Ever since Ferdinand Porsche built his 356 roadster, the name Porsche has become
synonymous with high performance sports cars. Today, the name Porsche is as
strong as ever in the realm of performance automobiles, no matter which Porsche
model is discussed. Whether the Porsche Cayenne, Boxster, or 911 is the topic of
conversation, it is their power, handling, and craftsmanship that inspires
superlatives.
All modern day discussions about Porsche begin with the 911, successor to the
356. It is with the 911 that the name Porsche would be defined and upon which
the rest of the dynasty would be derived. The Porsche 911 of today is an easy
car to drive and maintain. With a 3.6 or 3.8 liter 6-cylinder engine, it
elevates its super car status.
The Porsche Boxster is another superbly designed sports car with ample power,
295hp, and agile handling characteristics due to its mid-engine balance. Even if
you choose your Porsche Boxster with a Tiptronic S automatic transmission, you
will be amazed at its quick 0-60 acceleration. Those who prefer the manual
transmission, will achieve a Zen-like state of transcendence from running the
Boxster through the gears and hearing that engine rev.
Those in the know consider the Porsche Cayenne a true SUV muscle car, and with
good reason. Consider the Cayenne Turbo-S, with its 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, a quick
sprint to the mall can be a thrilling adventure. The 4.0L V8 engine in this
rocket can take the SUV up to 171mph. Porsche has branched out into other
vehicle configurations and has gained even more appreciation for manufacturing
vehicles with incomparable quality. |
