2019 Porsche Macan Gets A Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Engine




What changes make the 2017 Porsche Macan different? 49,000. There鈥檚 also a new value in Macan high performance via a GTS version slotted between the S and top-line Turbo models. All but the base use twin-turbocharged V-6 engines but every 2017 model gains more standard equipment, including new safety features and updated infotainment systems. This premium-compact crossover SUV shares some of its underskin hardware with the Audi Q5 (Porsche and Audi and subsidiaries of Volkswagen). Porsche adds its own design and engineering touches, though, to give the Macan a distinct personality. Why should I buy a 2017? 8,800 less. More standard equipment on all models is also a draw. It includes a new infotainment system with standard satellite and HD Radio receivers. Porsche used to charge extra for these items, which you鈥檒l often find as standard equipment on vehicles costing less than half as much. Ascending from the new entry-level model, the 鈥?7 Macan lineup consists of the S, sport-themed GTS, and high-performance Turbo versions. Is the styling different?





Not meaningfully. The Macan line bowed for model-year 2015 in S and Turbo guise. With its black exterior accents, matte lower-body finish, and dark-tinged 20-inch alloy wheels, the GTS represents the main styling alteration so far. It鈥檚 also distinguished by a sport suspension that lowers ride height 0.4 inches compared with the Turbo. The Turbo has its own look, too, particularly in details of the grille and front fascia; Every Macan has a familial resemblance to the brand鈥檚 other SUV, the premium-midsize-class Cayenne. At the back, you can see some of the Audi Q5鈥檚 influence, but Porsche has done a solid job making the Macan distinct from its corporate cousin. Yes. The Base model introduces to the line a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 252 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque; it鈥檚 the same engine used in some Audis, including the redesigned 2017 A4 sedan and Q5. The S returns with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 of 340 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque.





The GTS upgrades that to 360 and 369, respectively. Turbo models get a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V-6 with 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. All Macans use a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that behaves like a sport-calibrated conventional automatic. Also standard on all is a performance-tuned all-wheel drive (AWD) system. A number of wheel/tire combinations and other performance-enhancing upgrades are available. 1,385 on top of that upgrades it to an air suspension for all models. 2,930 extra for the other models. Does the fuel economy improve? Yes, thanks to the four-cylinder. EPA fuel-economy ratings for the 鈥?7 Macan line were unavailable in time for this review, but expect the Base model to rate around 19/27/22 mpg city/highway combined. The S and Turbo versions should return - somewhat remarkably, given their power differences - rating the same 17/23/19 mpg. Look for the GTS to better that by a smidge. Porsche will require premium-grade 91-octane gasoline for all.





Does it get new features? Yes. All 鈥?7 Macans get a new infotainment system with standard satellite and HD radio. Also newly standard across the board are a rearview camera, front- and rear-obstacle detection, and lane-departure warning. While the extra safety and convenience features are appreciated, there鈥檚 still a laundry list of options that will cost you plenty. How are 2017 prices different? 2,100 increases on the S and Turbo, respectively, over their 2016 counterparts. 125,000. It鈥檚 hard to be judicious since many desirable features cost so much extra. The steep price of entry is balanced somewhat by Porsche鈥檚 stellar reputation for reliability, resale value, and customer service. When does it come out? The 2017 Porsche Macan S, GTS, and Turbo are arriving at dealers now. What changes would make it better? Porsche is right to expand standard equipment, but we鈥檇 still like to see the automaker include even more content in base prices; it could begin with blind-spot alert and full leather upholstery. It鈥檚 difficult to fault the driving experience. Macan is arguably the most entertaining SUV of any kind. As a relatively affordable entry point, the four-cylinder should sell well and it鈥檚 handling is likely to be up to snuff, even if acceleration does less than full justice to the brand鈥檚 sporty image.

2019 Porsche Macan Road Test




When Porsche launched their first SUV back in 2004, brand loyalists howled. The idea that a carmaker rooted in building finely crafted, uncompromising sports cars would dilute the brand DNA with something so suburban and mainstream was simply too much for Porsche purists to bear. Fast forward a decade: The midsized Cayenne SUV is now Porsche's top-selling model and more than a few of those loyalists have found room for one alongside the 911 in their garage. More importantly, it opened the Porsche brand to a new breed of customer who never previously would have considered Stuttgart steel. With the Macan compact crossover, Porsche has broadened their SUV catalog. Targeted at competitors like the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, the Macan leans more toward sport than utility in the SUV equation. With handling, acceleration, and braking performance that put most sports sedans to shame, the Macan is easily the most thrilling SUV we've tested. The 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 in our Macan S delivers effortless power, mated to an automated manual transmission that fires off quick, decisive shifts punctuated by a race-ready exhaust bark. The BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, and Lexus NX don't even come close to that thrust.





For all its commitment to performance, the Macan still manages to deliver a measure of utility. Standard all-wheel drive and all-season tires make it a viable four-season vehicle, and the split-folding rear seats add cargo versatility. There's room for five friendly passengers in the quiet, luxurious, and impeccably finished interior, with comfortable and well-shaped seats up front. So, what's not to like? The Macan doles out rear seat room with the frugality of the Bundesbank. The same goes for the cargo area. Visibility is limited by a small rear window. As you would expect for a sports-car-meets-SUV, fuel economy is a thirsty 19 mpg overall. The Macan doesn't come cheap. Then again, what did you expect? It's a Porsche. Although the Macan has a base price a few pfennigs shy of 50 large, it is pretty much impossible to find one so equipped on dealer lots. 63,290 -- considerably more than any of its competitors. Adding a few options can drive up the price almost as quickly as the Macan accelerates. Even something as basic as a rear camera, standard on many mainstream cars, is a pricey option on the Macan. Still, if you categorize the Macan as a high-performance, all-wheel-drive hatchback, rather than a weekend workhorse for lumber runs, it is a very appealing, albeit pricey, package. And compared to some other Porsche models, it may even be something of a relative bargain.





Senior car industry figures were in London last week for the annual two-day Financial Times Future of the Car Summit. But when it came to the crunch question on whether he was aware that talks had taken place between PSA and JLR鈥檚 current owner Tata, Speth鈥檚 response was limp at best. There is an increasing belief that JLR might well benefit from a switch of owner. Acquisition by PSA would lead to a brutal period of cost-cutting, for sure, but it could deliver profits for Jaguar and Land Rover just as quickly as the rapid turnaround delivered at Opel and Vauxhall during the past 18 months. A PSA deal - or, for that matter, a switch to ownership by a major Chinese manufacturer - would also open Jaguar and Land Rover to a wider pool of technologies than either brand presently gets from Tata. Discovery Sport now, at launch, instead of in six or nine months鈥?time. If anything, though, Speth鈥檚 attitude to partnerships with other brands was what drew the deepest gasps at the FT Summit. 鈥淵ou can talk about economies of scale and that鈥檚 correct,鈥?he said, 鈥渂ut on the other hand, there鈥檚 the freedom we have to develop and do our own strategy in a fast way, a structured way. His dedication to independence is admirable, in a way. But with car makers facing huge bills for developing EV technology, it鈥檚 hard to find anyone in the industry who thinks that JLR鈥檚 relative isolation makes any sense at all. Do you think Jaguar Land Rover could benefit from a change of owner?





