It’s a real sign of the times that Porsche is pushing ahead with Hybrid and diesels. Unthinkable just a few years ago, but the diesel Cayenne is already here, and now proper details are emerging on the Hybrid version. As you would expect with Porsche, their Hybrid is not exactly going to be a slouch. […]
The Smart Car has competition – Perhaps!

Porsche GT3 to launch at Geneva
The next in line for the mid-life facelift (Gen 2) of the Porsche 911 is the GT3, following on from last year’s revisions to the Carrera and Targa. The GT3 has had only minor modifications to its looks, instead the detail, as you would hope, has gone on under the skin. The engine has gone […]

VW BlueSport Concept moves nearer to reality
We reported last week on the VW BlueSport Concept, a relatively economical 2 seat roadster, which VW unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show. We said then that if we were VW we’d be pressing the start button as soon as possible, and reports seem to indicate that that is exactly what VW are hoping to […]

The Porsche Panamera has been coming for so long now that it almost seems like Porsche are announcing the debut of a new version. But no, this is the first ever Panamera and Porsche has today announced that it will debut at the Shangahi Motor Show in April. It’s a sign of the growing importance […]
