  • Vorsteiner Porsche 911 Carrera S Runs Faster With V-FF 101 Wheels?

    Vorsteiner-911-Carrera-S-V-FF-101-THUMBAlthough the latest Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S debuted more than two years ago they are still desired object for customization. This time the responsible for the tuning are the fellows at Vorsteiner – a Californian based tuning company with a rather German name. We see from the beautiful pictures they have sent us, that Porsche’s original blue color is complemented by new wheels in very special color. In this way the car not only looks more sporty, but it definitely receives a shade of individuality.

    Precisely, the most recent photo shoot that the company has made highlights the new V-FF 101 Flow Forged Wheels. They are lightweight and were specifically developed for the Porsche 991 Carrera S.

    The eye-catching color of the wheels is called Carbon Graphit, while their dimensions are 20×8.5 at the front and 20×11 at the rear. Vorsteiner has used Standard Profile on the front and Concave Profile for the rear in order to advantage of Porsche’s original tire sizes. This means that the 245/35/20 tires at the front and 295/30/20 Pirelli tires at the rear are are rub-free even after a moderate drop.

    2012 Porsche 911 Carrera is motivated by the 350-horsepower (261 kW) coming from the 3.4-liter boxer engine. On the other hand the Carrera S delivers 400 hp (298 kW) from 3.8-liter boxer engine. The acceleration time for the first from 0 to 100 km/h is estimated at 4.4 seconds, while the Carrera S covers this sprint in just 4.1 seconds.

    The time for acceleration is further reduced to 3.9 seconds when 911 is equipped with the Sports Chrono Package Plus. Top-track-speeds for the 911 Carrera and Carrera S are 179 mph (288 km/h) and 188 mph (303 km/h), respectively.

  • Genuine Porsche 917 Racer at Classic Motor Show

    Even though Steve McQueen was the leading actor in the film Le Mans, all of us are fully aware who the real star was. Or rather, not “who” but “what” and this is precisely the Porsche 917. And now the racer is going to appear at Classic Motor Show which takes place at the NEC from 14th to 16th of November.

    The genuine Porsche 917 is generously supplied by Classic Autos of Kings Langley and is going to be transported from the fantastic Spa museum in Stavelot, Belgium to Birmingham. The car is chassis 917 013/034 and it took part in the 1970 movie where it was driven by the King of Cool or also known as Steve McQueen.

    The movie-star, no, I’m not talking about the actor but about the Porsche, also scooped a range of highly significant race wins including the Daytona 24 Hours and Monza 1000km, and was driven by legends such as Derek Bell, Pedro Rodrîguez, Jo Siffert, Richard Attwood, Gijs van Lennep and Jackie Oliver.

    Undoubtedly, due to its previous fame the 917 will be in the center of attention at the Classic Motor Show which means there will be a huge flow of onlookers, visitors and fans. The Classic & Sports Car editorial team will be available all weekend and will meet enthusiasts and show-goers who can take advantage of special subscription offers and a great variety of free gifts.

  • Gemballa Says Goodbye to Mirage GT

    Gemballa-Mirage-GT-No23-THUMBSadly we have come to the point when there will be only two Gemballa Mirage GTs left. Yes, the run on the last two has begun, because the series is limited to 25 cars and we have already counted to 23. This makes the Mirage a collector’s item and its value is going to rise very soon. The legendary car is based on the Porsche Carrera GT, but has more power and exclusivity to show. In terms of appearance, this car almost has nothing to do with the Porsche.

    Furthermore, the sports car is powered by the 5.7l/10 cylinder engine, which is uprated from 612 hp (450 kW) to 670 hp (493 kW) and its torque from 590 Nm (435 lb-ft) to 630 Nm (465 lb-ft). What is more: the modified Porsche reaches 100 km/h in only 3.7 seconds on the way to a top speed of 335 km/h.

    For the faster acceleration time also contributes the new body kit, which was made of real carbon fibres. In addition, the aprons and the striking rear spoiler raise the surface pressure and keep the car safely on the road, regardless the speed. The three-part air inlet, which stretches across the entire front and the recessed door elements, also stands out.

    The engineers at Gemballa also installed a sport-type coupling with special linings. They are perfect for the “stop and go” city driving and make it softer and gentler.

    And for those who will miss the Mirage project – don’t worry. Gemballa is currently working on its next limited edition series, the first of which will be based on the Porsche 918 Spider hybrid. With its very aggressive silhouette and coming in only 25 examples, it may become even more exclusive.

