2010 Porsche Cayenne S speedHYBRID 450 by speedART
Posted by: | CommentsspeedART speedHYBRID 450
The latest innovation of the Porsche Tuner speedART from Rutesheim near Stuttgart is called speedHYBRID 450 which is based on the new Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid. Please find attached an overview on the Tuning activities done by speedART:
Performance:
speedART offers for the V6 compressor engine a power enhancement with additional 70 HP, so that the system effort (petrol engine with electric motor) rises up to 450 HP and 570 NM. Regarding the performance, the effort of the speedHYBRID 450 is much better than the one of the Cayenne S. The speed-up decreases from 6.5 Sec. down to 6.0 Sec. and the maximum speed rises up to 252 Km/h. This means a plus of 10 Km/h compared to the original Cayenne S Hybrid and a plus of 22 Km/h compared to the usual V6.
The electric mode stays unaffected by the power enhancement. The speedHYBRID can be driven in the Zero-Emission-Mode as economical and as efficient as the original Cayenne Hybrid. Of course the function of the Sport- and the E-Power-Button stays the same, only that, when needed 70 hp more power for a sporty drive are available.
Sound:
speedART offers for the Hybrid a sport exhaust with sound switch and 2×100 mm tail pipes. This highlights the sportive sound of the V6-compressor and the power enhancement gets also acoustically underlined. The sport exhaust system with sound switch can be ordered for all Cayenne models with petrol engine. A sport exhaust system for the Diesel is also availiable.
Wheels:
In combination with the sporty driving performance 22“wheels, type LSC-FORGED will be mounted. This forged and weight optimized modular 3-piece wheel set is available for the front axle with 9,5×22“ and 275/30 ZR22“ tyres and for the rear axle with 11×22“ and 315/30 ZR22“. The painting of the centre star can be individually chosen by the customer. Due to the special forging technology the weight of the LSC-wheels is on the same level as the weight of a cast 21“ wheel, so that there is no higher consumption caused by the bigger wheels.
Aerodynamic:
The innovative speedHYBRID?-concept is underlined by the sporty blue foliation, which causes together with the white base colour a sporty, modern and environment friendly image.
Two different body kits for the new Cayenne models are in preparation and will be presented contemporary, so that individual customer choices can be satisfied.
Suspension:
For cars with air-ride system an electronic lowering kit module will be offered and for cars with conventional suspension lowering springs can be ordered.
Interieur:
For the compressor motor a special turbo pressure gauge will be mounted on the car dashboard, so that turbo pressure can be observed all the time. Of course this is used in combination with a blue instrumental dial, which replaces also the grey instrumental dial of the centre rev counter from the original tachometer.
2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo by Sportec
Posted by: | CommentsAPS of Brackley, UK importer for the Swiss Sportec range of exclusive vehicle enhancements, is pleased to announce the launch of a two stage performance enhancement program for the 4.8-litre, bi-turbo, four wheel drive Porsche Panamera.
From the factory, the four door Panamera produces a quoted 493 bhp / 516 lb.ft, but through careful development and testing using Sportec’s state of the art dyno test cell in Hori, Switzerland, Sportec’s engineers have developed a pair of upgrade packages for owners seeking additional performance.
Sportec Porsche Panamera Turbo Stage One
Sportec’s Stage One conversion for the Porsche Panamera uses a bespoke Sportec ECU remap, with optimised settings for fuelling, ignition and turbo boost parameters. The results are a Panamera with a dyno proven 560 bhp @ 6150 rpm, representing a healthy power hike of 67 bhp, allied to 790 Nm (576 lb.ft) of torque at 3340 rpm, an increase of 60 lb.ft over the standard car.
On the road these performance gains endows the four door, 1970 kilogram car with far greater real world pace. In gear acceleration and mid-range urge are transformed and in private testing the Sportec Stage One upgraded Porsche Panamera has recorded a 0-100 kmh (62 mph) time of 3.9 seconds, 0.3 seconds than standard. In the interests of safety top speed is limited to 315 kmh (190 mph.)
Priced at £2900.00 fitted including VAT @ 17.5%, the Sportec Stage One upgrade for the Porsche Panamera Turbo is on sale now from sole UK concession APS of Brackley.
