Oh my...

Now this is something out of the ordinary. California-based company Singer Vehicle Design have taken a classic Porsche 911 and turned it into a beast by fitting it with a modified 993-engine producing 425 hp and 461 nm torque and lots of carbon. The result? A racing orange retro 911 that weighs only 1088 kgs and will do 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds!

My mouth is watering...

More pictures of this hottie can be found here. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the price tag yet.

A work of art

This has got to be the most perfect car interior ever manufactured. A work of art, quite simply. Yes, it's the new Porsche Panamera, and never have i wanted a Porsche more. I just want to squeeze that sculptured steering wheel firmly, and caress the gearshift lever gently, and press some of those buttons every once in a while. I feel like a child again in a presence of such beauty. There are only two drawbacks: I'm not really comfortable with the rear of the car (but that may grow on me though), and fuel consumption is a killer (well, considering the performance it isn't really bad, but it's not really good either). Give me a plug-in hybrid Panamera, or preferably one that doesn't run on fossile fuel (hey, if Bentley and Koenigsegg can do it, so should Porsche!) and we're talking!

A Porsche for the future

Porsche tuner RUF have presented a concept car based on the 997. This is not your ordinary tuned Porshce though, but a battery powered, zero emission one! The 0-100 acceleration of 7 seconds is ok, the top-speed of 225 km/h is decent but not impressive, however the range of 250-300 kilometers is promising indeed.

Let's hope this is a glimpse of what the future holds for sports cars: Politically correct, environmentally friendly, yet fun and good looking.
