A blessing in that it has seems to have transcended the usual automotive evolutionary process; a curse in that the car still, in many ways, defines the entire company. Porsche has attempted to break the mold numerous times over the past three decades -- remember the 928, and the 924/944/968? But until the Boxster -- a clever product development by former R&D chief Horst Marchart that delivered two cars the 996 edition 911 and the Boxster --... Full article...

At last count, there were 13 Porsche Panameras winding their way up and down San Francisco streets. We don't know what could be so challenging in the city by the bay that Porsche would take a huge mule fleet to a crowded city center, but needless to say there have been a lot of pictures taken. This particular lensman was even able to spend enough close up time with a curbside model that he got tire sizes F: 255/40 R20, R: 285/40 R20, a description of the dash, and pictures of the ceramic brakes. We... Full article... Article added: 2008-12-04 15:19:06 Article Views Rating: 81 Main > Car Makers News > Porsche > Porsche and Piech families bury the hatchet, will probably be dug up again...

The new time, with Jan Magnussen at the wheel, is a claimed 7:22.4 for the full 12.93-mile loop. While the number is pretty bloody fast, it is still .3 seconds off the time earned by the Dodge Viper ACR ouch, those three tenths really have to hurt!.
