Deconstructing the Porsche Emblem

Posted on 19. May, 2010 by PB.

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. Racefans TV

All new 500bhp 911 Turbo

The seventh generation Porsche 911 Turbo is an embodiment of all things Porsche. Engineering, style, comfort, and safety all come together to provide raw unrelenting speed and a perpetual smile on the lucky driver’s face. With a cool base price of around £100,000, this road missile will carry you from 0-62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds when coupled with the seven speed PDK transmission.

With any new model in the range, people always debate about what’s changed. Well you read it here first…it has two front seat cup holders. Honestly! The cup holders are of a mediocrity not common for Porsche, but the general consensus is that if you use the cup holders in a bloodthirsty 500-horse power speed machine, you don’t know how to drive it.

When people imagine the name ‘Porsche’, it is safe to say that a large amount instantly think of a big wing on the back of a car which always has on evil grin plastered to its face. The 911 turbo is the reason for this image. It is beautiful. It is efficient. It is cutting edge. It is fast.

The Porsche 944 – A Classic on the Edge

If you were a fan of the 1980’s television show Miami Vice, you saw the Porsche 944 featured over and over. It was an iconic image of style, power and wealth. It has returned with a vengeance and now is considered an emerging classic and retro.The difference is that now you can purchase a Porsche 944 for much less than ever before. It’s possible to get a Porsche 944 at rock bottom prices because their status as a retro classic hasn’t yet been solidified. When that happens, I reckon the value of the 944 is going rise. Looking at the second hand prices, you could buy one right now, then sell it in a year for at least the same money. At a time where second hand prices are dropping like crazy this is definitely food for thought.
