Presenting a New Naturally-Aspirated Icon: The Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992)

The wait is almost over for a new naturally-aspirated icon: the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992). Tik Tok gave us a glimpse of the blacked-out development Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) approaching a stoplight in Southern California. Among the standout features: the huge wing on the back. Road & Track noted that it’s even larger than the one on Porsche’s GTE PRO racers.  It retains the graceful swan-neck uprights of the GT3, “though it does appear to feature even more adjustability than before,” the magazine noted. From the look of it the 992 GT3 RS will feature the same 4.0-liter flat-six engine as the GT3 but with an expected increase in output. It should also be a few pounds lighter than the existing 911 GT3. But reduction won’t be huge: About the weight of an average house cat, one magazine reported. Also check out: One Thing We Know About the New Porsche 911 GT3 RS: It’s an Extreme Beast! According to media reports it’s expected to come exclusively with the 7-speed PDK gearbox. “That powertrain combined with an even more aggressive aero package should make for one seriously capable track car.

How fast does the Porsche Taycan charge

The Porsche Taycan is at the Top When it Comes to the Fastest Charging EVs

How fast does the Porsche Taycan charge? When it comes to fast charging, the Porsche Taycan is setting records. How fast does the Porsche Taycan charge? The Taycan can go from 5 to 80 percent of full charge in just 22 minutes on the fastest charge points. That means you won’t be enduring much of a wait - just enough time to visit the restroom or make a quick business call. In fact, did you know that the Taycan is a current “charging champion,” according to an article by Christies Real Estate comparing the charging times of various luxury cars? That means you can add more than 15 miles of range for every minute your Taycan is plugged into the charger. That super-quick charging capability makes the new Taycan Cross Turismo electric station wagon a favorite for families and weekend road trippers. How Fast does the Porsche Taycan charge? Starting at around $100,000 the Taycan Cross Turismo is powered by two electric motors with total outputs ranging between 469 and 750 horsepower, depending on the trim level you decide on. The Taycan also has its two-speed transmission on the rear axle – a first for an EV. The 2022 Taycan Cross Turismo can also park itself without someone behind the wheel via smartphone thanks to the new remote-parking feature. There’s also a new operating system in the infotainment setup as well as enhanced voice commands. And with Porsche's "Paint to Sample" program, customers can select personal colors, including those from your favorite '90s Porsche models. And, of course, that charging capability. Keep in mind that all-electric cars are not created equal. Some of the newer luxury models can take on significantly more power at one time than other cars – and the Taycan happens to be one of those. In fact, it’s currently the fastest. The Taycan Cross Turismo can accept 270 kilowatts of charging power — leading to super-quick refueling times at stations that provide sufficient power. It’s nice to only have to stop for 20 minutes when you are used to charging for, say, 45 minutes. And if you are trying to make it to a specific destination by a certain time it can make all the difference. Because it’s so fast to charge, the cost of recharging a Taycan can be relatively inexpensive. According to InsideEVs, charging to 80 percent will set you back by only $4.80. (Keep in mind that DC fast-charging stations aren’t available everywhere just yet). Other Taycan Cross Turismo features we love: It's a rugged and sporty all-electric utility vehicle overflowing with Porsche DNA. The Turismo embraces your lifestyle, with an enlarged rear luggage compartment and even more spacious interior. The cooling system ensures that the drive is optimally supplied with energy in any situation. Porsche's adaptive dampers and an air suspension are standard on all models and make the Taycan Cross Turismo ride 0.8 inch higher than the sedan. A Gravel drive mode increases ride height another 0.4 inch. The optional off-road design package provides the Cross Turismo with the extra ride height of Gravel and adds unique front and rear fascias, additional body cladding, and side skirts. A roof rack and a rear-mounted bike rack will also be available from Porsche. To find fast-charging stations for your Taycan visit Electrify America. View our latest inventory: Porsche for Sale

Porsche 911 GTS_0007_porsche-zoom5

One Thing We Know About the New Porsche 911 GT3 RS: It's an Extreme Beast!