Geely has taken a 50 per cent stake in the Smart city car brand from parent company Daimler, it has been confirmed. The pair will build a new generation of all-electric Smart models by 2022, with production taking place at Geely鈥檚 purpose-built factory in China. As part of its expansion strategy, Geely and Daimler will also broaden the Smart range into the B-segment market, producing a premium rival for the Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo and Audi A1 Sportback, it has emerged. Until 2022, Daimler will continue to build the current Smart EQ ForTwo and EQ ForFour at its facilities in Hambach, France and Novo Mesto, Slovenia respectively. From 2022 Daimler鈥檚 Hambach plant will begin construction of a new EQ-branded compact electric car, following a 鈧?00 million investment by Mercedes-Benz. Daimler鈥檚 Chairman of the Board, Dieter Zetsche, said: 鈥淲e look forward to further enhancing the brand with Geely Holding, a strong partner in the electric vehicle segment. Geely鈥檚 new partnership with Daimler Auto Group follows its recent 拢6.4 billion investment in the German company. Over the last decade, Geely has taken total financial control of Volvo, Polestar, the London Taxi Company, Lynk & Co and Yuan Cheng Auto, as well as partially financial control of Proton and Lotus.





The Audi SQ5 has done rather well for itself scoring positive points in most reviews. Seen as how it鈥檚 a fast, techy and practical SUV, its success is easy to comprehend. It all starts with the 3.0-liter TFSI V6 unit underneath the hood, sending 354 PS to all four wheels, along with 500 Nm of torque. It can hit 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, and 96 km/h in 5.1 seconds. However, where some see handsomeness and elegance in its subdued looks, others see the need for something more accute. It鈥檚 not a bad-looking SUV, but it won鈥檛 get your attention either, unlike this version by Lumma Design. The tuner gave the SQ5 a more expressive attire, thanks to the addition of the CLR 5S body kit. It consists of a front spoiler extension, wheel arch extensions front and rear, integrated side skirt under-splitters, rear skirt extension, custom diffuser, custom door paneling, square exhaust pipes with the Lumma logo, custom wheels and an optional rear spoiler lip. All the parts are made from high quality PUR-RIM plastics and help give this SQ5 a considerably more menacing stance, from all angles.

Is The 15 Grand Difference Between The Porsche Macan S And The GTS Really Justifiable




Porsche is kicking out more than 1000 units of the Macan to the US market every month. Not bad for a car company specialized in performance cars production. Porsche did lose the unique appeal it once had due to a sheer number of cars produced, but it still is a sort of a special brand in the industry. The Macan is not exactly the car Porsche fans craved after, but all others apparently did and Porsche delivered. The Cayenne passed the SUV genes down the line giving the Macan a proper look, and the personality associated with high-end Porsches. Now, the fun part starts. The Macan is about to receive a bunch of different versions in the next five years. Every Porsche does, so why leave the Macan out! After the Macan S and the Macan Turbo, the US car market recently became richer for the Macan GTS. We all know that the GTS is basically an upgrade over the S in the Porsche world.





Every car (except the 918 Spyder of course) is available with the GTS package. In short - it is like having a classic Porsche S car but with all dials turned up a few notches. Closing the gap between the Macan S and the Macan Turbo, the GTS received a few interesting touches. First up, the Porsche cranked up the power. 340 hp from the S became 360 hp, with the 339 lb-ft of torque going all the way up to 369 lb-ft of torque. Quite an impressive jump for the torque. Although, we are quite sure that this torque is available in short bursts when the pedal is pressed all the way down. Not that we have anything against it. As for some other elements, the Porsche Macan GTS took a whole lot from the Turbo. The seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission combined with the Traction Management system (PTM) is only a slightly recalibrated feature from the Turbo. The S has it too, but here it is a tad more ferocious as it is in the Turbo. Basically, the front wheels will definitely be more at work as the system is calibrated to send the power to it more often than usual. Coupling this with the increased power and optional Sport Chrono package gets us to a car capable of cracking 60 mph in 4,8 seconds. Fine for a compact SUV. Now, increasing the price from 52 grand to 67 grand is a bit daft from Porsche, but they give something in return. Not only did the engine get a power boost and suspension upgrade, but the cosmetics were changed, too. What you will not forget is the PCM (Porsche Communication Management system) with the Sound Package Plus (eight speakers, a USB and aux-in interface, SiriusXM and HD radio, and Bluetooth capability).





In fact, the 3.8 liter flat-six is even beefier than before with an extra 40 horsepower. But the very phrase 鈥渘atural-fibre鈥?has a nice, environmental tone about it. And that鈥檚 enough for most people. The 2019 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport comes in two 鈥淭rackday鈥?and 鈥淐ompetition鈥?variants. The former is for the more novice gentleman driver, whereas the latter is aimed at the more experienced drivers. That is why the Trackday costs 134,000 EUR, and the Competition 157,000 EUR. They share a 425 horsepower flat-six engine, Porsche dual-clutch gearbox with six gears and mechanical rear axle differential lock. What 鈥淐lubsport鈥?models represent is the true essence of Porsche. If you are a real Porsche aficionado you should steer clear of the road-going sports model. Just get a Cayenne or a Panamera for daily driving, and a Cayman GT4 or a track version of the 911 for driving fun. A regular Cayman is like a fine cigarette, whereas this Clubsport model is a full Churchill-sized Cuban cigar paired with a double espresso!





A facelifted version of the BMW X1 has been revealed. Changes to the brand鈥檚 entry-level SUV include tweaked looks, fresh technology, and a plug-in hybrid powertrain for the first time. The company claims the design has been 鈥榖uffed and polished鈥?for 2019; there鈥檚 a larger kidney grille, new bumper, and redesigned LED lights. In addition, BMW has added two-tone LED puddle lights for the door mirrors, which project an 鈥橷1鈥?image to the ground below. Three new exterior colours and four new wheel designs complete the exterior updates. Inside there鈥檚 some new trim, as well as BMW鈥檚 latest ConnectedDrive technology. There are three new upholstery options, taking the total number of colour and material combinations to 13. Flagship M Sport models get 鈥楳icro Hexagon鈥?fabric with special M piping. UK specs haven鈥檛 been confirmed, but entry-level cars are expected to feature a 8.8-inch infotainment screen as standard, with a 10.25-inch Touch Control Display offered as an option. BMW鈥檚 ConnectedDrive services add 鈥榗onvenience-enhancing鈥?functions including Real Time Traffic Information and a Concierge Service that allows you to book and pay for things on the move. Apple CarPlay and a full-colour Head-up Display should both feature on a lengthy list of extras. The entry-level X1 sDrive 18i SE costs 拢28,795, with the M Sport model commanding a premium of 拢3,550. You鈥檒l need to step up to the 20i model for xDrive all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox (from 拢33,475), while diesels cost from 拢30,545 (sDrive18d SE). The range tops out at 拢38,145 for an xDrive20d M Sport. All models apart from the PHEV are available to order now; the plug-in goes on sale in March, priced from around 拢35,000. Do you like the look of the facelifted BMW X1?