  • Cayenne and Cayenne GTS Debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show

    Porsche premiered two new Cayennes, Cayenne and Cayenne GTS, which are slightly more compelling than their predecessors.

    The new 2015 Cayenne GTS gets its power from a 3.6 liter V6 twin-turbo engine, which is a performance-oriented improved version of the new powertrain that was recently presented in the Cayenne S. The GTS’ power output is increased by 20 hp to 440 hp and torque by 62 ft.-lbs. to 445 ft.-lbs., while –observe!- fuel consumption is reduced. Porsche claims that its Cayenne GTS accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.2 seconds and has a top speed of 163 mph. The standard kit includes a sports exhaust, PASM and air suspension, and flared wheel arches. Yet, not to lose itself in too much standard dimensions, Porsche has added a new feature on the front doors: striking GTS lettering! Wow!

    Not to disappoint you but “standard” seems to be the leading factor in terms of the new models for there aren’t too many innovations with the base model. Cayenne is equipped with the familiar 3.6 liter V6 naturally aspirated engine. It produces 300 hp and accelerates the car from 0 to 62 mph in 7.7 seconds – 7.6 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package. Well, there is a slight enhancement obviously because that’s 0.2 seconds faster than before.

    Cayenne and Cayenne GTS are going to celebrating their world debut in November 19th at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Sales of the cars will begin in the United States at the end of February 2015. The price for the Cayenne is $58,300 and for the Cayenne GTS is $95,500.

  • Is Techart’s new Porsche Macan Lineup Character-Oriented?

    Techart-Porsche-Macan-Lineup-THUMBThe famous tuning company Techart, which specializes in modifying Porsche models only, claims that its latest Macan Lineup is “character-orientated”. We are about to put some questions and see whether this is likely to be so or not.  Techart’s fifth generation Macan can show-off with new aerodynamics, better engine performance, new exhaust systems, suspension and wheels as well as interior refinement. So far so good, but lets go further into details.

    First, the aerodynamics program for this Porsche model stands under the slogan “Reduction vs. concentration” and offers the typical design language of the company. Therefore, the attributes of the basic vehicle’s sporty lines are emphasized. Precisely, the aerodynamic elements include new front spoiler, side skirts, roof spoiler, rear spoiler trim and rear diffuser, which were made of high-quality PU-RIM. This material general characteristic is the low weight.

    For those who do not think that these aero-elements are enough to make the car exceptional, then Techart has created for them the in-house made Sports Package Carbon that sets sincere styling highlights. It includes duct trim at the Macan’s front, new side mirror trims as well as roof spoiler. There’s a catch though – they will only be available for all Porsche Macan in carbon fibre.

    Talking about personalization and character-orientated tuning, the customization company is offering attractive accent colour via its individual paint elements like fog light trims, air intake uprights, front wings or side blades fit seamlessly into the desired play of colours. But … is this enough?

    Of course, if there weren’t any power kits for these Porsche Macans, the answer would be probably “No”. However, Techart tuners are thoughtful and have come along with several proposals for power gains. Speaking in these terms, the 6-cylinder engines of the Porsche Macan models are enhanced via company’s power kits, based on the intelligent Techart engine management system, dubbed TECHTRONIC.

    This system elicits additional power output for the petrol and diesel engines and generates approximately 50 hp (37 kW) and 70 Nm (52 lb-ft) more power for the Macan Turbo with just one press of the Sport- or Sport Plus button. Thus the maximum output of the twin-turbo engine becomes 450 horsepower (331 kW) available at 6.200 1/min and 620 Nm (458 lb-ft) at 2.700 1/min. The acceleration time in Sport Plus is measured at 4.4 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h, which is 0.2s faster that the standard model; from 0 to 160 km/h – in 10.6s (standard model 10.9s). The top speed increased from 266 to 271 km/h.

    This additional power has to have its audible equivalent. Here come Techart’s exhaust systems Sport for the Porsche Macan models. They are made of stainless steel, which ensure that you’re not only able to feel, but also hear the strength of the Macan. The electronically valve-controlled exhaust is controllable by the press of a button at centre console.

    As a result, the driver gets a distinctive and rich sound with a high recognition value for the V6 petrol engines. In addition, Techart’s Sport Tail Pipes in stainless steel and attractive dual oval design with embossed logotype provide the visual significance.

    Next are the suspension options that offer additional variability and sportiness. The well known Air Suspension Module Sport of the tuners has been intelligently adjusted to the vehicle levels of the Macan models. It enables ride height adjustment in driving, loading and parking condition for vehicles with standard air suspension. In the low level or driving in Sport Plus mode, the vehicle lowers by 30 mm in comparison to the normal level and remains activated during all speeds.

