Along with the introduction of the new 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S, Porsche has released a series of videos (four to be exact) that showcase what they are calling the Athleticism (performance capabilities), Personality (exterior and interior features), Responsibility (safety equipment) and History of the Turbo S model. We showed you the film on the 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S performance capabilities in yesterday’s post. Today, for your viewing pleasure is a brief but informative look at the history of the 911 Turbo S.
It was 1993 when the Porsche engineers first decided to give the 911 Turbo something more. The 911 Turbo S was launched on the market in a limited special edition of 86 units. The power of the 3.3-liter flat engine was increased to 381 hp. Even back then the developers’ focus was on efficiency. The vehicle was significantly reduce compared to the 911 Turbo.
The engineers’ drive to get something more out of the 911 Turbo was re-awoken in 1997. The drive to contrast the top model 911 Turbo with an even more powerful counterpart. The last air-cooled 911 Turbo thus became the 450 hp 911 Turbo S thanks to an optimized engine management system. The increased pwoer was also taken into consideration visually. Carbon elements in the interior and optimized aerodynamic vehicle parts outside fave the 911 Turbo S an unmistakable appearance.

The more I see of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder, the more I think this could be the next Porsche in my garage. The PCH has to be one of the best driving roads in the US and having just driven more than 1200 miles up, down and around the same places in a 2009 Boxster S it was good to see these roads again. Don’t forget to watch the video through to the end to see how the top functions. Enjoy!!!

I love the fact that Porsche is fully embracing the web and utilizing a multitude of social media sites to reach out to Porsche fans, enthusiast and prospective buyers. I’m even happier that Porsche’s first video of the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder is free of the usual voice over and instead is set to music with a bit of exhaust note thrown in for good measure.
Yesterday’s announcement gave limited details on the new 2011 Boxster Spyder. Today, Porsche revealed their new micro-site with in-depth information, additional pictures and a pretty cool interface. Check it out for yourself.

After watching the behind the scenes footage from the making of the Porsche Panamera commercial, and the full length TV version of the “Bloodlines” commercial for the Porsche Cayenne GTS, I got a little curious about the man behind these mini movies; Jeff Zwart. As I delved deeper into my research on Jeff (more on this to follow in a later post) I stumbled upon the video below. While not quite as refined as the multi-million dollar Porsche commercial productions, the video does provide a great comparison and compilation of Porsches, ranging from the 356 to today’s GT2, racing to the summit of Pike’s Peak with Jeff at the wheel.
Contrary to the recent rumors of its impending demise, given the popularity of the Porsche Cayenne, it’s most likely here to stay!

Porsche just revealed the updated 997 GT3 RS at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The night before the unveiling, Andreas Preuninger, Manager of High Performance Cars for Porsche, gave us* the opportunity ride shotgun as he took the first produced 2010 Porsche GT3 RS out for a ride on the Autobahn. Due to traffic, he was only able to get the car up to 292kph on the unrestricted A5 Autobahn.
The second half of the video, Andreas tells us what went into the development process for the new GT3 RS and what the car is capable of doing with the new technology and performance upgrades from the previous generation. Enjoy!