2019 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition




Porsche is upgrading the Cayenne six-cylinder model via a special series known as the Platinum Edition. The Platinum Edition Cayenne and Cayenne Diesel models feature some especially high-quality equipment and offer many of the most-requested options as standard. Externally, the special status of these models is demonstrated by the numerous detailed paint finishes in Platinum Silver Metallic, while an elegant ambience has been created in the interior with exclusive two-tone fittings. Porsche only assigns the Platinum Edition designation to its exclusive, elegant vehicle ranges that are available for a limited period only. The enhanced equipment range available in these vehicles is designed to increase comfort and safety in particular. For example, the Cayenne Platinum Edition models feature the eight-gear Tiptronic S, Bi-Xenon main headlights and Power Steering Plus, as well as the ParkAssist system at the front and rear as standard. The automatic anti-dazzle interior mirrors eliminate the dazzle from traffic behind the vehicle and the privacy glazing (also available as standard) protects the rear passengers from unwanted attention.





Painted in Platinum Silver Metallic, the lateral and central air intake grill fins, the side window strips, the rear spoiler lip and the trim strip on the tailgate create a shimmering effect. The standard colour range includes monotone paint finishes in Black and White, and Meteor Grey Metallic, Basalt Black Metallic and Mahogany Metallic are available as further colour options. The Carrara White Metallic paint finish is also an option available exclusively for this Cayenne edition. The look is rounded off by the 19-inch Cayenne Design II wheels with coloured crest. The Black/Luxor Beige two-tone combination, reserved for this special edition, creates an exclusively elegant ambience in the interior. The vehicles come with a partial leather interior as standard, but a full leather interior is also available as an option. The floor mats, with Luxor Beige edging and Porsche logo, and the front door entry guards with the "Platinum Edition" logo, represent further highlights. The standard SportDesign steering wheel with shift paddles and the embossed Porsche crest on the headrests at the front and rear emphasise the high quality of the vehicle. The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system, including a navigation module, is also a standard feature: The PCM includes a high-resolution seven-inch touchscreen and a sound system with 11 loudspeakers and total power of 235 watt. The Cayenne Platinum Edition offers an output of 300 hp (220 kW). In combination with the Tiptronic S, the vehicle's NEDC fuel consumption is 9.9 litres/100 km (236 g/km CO2). The three litre V6 engine in the Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition offers an output of 245 hp (180 kW) and a fuel consumption level of 7.2 litres of diesel over 100 kilometres (189 g/km CO2). The Cayenne Platinum Edition costs 鈧?6,379 and it is 鈧?7,212 for the Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition (including VAT).





On the safety front, standard systems include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with steering assist, automatic high beam and road sign assist. Available active safety and convenience features are adaptive full speed cruise control, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert and rear-end collision warning. As for the infotainment part, the 2020 Supra brings a standard 6.5-inch display operated by a rotary controller on the center console. The 3.0 Premium grade gets an 8.8-inch touchscreen display with navigation, rotary touch controller, Supra Connect telematics services, wireless Apple CarPlay, a premium 12-speaker JBL audio system, and wireless phone charging. 55,250 for the Launch Edition, which will be the sole trim level initially available in a limited run of 1,500 units. Sales in the U.S. Launch Edition will be offered in Absolute Zero White, Nocturnal Black or Renaissance Red 2.0 paint jobs, with contrasting red mirror caps and 19-inch black matte forged alloys. The first two will get a red leather interior, while the third color option a black one, both with carbon accents. Moreover, the limited run Supras will get a plaque on the passenger鈥檚 side of the dashboard with the car鈥檚 serial numbers along with a graphic of Toyota鈥檚 CEO Akio Toyoda鈥檚 signature.





Although it鈥檚 been quite some time since Aston Martin had a six-cylinder in its range, it appears that the upcoming Aston Martin DBX crossover could be offered with a six-cylinder engine. During a recent event with Australian media, chief creative officer Marek Reichman suggested that a six-cylinder engine from Mercedes-Benz could suit the DBX quite well. While it remains to be seen which Mercedes six-cylinder Aston Martin could be given access to, one likely powertrain would be the M256 turbocharged 3.0-liter petrol inline six recently introduced with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. While this powertrain isn鈥檛 as exciting as the V8 and V12s currently used by Aston, it can produce upwards of 382 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, figures more than adequate for everyday use. While it remains to be seen whether Aston Martin will opt to use such an engine, we do know for sure that the DBX will be the marque鈥檚 first model to be available with a hybrid powertrain. According to the most recent reports, this variant could pair AMG鈥檚 twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with an electric motor offering up 200 hp. Combined, this could give the hybrid DBX more than 700 hp, making it even more powerful than the Lamborghini Urus. At least one other traditional gasoline-powered model will join the potential six-cylinder DBX. This powertrain will either be the 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 used by the DB11 and producing roughly 600 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque in DBX guise or the aforementioned AMG twin-turbo V8 but without any electrical assist.

Porsche Of Destin




The all new 2016 Cayenne is here. The 300 HP engine supplies ample power for sporty performance. Known worldwide for braking performance, Porsche uses the best materials in total fit and finish. LED brake lights are a new design element which not only look great, but also give clear message to other drivers. LED lights in the side mirrors make other drivers aware of your intention to change lanes. This is the Porsche Crest on the hood. RS Spyder design wheels give a sporty appearance. 4 Point LED headlamps are part of the Porsche Identity. They also offer a daylight like lighting effect at night. Less blue, more natural. The spacious cabin is complimented by some of the most comfortable seats on the market. Everything in the interior design is driver/passenger focused. The raised center console has one touch buttons that are intuitive and within easy reach. The analog clock is a great design element which also tells time. Dual climate control for maximum comfort. USB jack and audio jack with charger in the center console storage bin. The Bose audio system sounds great. 40.20.40 split in the back, and the seats lock into place when folded down. The cross bars for the roof rack come with the car. When the seats are folded down, there is ample room for storage.





Lamborghini has unsurprisingly followed up the debut of the new Huracan Evo with the reveal of its drop-top companion: the new Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder. The convertible supercar will make its full introduction at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Sitting behind the driver and passenger is a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10, developing 631bhp and 600Nm of torque - exactly the same as the coupe. In practice, and with so much power being sent to the all-wheel-drive system from the V10 engine, the Huracan Evo Spyder is only marginally slower than the coupe. The convertible roof itself opens up via a button positioned on the central tunnel. The roof folds away in 17 seconds and this can be done at speeds up to 31mph, stowing the roof out of view in a compartment consistent with the Huracan鈥檚 body lines. When the roof is raised, the rear window can be lowered on its own, removing a key obstacle between the V10 engine and the driver鈥檚 eardrums. Given the model鈥檚 different shape to the coupe, the Huracan Evo Spyder features a unique rear deck.