    The possibilities of individualization for the Porsche Macan models continue with the offering of three wheel designs, available in 21- and 22-inch as well as in various surface finishing combinations. Besides attractive color combinations, they can be customized individually to suit the vehicle in question. Brake calipers can also be customized with unique paint to match the colour combination in the wheel arch.

    At last, we have to review whether Techart interior refinement for the Macan is what will eventually round-out this character-oriented tuning. Inside we see that the exquisite new leather equipment was complemented by tuning company’s interior styling package. The latter features carbon fibre or in exotic woods elements.

    There are new ergonomically shaped 3-spokes multifunctional sport steering wheel with Techart paddle shifters, aluminium sport pedals and foot rests, floor mats, loadspace floor ma as well as illuminated door entry guards. And here is where we feel a little bit disappointed. In general this tuning offers exceptional individual customization … except for the interior. Maybe Techart has to learn something like tuners such as Vilner and A. Kahn Design? What do you think?

  • Porsche Unveils Martini Lineup Including 911, Macan, Panamera and Cayenne

    Porsche-Martini-Lineup-THUMBPorsche has revealed on its official Facebook page its glamorous Martini lineup of vehicles. It includes a yellow 911, green Macan, white Panamera and blue Cayenne. In fact, the iconic Martini Racing stripes have been caught by a photographer on the streets of Sochi, Russia. The result is a stunning picture gallery which you can view below. With it Porsche is celebrating a famous past but also a legendary return.

    There is nothing much said about the vehicles, except for their fuel efficiency and CO2 emission figures. Precisely, the 911 models need around 8.2 – 12.4l/100km of gasoline, while they emit 191 – 289g/km of CO2. These numbers for the Panamera are as follows: 6.4 – 10.7l/100km and CO2 emission of 169 – 249g/km. The Macan needs 6.1 – 9.2l to cover 100km, while it emits 159 – 216 g/km of CO2.

    The big question is why these sports cars and luxury crossovers were at the site of this resort. And perhaps we will have to wait some more time to understand. The latest edition with the Martini livery revealed before this lineup is the 2014 Porsche 911 S Martini Racing Edition.

    It will be produced in only 80 examples and will feature as a standard the Sport Chrono package and a sport steering wheel. Other standard extras include Porsche Communication Management (PCM), black leather-wrapped electric sport seats, tachometer with black gauge and a Bose premium audio system.

    In particular, the car is offered in two colors: white and black, which both feature Martini’s traditional blue-red color scheme on the roof, rear wing, boot lid and sides. Special features here include stainless steel door sill panels with “911 Carrera S – Martini Racing Edition” illuminated lettering, Aerokit Cup front apron and fixed rear spoiler.

    This Porsche is driven by the 3.8 liter flat-six engine which produces 400 horsepower (294 kW) at 7,400RPM and 440 Nm (326 lb-ft) at 5,600RPM. It is no surprise then that the car needs only 4.1 seconds to cover the sprint from standstill to 100 km/h on its way to a top speed of 302 km/h (187 mph).

  • Techart Porsche Cayman Shows-Off with new Rear Spoiler II

    2014-Techart-Porsche-Cayman-THUMBTechart Porsche Cayman now can be proud of its most distinctive part: Techart’s Rear Spoiler II, which is part of the Aerodynamic Program of the tuning company for the current Cayman models. The rear spoiler emphasizes the flat outline and short overhangs of the mid-engine sports car. At the same time it takes the aesthetic and technical requirements into account equally, making the car look more spectacular than ever.

    The new addition to the aerodynamic kit determines Porsche Cayman models visually and in addition, it delivers dynamics and strength to the mid-engine sports car’s flat outline. To be more precise, the characteristic wing profile as well as the base console underneath with functional spoiler lip is made of high-quality PU-RIM material.

    In addition, filigree aluminium uprights with Techart logotype is what allows the driver to adapt the wing profile’s angle manually. This means that the effective aerodynamic surface can be adjusted regarding the driving conditions, or just by the individual preferences of the driver. When combined with tuning company’s Front Spoiler I, the Rear Spoiler II generates ideal handling behaviour.

    The latest addition in the Cayma range was the GTS specificatioin. It is powered by a 3.4 liter flat-six engine, delivering 340 horsepower (250 kW) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque. The Cayman GTS needs just 4.6 seconds to cover the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h on its way to a top speed of 285 km/h (177 mph).
