Porsche An Unmatched Sports Car
The first thing that comes to mind when you say Porsche is style. The racing power and handling prowess of a Porsche is unmatched in the sports car segment. This highly successful sports car company was founded by Ferdinand Porsche and his brother-in-law. The logo is based on the coat of arms of the Free People's State of Wurttemberg of erstwhile Wiemar Germany, which had Stuttgart as its capital. Porsche is a part of the Volkswagen Group. The highly efficient, state-of- the-art engine in a used Porsche car makes a considerable contribution to the comparatively low fuel consumption, but their sound emanating from the engine is still unmistakably Porsche. If this is not sporty enough for you, there is the sport button. Once the sport button is pressed the engine becomes tuned for a sharper response and engine dynamics that are even more direct. Porsche has downsized engine capacity and increased maximum torque resulting in an increase in the power output in an environmentally acceptable and sustainable way.
Fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions have been reduced manifold. Since weight is critical to efficiency Porsche engines have a light-alloy construction. The result is comparatively low fuel consumption and a long service life. This means you can be free of tension when you buy a Porsche from a used Porsche dealer. Porsche's electric parking brake releases automatically as you pull away. You can pull away without ever rolling back thanks to Porsche's hill-hold function. The system automatically detects when the vehicle has come to a halt on an uphill motion requiring intervention. The materials used for the interiors are of high-quality with a sporty character. The steering wheel rim, door pulls and armrests are made of leather. There is choice of colors for the interiors, so that the cabin of your Porsche is of the color you love. Porsche Communication Management is fitted as a standard in most models. Powerful, multi-functional and easy to use, PCM is your control center for audio, navigation and communication functions. The main feature is the intuitive 7-inch high-resolution color touch screen. Radio functions include up to 42 memory presets and an FM twin tuner frequency. In combination with the PCM system, the BOSE surround sound system enables audio playback of DVDs. The BOSE noise compensation technology uses a microphone to continuously measure the ambient noise inside the vehicle and adapts music playback instantly. Though initially Porsche concentrated only on sports cars, it has now also ventured deep into the SUV and sedan segment. Porsche is arguably the most successful car in motor sport, with over 28,000 victories.
40,000. The new SUV forms part of Fisker鈥檚 three-pronged offensive on the all-electric market, with two more affordable EVs planned for the near future. Fisker鈥檚 new SUV will be driven by two electric motors (one for the front axle and one for the rear), fed by an 80kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Details on the SUV鈥檚 design are sparse, with further information expected to appear at the end of the year alongside a driveable prototype. For now, confirmed features include a grille-mounted radar, optional 22-inch wheels and the vaguely-named 鈥榚xtended open-air atmosphere,鈥?which could be either a panoramic glass roof or a retractable soft-top. Before its new SUV goes on sale in 2021, Fisker will release the EMotion. The EMotion will be the first Fisker to be powered by the firm鈥檚 patented solid-state battery technology, which promises increased energy density, a range of 500 miles and charge times of only 60 seconds. It will act as a rival to the Tesla Model S, with a claimed power figure of 769bhp and a 0-60mph time of around three seconds. With its new SUV and saloon, as well as a third yet-to-be-confirmed model, Fisker aims to be one of the first manufacturers to deliver a range of affordable, desirable all-electric vehicles.
Porsche have today revealed two new models for its Porsche 718 range. The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 and the Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder both shun the four-cylinder engine we have grown used to in favor of a brand new 4.0 liter flat six. Availability will be limited (we assume) and demand will be sky high. Sitting at the center of the package is a bored and adapted version of the 3.0 liter straight-six fitted to the Porsche 991 Carrera. Slightly larger than the version found in the previous generation GT4, it is more powerful. The power is not the only noteworthy statistic for the engine. It is also optimized for fuel efficiency, scoring a 10.9l/100 km rating under the NEDC. It gets adaptive cylinder control which closes off two cylinder banks to preserve fuel together with a gasoline particulate filter emission control system. Emissions are 249 g/km. Piezo injectors are used for the first time together with a variable intake system. The GT4鈥檚 aerodynamics are also of interest. It features a net gain of 50% over the outgoing model whilst also offering reduced drag.
It achieves the gains through a more compact rear silencer which in turn allows the redesigned diffuser to channel air more efficiently. The rear wing has also contributed by increasing its efficiency by as much as 20%. Being topless, the 718 Spyder is less aerodynamic. Porsche have also fitted a rear diffuser for the first time. The Boxster gets a fabric convertible top. Both cars feature the same chassis technology. Spring and strut front and rear axles combine with Porsche Active Suspension Management to provide the damping. Both cars sit 30 mm lower than the standard models. Porsche Stability Management has also been tweaked and works in conjunction with toque vectoring and a mechanical rear differential. A Clubsport package is also optional on the GT4. It combines a rear steel roll bar, hand-held fire extinguisher and six-point seatbelt suited to the race track. 100,450 for the Cayman GT4. Both cars are available to order immediately.