However, the rest of the car uses the new bodykit introduced on the hard top car, with the same new front and rear bumpers and the same aerodynamic tweaks. To go with the additional power, drivetrain revisions include a new rear-wheel steering system and four-wheel torque vectoring, as well as Lamborghini鈥檚 new Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI) central processing unit. This allows the chassis to be tailored to the driver鈥檚 preferences through drive modes and specific chassis and powertrain settings. In the cabin a new 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system appears, but Lamborghini also says that cabin airflow has been altered too, so that the Huracan Evo Spyder is less blustery and quieter in the cockpit than its predecessor. After the Huracan Evo Spyder appears in Geneva next week it鈥檒l go on sale later on in the spring. Prices will start at 拢181,781 before VAT. Add 20 per cent for VAT and a 拢5,000 delivery fee, and on the road the new Huracan Evo Spyder will set prospective buyers back 拢196,000 when it arrives in the UK. What do you think of the Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spider?





We've driven the 2017 porsche 911 carrera 4 gts pdk - check out our review here:.

2019 Porsche 911 Carrera T Review




3,000 less than the C2S. That price tag is only part of what makes the Carrera T such a strong offering. 105,100 C2S are a powerful motivator. Equally powerful motivation is what comes standard on the Carrera T and how much of it is either unavailable on the base Carrera or unavailable on every 911 outside of the most hardcore RS models. That latter category is an interesting one. The Carrera T shares its lightweight rear windshield and quarter window glass and low-fat door panels with the 911 GT2 RS and GT3 RS. And like those cars (as well as the 911 GTS and standard GT3), there's less sound deadening, so the sound of the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six is just a little more noticeable. Compared to the base Carrera, the T packs the Sport version of the brand鈥檚 Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as standard. My lightly equipped tester packs the optional seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, heated front seats, and rear-axle steering. The 911 is already a handsome car inside and out, but the Carrera T tweaks the design to stand out just a bit more.





The cabin is largely the same as the standard car鈥檚 despite a handful of special lightweight bits. Fabric door straps replace traditional handles - and look positively awesome. While my tester didn't carry the optional full bucket seats, I'm sure they look equally remarkable. Other than those modifications, this is the same 911 interior you'd find on a base Carrera or Carrera S. That said, it鈥檚 all solid and well-built. The 911 feels like it will last for 100 years or more. Two-door sports cars with firmed-up, lowered suspensions, and reduced sound-deadening hardly qualify as comfortable, but the Carrera T does earn some points for its excellent front seats. Even the manually adjusted chairs that come standard on the Carrera T are comfortable and supportive. There are few better ways to while away long drives, to the point that I question the need for the available 18-way adaptive seats. Unsurprisingly, the second row is next-to useless.





There's so little space for the head or legs, that I鈥檇 hesitate to even call the 911 a four-seater. The 911 also loses points for its tiny frunk. Like the standard Carrera, the T has just 5.1 cubic feet of cargo space, almost half of the 10.1 cubes available in the Mercedes-AMG GT. Thankfully, the cramped rear seat鈥檚 lack of legroom makes it the perfect place to store soft items if the frunk is full, and when those chairs are folded, there's an additional 9.2 cubic feet of cargo space. 700 heated front seats. But since it came standard with Bluetooth, xenon headlights, Apple CarPlay, a 4.6-inch digital instrument gauge, and two-zone automatic climate control, the short option sheet wasn't an issue. 102,000 car is kind of silly. Aside from maybe a head-up display or an air-suspension system, the 911 Carrera T offers a tremendous range of optional goodies. LED headlights (in both standard and smoked varieties), adaptive cruise control, 18-way seats, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a fantastic Burmester audio system are all available for customers willing to pay.





8,000 to make it a far more palatable choice as a daily driver (although that's before getting into the ridiculous aesthetic options Porsche offers customers). My 911 Carrera T came standard with a reasonably sized seven-inch touchscreen. The system is responsive but unattractive, and features a black and gold color scheme with last-generation graphics. The menus are also something of a mess, which makes navigating the various functions difficult. Knobs and buttons you expect to do one thing, like change the radio station by frequency, instead cycle through presets鈥nless you're in the right part of the radio screen. The larger screen and software coming to the next-generation 911 (which will include a T variant) will mark a tremendous improvement over my tester's. That the Carrera T carried Apple CarPlay as standard, though, helped matters. The Carrera T features the same twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six as the base Carrera. And like that car, it produces 370 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. Both the Carrera and Carrera T make peak horsepower at 6,500 rpm (1,000 rpm south of redline) and peak torque between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm.

Beverly Hills Porsche Official Blog




Beverly Hills Porsche showroom asking when the new 911 will arrive. Last week photos were leaked of the new body and interior and teaser videos started appearing on Porsche's official YouTube channel. Today Porsche released some more information. And now the official announcement and press release from Porsche: The new 911 Carrera will make it's World Premiere at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show Next Month! ATLANTA -- August 23 2011 - At 48, the Porsche 911 Carrera is younger than ever. The completely redesigned seventh-generation sports car icon is stepping into the limelight with its sleek and stretched silhouette, exciting contours and precisely designed features. Yet from every angle it is unmistakably a 911, holding true to the Porsche 911 Carrera 鈥榚volution, not revolution鈥?design philosophy. The 100 mm or 3.9 inch longer wheelbase and reduced overall height underpin the fresh, athletic yet elegant appearance. When viewed from the front, the eye is drawn to the 911鈥檚 trademark wide-arched fenders, emphasizing the wider front track. The side mirrors are now mounted on the upper edge of the door, which also helps highlight the new design line and gives the visual impression of width.





The new lightweight body is an aluminum-steel composite construction and contributes greatly to the 45 kg or about 100 lbs weight reduction when compared to the previous 911 body. To complement the modern exterior design, Porsche designers created an interior reminiscent of the Carrera GT. The driver is now even more closely integrated within the cockpit thanks to the rising center console and high-mounted shift lever or gear selector located close to the steering wheel. As with the exterior, classic Porsche elements abound inside. Present is the instrument cluster with five round gauges - one of them a high resolution multifunction screen, and of course the central tachometer and the ignition lock to the left of the steering wheel. Setting the standard in its class, as it has for generations, the new 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S raise the performance and efficiency bar yet another notch. All versions get by with significantly less than 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (official U.S. 鈥榮ail鈥?or coast. The new electro-mechanical power steering offers not only Porsche鈥檚 typical precision and feedback but also helps increase efficiency and reduce fuel-consumption.