Sportec Porsche Panamera Stage Two
Sportec’s Stage Two conversion for the Panamera turbo features the addition of a cat back stainless steel sports exhaust system, which features quad 90mm diameter Sportec engraved tail pipes, for a subtle, understated look. It also features a pair of ‘sound throttles,’ which enable the owner to define and switch the exhaust note of the car in real time, using a supplied remote controller.
In combination with the revised Sportec ECU remap, the Stage Two converted Panamera delivers 575 bhp @ 5800 rpm, an improvement of 83 bhp over the factory figures, matched to 820 Nm (598 lb.ft) between 3000-4250 rpm – an impressive gain of 83 lb.ft.
This endows the Sportec Panamera with near supercar levels of speed, delivering an effortless surge of exhilarating performance from the twin turbocharged 4.8-litre V8 engine, making both overtaking and fast cruising an effortless experience. Testing has revealed that Stage Two Sportec Panamera Turbo clocks a 0-100 kmh (62mph) time of 3.8 seconds, with the same limited top speed of (315 kmh) 190 mph.
Priced at £7990.00 fitted including VAT @ 17.5%, the Sportec Stage Two upgrade for the Porsche Panamera Turbo is on sale now from sole UK concession APS of Brackley.

2011 Porsche Cayenne Diesel 276hp by LUMMA Design
Posted by: | CommentsLUMMA Design proves that style and functionality do not have to be mutually exclusive. With its comprehensive range of accessories for the Porsche Cayenne, the car customiser from Winterlingen in Germany not only enhances the appearance of the Zuffenhausen-made SUV but also equips it for everyday use.
The D-Box for the Cayenne Diesel brings both reason and driving pleasure to the table in equal measure. This plug-and-play solution increases the diesel engine’s performance from 240 to an impressive 276 hp (203 kW) and raises the vehicle’s maximum torque from 550 to 630 Newton metres. This increased torque allows noticeable savings in fuel consumption to be made because it is precisely at low engine speeds that greater efficiency can be achieved. If required, the D-Box can be completely retrofitted.
In order to also enhance the engine bay’s aesthetic qualities, LUMMA Design offers an optics engine package consisting of red-coated covers and a crest logo made of metal, with the top-quality materials emphasising the increased power of the diesel engine. In addition, thanks to its headlight covers, the big Porsche now looks determinedly ahead.
The new light alloy wheels from the Winterlingen-based customiser appear similarly sporty – whether it’s the Mono 10×22-inch sports wheels with silver surface or the two-tone Mono 11×23-inch wheels with powerfully moulded spokes. Not only does the complete wheel set look really racy, it also ensures excellent road holding.
The twin exhaust pipe deflectors made from burnished and chrome-plated stainless steel give the Cayenne Diesel an individual touch while the two 90 millimetre pipes give the vehicle an especially sporty finish.
With that bit of extra agility, the SUV’s refined interior awaits the driver. Even as you open the doors, the matt aluminium door sill panels featuring the machined LUMMA logo showcase the classic character of the revised Cayenne.
The vehicle’s best example of the combination of style and functionality is the boot floor mat, with the LUMMA Design crest logo enhancing its appearance and the boot sill protector preventing unattractive scratches. For those who find all this to be a bit too much in the way of functionality, some of the Cayenne models come with the boot floor mat minus the foldable boot sill protector. Recesses for the lashing eyes are provided too, even for the version with the real leather edging.
The set of four LUMMA car floor mats for the interior are also edged with genuine animal skin. The mats’ black finish incorporating the crest logo helps keep the vehicle clean and gives the interior a personal touch. Alternatively, the mats are available with a nubuck edging.
The pedal covers from LUMMA Design manage to combine style with safety. While the machined aluminium highlights the pedals’ sporty nature, the built-in rubber nubs ensure that the driver’s feet don’t slip off the pedals. The foot rests made from the same combination of materials serve this purpose, too.
With its comprehensive range of accessories for the Porsche Cayenne, LUMMA Design allows car owners to add the perfect personal touch to their SUV and, in the process, manages to achieve a harmonious combination of functionality and style.
LUMMA Design will of course supply all these accessories with a TÜV certificate to enable the vehicle owner to easily include the parts with the rest of the car’s documentation. The parts can be fitted at any specialised service centre or at LUMMA Design’s headquarters in Winterlingen.

