  • Maria Sharapova and her Porsche Panamera GTS

    Maria Sharapova is the new Porsche Brand Ambassador, who presented her interpretation of an exceptional sportscar in the luxury segment – the Porsche Panamera GTS. The unique four-door coupe comes with a lot of individualization options available through the Porsche Exclusive program.

    The Panamera GTS by Maria Sharapova boasts a high-gloss white paintjob with black LED headlights, tinted LED taillights, black tailpipes and 20” black alloy wheels. There is also an extended leather trim in the interior with decorative stitching in crème. The instrument dials are painted in the body colour white as well as the vehicle key. The front and rear headrests are embossed with the Porsche crest and the armrests are customised with the “Panamera GTS” model logo. The carbon door sill guards feature individual “Maria Sharapova” lettering.

    The engine is the well-known 4.8 liter naturally-aspirated V8 – 440HP (324 kW) at 6,700RPM. 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 288 km/h (179 mph). The fuel consumption is decent – 15.7 l / 100 km in city; 7.8 l / 100 km on the highway and 10.7 l / 100 km on combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 249 g/km.

  • Dodge Viper GTS Heffner Performance Drag Racing [VIDEO]

    Heffner-Dodge-Viper-GTS-shadowHeffner-Dodge-Viper-GTS-mediumDid you start the day today and think “I want to watch a video of a 650 hp Dodge Viper GTS taking on – with various success – some of the established names in a head-to-head drag race”? Weirdly specific, but luckily, here’s one. It’s a Viper GTS which has been touched up by the turbo maniacs, Heffner Performance. The final product shows off 650 hp and a hell of a voice.

    Let us break down the video for you. We get to see some close up, off-the-line action of the GTS as it gives a Nissan R35 GT-R a run for its money. Then there’s another round, but this time the foe is an Aston Martin Vantage. We get no closure in either cases because the clip quickly cuts after the initial “go”. All pays off, however, as we get to see a full GTS vs Aventador LP700 showdown. Great start on part of the Viper, but eventually the Lambo becomes too much to handle and the former falls short of victory. Eventually, we get another R35 GT-R competitor (or the same one). Again a great start for the Viper and this time it manages to keep the pole position throughout the race, although it was evident that the Nissan was starting to catch up.

    Regardless, drag races are all about acceleration delivered at the right time. Oh, and they are also about the noise, and the smell of rubber… and demolished clutch disks.

  • 2014 Vauxhall VXR8 GTS – Price £54,999

    The new Vauxhall VXR8 GTS is the most powerful production car ever to emerge from Australia. It is priced at £54,999 in the UK and allows owners the least expensive membership into the 500+HP club.

    The new VXR8 GTS is powered by a 6.2 liter LSA supercharged V8 – 576HP (426 kW) and 739Nm (545 lb-ft) of torque, which is 150HP and 190Nm more than the previous VXR8. 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) – electronically limited.

    To cater for the extra performance, the GTS is fitted with an all-new Brake-Torque Vectoring system that applies braking to the inside rear wheel and transfers torque to the outside rear wheel to reduce understeer during high-speed manoeuvres.

    The GTS also receives the latest generation Magnetic Ride Control with three independent settings. Hardware and software improvements deliver greater body control, sharper handling and a significantly more pliant ride quality, compared with the outgoing model.

  • World Premiere of 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS in Beijing

    2013-Porsche-Cayenne-THUMBThe high-performance SUV 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS is to make a world debut in Beijing. The vehicle delivers 420 hp (309 kW) and now comes with lowered chassis and improved driving dynamics.

    The brand will finally unveil the second-generation Cayenne GTS at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition in just two weeks. The popular SUV’s design is based on the Cayenne S. However this new model comes with 20 additional horsepower, a 20 mm lower ride height and a lower final drive ratio which equals improved driving dynamics.

    The power of the 420 hp comes from the V8 engine (an active All-Wheel-Drive system) coupled to an eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission with integrated Auto Start Stop function. This is unique combination, indeed, because it enables the Cayenne GTS to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 5.4 seconds and achieve a top-track-speed of 162 mph.

    The exterior of the car is no less than unique as well. The 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS can be effortlessly recognized by its high-gloss black trim, prominent side skirts and wider wheel arches as well as the hood and front fascia from the Cayenne Turbo.

    In addition, this SUV rides on 20-inch RS Spyder wheels with a one-of-a-kind offset for the GTS. They come as a standard. What comes also as a standard is the sport exhaust system with matte black twin tailpipes.

    Furthermore, two new colors are available for the Cayenne GTS: Peridot Metallic and Carmine Red.
    The interior of the Cayenne GTS includes exclusive GTS eight-way adjustable front sports seats with Alcantara accents. What is more here is the new Sport Chrono package, which is now available to monitor the advanced performance offered by this amazing GTS model. A Sound Symposer channels genuine engine intake sounds into the cabin.

    The 2013 Cayenne GTS will go on sale in the U.S. in August 2012, with a base price of $82 050.

  • 2012 Porsche Panamera GTS [HD video]

    Autocar.co.uk has revealed a video review of the new 2012 Panamera GTS. The four-door coupe car come with some nice updates: better efficiency, more power, nicer sound and lowered air suspension as standard.

    It is powered by a 4.8 liter V8 with 430PS (316 kW) at 6700RPM and 520Nm (385 lb-ft) at 3500RPM. The engine is mated to a 7-speed Porsche DKG gearbox. 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and Vmax – 288 km/h (179 mph). The fuel consumption is very good too – 21.6 mpg US with 256 g/km CO2. The kerb weight is 1920 kg.

    The improved chassis features aptive air suspension combined with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The comfort and driving dynamics are boosted by adjusting the spring rate and electrically adjusting the damping system, combined with a self-levelling height adjustment function. Panamera GTS sits 10 mm lower than the other models in the range. Dynamic performance is further enhanced by the combination of 19” diameter Panamera Turbo wheels, 5 mm rear wheel spacers and larger brake discs from the Turbo – recognisable by their red brake callipers.

    The Sound Symposer, which can be activated or deactivated by the Sport button directs intake noise into the interior by an acoustic channel picking up the intake vibrations between the throttle valve and air filter.

    Other interesting feature is the standard Sport Chrono package including Sport Plus programme. In the ultimate Sport Plus mode, the adaptive air suspension lowers the vehicle to the low setting and switches to a harder spring rate. The rear spoiler angle of attack also changes to the performance-oriented setting.

    The interior of the new Panamera GTS can be styled according to customer’s taste. There are leather and Alcantara – with a choice of five interior colours. The centre panels of the adaptive 18-way adjustable sports seats, the upper sections of the door armrests and front centre console armrest and roof lining are in Alcantara.

    2012 Porsche Panamera GTS will be priced from around $144 100.