For example, the 911 Carrera with the new 350 hp, 3.4-liter boxer engine and optional PDK consumes 8.2 l/100 km based on the NEDC - 1.6 l/100 km less than its predecessor. The 911 Carrera S with its 400 hp, 3.8-liter boxer engine - 15 hp more than before - achieves 8.7 l/100 km in the NEDC when paired with the optional PDK transmission. This represents a fuel consumption decrease of 14 percent or 1.5 l/100 km. At the same time there are performance improvements in both models. The 911 Carrera S with PDK accelerates from 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds. Using the Launch Control function of the optional Sport Chrono Package cuts that to 3.9 seconds. The 911 Carrera with PDK needs only 4.4 seconds to sprint from a standing start to 60 mph (4.2 seconds when using the optional Sport Chrono Package鈥檚 Launch Control function). Top-track speed for the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera is 188 mph and 179 mph, respectively.





The new 911 offers both better longitudinal dynamics and unprecedented top performance in terms of transverse dynamics. In addition to the longer wheelbase, the greater agility, precision and driving stability are based, among other things, on the wider front track, the new rear axle and new electro-mechanical power steering. Depending on the model, there are other standard or optional active control systems available that can help further enhance the overall driving dynamics. The new 911 further extends the span of seemingly contradictory attributes such as performance and efficiency, sportiness and every day practicality that have always typified the Porsche 911. That makes the 911 Carrera more of a 911 than ever. The new Porsche 911 Carrera celebrates its world premiere at the 2011 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show in September. 96,400 (excluding destination). Both models will include substantial additional equipment when compared to the previous models. Beverly Hills Porsche, Number One in New Porsche Sales for all of the Western USA!

We鈥檙e getting a better look at the upcoming 2020 Honda Fit / Jazz. Spied undergoing testing in Europe, the redesigned model has a more expressive front fascia with larger headlights that feature three dimensional elements. They reside on either side of a new two-bar grille. Further below, the Fit has a large air intake which now extends to the outer edges of the front bumper. Moving back, we can see slender A-pillars and larger front quarter windows. The Fit also has curvier bodywork and an evolutionary rear end with new taillights. Interestingly, the photos appear to show a standard model and a more rugged, off-road inspired variant. The latter has a roof rack, pronounced wheel arches and body cladding on the doors. The latest spy photos give us our first glimpse of the interior and they reveal the model will have a new steering wheel, a recessed instrument cluster and a more modern infotainment system with a metallic frame. There are three large knobs which are likely for the climate control system. Honda has been tight-lipped about the Fit, but reports have suggested the model will be offered with conventional, hybrid and electric powertrains. The photographers believe both these prototypes were the hybrid variant which is rumored to share its powertrain with the Insight. As a refresher, the Insight has a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, an electric motor, a lithium-ion battery and an electronic continuously variable transmission. This enables the model to have a combined output of 151 hp and a fuel economy rating of up to 55 mpg city. The Fit EV is rumored to have a range of approximately 300 km. That鈥檚 shorter than the Chevrolet Bolt and Tesla Model 3, but more than the standard Nissan Leaf which can only travel up to 241 km on a single charge.

The Management and Staff of Beverly Hills Porsche take a day to celebrate the 100th Birthday of Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche also know as Ferry Porsche. The successful story of Dr. Ing. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, would be inconceivable without the lifetime achievement of Ferry Porsche. 鈥淎t the beginning I looked around, but I could not find the car I was dreaming of. So I decided to build it myself.鈥?Building the first Porsche 356 and, later, the Porsche 911, Ferry Porsche consistently lived out his dream of 鈥渄riving in its most beautiful form鈥? With a precise feeling for each and every detail, he set the foundation for the Porsche. As the Managing Director and Chairman of the Supervisory Board he shaped the destiny of the Porsche Company for five long decades. In particular, it was his achievement as a visionary and an outstanding entrepreneur to make Porsche the world鈥檚 leading manufacturer of sports cars. When Ferry Porsche passed away on 27 March 1998 - the same year the last air-cooled 911 left the production line - he left the world as one of the last great automobile men. His lifetime of achievement earned a him a position in the European Automotive Hall of Fame. On 19 September 2009 Ferry Porsche would be celebrating his 100th birthday. Among other notable activities, the Porsche Museum will be releasing a new book, Ferry Porsche 100 Years to mark the occasion.

The front seats, however, are comfortable, and they remain supportive even on long drives. Inside, this Porsche looks stylish and modern, and it's quiet even at highway speeds. High-quality materials abound, but some reviewers note that a few plastic pieces keep the 911 from feeling as luxurious as some of its rivals. With just 4.66 cubic feet of space in its trunk, the 911 isn't much of a cargo hauler. That's enough room for about three shopping bags and little else. However, since you're unlikely to have people in the back seat very often, you can use that area as extra storage space. Standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control and the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) infotainment system with a 10.9-inch touch screen, navigation, two USB ports, Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hot spot, an eight-speaker audio system, satellite radio, and Radio Plus. Available features include a sunroof (available in steel or glass), a 12-speaker Bose audio system, a 13-speaker Burmester audio system, and the Porsche Track Precision app.





It's easy to control the PCM infotainment system in a variety of ways: You can use the touch screen, the few physical buttons, or voice commands, and it recognizes handwriting. Phone users also have the option of Apple CarPlay (unlike some competitors, the 911 doesn't offer Android Auto). Radio Plus is one of the more interesting features in this Porsche. It integrates regular radio with internet radio, so if your favorite station has an online channel, it's never out of range. Is the Porsche 911 Reliable? The 2020 911 has a good predicted reliability rating of four out of five from J.D. Porsche covers the 911 with a four-year/50,000-mile warranty. The 2020 911 has not been crash tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Standard safety features include a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and automatic emergency braking. Available active safety features include night vision assist, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane change assist, traffic sign recognition, and a surround-view camera. The 911 is 14.8 feet long. Its curb weight is between 3,382 and 3,641 pounds.





Where Is the Porsche 911 Built? Porsche builds the 2020 911 in Germany. Which Porsche 911 Model Is Right for Me? For now, the redesigned Porsche 911 is only offered in two trims: S and 4S. Both are available in coupe and soft top cabriolet body styles. All 911 models come with a 443-horsepower twin-turbo six-cylinder engine and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (a PDK, which stands for Porsche Doppelkupplung). S models come with rear-wheel drive, while 4S models come with all-wheel drive. The previous generation 911 offered several additional models, including the Carrera, Carrera T, Targa 4, GTS, Turbo, GT3, and GT2 RS. At the time of this writing, Porsche has not revealed any details about future availability of these other models. 126,100 for the cabriolet (convertible) model.

Porsche Macan Review




The Porsche Macan is a luxury sports SUV that comes in 5 different trim levels with a variety of petrol and diesel engines. The range starts with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and goes up 3.6L V6 engine. Pricing starts at 拢46,850 for the standard model and rises to 拢70,800 for the range-topping Performance Turbo. Here are the best video reviews of the Porsche Macan, including a summary of the pros and cons of each one. Mat Watson from Carbuyer starts his review by saying how much he loves the Macan. He thinks it's the best mid-sized premium SUV you can buy. He praises how easy and enjoyable it is to drive and also how good it is on fuel. Mat describes the Macan's interior as 'beautiful'. He makes mention of the quality materials used inside, but isn't pleased with the amount of buttons on the centre console. Mat explains how the suspension can be adjusted with the touch of a button to make the car comfortable over bumps, or you can lower it to make the car feel more sporty.





