New Porsche 911 Received Red Dot Design Award

The new Porsche 911 and the previous Porsche 911 look the different from many angles but, for many people they look exactly the same. I kind of agree with those people, new 911 looks exactly the same as before. 

Nothing really changed but it looks better, especially I like the new design of rear automatic rising spoiler.

When it is in stationary position, you never realise the spoiler, it looks seamless! Also, when it is raised, it is perfect matching with the exterior design. However many people may never realise this. Except some! 

Recently new Porsche 911 receives design award from Red Dot. 30-strong international jury of experts suggest that; new 911 has a “unique” design language that is sourced by the functional and emotional design factors. Moreover, new 911 combines the innovation and tradition, power and elegance.

Actually, I am really impressed with the Red Dot jury! For many people, new 911 looks the same! I really don’t like to say this and it is a bit harsh but this is the reality. Not only 911 looks the same; the new Bentley Continental, the new Audi A3 and many other new cars try not to scare their existing customers by offering something totally different. Reference to this incident; previous BMW 3 Series by Chris Bangle! It was a big shock for everyone.

Anyway, I still like the new 911 and I don’t mind whether it looks the same or not. In the end, that’s a Porsche 911.

Porsche Cayenne GTS

The most aggressive Porsche Cayenne is finally revealed, GTS! It is powered by the same V8 engine from Cayenne S with extra horse power, 420 PS. 8-speed auto gearbox is revised for the engine, body is lowered 24 mm for better handling. As a result of these, GTS turn into a big car instead of an SUV. I don’t think that, it would be a good idea to drive Cayenne GTS on off-road terrain. And I don’t think that, it would be pleasant journey thanks to its lowered body and huge low profile wheel.

However, it would be really fun to drive and probably a very good driver focused SUV.

0-100 kph (62 mph) in 5.7 seconds, top speed is 261 kph (163 mph) and consumes 10.7 lt/km

Porsche Cayenne GTS (2013)

CAR GARAGE | Porsche Cayenne GTS (2013) | Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is celebrating the world premiere of the new Porsche Cayenne GTS. Its concept: concentration on sporty performance. In the process, the new Cayenne GTS does not just fill the gap Between the Cayenne Turbo S and the Cayenne but also differentiates Itself  Clarey from the other models with its own special character.

The Porsche Cayenne GTS's bonnet conceals a 420 hp (309 kW) uprated V8 engine, based on the Cayenne S power unit. An especially dynamically tuned en-gine and transmission design reinforces the emphatically sporty characteristics, ena-bling short bursts of speed at any time. The specially tuned chassis ensures thrilling driving dynamics.

The prevailing ambiance of the interior is sporty elegance, the GTS features a leather interior with Alcantara elements as standard. Front sports seats with eight adjustment options are also featured as stan-dard in the new Cayenne GTS. The Porsche Cayenne GTS will come to market in July 2012 with a price tag of 90.774 euro in Germany Including value-added tax.

Porsche 918 Spyder (2014)

CAR GARAGE | Porsche 918 Spyder (2014) | The 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder should follow the Geneva concept in using a gasoline V8 engine, three electric motors, and a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack recharges by plugging That-in and while braking and coasting. One electric motor is housed within the transmission to assist with driving the rear wheels. The other two motors turn the front wheels, one per side, through a single-speed reduction gearbox. The Geneva concept carries a 495-horsepower version of the 3.4-liter V8 used in Porsche's current long-distance racing car, the highly Successful RS Spyder, but engineers hint That the 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder Might get a 4.6-liter engine with equal or more muscle, this According to Britain's CAR magazine.

Like the Toyota Prius and other "parallel" hybrids, the 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder can run on gasoline, electricity, or both, depending on driving demands. Unlike other hybrids, the 918 deploys its power sources via a four-mode electronic system with steering-wheel buttons labeled E, H, S, and R. E-pure-electric mode provides front-wheel driving for up to 16 miles. H furnishes gas / electric all-wheel drive for routine city / suburban driving. S, or "sport-hybrid," also harnesses both power sources and both axles, but AFT sends more power to Provide the handling response of a good rear or mid-engine sports car like Porsche's own Boxster. R is a "race-hybrid" That taps setting maximum available energy for competition driving.

Speaking of which, the production 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder Likely will retain the concept's "driving-range manager."  Compared with the familiar mid-engine Boxster, the 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder should be nearly 4 inches longer in wheelbase, five inches longer and Wider, and a whopping 8 inches lower. Likely Curb weight will be close to the concept's quoted 3.285 pounds. As with racing cars and spare-no-expense super cars, the 918 Concept makes extensive use of lightweight materials to keep weight in check. The production car will retain this basic construction Likely.

Not surprisingly, the 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder is expected to inherit the concept's racing-style 4-wheel independent suspension with control arms and push rod-operated spring and shock-absorber units. Ditto the show car's carbon-ceramic 4-wheel-disc brakes, the which weigh less than metal binders and better resist heat buildup That reduces the braking efficiency in repeated high-speed stops. Brake size will naturally depend on wheel size. The concept rolled on center-lock aluminum rims measuring 21 inches in front and 22 inches in back. Might Be The Same said for the concept's molded-plastic wheel covers with a complex design intended to That Is Reduced performance-sapping drag water.

Though the concept interior is also Likely to see some changes, we expect its major design features will carry over to the production 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder.  Seats, unsurprisingly, are Heavily bolstered buckets with multiple power adjustments. The driver faces a Porsche-traditional three-pod gauge cluster and a multifunction steering wheel with the aforementioned power-mode buttons and other controls. Porsche claims the concept can do 0-62 mph (0-100 km / h) in just 3.2 seconds (versus 3.9 for the Carrera GT), reach near 200 mph, and in very careful driving returns up to 78 mpg.  According to Automobile's Kacher, the permutations involve pure battery-electric power, conventional fossil-fuel engines, two-wheel and all-wheel drive, a coupe body style, and all-out racing versions. While it's unclear how many of these Might Be Offered, we'd put our money on a hybrid coupe, a rear-drive gas-powered roadster and coupe, and a hybrid coupe competition and / or roadster. Even more significant, the 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder's hybrid technology is bound to influence future versions of existing Porsche models, and Perhaps Sooner than Might one think.

World Car Awards

I am not into too much about World Car of the Year award however, this year I really appreciated the winner! Volkswagen UP. Most of the times, I am not paying very high attention to  this award and sometimes I really don’t agree with their decision. But, Volkswagen is a realy revolutionary car for urban transportation without scarifying ride comfort or ergonomy. I really like the UP and it would be a great solution to tiring and boring urban transportation.

They also awarded, Range Rover Evoque as the World Design Car of the Year, Porsche 911 as the World Performance Car of the Year and Mercedes-Benz S250 CDi as the World Green Car of the Year. I agree with Evoque, they created a new path for the urban SUV market and developed a new design language. 

Mercedes-Benz S250 CDi offers the smallest diesel engine (2,2-lt), the lowest consumption 5,7lt/km diesel and cleanest CO2 level 149g/km on its segment. 

However, I would not award the new Porsche 911. Because, its steering wheel replaced by an electric steering wheel that reduces the connection with the road and McLaren MP4-12C offers much better performance levels than the 911.

The new operating concept makes controlling the vehicle's central functions uncomplicated and intuitive. For example, the shorter installation length of the new roll-over protection system creates more legroom compared with the predecessor model. Vehicles with manual transmission also feature a display assistant shift-optimized for performance driving.

A critical contribution to the impressive performance enhancement of the new generation 911 is made by Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), available as an option for the 911 Carrera S.