2010 Porsche 911 Turbo by Misha Design
Posted by: | CommentsMisha Design released their latest GTM aero kit for the Porsche 997 Turbo.
GTM Front Bumper
This bumper is part of our Exclusive Aerodynamic Package for the 997 Turbo. It is built to accentuate the factory lines of the Turbo and to allow it to achieve the look of the supercar that it really is.
The bumper is not only for looks. It is fully functional and includes new air ducts to channel extra air into the radiators to increase cooling of the powerful engine. It also includes a air vent at the top near the hood to release high pressure air from the front bumper to reduce drag and to increase down force. The lower lip is made of full carbon fiber and is designed to redirect air from going underneath the car to reduce drag and lift. This 3 piece lip is also very convenient in case of an accidental damage. The parts are very easily replaced, leaving the rest of your bumper in tact.
GTM Rear Bumper
This Rear Bumper is part of our Exclusive Aerodynamic Package for the 997 Turbo. It is built to accentuate the factory lines of the Turbo and to allow it to achieve the look of the supercar that it really is.
This is a full rear bumper replacement. It not only transforms the look of the car, but is also made to help it perform better. The rear is accentuated with all new intercooler exits. It comes with 3 carbon fiber gills on each side that act as a venturi, helping to suck air through the intercoolers and out the back. It comes with all new ducting from the intercoolers to the new larger exit. It also includes full carbon fiber rear diffuser. Built to be lightweight, is serves to channel the airflow from underneath the car in a controlled manner to increase rear down force.
GTM Hood
This Hood is part of our Exclusive Aerodynamic Package for the 997 Turbo. It is built to accentuate the factory lines of the Turbo and to allow it to achieve the look of the supercar that it really is.
This is a very unique design found on many supercars. It has two grooves on either side to help channel the air over the hood uniformly. It also comes with 2 optional carbon fiber vanes that give the hood a more aggressive look. The hood can be made in either FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) or Full carbon fiber for weight savings. Removing weight from your hood lowers the center of gravity and improves acceleration.
Our hood has the same overall dimensions of the factory hood which means it can be purchased with or without our full kit.
GTM Side skirts.
These Side Skirts are part of our Exclusive Aerodynamic Package for the 997 Turbo. It is built to accentuate the factory lines of the Turbo and to allow it to achieve the look of the supercar that it really is.
The side skirts also serve an Aerodynamic purpose. They are designed to channel air flowing along the side of the car, to go around the wheel instead of flowing directly into it. They also increase the apparent width of the car and are available with or without an added carbon fiber extension. This Carbon fiber piece adds to the sporty and aggressive look of the package.
GTM Add On Blade
The Misha Design Aerodynamic package for the 997TT is a Spoiler blade that replaces the existing top blade of the factory spoiler. It installs exactly like the OEM blade and allows you to retain your factory lower and raise function. The spoiler is a perfect fitment and comes primed and ready for paint. All Misha 911 spoilers are built to the highest quality and standards and undergo stringent quality control before being sent to you.
This spoiler is the GTM Add On Blade. This design is similar to the 997 GT2 Factory Blade and is available in FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) as well as full and visible finished carbon fiber.
This spoiler fits all 997 and 997.2 911 Turbo including the convertible.
Porsche 918 Spyder Official In Production
Posted by: | CommentsIn its session today, the Supervisory Board of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, gave the green light for series development of the Porsche 918 Spyder. Reflecting the overwhelming response from the public and customers to the Concept Study, the Supervisory Board gave Porsche’s Board of Management the mission to develop a production model based on the car already presented. This concept version of an ultra-high-performance mid-engined sports car with plug-in hybrid technology made its debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and at Auto China in Bejing, hitting the headlines worldwide.

2011 Electric Porsche Boxster First Detail
Posted by: | Comments
Porsche Boxster
Electric drive will take on an increasingly important role in the further enhancement of Porsche Intelligent Performance. To combine greater efficiency with even lower fuel consumption and emissions, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is working consistently not only on the ongoing development of hybrid concepts already in regular production, but also on practical tests as part of the Stuttgart Model Region for Electromobility, using three research cars with all-electric
drive based on the Porsche Boxster.