There's lots of legroom available in the back of the Macan, but headroom is limited if you choose the optional panoramic sunroof. Mat also demonstrates the flat-folding back seats that add even more space if required. Mat is shocked that bluetooth is an optional extra. He also mentions that the off-road function in the Macan isn't as good as in the Range Rover Evoque. Video 2 - Whatcar? Darren Moss from Whatcar? Macan and states that it's the perfect sports SUV. He loves how well it drives, along with how comfortable and quiet it can be. With that being said, he's not impressed with the price of some of the optional extras. Darren is pleased with the well-made interior. He likes the materials used and loves the leather seats. He does however mention that the panel that covers the CD drive feels 'flimsy'. Darren finds the Macan to be quiet and comfortable when driving and he loves the diesel engine that he has in his test car. Darren likes the various storage compartments that are located around the car. In terms of rear passenger space, Darren thinks that rivals have more room.





Darren demonstrates how easy it is to set up Bluetooth in the car. He then shows the viewer how to use Apple Car Play, but then mentions that the Audi Q5's infotainment set up is better. James Cleary from Carsguide really likes the Macan. James talks about the beautifully made cabin and says how nice everything feels. He also mentions the good, comfortable leather seats and the high quality finish to the materials used inside the car. James enjoys driving the Macan. He likes the smooth automatic gearbox and he is impressed with how comfortable the car is to drive on the road. James states that the back seats are spacious and that the boot is adequate for its size. He likes the fact that the middle rear seat has a folding armrest inside with two large cup holders. Standard technology includes a 10-speaker audio system, 3 zone climate control, auto parking and several USB ports. James is very impressed with these features. Andy Pringle from Auto Trader states that the Macan is more "sports car than SUV". He praises its sleek and sporty look, but mentions that some external features such as the wheels and side skirts are very expensive extras. Andy is impressed with the electrically operated seats, and the 911-like driving position. He describes the interior as being "classic Porsche" and speaks highly of the plush materials inside. Andy highlights this a potential problem. He goes then on to talk about how comfortable the car is to drive on the road, and that it's good off-road too.





The GTS chooses the gist of this Cayman up a degree and starts to measure the feet of their 911 Carrera, together with similar performance amounts and striking tackling. The 20-19 Porsche Cayman gt-s is powered with a 4 liter 2.5-litre engine which creates 365 hp and 430 Nm of torque. This power travels into the back wheels with a 6-speed manual gear box. The GTS could accelerate from 0-62 MPH in 4.6 minutes, on a top rate of 180 MPH. Expected mph is approximately 28 on a joint cycle, even with the CO2 figures approximately 2-10 g/km. How Can IT DRIVE? Get driving of this 20-19 Porsche Cayman gt-s and first thing you鈥檒l see is the way implanted the car feels. The plan helps to ensure that the middle of gravity is still quite low and also the version is just like it鈥檚 stuck into the tarmac. This, then, inspires confidence in the driver, specially when handling flowing corners. This experience has been further enhanced with its absolutely engineered steering set.





The feedback is indeed good you will soon be in touch with the automobile in almost no time in any way. The handling set up of this automobile is ideal! There鈥檚 also a great deal of urgency when it has to do with power shipping. That is readily controlled by the motorist so that flying is a piece of cake. However, while you would like to really go fast or perform some over taking, the 20-19 Porsche Cayman gt-s delivers break-neck rolling speed that鈥檒l surprise supercar owners. Once you pass the traffic, consuming the available road is strictly what that the 20-19 Porsche Cayman gt-s was created for. It鈥檚 really a bit stiffer and thinner compared to the S, however it鈥檚 still comfortable on long drives. Even the Cayman gt-s will out perform cars above its power class daily on A Roads due to the way it can hold speeds right into and out of corners with absolute ease.

Porsche GTstreet RS By TechArt




TechArt will be one of the exhibitors at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show and they have a new project to display: the GTstreet RS. The supercar has as much as 770 PS available on tap. It sounds like a modified version of the GT2 RS. Besides the new supercar, TechArt has other surprises in store. One of them is the power boost for Porsche鈥檚 E-Hybrids. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid comes with an increased output from 680 PS and 850 Nm of torque to 770 PS and 980 of torque. The model has an aftermarket exhaust as well, along with an exterior styling package and interior upgrades. The top notch interior developed with premium furniture design brand Rolf Benz, which debuted in the Porsche Cayenne Turbo last year, will be showcased in Geneva as well. Additionally, the other versions of the flagship SUV will be on display at TechArt, boasting different personalization options and power kits.





Porsche's 718 family of mid-engined sports cars is fantastic, but some people still can't get over the fact that the engine lineup consists exclusively of four-cylinder engines. Whether we're talking about the standard, the S, or the GTS versions, the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman feature only force-fed flat-four powertrains. That's certainly a problem for customers who are nostalgic for the era of naturally aspirated flat-six engines 鈥?which hasn't ended that long ago for Porsche. Well, purists can rejoice because Porsche will once again offer a naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer engine on the Cayman and Boxster. There's a catch, though: the unit will only be offered in the range-topping 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Boxster Spyder. You can see the convertible version in these photos taken by our spy photographers near the Arctic Circle, where the Spyder is undergoing development testing. The prototype featured no camouflage whatsoever, allowing us to admire the beautiful design of the fabric top as well as the muscular lid that covers it when the roof is down. Oh, and there's also a new rear bumper with a more prominent diffuser, and round exhausts tips moved further away from each other compared to the GTS. Those of you with a keen eye for detail have already noticed that the Spyder prototype features a GTS front bumper with the Sport Design package front apron. Rest assured, however: the production version will get a unique front bumper as well. Regarding the powertrain, Porsche is not very generous with the details, but we do know the flat-six engine is naturally aspirated and works with a six-speed manual transmission as standard. Nevertheless, a PDK dual-clutch automatic may be offered as an option too. Maximum output is expected to hover around the 400 horsepower mark.





Bentley has announced its presence at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show with a trio of vehicles, including the new Bentayga V8.

2019 Porsche Macan S Long-Term Road Test




There's a guy that lives in a modest white farmhouse about 50 miles south of Salt Lake City. His house is visible from I-15, as it sits just a few hundred yards west of the interstate, and it's the absolute perfect backdrop for his ride. Sitting in front of this man's house was his car. His beautiful car. Parked under a tree. On the grass. Within spitting distance of his front door. There sat a near perfect replica of Bo and Luke Duke's General Lee. An orange 1969 Dodge Charger artistically festooned with a "01" on each door and the now-controversial stars and bars on its roof. I could even make out the correct push bar on the nose and of course the classic Mopar's 15-inch black and silver Vector wheels. I was in awe. See full article and comment. Our 2015 Porsche Macan S comes standard with all-wheel drive.





