Introducing the 2011 Porsche Cayenne

Posted on 07. Jun, 2010 by PB.

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.

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.

Thanks to the team at vintage racing video website RaceFansTV for guest writing this fantastic post for us. RaceFansTV is an international initiative led by motorsports enthusiasts that aims to bring back much of the great historical racing footage that has been captured since the video camera was invented.

Gold Plated Porsche Cayenne

Posted on 22. Apr, 2009 by PB.

As if the Cayenne doesn’t get flamed enough as it is, someone had to go and throw gold fuel on the already burning fire. To date, I’ve seen “ murdered out” Porsches (flat black), Porsches covered in camouflage , 911s covered in Tweed and other things that defy description , but this is the first time I’ve seen a Cayenne completely covered in gold foil (including the wheels). I know I’m going out on a limb here, but I kind of like this
