Mansory kids, the house of preparations of sporting prestige (usually too overcrowded), has reached an agreement with Rinspeed to gain control of the branch in preparation for Porsche vehicles that house the Swiss had so far. In this way it seems that Mansory wants to expand its range of models offered, and grow its customer base. For his part, Rinspeed can focus on its core business: development and manufacture of prototypes and consulting to outside firms. I get scared thinking about what can be done Mansory that with Porsche models, the truth is that after seeing what he did with the Mercedes SLR presented in Geneva may be preparing an eye for whatever comes.

RUF Porsche introduced its electric

The news of the Porsche electric signed by RUF were true, only that in the end it proved to be a 911 and not a Cayman as previously thought. Moved by a three-phase electric motor to deliver 210 hp and 650 Nm, the eRUF Model A can reach 100 km / h in less than seven seconds, and get a top speed of 225 km / h.

The energy required is stored in some iron phosphate batteries and lithium ion (550 kg, 317 volts and 480 amperes), comprised of 96 cells. Upload them to the top requires nothing less than 10 hours, and theoretically, with the assistance of its regenerative brakes can travel up to 320 km, while RUF warned that they could stay in 250 depending on the use of the accelerator.

Video: The Porsche 928 pickup three axes

Harry Thoma, owner and creator of this pickup sports, says in the video but had Ferraris and Lamborghinis in his private collection, always wanted to have something that anyone could buy. Motivated by this thought, it was decided to build the Porsche 928-amino. For what is seen during the two years it took to complete his project, none of their friends or relatives could make entering reason.

With another axis and 70 centimeters further to add to the model, Thoma had to change the engine of 5.4 L Porsche original by a 6.1 liter with 40 hp more, reaching a total of 390 horses. According to its owner, the car handles even better than the original two axes. As the German authorities did not know whether or not to approve the car to travel its roads, Porsche Thoma kindly helped get the authorization. Although not sure if it was a good idea.

USA: Porsche struggle to be a manufacturer of low volume and save millions

Due to the current regulations governing the United States in terms of fuel consumption (CAFE), Porsche had to pay $ 4.6 million in fines last year, something that could change if the Senate amends the country's definition of "manufacturer Low volume. " It is envisaged that a small manufacturer is one that produces fewer than 10,000 cars worldwide, but now it looks to give that status to those who are less than a 0.4% stake in the U.S. market (something like 64,000 units) . Porsche sold 34,227 units between cars and SUVs last year and according to the new regulations, could benefit from more relaxed standards that will save a lot of money. The same regulations would also open the door to the models of Jaguar and Land Rover.

Porsche is already lobbying to keep the change, but companies such as Mercedes-Benz does not like the idea and say that 64,000 vehicles is not really a small number. The question is whether Porsche can still benefit when becoming a master of Volkswagen.
