A diesel Porsche? Given the amazing amount of torque on tap from the fuel, it was only a matter of time—especially for the lux-ute Cayenne. Porsche plans to start selling the SUV’s with a few short months in Europe, powered by a turbo 3.0-liter V6 with 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. That mill [...]
Nissan has made it clear the new 370Z is gunning specifically for the Cayman’s throat. Never one to simply lie down and ignore a challenge, Porsche has bumped up the power on the tasty Cayman. The car now produces 265 horsepower in basic trim, and the primo S model gets 320 ponies. Let’s not forget [...]
Sure the GT-R and ZR-1 lap the ‘Ring super fast. But we’d rather be sitting shotgun with Walter Rohrl in this 70s Porsche 911 3.0 RS. The first comment on the video on YouTube says it all: “Den Film würd ich sogar im Kino gucken! Herr Röhrl + 911 RS 3.0 + Nordschleife = Geburtstag [...]
RaceChairs, a company in the Philadelphia area, is building office furniture that positively twists my brain. With office furniture normally being as exciting as chalkboard erasers, this is quite the coup in and of itself. What these folks have done, you see, is affix the seats out of exotic cars to high quality bases so [...]
No word on exactly where this slick cutaway of the 2010 NSX came from, but AutoExpress is touting it as the real deal. You can plainly see the sexy V10 up front, supposedly laying 560 horsepower on all four corners. For those of you keeping track, that’s more than the Gallardo LP560-4. Honda is hoping [...]

More goodness from the LA Auto Show. Porsche is finally showing off the long-awaited updates for the Cayman and Boxster. Aside from cosmetic updates like new halogen headlights with LED daytime running lights and slightly redesigned tail lights, both cars pack new muscle. Basic versions of the Boxster and Cayman will come with the new [...]
Yes, right, the 2010 Ford Mustang is live on the web! And Mr. Justin and I talk about it. Cause like, you know, new Mustang! Anyhow, we both have high hopes. We also babble on about the new Cube and if they ‘Mericanized it. And then we (kinda) get into Porsches. For just a momemt. But [...]
Every time I neglect to do a POTD a little birdie dies. And every day we neglect to talk about Porches, a baby birdie dies. And a teddy bear, too. Yes, well, that’s a Porsche. Kinda. Purists don’t like it. The engine’s in the middle. Boo. A Le Mans-inspired V10 is certainly not a rollicking flat-6. [...]
Despite what numerous company spokesmen had to say about the death of a pint-sized R8, it looks like an R4 is on the way. Planned to be a mid-engine terror with around 335 horsepower, the car should hit Audi’s line up just above the loveable TT. Kinda makes us wonder where the TTRS comes into [...]

First of all, yes — if Autofiends goes twenty-four hours without mentioning Porsche, Levy takes away my bourbon. Second you’re looking at a beautiful (if I don’t say so) picture of a Porsche 935’s engine exposed and bare for all the world to see. We’ve talked about the epic, Le Mans conquering 935 before (specifically [...]
