Porsche's fiscal year ends on July 31st 2008 and if a report from Der Spiegel is to be believed, then it's been a very, very good year. Unlike most other car manufacturers, Porsche is not losing money. In fact, for all intents and purposes, they might as well be printing it. You see, expected numbers are to show that Porsche's profits actually …

If you can't pronounce the name of Porsche's new double clutch, seven speed transmission technology, you're not alone.