The new version of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS appears to be even more extreme. As the 992 GT3 RS nears completion we've spied some photos that show a rather extreme wing. The new wing appears to use similar swan-neck mounts as the new GT3. However, the wing on the GT3 RS sits even higher off the bodywork – and has two sections. And the GT3 RS's wing is active, something we know thanks to previous photos of the vehicle’s testing on the Nürburgring. Those photos showed that the wing adjusts its angle under braking. Other extreme features on the Porsche GT3 RS revealed by the unofficial photos so far: Air exits on the hood and big vents on the front fenders. Cutaways on the front bumper and a similarly dramatic rear bumper with large air channels and a diffuser. Vertical fins on either side of the roof are located ahead of the rear glass. There are intakes on the rear fenders feeding the engine. According to Road and Track, there likely won’t be any big power increase over the 520 hp of the last GT3 RS. All of the additional speed will come from additional downforce from the new aero kit as well as the mechanical grip generated largely by the double-wishbone front suspension introduced on the new GT3, the publication noted. “The car should be quite light, too, thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber and other composite materials. Like all Porsche RS models since the 991 GT3 RS, this one will be PDK only. Porsche's reasoning is that an RS car is built for getting the fastest lap time, and that can only be achieved with a dual-clutch transmission,” according to Road & Track. This new 911 will use the existing GT3’s naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine and that it will likely have a small performance uptick to the earlier car’s 503 horsepower. The drive will go to the rear axle. We should get our first glimpse of the real thing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June. So far it’s been spotted at Germany’s Nürburgring in black. So far, the most striking features are those vertical wings on the rear bumper behind the rear wheels and on either side of the front wheels. This latest variant of the 911 is expected to be naturally aspirated with a seven-speed PDK paddle-shift transmission. There are even some rumors that it could end up with an increased capacity of 4.2 liters, though others in the media have cast doubt on that speculation. We’ll just have to wait and find out! Porsche has a long tradition of translating what it learns on the track into cars designed for the road. And the 2022 911 GT3 – the street-legal version of the GT3 RS - is a perfect example of this tradition. With its extensive lightweight materials, refined aerodynamics, and a motorsports-derived double-wishbone front axle layout, the new 911 GT3 aims to raise the bar once again in the already rarified world of Porsche. Kjell Gruner, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, Inc., has described 911 GT3 as having a “soul that’s born in the Motorsport.” Whether you’re enjoying a favorite twisty lakeside road or taking to the track, the new 911 GT3 promises to be among the most exciting and rewarding cars you’ve ever driven. At the heart of the new model: A naturally aspirated 4.0-liter, six-cylinder boxer engine that revs to 9,000 rpm. The GT3’s engine churns out up to 502 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque and offers you razor-sharp throttle response due in large part to its six independent throttle bodies. It’s everything you want and love in a Porsche! Check out our latest: Porsche for Sale

