Porsche Panamera – a real Porsche +video
Porsche has produced a promotional video for the new Panamera, putting it on contect with Porsches from the past. We had the same nonsense spouted when the Cayenne was first launched – it’s not a real Porsche and it will wreck the brand. And to be frank, I was probably one of those who had […]
Porsche Panamera Convertible coming
Porsche are planning on adding new variants of the Panamera, including a convertible and perhaps a GT – the new 928. Now that the Panamera is starting to hit the roads round the world speculation continues over Porsche’s future plans on the Panamera. We had a report a month or so ago that VW were […]
Porsche Boxster Speedster – on its way
Porsche has been caught testing a Porsche Boxster Speedster at the Nurburgring. The Speedster is an iconic Porsche. The Porsche 365 Speedster is a 1950s classic, and it looks like Porsche are planning on sprinkling some of that history on the Porsche Boxster, and are planning a lightweight Speedster version of the Boxster before a […]
Porsche 911 Sport Classic – the Video

Porsche has plundered its history to build in to the 911 Sport Classic styling cues from the past. The Sport Classic gets a ‘Duck-Tail’ […]
Porsche Cayenne & Panamera to be axed?
That headline sounds a bit like a died-in-the-wool Porsche fanatics dream scenario. Dump the models they don’t consider to be ‘real’ Porsches and concentrate on the 911. Oh, and if they must – just for the poor, you understand – make the Boxster and Cayman so the hoi polloi can get a taste of the […]
Porsche BlueSport back on
The changing fortunes at Porsche are bringing fresh thoughts on the future of Stuttgart. It’s not very long since Porsche stated that they would not build a BlueSport Porsche, but it looks like the new Porsche boss Martin Winterkorn has very different ideas. But as the boss of VW, that’s hardly surprising. In an interview […]
Porsche gets raided by the Rozzers!
Not having a good time of things lately, the boys in Stuttgart. First Porsche effectively go bust trying to take over Volkswagen, and now the Rozzers have been in to turn the place over. Oh, dear. Porsche has announced that this morning, officials from the public prosecutor’s office in Stuttgart with judicial search warrants arrived […]
2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Video
It looks a bit like John got out of bed on the wrong side this morning judging by the piece he did on the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. But then has a big hang-up about what he sees as unnecessary weight saving. But being a fat old man that’s hardly surprising! He still bangs […]
