Bradford tuners Project Kahn have created the Porsche Panamera Wide Body Edition with a decent-looking body kit and interior re-trim. There was a time when you expected anything that dropped in to the inbox from Project Kahn to be a bejewelled and bewinged version of one Range Rover or another. But no more, as Afzal [...]
Yesterday we brought you a teaser video for a drag race between the Infiniti M35h Hybrid and Porsche Panamera S Hybrid. Guess who won? It seemed pretty clear that Infiniti knew their M35h hybrid had the edge over the Porsche Panamera S Hybrid before they went ahead and set up a drag race to prove their point. [...]
The Infiniti M35h Hybrid is billed by Infiniti as the world’s fastest hybrid. And now they’re pitching it against the Porsche Panamera S Hybrid. When the Infiniti M35h Hybrid was revealed at the Paris Motor Show in 2012, we were suitably impressed that Infiniti were happy to trumpet its performance more than its eco-credentials. Instead of crowing about pointless CO2 emissions, [...]
The second generation Porsche Cayenne – launched in 2009 – has now reached 100,000 cars produced. They said it would be a failure when the Porsche Cayenne first appeared back in 2002. But nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the Porsche Cayenne has become the cash cow for Porsche that allows it [...]
Just a few days after the reveal of the 2012 / 2013 Porsche Boxster and Porsche Boxster S, we get the first video of the Boxster S. It’s a little unfair, but the Porsche Boxster gets tarred as the Porsche for the man (or woman) who can’t afford the real thing – a Porsche 911. But that [...]
The 2012 Porsche Boxster has been revealed with a new lightweight body, revised chassis and engines – and looking much the same as the old Boxster. The 2012 Porsche Boxster (or, as always, if you’re on the other side of the Pond, the 2013 Porsche Boxster) has been revealed, not at the Detroit Auto Show, [...]
The Porsche 918 Spyder is to get a 4.6 litre V8 and lose one of its electric motors when it launches after a Frankfurt 2013 debut. It’s almost two years since the Porsche 918 Spyder debuted at the Geneva Motor show as a potential 21st century eco-replacement for the Carrera GT. The amount of interest shown – [...]
Ahead of its official public debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, We have new video of the 2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet. We may have had the reveal of the 2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet (and the 911 S Cabriolet too) back in November, but the 911 Cabriolet is only due to get its public [...]
VW Group is planning to launch Porsche India in 2012 and is expected to import the full range of Porsche cars and planning CKD assembly of the Cayenne.

Just days after the 2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet was revealed we have video from Porsche of the Carrera and Carrera S Cabriolet.

Porsche has only just revealed the 2012 Panamera GTS at the L.A. Auto Show, but they’ve already managed to send us video of the GTS on track. The new Porsche Panamera GTS is the latest Panamera variant to arrive – the ninth Panamera, no less – and is, as all Porsche GTS models are, a harder-edged take [...]
Porsche has revealed the Panamera GTS as the L.A. Auto Show with 4WD and a naturally aspirated V8 delivering 424bhp. Now that we’re a couple of years in from the launch of the Porsche Panamera, Porsche think it’s about time we got to know the hard-edge side of the Panamera, so the LA Auto Show has seen the [...]
Porsche are taking the new 911 Carrera for its US première at the LA Motor Show, but are promising a new Porsche world première too. Of what? With the Los Angeles Motor Show looming later this month, car makers are starting to tease. And Porsche are teasing with their offerings for LA with the promise of a world [...]
Porsche has reported profits up by 25 per cent for the last month, driven by sales of the Porsche Cayenne which are up 74 per cent. Building the Cayenne will be the end of Porsche, cried the Porsche anoraks when Stuttgart entered the SUV fray with the Cayenne back in 2003. But nothing could be [...]
A sleepy San Francisco resident awoke to find the 2012 Porsche Boxster, 911 Turbo, 911 Targa, 911 Cabrio & new Cayman on his street. Fortunately, he managed to shoot it on his phone. There are umpteen people round the world who make a living from camping out in inhospitable terrain in the hope of snapping a new car before the [...]
Porsche has revealed that the new 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S is 13 seconds quicker round the Nurburgring than the old 911, and quicker even than the 997 GT3. Porsche had something of a spat recently with the Nissan GT-R, with both parties keen to show their car was the quickest. But Porsche has now got over that [...]
The 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S come as standard – for the first time – with a new 7- speed manual gearbox. We have video of the ‘box in action. Some of us are old enough – just – to remember when a 3-speed gearbox was normal. And, quite often, located on the [...]
With the new 911 heading for Frankfurt in a couple of weeks, Porsche are upping the PR with new photos, new video and the new 911 Configurator going live. The 2012 Porsche 911 will officially arrive in a couple of weeks time at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and Porsche are taking every opportunity to shove [...]
We have the first video of the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S after its recent reveal. The 2012 Porsche 911 will début at Frankfurt 2011. As is the way, we’ve had video of the 2012 Porsche 911 before.

Porsche has revealed photos and details of the new 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera ahead of Frankfurt 2011. Costs from £71,449. In the UK December.

The first photos of the 2012 Porsche 911 have leaked out, more than a month before the 911 is due to debut at Frankfurt. You could argue, quite convincingly, that the first photos of the new Porsche 911 for 2012 are not exactly a big deal. And in some ways you’d be right. You’d be right because we’ve had endless spy shots of [...]
We have video of the 2012 Porsche 911 (911) taken at a petrol station in Germany with almost no disguise – except for the lights. It’s quite hard to find anything new to report about the 2012 Porsche 911 – at least on how it looks – when Porsche themselves release ‘spy’ video of the new 911. [...]

This Singer makes glorious recreations of the 1970s Porsche 911, in beautifully crafted, [...]
