The latest model Porsche has no wheels

This is a market where the luxury brand, and for some people, even the telephone communication sound better if the cries of the lady out on a terminal designed by a premium brand. Ferrari has a Motorola, Nokia Lamborghini, a Mercedes Asus, and now, Porsche Design, a subsidiary of car manufacturer, has revealed its latest offering with the French Sagem Communication: the P'9521.

All functions that could be expected are present in the P'9521: four GSM bands, 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, recording and playback of MP3 files, video capture, Bluetooth and multimedia messaging are just some of its features . The screen also is doubly articulated, allowing their owners to gamble after a corner to shoot the new Panamera stealthily without anyone see them. That is if they do not betray the reflexes of its exterior, mineral glass and aluminum, materials that will certainly caught most of the dedazo that can identify your fingerprint reader integrated.

This is all we know. At the moment we can only add that will be available in Europe this year, possibly due to the monetary equivalent of a kidney and two corneas.

Three experimental engines in TechArt Porsche magic

The naughty boys had to think of TechArt who had spent the Magi in advance when they opened three engines Porsche pilot in the company. Final Gear reports that two conventional engines and an "engine of the future" missing from a development center Porsche have been found in the workshop of the German coach, to the greater irritation of Stuttgart. TechArt maintains his innocence, claiming that its employees took the engines thinking that 997 were ordinary units, as reported, after realizing the mistake, returned to Porsche engines.

We do not know much beyond what was said, but it seems that Porsche has already called their lawyers, and he proposes to TechArt to court for theft. For the moment, two Porsche employees and two clients have already given their bones in the dungeon.

Porsche refuses to be thinking about a new SUV

Because there is no such thing in their plans. That is what Porsche has responded to a story published in Auto Bild that the Stuttgart manufacturer is thinking of creating a younger brother for the Cayenne using the base of the Audi Q5. The communique, sent by the Porsche to Dow Jones Newswires, categorically denies the veracity of that article, by pulling land the existence of a new SUV.

Porsche has not provided any reason why the Roxster (which really never convinced us of anything) should not exist, although it might be economically viable. Like the Cayenne shares many components with the Audi Q7 and the Volkswagen Touareg, the Roxster could use largely on the medium SUV from Audi, as well as the new A4 and A5, providing a technical foundation of quality fully developed, and therefore "cheap".

Obviously no one tells us that Porsche can not create something similar in the future, after the Cayenne and Panamera just around the corner, Porsche is a company that can not say that its brand and image remain sacred. In any case, the position most common among large companies is no action on rumors that may appear on their future products (to avoid pinch your fingers, more than anything else), so if Porsche has come to the fore to deny Roxster's existence, let's make good on his word.

Porsche Roxster - Have you gone mad?

Sure that accountants do not think that while rubbing his hands. Purists, meanwhile, may be looking for a piece of rope and a chair. And one can understand the two groups. The German edition of Auto Bild published this week that the new mid-size SUV from Audi, the Q5, relinquished his skeleton so that engineers can create a Stuttgart brother to the Cayenne, this rentabilisimo "insult on wheels" that has so many new customers found in the house. Name? Well, if we are not taking the hair, we should start referring to him as Roxster. Hard to swallow, we know, but it appears that Porsche has already registered.

Little else can we count on this new model, although apparently it will make good use of the drawer components of VAG. Supposedly the Q5 drink of the new A4 and A5, but not too detached from the Touareg, which will remain an important technique debt. With the Q5, Porsche would have the perfect basis for the continued success of the Cayenne, a success which anyway is not written, and that is that many of the buyers want a Porsche Cayenne, but also something big. It remains to be seen whether people are sticking by the Roxster as the Cayenne, which in some streets of Europe and is most common, its price will be one of the decisive factors. If the news is true, of course.

Porsche changes its name next month

Not panic, which will be called Porsche for us, but in an effort to redefine itself as the next great German company, next June 26, "Dr. Ing. Hc F. Porsche AG" will be renamed as "Porsche Automobil Holding SE" .

The idea behind the name change looks better reflect the investments that Porsche done in other car manufacturers (read VW), where the company of Stuttgart, holds a stake of 30.9%. In this way, Porsche reborn as a holding company with two operations: Porsche and Volkswagen.

Under German law, Porsche is required to make a purchase offer for VW, which already has more than 30% of the shares. The offer is already on the table and waiting until May 29, but is not expected that shareholders of VW were imagine, as the amount offered by Porsche is well below the market value of the company.

Even with lower sales and production Porsche achieved major gains

We do not know if Porsche is very astute, extremely lucky or both, but the people responsible for administering the maker of Stuttgart seems to know for sure what they're doing. During the first half of the fiscal year ended January 31 last, production declined, sales fell, and still the profits increased from $ 222 million in the period 2005 to no less than $ 1,500 million in the newborn period past. Much of the results is attributed to Porsche owns 27.3% of Volkswagen, and in a year and a half the shares in the company jumped on the double, while themselves also rose in value by 50%. The only reason that sales of Porsche fell by 7% was the model changeover of the Cayenne SUV. For its part the 911 and Boxted grew by 15.7% and 19.6% respectively.

Now Porsche is confident that during 2007 will exceed 2760 billion dollars (before taxes) achieved in fiscal 2006, which would be a good figure even for a company 20 times bigger.

Porsche 924 fully upholstered (and say completely)

The website in which Hemmings found these pictures are in Russian, as you say, the language of madmen is universal, and apparently the creators of this soft Porsche 924 are truly well versed in the language.

Following a bit of style Ferrari marked by the wool that we saw in June but with a real car under his fluffy surface, 924 of the images has been upholstered inside and out to the point where it seems one of those armchairs as past in the early 80's. Nothing escapes the bad taste of his / s creator / s, and both the steering wheel as the gear have also been covered with fabric from abroad.

Porsche is developing a system of night vision?

German Car Scene was the fact that Porsche is developing a night vision system similar to that of Mercedes-Benz S Class The device should make his debut along with the refreshment of 997, which will come sometime in 2007.

The photo above was the trigger for speculation. The circles indicate what should be the infrared projector located inside the front pockets. These rays should allow a camera mounted on the windshield to capture information, and this in turn would present the improved image on a screen.

Anyway, everything is simple and pure speculation. Must await the emergence of new data and assume that boys and girls from Stuttgart want to install such a device in the middle of the board.

The new Porsche models for the next four years

Motor Trend has created a list for future cars that will come out of Stuttgart over the next few years, and although most of them have already been presented (the Targa and the GT3 RS) or are in the public domain (the GT2, the Panamera, and the 928), the article contains some interesting smaller developments.

Naturally, the first to occupy our time is the next 911, whose engine seems to be giving some work to engineers from Porsche. Apparently its configuration of 6-cylinder boxer is not the best suited to a bloc of more than 4 liters, so that Porsche might have opted for the use of lightweight materials such as aluminum to increase benefits. In addition, a change will allow you to scratch those DSG tenths ultracompetitivo so important in the segment in which you have to battle.

The second model will be a long-rumored SUV of "small" size, based on the Audi Q5. The new todocamino will have more verve that his brother manufactured by the brand of the four rings and hit the market with a body of three doors, very similar to the 911. The comparisons with the legendary 959 that swept into the Paris-Dakar will be inevitable, so Porsche will have to dial distances.

Other models worthy of mention are the Cayman RS and the Carrera GT. The first version will simply be a leaner and more with the same power, to avoid cannibalization of sales (and image) of 911. As for the GT, all that is known is that there still remains on the drawing board and hardly come before the end of this decade.
