Porsche Power and the Adrenaline Rush in the Fast Lane

Posted on 31. May, 2010 by PB.

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.

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.

All new 500bhp 911 Turbo

Posted on 05. Sep, 2009 by PB.

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.

9ff GTurbo’s Speedo, Pure Acceleration Video

Posted on 24. Jul, 2009 by PB.

How much would you love one of these…check out this video of a 9ff GTurbo doing 0-273kph! The video is from the guys over at Wildest Cars and is most definitely worth of a re-post. Keep up the good work!

“The turbocharged GT3 RS with 750bhp, doing what it does best. Now we didn’t actually start from 0, it was more like 8, but you know, we tried…It can’t get the power down in the first few gears, but the sheer thrust of the thing in the higher gears was and is borderline insane!

The Porsche 944 – A Classic on the Edge

Posted on 03. Jul, 2009 by PB.

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.
