| 2010 Porsche Panamera Goes for a Ride in the Arctic Circle |
 |

As it edges closer to production next year,
the 2010 Porsche Panamera is starting to
stray farther from home. This time our spy
photographers caught up with the Panamera
while it was undergoing cold-weather testing
in the Arctic Circle.
Like most of the prototypes we've seen
before, this Panamera had camouflage over the
front and rear ends to conceal the final
design details. In this case, however, the
huge ducktail spoiler was absent, a change
that gives a much better look at the unique
rear window.
It appears as though the Panamera sedan will
actually look something like a four-door
hatchback. Cut lines clearly show a rear
window that starts at the top of the C-pillar
and extends all the way down to just above
the license plate. It's an odd design cue to
say the least, but it should keep the
Panamera from getting lumped in with the rest
of Germany's luxury sedans.
Other notable design elements include a side
window that extends rearward all the way to
the middle of the rear wheel and taillights
that wrap around to the side of the rear
quarter panel. Up front, it appears as though
there might be a set of quarter-panel vents
just after the front wheels along with the
usual air intakes in the airdam to feed the
V8 engine under the hood.
We still expect the Panamera will use the
4.8-liter V8 variants found in the current
Cayenne SUV. With roughly 400 horsepower for
the base model and 500 hp for the Turbo, the
Panamera should have little trouble keeping
up with its German competition. And like BMW
and Mercedes-Benz, Porsche has also announced
its intention to add a hybrid sedan to its
lineup. The Porsche Panamera Hybrid will use
the same system slated for the Cayenne Hybrid
and is expected to arrive in late 2010.
Production of the standard Panamera is slated
to begin next year, so expect to see the
official introduction either late this year
or in early 2009.

| Porsche 911 tries to escape the police |
 |
A 42-year old man from Purmerend, the
Netherlands is caught after a bizarre chase.
The man driving a Porsche 911 GT3 drove at
speeds exceeding 200 km/h (125 mph) on the
A7. The police gave him the stop sign from an
undercover surveillance car. The Porsche,
ignoring this, took a last second exit and
went off. While entering the high way again,
the driver lost control in the corner of the
entranceway hitting the safety rails. While
losing several parts from his car he tried to
escape again. While being chased he took the
road verge desperate to escape. He enters a
parking space next to the high way and steps
over to a Volkswagen Golf, driven by his
33-year old girlfriend. A 29-year old man
which was the passenger at the Porsche took
over the wheel from the Porsche and tries to
get away. As seen in the video, while this
was happening the police is taking a safe
distance, observing until backup has arrived.
The Golf drives away like nothing happened
but the police knew he was in that car. They
create a road block to hold up the traffic so
they can arrest the former Porsche driver,
the passenger now driving the Porsche also
gets arrested.
In the Golf happens to be a baby and in the
baby-seat they discovered a firearm. In the
clothing of the baby hard drugs were found.
Both man are still in custody.

| Potent Porsche: 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 Spy Video |
 |
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/GeneralF
uture/articleId=126540
We're only a few months away from the
official launch of the 2009 Porsche 911, but
recent spy video from the Nürburgring
suggests that a refreshed version of the 911
GT3 will follow for the 2010 model year.
Like the forthcoming 911 Carrera, the 2010
Porsche 911 GT3 gets only minor styling
changes this time around. The reworked front
end has been simplified with only three air
inlets instead of five, while the front
marker lights have been narrowed slightly.
Tape over the taillights indicates a few
minor changes to their design along with the
switch to full LED illumination. It's hard to
tell if the spoiler is full production spec,
but it's certainly high enough to carry the
GT3 tradition.
Like the Carrera, the 2010 GT3's flat-6
engine will benefit from the addition of
direct fuel injection. The new technology
will deliver an extra 20 horsepower in the
standard Carrera, so expect a similar bump to
the GT3's current 415-hp rating. Displacement
is expected to remain at 3.6 liters.
Although it's clear from the sound of the
gearchanges that this GT3 prototype has a
manual transmission, the introduction of the
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch
transmission in the standard 911 opens the
door for inclusion in the GT3 as well. The
new PDK transmission is essentially Porsche's
version of Volkswagen's DSG, but whether it's
up to handling the GT3's additional power
remains to be seen.
With deliveries of the 911 Carrera and
Carrera S models scheduled to start this
fall, sales of the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3
probably won't begin until late next spring
at the earliest.