Included is this gauge which shows torque-split in real time. It's constantly dancing around in ways that approximate how it's distributing torque to where grip is most needed. That sending torque to the wheels with the most grip is an inarguable point. Whether you need to know what it's doing, or more philosophically whether you need to see it, is less clear. See full article and comment. Our long-term 2015 Porsche Macan S passed the 15,000-mile mark while Scott was driving through Utah. More about his trip will be coming soon. See full article and comment. One of the nicest things about a Porsche 911 (such as our former long-termer) is sliding into its snug cabin. The seat pulls you in and hugs you tight. And off you go. See full article and comment. 2015 Porsche Macan: The Best Porsche? Is the 2015 Macan S the best Porsche? Well, the existence of the 911, Cayman, Boxster and their great many great variations would indicate otherwise. So too would the usually merry band of monogrammed polo shirt-wearing Porschephiles who would surely threaten my very existence should I be serious about answering my rhetorical question in the affirmative.





See full article and comment. Our 2015 Porsche Macan S's fuel economy nudged ever so slightly up in February and we (or rather, I) managed to set a new mpg tank record. Unfortunately, neither is especially impressive. See full article and comment. I'm surprised that the start/stop system in our 2015 Porsche Macan S isn't smoother, mostly because everything else in this performance SUV is excessively precise. From the sharp-shifting transmission to the buttons on the steering wheel, most everything works with a click or a snap. See full article and comment. Loading the 2015 Porsche Macan S with miscellaneous stuff seems almost sacrilegious. But then, if Porsche didn't want you to use their vehicles for mundane tasks, why would they build a "low-priced" SUV? See full article and comment. My Giant XTC hard tail is a fairly big mountain bike. Confusingly, small Giant bicycles exist, but mine truly fits the name: it's an XL-sized frame and it rolls on 29-inch wheels. Despite its dimensional bigness, it fits in the back of our 2015 Porsche Macan, but only just. See full article and comment.





When we got our 2015 Porsche Macan S back from Stokes Tire Repair, they had balanced all of the tires to the recommended spec. Our Macan's TPMS measures the psi as the vehicle is moving. But unlike our long-term Mini Cooper it performs this action very quickly. It's complete by the time I get out of our parking garage. And if I leave the display on the instrument panel, it keeps adjusting on the fly. See full article and comment. Our 2015 Porsche Macan S isn't the biggest SUV on the block. Trading the size of the Cayenne for the extra maneuverability and fuel efficiency is generally a tradeoff I'm happy with and I generally like SUVs. See full article and comment. When I got into our long-term 2015 Porsche Macan S in the morning, the TPMS went off immediately. It said the right rear tire was down 7 psi. I got out to look it over and found a large nail embedded in it. See full article and comment.

Porsche 911 Carrera (2019)




In the Porsche 911 Carrera, optimised fuel consumption is complemented by Porsche-style downsizing: The 3.4-litre engine delivers more power from a smaller displacement than its predecessor with a displacement of 3.6 litres. That means the Porsche 911 Carrera with PDK is the first Porsche sports car to make it below the 200 g/km CO2 emissions threshold. With its completely revamped suspension featuring numerous redeveloped components, the Porsche 911 Carrera raises the driving dynamics bar yet another notch. The longer wheelbase alone, combined with the wider track width at the front, generates an entirely different geometry with more sure-footed tracking and roll stability at high longitudinal and cornering speeds. With the new electro-mechanical power steering, the Porsche engineers managed to develop a system that combines Porsche's trademark precision and feedback with superior consumption and comfort for the very first time. As the system only requires power when steering, the electro-mechanical system saves at least 0.1 litres per 100 kilometres. The new active Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), available for the Carrera S as an optional extra, expands the lateral dynamics boundaries yet again by a sizeable margin.





PDCC is an active roll compensation system that detects the very instant the vehicle begins to roll when cornering, eliminating it almost entirely. The system makes for greater agility in every speed regime, improved cornering and stable load change behaviour. PDCC therefore represents a new highlight in terms of driving dynamics. Making its debut in the Porsche 911 Carrera S, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), featured as standard, ensures even better tracking and tracking stability, together with reduced sensitivity to load changes. Together with a seven-speed manual transmission, this system comprises a mechanical rear differential lock and variable torque distribution to the rear axle. In vehicles fitted with the Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK), the even higher-performance PTV Plus comes with the electronically controlled, fully variable, rear differential lock. PTV or PTV Plus further improves agility and steering precision by means of selective braking interventions applied to the inside rear wheel. PTV and PTV Plus are also available for the 911 Carrera as an optional extra. To complement the Porsche 911 Carrera's new exterior, the Porsche designers created an interior, the architecture of which takes its cue from the Porsche Carrera GT.





The driver is now even more closely integrated with the cockpit thanks to the centre console rising up to the front with the high-mounted gear lever or gear selector located especially close to the steering wheel in typical motorsport fashion. The most important function and settings buttons for operating the vehicle are grouped in logical clusters on the centre console. Centrally located in the completely redeveloped dashboard, a larger seven-inch touch screen is used to control a rich array of functions. Naturally, the classic, established Porsche touches, such as the five round instruments with the centrally located rev counter and the ignition lock to the left of the steering wheel are also to be found in the new model. Also, both driver and front passenger are seated on newly developed sports seats with electric four-way adjustment. Additional sports seat versions with 14 and 18-way adjustment are also available as an option.





In recent years, tech companies and traditional automakers alike have been wary of any legislation that attempted to set parameters for self-driving deployments, and they have campaigned against much proposed legislation. General Motors, however, takes exception to the idea that autonomous testing is best served by an unregulated approach. 鈥淲e think legislators have an important role to play in making sure these vehicles are being put on the road in a safe way,鈥?said GM鈥檚 Lightsey. 鈥淲e disagree with the idea that states can just stand by and let people put vehicles on the road. Safety may be GM鈥檚 stated reason for supporting the legislation, but USC law professor Bryant Walker Smith sees an additional motivation. He says the company鈥檚 new eagerness to push legislation is a signal that it鈥檚 ready to deploy. 鈥淔or a long time, automakers have said this should be addressed at the federal level, and in some ways, that鈥檚 legitimate,鈥?he said. 鈥淏ut what it seems to say is, 鈥楧on鈥檛 do anything until we鈥檙e ready.鈥?At a point when a company figures out what it wants, that鈥檚 going to change.





In a new video, Porsche continues to tease its ambiguous Project Gold. The video above shows the dip painting process that gives the shell the same coating as modern Porsches. The latest teaser reveals the 993 body that forms the basis for Project Gold. The intakes in the rear help identify it as a Turbo S. Contrary to the design sketches in the original teaser Porsche released, it doesn't seem that the development team makes any modifications to the rear section of the roof. The Project Gold also sports a set of black, five-spoke wheels that have gold accenting the center and around the rim, which should give the Project Gold a rich, handsome look. Inside the cabin, Porsche fitted the seats with perforated leather for the center sections and fine-grained hides for the bolsters. Another touch of gold to be noted is in the stitching of the seams and the "Turbo" embroidery on the headrest.

