As part of a promotional campaign supporting the 2013 Porsche Factory drivers, the accompanying description of the video goes on to say …

We all know our Porsches can "fly" it's just that most of us usually don't mean it literally. According to a story in "The Californian", witnesses saw a 2012 Porsche Cayman speeding down the runway of the French Valley Airport at speeds over 100 mph. Instead of stopping as the runway came to an end, the driver continued on, launching off a dirt embankment and flew over a tall metal fence before …

Anyone that's been reading our site for a while knows we're a bit of R/C fanatics. We have a ton of R/C cars, trucks and boats - including more R/C Porsches than you can shake a stick at. So while the video below may not be 100% Porsche related, there is a Porsche featured and that's good enough for us.
I particularly like how the Porsche keeps outrunning the GTR and obviously escaped …

Seattle police are looking for the man below who is said to have robbed a bank this past Tuesday and then fled in a black, two-door Porsche 944 (a black Turbo no less). Yes, he wore a hood, sunglasses and a hood, but he fled in a Porsche 944. Sure, there are chances the Porsche was stolen, but if it wasn't, the 944 community is a tight knit group and he most likely won't get far.
The suspect …

Earlier this month we told you about Seinfeld's new show, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. That post came complete with a promo video showing what to expect. Recently, Seinfeld updated the site with an even longer promo (that's it below). From what I can see it seems a bit short on cars, but the comedians look like it will be worth watching. Don't forget it's on Thursday July 19th at 9:00 PM …

Mr. Guo bought his Cayenne Turbo in July of 2011 for $2.7 million yuan (if Google's math is correct, and I'm sure it is, that's $423,000 bucks!) from a dealer in Taiyuan China. About a year after Guo purchased the Cayenne he claims the brakes failed while parking in an underground garage. As a result, the Porsche hit a wall causing damage to the front end of the car and seriously injuring a …
