To see them so committed to districarsi between meandering Nordschleife and concentrated on their way, there is almost tenderness. One, ‘Aston Martin Rapide, “dry” as a marathon runner and mighty as a boxer, and the other, the Porsche Panamera, the more turned, almost in meat, sculptural silhouette anything but. To stay in sport could be a pesista.
Just rossocrociata a flag, symbol of neutrality and non-belligerence. Then, at least from an aesthetic point of view, seems a normal Porsche 911 GT2. Intemperanza a passionate Swiss? No, distinctive sign of Sportec SP750, a sort of “welcome” to arms.
They really decided to make the big step, or the hypnotic power of spoiler roll bar and dissolve as a cloud of steam? Motorauthority be on the safe side: this is the RS version. Certainty (almost) absolute, no doubt: the restyling of the Porsche Boxster and Cayman is an opportunity too for not achieving progress version incattivita.
The Panamera, the saloon second Porsche, will its official debut in just a few weeks. On the “fifth essence” of the trade Zuffenhausen were spending hundreds of words, especially as regards the style of some portions of the body. And the contradiction of terms that apparently invests this project house in Stuttgart was one of the themes of nodal speculation: sporty but luxurious; dynamic but comfortable; performance but ecological Porsche but probably diesel. Like ‘hated-loved Cayenne, the Panamera is certainly a big challenge for Porsche.
If there is a car that BMW have taken as the touchstone of planning the X6, that is certainly the Cayenne: not long ago was in fact issued in a document stolen network, without marketing purposes, which were compared directly X6 V8 4.4 biturbo with the most sporting of Cayenne, the GTS 4.8 and which evinceva as BMW had the best overall performance of a direct competitor.
The time for second thoughts and doubts “ethical” is now elapsed: Wendelin Wiedeking, CEO of Porsche, has officially confirmed the Cayenne Diesel. Unfortunately is not given any statement, which is necessary to understand how purists would have explained to the mark from entering range of enemy diesel.
As anticipated, it should be the six-cylinder 3.0 from Audi (240 horses and 550Nm of torque) the unit responsible for pushing the more than two tons of German SUV a conservative choice and, if you wish, even wise, since the savings Technical and Economic Committee due to a lack of designing a diesel will be reinvested” in motorization hybrid, much more profitable.
As a wait, here’s saltarne out another: during the end of their career opportunities are not lacking at all. Coinciding with the debut of the Cayman S Sports, Porsche disseminate images of Porsche Boxster S Design Edition 2, version discovery and “chromatically” opposite to the previous Design Edition.
Both models are driven by six-cylinder boxer from 3.4 liters engine capacity, compared with the usual enhanced versions S of eight horses (303). The Cayman clearly devoted to sportsmanship, earns a livery-style RS - however, will also be ordered white, red, black, yellow and silver - and a lot more wickedness, summarized by PASM, tailpipe and Sports dall’assetto lowered further 15 mm.
The boxer six-cylinder family M97, which currently equips GT3, Turbo and GT2, will finally disappear from the model of the family 911 to make room for the new A91, initialling of the draft propeller with direct injection that debuted on the restyling of sport in Stuttgart.
The three super car derived from the 997 will receive an upgrade to the end of the year, coinciding with the presentation of aesthetic changes, which will be minimal as it was for models more peaceful.
In addition to improving engine performance in terms of consumption and emissions, the new injection system giving the three most poor versions of 911 a significant handful of horses, valued more precisely between 15 and 20. This means that very soon we will see a 500-hp Turbo and GT2 550-hp.