In the test process, these three electric Boxsters are to provide an initial first important insight into new electric drive components and battery systems for all-electric vehicle drive. This field test intended to also provide further findings on the infrastructure required for electromobility, user behaviour and the demands made of future products, is to start in early 2011.
Michael Macht, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Porsche AG, sees this contribution made by Porsche as absolutely essential: “We will definitely be offering an electric sports car in future. But such a concept only makes sense if it offers product qualities typical of a Porsche.”
Porsche has been committed to electric mobility for a long time, thus helping to preserve the environment and save resources in our world: The spectacular concept study of the 918 Spyder high-performance mid-engined sports car with plug-in hybrid combines high-tech breakthroughs in engine technology and electromobility with a truly fascinating range of further qualities.
Emissions otherwise to be found only on a super-mini of just 70 g/km CO2 with three litres fuel consumption for 100 kilometres in the NEDC (equal to 94.1 mpg imp), come with the performance of a super sportscar developing well over 600 horsepower.
The hybrid system of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid has been developed especially for racing, with two 60 kW (82 hp) electric motors on the front axle boosting the 480 hp six-cylinder power unit fitted at the rear. Replacing conventional batteries there is an electrical flywheel power storage system re-charged whenever the driver applies the brakes and thus delivering energy to the electric motors. The 911 GT3 R Hybrid has already proven its racing qualities in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
Introducing the Cayenne S Hybrid, Porsche also offers the first production car in the range able to run under electric power alone. With maximum output of 380 hp, the Cayenne S Hybrid makes do in the NEDC cycle with just 8.2 ltr/100 km (equal to 34.5 mpg imp), and CO2 emissions reduced to a mere 193 g/km. This hybrid technology will also be featured in the future Panamera S Hybrid due to enter the market next year.

2011 Porsche Cayenne Pricing Announced UK
Posted by: | CommentsThe new generation Porsche Cayenne went on sale on May 29, and in the four weeks since over 16,000 orders have been received worldwide. Building on the proven qualities of the prior model, which has become the biggest selling Porsche in the company’s history, the new Cayenne features a driver-oriented chassis that has been designed to combine sports car handling on the road with the added versatility of being able to cover ground quickly and safely, regardless of the terrain.
Visitors to the Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 1- 4) experienced the outstanding agility of the Cayenne first-hand by enjoying high-speed passenger rides around a specially-designed dynamics course. The Moving Motor Show element of this year’s Festival allowed many more people to get close to the new Cayenne, and generated a significant level of enquiries.
In the UK, over 1,000 orders have already been placed across all model series – Diesel, Hybrid and petrol. Due to this demand customers can expect to wait on average four months between placing their order and taking delivery – a fact that will aid residual values.
Hybrid power captures the public imagination
The technically-sophisticated Cayenne S Hybrid combines the sporting performance of an eight-cylinder engine with the economy of a six-cylinder and is proving to be a popular new addition to the range, accounting for 15 per cent of orders.
At 193 g/km CO2, the Hybrid is not only the Cayenne with the lowest level of emissions, but also the cleanest Porsche throughout the Company’s entire portfolio. This qualifies the Hybrid for Band J vehicle excise duty and annual road tax of £235. Furthermore, the Cayenne S Hybrid returns fuel consumption of 34.4mpg Combined (8.2 litres/100km) reducing running costs further still.
As a consequence of its low emission technology, the Cayenne Hybrid has been confirmed as eligible for exemption from the London Congestion Charge. Customers who live or have reason to travel regularly to the London Congestion Charge zone are able to register their Cayenne Hybrid with the authorities and receive a two year permit for free transit through the area.*
Porsche Intelligent Performance
The new Porsche Cayenne offers an unrivalled choice of engines in the premium SUV market segment, with Diesel, petrol, turbocharged petrol and Hybrid available. Every Cayenne is a trend-setter in terms of performance and efficiency, courtesy of the principles of Porsche Intelligent Performance; more power on less fuel, greater efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. This philosophy is manifest in the introduction of a new Tiptronic S eight-speed automatic transmission featuring a wider spread of gear ratios, an Auto Start Stop function, optimised thermal management on the engine and transmission cooling system, on-board network recuperation, and intelligent lightweight construction.
