11/21/20188:00 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Chris Cushing1 Comment

Porsche was not the first company to offer disc brakes. That honor goes to Austin Healey all the way back in 1954.

8/2/20189:56 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Bradley BrownellComment

Porsche first announced this new self-parking technology earlier this year, and it will begin to roll out across Europe in the next few months with further market availability after.

GPS-Based Anti-Theft Protection Is Coming For Porsche Classic Vehicles

11/7/20177:17 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Chris CushingComment

How many classic Porsches have you seen with a seemingly extraneous lock cylinder aft of the driver's door? It's a common sight on 944s and 924s, and occasionally crops up on other models.

Porsche Adds A New Acronym: NVA. Here’s What Night Vision Assist Does

10/16/20173:14 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Pepper Girl2 Comments

As headlight technology has advanced, so has our ability to see greater distances ahead into the dark of night. However, even the best LED lights, like Porsche's matrix headlights found on the new Panamera, illuminate the night only so far (200 meters in this case). But at highway speeds, and above, 200 meters is traveled in mere seconds …

8/21/20171:13 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Pepper Girl6 Comments

When you buy a new Porsche it's pretty easy to quickly add on additional expenses in options, lots of them. Should you get the bigger wheels? Do you need leather wrapped air condition vents?

By now, most of you know all about Porsche's PDK transmission. Hopefully, you've even had a chance to try it at some point. If you haven't, I would encourage …

Porsche Patent Shows Active Rear Diffuser Invention

5/1/201710:51 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Pepper GirlComment

Active aerodynamics are nothing new to Porsche. They started testing such technology at least as early as the 906 program and really moved things forward with the 908 (cars like the 908LH Flunder were a study in active aero). Fast forward to today and almost every Porsche sports car or sedan you can think of has some type of "active aero". …

The Evolution of Porsche Disk Brakes

11/11/201610:16 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Pepper GirlComment

There are a number of qualities and features that instantly identify a Porsche to those in the know. That solid thunk you get when you close the driver's side door, the evolutionary yet still iconic design of a 911s rear-end and the ability to reverse the spin of the earth when you step hard enough on the brakes. It's a feeling that never fades …

Back in August, during Car Week on the Monterey Peninunsula we gave you one of the first looks at Porsche's new PCM system in the 2017 Panamera.
