Porsche recently offered us a day with their sportiest SUV, and we took it. It’s a lemon-green 2013 Cayenne GTS, slotting in between the Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo. According to the specs, it’s not quite as fast as a Turbo, but apparently it’s quicker around the corners.
Porsche recently revealed the new 911 Turbo and Turbo S models, which are set to make its world debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Porsche has officially unveiled the 911 GT3 at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The GT3 is essentially the hardcore track-day version of the increasingly-luxurious 911.
Here’s the latest automotive news in brief from the Middle East and around the world.
The Porsche World Roadshow is an event held around the world almost every year by the German carmaker’s dealers, to showcase their latest models to potential customers in the comfort of, well, a racetrack. We’ve attended the UAE event in years past, but for whatever reason, we did not get an invite from Porsche this year. But then an invitation came in from the most unlikely of places — Emirates NBD Bank!
At the recently-concluded 2013 Qatar Motor Show, Porsche did three regional premieres, for the Cayenne Turbo S, new generation Cayman and 911 Carrera 4, and they showed off one of the first Panamera Platinum Edition models that arrived in the GCC market.
Gone are the days when you got what you paid for. Four luxury carmakers — BMW, Jaguar, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz — have issued recalls on various models, some more serious than others.
The new Porsche Cayman made its debut at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. Lower and longer than the previous generation, under the hood are no surprises as the Cayman shares the same engines as the Porsche Boxter.
So if you thought that the crazy automobile recall saga had ended, you were wrong. Since our last post on the recalls earlier this year, there were an insane amount of recalls that followed, from almost every car manufacturer in the world you can ever think of, almost all of them being issued following instructions from the U.S.-based NHTSA agency. And we could not bother to post each recall issue as a separate story, the task being as equally tedious as the reader-response to these. Here are all the recalls that could potentially be relevant to our region since April 2012.
