Geneva Preview: 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S Gets 530-hp
Feb 08, 2010 - 11:17 AM - by Administrator

As expected, after delivering the 911 Turbo and then producing an updated model with 530-hp, the German sports car experts at Porsche have now revealed the 911 Turbo S with 530-hp – the very same amount produced by the GT2. Using the same twin-turbo flat six, torque has also been upped to 516 ft-lbs enabling an alarmingly fast 0-62 mph time of just 3.3 seconds. Top speed is rated at an impressive 196-hp.

Power is transmitted to the ground with all four wheels via Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters.

Other highlights include launch control, the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) and 19-inch center-locking RS Spyder style wheels.

Both a coupe and cabriolet model will be offered with the official debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March.

Pricing for the car is set at €145,400 for the coupe and €154,900 for the cabriolet, plus tax, with U.S. pricing expected shortly.

Report: Porsche Officially Confirms Baby Boxster Under Consideration
Jan 28, 2010 - 4:31 PM - by Administrator

Porsche has officially confirmed that it is looking at bringing a baby Boxster model to market. Rumored to have been in the works for some time, VW Chairman Dr. Martin Winterkorn told the U.K.'s Autocar that such a sports car is under considreration.

When pressed on the issue, Winterkorn responded: "Let's just say we do not usually waste our effort…"

According to the report, the sports car, rumored to be called the "new 356", won't really be that much under the current Boxster, as Porsche looks to take its Boxster model further up-market. Power would come from a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, making roughly 250-hp. This new model will also share its chassis with Audi's upcoming R4 electric car.

In addition to the new sports car, Winterkorn also confirmed that Porsche is taking a long, hard look at a smaller SUV to slot in underneath the Cayenne.

Report: No Hybrid Sports Cars Says Porsche CEO
Jan 07, 2010 - 2:26 PM - by Administrator

Porsche will not build hybrid versions of its sports cars says company CEO Michael Macht. Both the 911 and Boxster models are off-limits as far as the German sports car maker's hybrid plans are concerned, although Porsche is pushing ahead with plans to launch a hybrid version of the Cayenne SUV.

According to Macht, Porsche doesn't see the technology of batteries as being significantly advanced to live up to the automaker's standards. He also commented that such systems added considerable weight, while stating that as Porsche sports cars aren't used primarily for daily commuting in the city, the advantages of a hybrid setup would not fully be realized.

Macht did, however, say that Porsche is looking to hybrid-type advancements for its cars, including brake regeneration technology and a start-stop system.
