The popular line "With great power comes great responsibility" is applicable to superheroes and the line "with greater horse power comes intensive maintenance" is applies to all kinds of luxury sports car.

In every Porsche workshop you come across, there will always be a set of reminders that could prevent you from going through the painful and expensive process of brake repairs. Check the hydraulic reservoir and make sure that it is at a decent level with the fluid type at all times. This is in strict recommendation from the makers and masters of Porsche.

At all times, the brakes must always be kept clean. This can be done and checked every time the car gets washed.
According to a notable Porsche service center, keeping the brakes clean eliminates the presence of dusts and dirt on the pads. This, in turn, allows the brakes to perform optimally and should issues rise, it can easily be inspected as well. Under any circumstances, the brake friction surfaces should be free of any oil or lubricants. However, in the event that it gets exposed to such liquids, quickly apply or spray brake cleaner to immediately remove it. As far as brake problems are concerned, there is no such thing as quick and easy fixes as it goes by Porsche Repair Dubai -such issues require ample time to diagnose and fix.

The new Range Rover Evoque is one of the most important cars in the history of Jaguar Land Rover, replacing the smash-hit original version at a crucial time for the company鈥檚 bank balance. And while the official launch isn鈥檛 until the spring, Auto Express has been given an introduction to the new model on UK roads by Land Rover鈥檚 chief development driver, Mike Cross. The all-new Evoque lives up to that billing because while its chassis is, in theory, related to the D8 platform that underpinned the first-generation car, it has gone through major changes to allow for electrification. There are cues from the larger Velar, for sure - notably the ultra-slim headlights and flush door handles - but there鈥檚 much greater sophistication than before along the flanks. The complex side panels have been calmed down into a single, rising belt line and subtle, clean surfacing. You won鈥檛 mistake it for a Velar, but you won鈥檛 mistake it for an old Evoque, either.
The Evoque鈥檚 MHEV system uses a belt-integrated starter generator to cut the engine off completely below 11mph when the car is coming to a halt, and to help it get moving again from rest. It鈥檚 said to deliver between 20Nm and 30Nm of torque in most scenarios (although it can supply up to 100Nm), and as well as improving efficiency, saving up to 8g/km in CO2 emissions, it helps to reduce turbo lag. As we head into the hills near Welshpool, a couple of things are almost immediately evident. Firstly, there is a considerable step up in cabin quality, with our HSE鈥檚 Kvadrat wool-blend upholstery matched by acres of double-stitched, padded material across the dashboard and in the door liners. The twin-screen infotainment and car control system will be a quantum leap for Evoque owners, too, with a crisper resolution than before and quicker responses, not to mention added functionality and the likes of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The second thing that springs to mind is how quiet it is. When we suggest that even from the passenger seat, this already feels more like a true baby Range Rover than the old Evoque ever did, Cross smiles knowingly. 鈥淭hat was one of our real goals,鈥?he reveals. 鈥淚t鈥檚 getting harder and harder to drive quickly, and it鈥檚 becoming less and less socially acceptable anyway. So what we think customers wanted with this car was more luxury, more comfort, more connectivity. We worked as hard on wind-noise isolation as we did on powertrain refinement.鈥?That鈥檚 an oblique reference to the Audi Q5, which insiders suggest was the main benchmark, ahead of the BMW X3 and Porsche Macan. Cross explains our car has continuously variable dampers - an option across the range, unless you go for the largest 21-inch rims, at which point they become compulsory. But even so, there鈥檚 compliance over rippled and broken surfaces.
