR 19 rear tires, unique Porsche Design script on the instrument dials, stainless steel entry plate engraved with "Porsche Design Edition 1", all-red rear taillights, custom vinyl exterior black-on-black graphics, and a numbered plaque on the glovebox cover. As with all PASM-equipped cars, the body is lowered by 10 mm (0.4 in). Standard equipment includes an elegant briefcase containing the Flat Six Chronograph, a pocket knife, a pair of sunglasses, a pen, and a key ring � all in black, even the knife blade. 777 vehicles were produced as 2008 models. It went on sale on November 2007 in Germany, followed by the US in January 2008. Base price is 58,600 Euros[8] and USD 69,900 in the U.S. Porsche also announced the production of a limited edition Cayman S Sport, to be available in October 2008 as a 2009 model. It features a freer-flowing, louder, exhaust, which raises power from (295 PS (217 kW) at 6250 rpm to (303 PS (223 kW) at an identical 6250 rpm. The Cayman S Sport comes in Bright Orange and Signal Green (from the Porsche 911 GT3 RS), as well as Carrera White, Speed Yellow, Guards Red, Black and Arctic Silver. The Cayman S has striping on the sides, black 19-inch wheels and an Alcantara steering wheel directly from the 911 GT3 RS. The instrumentation loses its hood. The body is lowered by 1 cm. 700 were to be made for the worldwide market.

The performance of the Cayman S approaches that of Porsche's flagship sports car, the 911 Carrera. Rally legend Walter R�hrl lapped the N�rburgring Nordschleife track in a Cayman S equipped with optional 19" wheels, PCCB, and PASM in a time of 8 minutes, 11 seconds. The time for a standard Cayman S, as published by the manufacturer, was 8 minutes, 20 seconds. In contrast, R�hrl recorded 8 minutes, 15 seconds in a 911 Carrera. The similarity in performance between the two cars has led to speculation about whether the Cayman S will cannibalize sales of the Carrera, as the basic Carrera's recommended retail price in the United States is $12,400 higher than that of the Cayman S. A Cayman prepared and run by privateers J�rgen and Uwe Alzen finished fourth overall (of 220 entrants) in the 2007 N�rburgring 24 Hour race, ahead of two flagship Porsche 997 GT3 RSR's, a 997 GT3 Cup, and a 996 GT3 Cup. Another two privateer Caymans, entered by CSR and MSpeed, finished 22nd and 117th overall, respectively. Porsche disclaims support for the Cayman teams, while supporting some or all of the 997 teams. A sports car feature which was not offered by Porsche for the manual transmission Cayman, until 2009, was the limited slip differential (LSD). Some commentators have speculated that LSD was not offered, even as an option, because the Cayman S's performance would then be too close to that of the 911 Carrera (see Crippleware). Several tuning companies started offering Cayman buyers the ability to retrofit an LSD. Also the biggest engine (3.8l) or the turbo engine is not available in the Cayman. In the 2009 model, an LSD is available as an option. The base Cayman has received an engine upgrade to 2.9L (265 bhp (198 kW; 269 PS)), and the Cayman S a 3.4L (320 bhp (239 kW; 324 PS)). This is significantly more than the previous models offerings, as even the factory tuned 2008 Cayman S Sport with its special exhaust system only produces 303 bhp (226 kW; 307 PS) from its 3.4L engine.
