Porsche has always been a name commonly associated with top of the line, high performance sports cars. With Porsche’s introduction of the Cayenne in recent years, they’ve managed to create a new market for the car enthusiast. The Cayenne gives a sports car fanatic the speed, performance and look of a sports car along with the additional seating and cargo that an SUV provides. It’s the ideal vehicle for the sports car bachelor-turned-family-man or the housewife that’s anti-minivan.

Thinking of the power of a Porsche 911 conjures up images of the metal-ripping, tyre-squealing car chase scenes from the ’80s classic film ‘No Man’s Land’.
The highlight of the movie is a 7-minute car chase, which packs quite a punch. The scene begins with a sense of reckless anticipation, as friends Ted and Benjy, played by Charlie Sheen and BD Sweeney, smoothly carjack a silver 911 Porsche from a basement car park of a shopping mall. As they make for the exit, a red Boxster catches Ted’s eye. Five seconds later, he is in the process of ripping off the soft-top hood when his enemies spot him from across the car park.

What happened in journalist Peter Cheney’s garage was any parent’s nightmare. Peter Cheney is an automotive journalist who writes for the Globe and Mail, a Canadian news publication. Peter frequently test drives automobiles and writes reviews of his experience driving the cars. Recently, Cheney was given an opportunity to take home a Porsche 911 Turbo, valued at $180,000. Cheney was supposed to keep the car for a few days so that he could write a full review of the luxury automobile’s performance and handling. Ideally, he was supposed to return the vehicle in one piece.
Instead, Peter came home to find his garage in shambles and the Porsche badly damaged. Read on for the full story and photos!

The Porsche name is recognized for superb styling on top of innovative engineering, but until 1952 the Stuttgart-based automotive manufacturer portrayed itself to the world as only that: a name. For 31 years, the Porsche brand consisted of seven sleek letters but had no face attached to its name. No mark, emblem, nor ideogram to distinguish its cars from the masses and therefore no burning scar in the minds of consumers embodying the Porsche experience and history.

One wonders how could anything improve on the last 911 RS, yet with engine, transmission and suspension all matched for performance, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS yet again sets a new standard for high-end performance Porsches.
The 3.8 liter engine in the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is fine-tuned right down to the air filters and flywheel – all designed for top-notch performance whether on the track or the road. This outputs four hundred and fifty horsepower and to be honest, trying to tame this on anything other than a track would make you a lot braver than I am. If it’s anything like the last model, then it’s not that it’s difficult to control, it’s more that it needs a better driver than I am to get the best out of it. No…I’m not even embarrassed to admit it. The last one scared me..just a wee bit mind…I even had a strange premonition of wrapping it round a tree.