A Distinctive Horse with a Sweeping Tail: How the Porsche Crest Came into Being

The Porsche Crest is a well-known automotive icon. Not to be confused with the Porsche logo, the crest depicts a distinctive horse with a sweeping tail. The Porsche Crest symbolizes the roots of the Porsche company and simultaneously illustrates the quality and dynamics of its products - with the prancing horse taken from the seal of the city of Stuttgart depicted within the contours of a golden shield. The surrounding red and black state colors and the stylized antlers are taken from the traditional crest of Württemberg-Hohenzollern. more Finally, the Porsche logo forms a protective arch over the entire design. While the Porsche logo had already been used on the brand’s first vehicle in 1948, the Porsche Crest was not created until 1952. Why You Can’t Go Wrong with the Porsche Cayenne The Porsche crest itself has an unusual history. Let’s take a look! The crest was first suggested as a quality seal for the 356 at a meeting between company founder Ferry Porsche and US importer Max Hoffman back in 1952. The same year, advertising manager Herrmann Lapper and designer Xaver Reimspieß produced a preliminary design for the crest. And it's the same one that is still used to this day with just a few minor differences in detail. Reimspieß sketched a crest that symbolized the roots of the company as well as the dynamism and quality of its products. Interestingly, is also said to have designed the Volkswagen logo way back in 1936. The crest based on original drawings and created using special tools. As with the original, it is gold-plated and the color and enamel are painstakingly applied by hand. The crest is durable. The traditional Porsche Crest has had to undergo extensive quality testing that includes climate testing at the Porsche Research and Development Centre in Weissach as well as a stone impact simulation carried out at a ballistic firing range. This symbol, steeped in history, signals a continued long life for classic Porsche models. The story of the Porsche logo is equally interesting. In March 1951, Porsche launched a competition among German art academies, offering the DM 1,000 for the creation of a Porsche company logo. Unfortunately not a single design offered in the competition passed muster. But late in late 1951, Ferry Porsche visited New York City and was asked for a logo by the American importer Max Hoffman. Work on a logo was ramped up within the company and by early the next year, Reimspieß, a highly talented designer who had already designed the Volkswagen logo in 1936, created the fantasy crest. The Porsche Crest was registered with the German Patent Office and then first seen on the horn button at the end of 1952, before being incorporated into the characteristic bonnet handle of the Porsche 356 Speedster in November 1954. By 1959, it also appeared on the hubcaps of the Zuffenhausen sports cars and, since then, every Porsche vehicle has featured this seal of quality on its bonnet. The copyright-protected Porsche Crest has become one of the most famous trademarks in the world and may only be used commercially with the express permission of Porsche AG. The original Porsche Crest is even available from Porsche Classic for a wide range of historic models. Over the years, the Porsche Crest has undergone careful design changes. The crests available through Porsche Classic are differentiated as follows: • From 1954 for the Porsche 356 and from 1964 for the 911 also in another size. For design details, please see Page One. • From 1974, the Porsche logo shines in gold; Stuttgart is embossed on a recessed background and the color in the Porsche Crest radiates a red-transparent glow. • From 1994: the Porsche logo is characterized by slim Black letters. the word Stuttgart is recessed; the Porsche Crest is red-transparent and the horse is portrayed elegantly.

New Porsche Macan Launch Celebrated as Part of Women's History Month

New Porsche Macan Launch Celebrated as Part of Women's History Month

We decided to do something a little different to celebrate the recent launch of the new Porsche Macan. In lieu of throwing just another reception or party here at Porsche Palm Springs, our Porsche Pro & Brand Ambassador Sherman Chan hosted a very special launch event that coincided with International Women’s History Month. After all, the Macan is the No. 1 selling Porsche model in the world, and as such it stands out where others fade into the masses as young, dynamic, and modern - just like the growing number of women who are becoming Porsche owners in recent years. Here is Sherman, in her own words, describing this outstanding launch. more Tell us about this launch for the new Macan. For the new Macan launch at Porsche Palm Springs, we decided to celebrate International Women’s Month, which happens in March, and combine the two into a women-focused launch event with an incredible speaker, sit-down dinner and Macan unveil. It was a way for us to recognize, thank and celebrate the women who drive our community. Can you tell us more about the speaker and attendees? Our keynote speaker was Aurora Straus, a Harvard senior and professional race car driver. We invited local businesswomen, female Porsche owners and enthusiasts, and women who work at Porsche Palm Springs. Why was this event important within the context of Porsche and women in general? Porsche has a long-standing history of listening to women, recognizing the incredible influence we have in luxury cars and decision-making and our ever-growing spending power. The Macan was designed as a marriage of practicality and performance. The design elements echo the sporty 911 and the adventurous Cayenne. Naturally, our savvy guests were drawn to it. Among other things, Aurora shared the story of her upbringing, triumphs in racing, and obstacles along the way. She is a true inspiration and left everyone motivated that evening. We also had great reception and feedback from our attendees about how much they loved the new Macan and having such a great opportunity to connect with like-minded women in the Coachella Valley. Were there any other events that dovetailed with this launch or any planned? To wrap up Women’s History Month we celebrated Saturday with a rally drive up to the San Jacinto mountains and had lunch in Soboba. We invited Porsche owners and enthusiasts, and the ladies of PCA. Aurora Straus, our keynote speaker for the new Macan launch, was leading the pack up Highway 74 and through the scenic route to San Jacinto. When we sat down for lunch, we started sharing fun Porsche stories and got to know each other in a casual yet intimate setting. Aurora also gave a short speech at this event and opened a little Q&A session. We had a lot of fun with this drive and gathering the ladies of our Porsche Community. We would love to organize more events like this in the future! Perhaps a sunrise drive up another road. For now, you can join us for our scheduled Cars & Coffee on May 7th at Porsche Palm Springs. We will be celebrating the finale of Cars and Coffee for this season

Porsche Carbon-Neutral Fuel

Even Cleaner Than Electric? Porsche is Teaming Up to Create a Near Carbon-Neutral Fuel.