The 2019 Porsche Cayman gets a new exterior color, Satin Metal Grey Metallic. Additionally, hatchback models at the moment are out there with the diesel engine.

Imagine plaid seats in a European car with a liftgate and you might start spelling out the letters V-O-L in your mind. It is a signature trait on the Volkswagen Golf GTI, after all. But there鈥檚 another model from another automaker that鈥檚 bringing the option to America. When Volvo revealed the new V60 wagon, it showcased it with a plaid upholstery option. The assumption was that the option wouldn鈥檛 make it to America. But as AutoGuide points out that, the option has now been added to the US configurator. Called 鈥淏lond City Weave Textile Upholstery,鈥?it adds a modern plaid pattern to the seats and door panels, complemented by beige leather trim. Looks pretty stylish to us. Customers can alternatively opt for black, tan, medium brown, or dark brown leather. What鈥檚 more is that the tartan trim can only be had on the Momentum model. The luxed-up Inscription trim comes only with leather, though the choices broaden here to include perforated Nappa leather as well. What鈥檚 surprising is that the lower-level XC40 - the first model in the new entry-level series - can鈥檛 be had with the plaid option. Only leather. But the red hide looks rather tantalizing to our eyes. Nor can you get the tartan upholstery on the XC60, which is positioned alongside the V60 in Volvo鈥檚 latest mid-level lineup. Both the Momentum and Inscription versions of the new V60 come, for the time being, only in T6 AWD trim. The 2.0-liter turbo four generates 306 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. That鈥檚 in the US. Overseas, buyers can also choose from the lower-level T5 model, with the same engine producing 247 hp and 350 Nm of torque, or from a pair of diesels. Expect either or both of the T6 and T8 鈥淭win-Engine鈥?AWD hybrids to follow, with electrically assisted versions of that same engine kicking out a combined 250 hp and 350 Nm or 299 hp and 400 Nm.

Ferdinand Porsche would have to wait until after WW2 to fulfil his dream of creating a sports car from the Volkswagen Beetle. In 1949, the 356 was the first Porsche sports car, and was debuted at the Geneva Motor Show where it created immediate interest. Owners of the 356 were keen to race the car as well as drive it on the streets. As a result, orders reached some 10,000 units by 1964. When production of the Porsche 356 ended in 1965, 76,313 cars had been built. In 1964, the 911 Porsche sports car made it debut. 2, with an air cooled, rear mounted, 2 litre, 6-cylinder, 130 bhp engine. In 1966, the more powerful Porsche 911S was launched with a 160 bhp engine. In 1969, fuel injection was added to the 911S, and the 911E became the new middle of the range model. In 1970, the engine capacity of all 911's was increased to 2195 cc.





In 1972, all models received a larger 2341 cc engine. This was known as the "2.4L" engine. The 911S was the top of the range. In 1973, the next car to be introduced was the 911 Carrera 2.7 RS. It had stiffened suspension and a distinctive rear spoiler. Carrera was Spanish for "race", and the RS meant "racing sports". In 1974, the 911 Carrera 3.0 RS appeared, with Bosch fuel injection and a 230 bhp engine. It was designed with racing in mind, and had a number of successes. In 1974, the 911 Turbo was introduced. The engine was a turbocharged 3 litre, 260 bhp unit. Known as the Type 930, it had distinctive wide wheel arches and a large rear spoiler. In 1976, the Carrera 3.0 was introduced. It used the 930, 3 litre, Turbo engine with Bosch fuel injection, but without the turbocharger. By 1978, the engine of the 930 Turbo had increased to 3.3 litres. In that year, the latest Porsche sports car to be introduced was the 3 litre, 911SC. In essence, this was a Carrera 3.0 with a detuned engine.

New 2019 Porsche Macan GTS




Those who prefer to blaze a trail of their own don鈥檛 need to follow the lead of others. We鈥檙e thinking specifically about cars known as compact SUVs, characterized by five doors, five seats, all-wheel drive - and, of course, a higher sitting position. But aren鈥檛 they lacking a certain something? Something that adds a little life, lets us enjoy a more intimate relationship with the road and delivers intense driving pleasure. A concept that boasts plenty of space for hobbies, leisure and sport. But no room for compromise. Compact, concentrated and intensive, but still powerful. Practical, but never ordinary. Porsche. Utterly unlike any vehicle you'll ever drive. And Porsche Centre Vancouver is like no other dealership you'll ever drive into.

Masterfully blending luxury, sport and utility, each of the fierce competitors is brimming with technology and innovation, not to mention volumes of excess poundage. Realizing that weight is the Achilles heel in this segment, the team at Porsche decided to get up off the sofa and do something about the problem. Porsche's engineering team didn't just accept minor liposuction, they axed the fat off. The weight was shed from the body structure and wheels (lots more aluminum), but most of it was lifted when the Cayenne received a new electronically-controlled all-wheel drive system. All told, Porsche shaved roughly 400 pounds off the Cayenne's curb weight (yes, the weight loss works out to 4,177 Twinkies). On the scale, the new Cayenne S weighs 4,553 pounds while the Cayenne Turbo is 4,784 pounds. For comparison, the BMW X5 xDrive48i spins the dial to 5,335 pounds and the flagship X5 M simply flattens the gauge at 5,368 pounds. The Mercedes-Benz ML550 is 4,883 pounds, while the ML63 AMG weighs in at 5,093 pounds.





Low mass translates to better performance. Porsche says the 2011 Cayenne S model needs just 5.6 seconds to hit 60 mph (top speed is 160 mph) while the Turbo rockets to 60 mph in a conservative 4.4 seconds (top speed: 172 mph). Fuel economy numbers have not been released, but the automaker says we can expect double-digit percentage improvements. As previously mentioned, our introduction to the all-new Porsche Cayenne was, interestingly enough, at the racetrack. This is no ordinary circuit - Barber Motorsports Park is a huge racing facility just outside Birmingham, Alabama. Opened in 2003, it features a beautifully manicured 16-turn, 2.3-mile road course that shames our West Coast facilities (if the Four Seasons hotel chain inexplicably dove into auto racing, this would be its inaugural facility). In addition to the very visible main circuit, hidden within the surrounding woods are countless off-road courses on the 740-acre property, which provided plenty of mud, ruts, hills and water obstacles.





And yes, it's home to the Porsche Sport Driving School. We've driven the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG and BMW X5 M (and X6 M) on the track more than once. Although all were plenty fast, the excitement level of driving 2.5-ton SUVs, even those "race-prepared" models, around a road circuit is akin to shooting glass bottles with a Nerf gun. It simply doesn't get our adrenalin flowing. Minutes later, we are strapped into the bolstered front left seat of the Cayenne. Maneuvering through the corners, we expect body roll, squealing tires and understeer, but the Cayenne fails to deliver the bad news. Instead, it seems to land on its feet with the competence of a luxury sport sedan (it felt like we were driving a BMW 5 Series). Flat in the corners, the center of gravity feels two feet lower (it isn't) as we smoothly flow around the track. This is crazy; the Cayenne has forgotten that it is a sport utility vehicle.
