Vorsteiner V-RT Porsche 911 Turbo

Posted on 08.27.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

Today shall be the day remembered by all Porsche owners and enthusiasts because it is this day that Vorsteiner has released the new V-RT tuning package for the 911 Turbo.  Ok, maybe that was a bit dramatic but look at how FRESH that aero kit is!  Everything about this says “classy aggression”.  Some might question the fog light delete in the front air dam but to me it really smooths things out.  As usual with Vorsteiner programs there are a few dope wheel choices available including center lock options!  Check out the press release below for full details.

Hype Event: Targa Trophy

Posted on 06.30.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

I’m a little late on this but over the weekend the first round of the triple crown Targa Trophy road rally series started in LA.  A group of exotic cars met up at the W. Hotel in Hollywood before taking a trek all the way down to the W. Hotel in San Diego making stops at undisclosed destinations along the way.  It definitely sounds like an awesome way to spend a weekend with your car (especially if you’re lucky enough to own an exotic!).  Check out some of the pictures from the starting line in Hollywood below.

Porsche Design Flat Six Timepiece

Posted on 05.24.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

Lately I’ve been posting a lot of Ferrari chronographs so I want to change it up a bit and show you something from Porsche Design.  This timepiece is called the “Flat Six” (awesome name isn’t it?!) and its one of 4 watches in the Porsche Design timepiece line.  I am starting with this one because it is my favorite watch face design of the whole line.  I love the big numbers at the “quadrants” and the etched strap is FRESH!  Some tech specs on the Flat Six include automatic winder, a 48 hour power reserve, and an ergonomicially designed button for the chronograph functions.

2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (With Video)

Posted on 05.13.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

No, you haven’t suddenly become illiterate.  That is in fact a “2″ not a “3″ in front of that “GT” and behind that “RS”.  Could it mean a lighter, more powerful version of ’ ultimate twin-turbo beast?  Yes Virgina, there is a new supercar..  The 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS recently broke cover due to some cell-phone spy shots at a recent dealer conference so Porsche decided to fully yank the curtain off and debut the new turbo-beast.  So what do we get in the GT2 RS?  How about 90 extra horses and a diet of 154lbs.  Sprinkle in some carbon fiber, alcantara, a roll cage, a $245,000 MSRP, and you have the new subject of our automotive wet dreams.  Check out the video below for some footage of the new German superhero in action.

TECHART Engine Peformance Kit For 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo

Posted on 05.05.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

If for some ridiculous reason your 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo isn’t good enough for you as it is then first you should be ashamed of yourself, then click over to CEC to check out TECHART’s engine performance kits. Right now they have two stages available.  Stage one is an ECU tune and a high flow air filter.  Stage two is the same as the first but you also get a set of headers and a high-flow intake.  Expect to pick up an extra 60HP with stage one and 120HP with stage two which is pretty darn good!  Don’t be surprised to see a massive price tag though.

Hype Preview: Vorsteiner V-PT Package For Porsche Panamera Turbo

Posted on 04.05.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

I am not a fan of the Porsche Panamera.  I can appreciate its performance and the fact that Porsche decided to get out of their comfort zone but I just can not wrap my head around a Porsche…wagon.  Maybe I’m crazy or maybe Porsche is crazy who knows!?  Although I must admit when I caught wind that Vorsteiner is working on an aero package for the Panamera Turbo dubbed the “V-PT” I got excited.  I figure if anyone can change my mind about the Panamera’s looks it would be Vorsteiner.  As soon as we get a glimpse at the finished product we’ll let you guys in on it.

Euro Market Gets New Option Packages For Porsche Boxter & Caymen

Posted on 03.24.10 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

I’m not a huge fan of the Porsche Boxter but I can’t deny how sweet it looks with the new European option package!  Check out that blue with the yellow brake calipers! And you can’t ignore how they finished it off with the black wheels and lip kit. Sooo FRESH!  You can also get blacked out exhaust tips and vents on both Caymen and Boxter but with the Boxter you also have the option of a flat black roll bar.  Too bad that this is only hitting the Euro market.  But hey, maybe if you have a buddy at a U.S. Porsche dealership they’ll be able to special order some of the exterior bits for you.