Cars with a lower overall carbon footprint than electric cars? That is the future Porsche is envisioning as it joins forces with Siemens Energy and other international companies to build an industrial plant for the production of an almost carbon-neutral fuel (eFuel). The ground-breaking ceremony for this pioneering project in Punta Arenas, Chile, took place last month – with Chile’s Energy Minister Juan Carlos Jobet present. The pilot plant is called Haru Oni (aka Highly Innovative Fuels plant). The plant will produce fuel that is nearly carbon-neutral and can be used with existing internal-combustion engines, according to Porsche. The fuel will be produced using electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. more Carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from the atmosphere will then be combined with the hydrogen to produce synthetic methanol, which will be converted into fuel or "eFuel" as Porsche has named it. Making this project even more green, electricity needed for production will come from wind power, lowering the carbon footprint of the production process, the company said in a statement. All of this makes for one of the cleanest fuel sources on the planet, according to Porsche. In fact, the process will be so clean that cars burning synthetic fuel will have a lower overall carbon footprint than electric cars once emissions related to manufacturing are factored in, according to Porsche vice president of GT cars and manufacturing Dr. Frank Walliser. However, Porsche noted that the amount of energy involved makes the process of manufacturing and distributing synthetic fuel is still less efficient than charging an electric car. The is slated to produce around 34,340 gallons of fuel during the first stage slated for 2022. A second stage, through 2024 is expected to ramp up production to 14.5 million gallons annually. And a third stage that will take the project through 2026 will further boost annual production capacity to 145.3 million gallons. Porsche plans to use synthetic fuel in its Mobil1 Supercup one-make race series beginning in 2022. The overall hope – along with the pressing environmental need for such technologies – is that synthetic fuel can help keep Porsche’s classic cars on the road in the era of electric cars and beyond. For instance, the new fuel may be a good fit for the 911, which Porsche has hesitated to electrify. But cost may prove to be an issue, along with the fact that the production process is not yet proven. The Porsche team of researchers are working to get the price below $2 per liter or $7.6 per gallon - but that would still make synthetic fuel more expensive than gasoline, even in Europe.Still, Porsche is hopeful about the future of this fuel. “I’m pleased that we’re making progress on this international beacon project for the hydrogen economy together with strong international partners from business and politics,” says Armin Schnettler, EVP for New Energy Business at Siemens Energy. “With Haru Oni, we’re bringing our power-to-X technology to the global market. We’re jointly developing and realizing the world’s first integrated and commercial large-scale plant for producing synthetic, carbon-neutral fuels. In southern Chile, we’re implementing one of the energy industry’s most exciting projects for the future and driving forward the decarbonization of the mobility sector. It means we’re making an important and rapidly effective contribution to reducing CO2 emissions in the traffic and transport sector.” The Haru Oni project benefits from the perfect climatic conditions for wind energy in Magallanes province in southern Chile to produce the virtually carbon-neutral fuel using low-cost green wind power, Porsche noted. Porsche AG has set itself an ambitious goal: in 2030, the company wants to have a CO2-neutral balance sheet across the entire value chain. The Executive Board of Porsche AG provided information on this at the annual press conference. “Sustainability is an important part of our Strategy 2030 – holistically: on economic, ecological, and social terms,” says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. “We launched a comprehensive decarbonization program with a firm target in mind: Porsche wants to have a CO2-neutral balance sheet throughout the entire value chain in 2030. We will achieve this by systematically avoiding and reducing CO2 emissions.”

Let’s take a look at some of the comfort features on the Panamera that make it one of the best luxury cars of 2022: As a Porsche, the front of the cabin is, of course, focused on you - the driver. But in the back, relaxed serenity reigns supreme. There’s generous space for your passengers and the large luggage compartment under the wide opening tailgate keeps space freed up inside the cabin. Folding rear seat backrests allow larger cargo to be transported as well. Clearly, not your typical sports car. But a sports car just the same. In front, the driver and passenger seat offer a high level of comfort and provide lateral back support in fast corners. Among other things, the seat height, cushion and backrest angles and forward/backward positions are electrically adjustable. All without restricting freedom of movement.

