Are you ready to build the sports car of your dreams?

Press Release: On the occasion of the world premiere of the new 911, Dr. Ing. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is setting new standards on the Internet as well. The Porsche Car Configurator enables every customer to design their own personal Porsche, view it from all sides and against different backgrounds in full-screen mode and order the configuration directly from the Porsche dealer. Porsche is using a newly developed interactive 3D animation for the Porsche Car Configurator so that the customer can picture exactly what his/her new 911 will look like. This enables myriad equipment details of the customised 911, such as a wood, aluminium or leather finish, various sports seats or rims to be depicted in a realistic way.

Instead Bentley鈥檚 engineers have focused on the Bentayga鈥檚 complex electronic systems to manipulate how the SUV drives. All of the changes occur when you select Sport on the plethora of driving modes offered - there are eight in total. Here, the newcomer鈥檚 damping and active anti-roll bars are stiffened, while the exhaust volume is cranked up. The extra 30bhp is difficult to pick up on in the Speed given the torque-rich nature of the W12 engine. It serves up all of its power from little more than idle, at 1,500rpm, so the Bentayga accelerates with a relentless surge that belies its sheer size and 2.5 tonne kerbweight. The reins on the Speed鈥檚 traction control setting have also been relaxed, so by taking an aggressive approach with steering inputs and the throttle, you can encourage the bulbous back end into small slides. There aren鈥檛 many SUVs which so effectively package dynamic prowess and luxury together - the Porsche Cayenne Turbo comes close. Of course, it has its limits; carry too much speed into a corner and its the front axle that will lose grip first, ploughing into speed-sapping understeer. One extra on the extensive options list that will be worth splashing out on, if for whatever reason you intend taking your Bentayga Speed on track, are the carbon-ceramic brakes. They help shed speed as fast as the engine helps pile it on.
One-of-a-kind prototype mountain bike built by Weissach engineers and technicians. This bike was featured in the May 1991 edition of Christophorusmagazine and weighed less than 22 pounds (9.85 kilograms). Parts came from France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Japan, and the United States. The effort was said to be led by Dr. Ulrich Bez, who at the time managed Porsche's Vehicle Research and Development. This mountain bike with an aluminum frame and front suspension was commissioned by Porsche and produced by Votec in Germany from 1996-1998. The bikes sold in the United States were painted Guards Red. In Germany and the rest of Europe, white, gray, and black models were also sold. The 26-pound bike with 26-inch wheels bike featured Votec GSIII front shocks, hydraulic brakes, grip shifters, 3x8 Sachs Neos gearing, and a leather Selle Italia Expedia seat. Came in 17-inch and 20-inch sizes. This rugged mountain bike was the upgrade to the Bike S. The Bike FS also featured an aluminum frame but included both front and rear shocks. This raised its weight to 29 pounds. The Bike FS was shipped in blue.
The Bike FS's Sachs Plasma gearing became an upgrade to the Bike S in 1998. Leather Selle Italia Flite Transalp seat included. Came in 17-inch and 20-inch sizes. The Bike R was an out-and-out racing road bike offering outstanding cornering and straight-line stability. Another lightweight aluminum-frame bike from the late '90s, the Bike R also included the ultra-light Shimano Dura Ace gearing. The tires were special Porsche edition Continental Grand Prix 3000 tires with yellow tread to match the bike's accent colors. Only 11 of these special edition mountain bikes were produced. Ultra rare and only top of the line components were used, including a carbon-fiber frame and Votec GS4 full suspension. If you are a collector of rare Porsche memorabilia, this is the bike to own. Limited run of only a couple years in the early 2000s. Only sold in Germany. One German eBay seller reported only 250 produced.