The 18-way, electric Adaptive Sport Seats may be just what your doctor ordered, allowing you raise the side bolsters on the cushion and backrest. They offer you and your passengers comfort on long journeys and made-to-measure lateral support in the corners. The rear seats come with an abundance of leg and headroom and effective lateral support during cornering without sacrificing comfort. Power Seats with backrest adjustment, cushion length adjustment and lumbar support are also available for the rear seat, according to Porsche. And depending on the equipment you choose, the front passenger seat can also be adjusted from the rear. Along with the Adaptive Sport Seats in front, the rear seats are also designed as Sport Seats and include raised side bolsters that will keep you and your passengers comfy on even the longest road trips.

Floor Mats When it comes to your Porsche you want and deserve precision down to the very last detail. Porsche OEM tailored floor mats allow you to set those accents to your own preferences, even in the footwell of your cabin. When you pay a premium price for your luxury vehicle, every single spec of the car should be top-notch, right? The exterior of the car is already pristine in terms of design, and the engine has unmatched power. The seats are also made of perfect leather.

They are made to fit your model right down to the last centimeter. You want to be sure your mat is all-weather and capable of withstanding all of the elements including snow, rain, and mud. With proper care, they are guaranteed to hold up for years to come. They have to work well and look good. They have to be Porsche OEM floor mats. Car Covers A car cover can help protect your Porsche whether it’s sitting in a garage or a carport. Using a car cover will keep your Porsche much cleaner and save you a lot of time and money in terms of washing the car. You need a car cover especially if your Porsche sits outside for any period of time. Sun exposure can damage exterior paint as well as the dashboard and upholstery. So in order to preserve your car and its value be sure to use a cover. We recommend OEM Porsche car covers that are designed to fit your specific Porsche model like a glove. That means your car, when parked outside your home or inside your garage won’t be making contact with the sun (unless you are driving) or with dust, chemicals, leaves, and sap. The cover will also help keep your exterior paint from fading or scratching. And the interior will last longer as well. A cover also helps deter thieves who can’t see exactly what is under the sheath without approaching the vehicle. So when in doubt, cover it up! Porsche OEM covers are manufactured after taking precise measurements to fit your model so they fit every angle of your auto. They fit better and look better than universal covers. Indoor covers provide a very soft material that pampers the paint while protecting it from scratches and dings from other cars. Outdoor car covers have more rugged materials that help protect your vehicle from the sun and other harsh elements. They are waterproof and can save your car from ice, snow, bird droppings and squirrels, and other critters. So what’s the best car cover for you Porsche? An OEM Porsche cover, of course. They are customized to your model, tailored to indoor or outdoor use, all around just perfect for your Porsche, whether it’s a 911 Carrera, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, Taycan, 918 Spyder, Carrera GT, or Panamera model. There are also specific covers for the 959, 924, 944, 968, 356, and GT1 models. Towing Hitch A trailer hitch is the main connector between a tow vehicle and trailer. It’s also the structural component that bolts onto the vehicle and provides a coupling point to hook up a trailer. And a Porsche OEM towing hitch ensures that you are not going to damage your car or the mass that you are towing. The Porsche Cayenne, for instance, has a towing capacity of over 7,000 pounds. The Cayenne is quite simply the most versatile vehicle Porsche has ever built. This includes the capability of being used as a tow vehicle. All Porsche Cayenne models have trailer-hitch preparation as standard equipment (except the Hybrid model). With its exceptional towing capacity, the Cayenne takes you down the road as perhaps no Porsche ever before. A factory retrofit kit includes a manually detachable trailer hitch that accommodates a maximum braked trailer weight of 7,716 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 617 pounds. Keep in mind: The V6 models with a manual transmission have a lower towing capacity. The kit comes with a brake light module, wiring harness, and bolts necessary for installation as well as a 13-pin socket. For more details contact us today. Tread Plates A treadplate is also known as a floor plate or a diamond plate or even a diamond tread plate. It provides a durable, anti-slip surface for dock surfaces, vehicle running boards, among other things. It’s resistant to weathering, corrosion, and chemicals and should require no maintenance or surface treatments – especially if you choose a Porsche OEM tread plate. A good tread plate is lightweight but durable. It’s also easy to clean and non-skid, as well as being highly resistant to corrosion.
