Porsche 911 Turbo S 2022

 

Spotted in Geneva, I absolutely love the colour combination on this 911, the gloss black paint and the sky blue brake calipers matching the blue interior works a treat! The 3.7 flat-6 of the Turbo S produces 641bhp. 0-62 takes 2.7 seconds up to a top speed of 205mph or 330km/h. Madness!!!

Porsche Cayman GT4 2015

 

More Porsche today with this black Cayman GT4 from 2015. The GT4 has a 3.8 straight-6 engine with 380bhp, which allow the Porsche to reach 62mph in 4.4 second and up to a top speed of 183mph or 295km/h.

Back with a Porsche Taycan this month but a 4S model this time. With a battery capacity of 93.4 kWh and the equivalent of 483bhp, the 4S goes from 0 to 62mph in only 4 seconds and to a top speed of 155mph or 250km/h. The battery range is given for 288 miles, 30 miles more than on the Turbo S.

Porsche 911 Carrera S convertible 2019

 

Love the restyling on the 911. This one is the convertible Carrera S. Flat-6 engine with 444bhp, 0-62 in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 190mph or 306km/h.

Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo 2018

 

A shooting brake today with this Porsche Panamera hybrid. With a 2.9 V6 coupled with a 14kWh battery, this Panamera develops 462bhp. 0-62 takes 4.6 seconds and the top speed is limited to 170mph (274km/h)

Porsche Cayman GT4 2016

 

Not one you see much around, the Porsche Cayman GT4. It has a 3.8 flat-six engine which produces 385bhp. 0-62 is covered in 4.4 seconds and the top speed is 185mph or 313km/h.

Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 2011

A couple of pictures I took a few years ago at the Porsche centre in Wilmslow (Manchester). This is the Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0. Only 600 of these were produced and this one is presented in Carrera White. It has a 4.0 flat-six which produces 494bhp. 0-62 is covered in 3.9 seconds and the top speed is 193mph or 311km/h.

Porsche 911 Turbo S 2017

A Porsche 911 Turbo S in black today. The Turbo S has the 3.8 straight-6 engine with 580bhp. 0-62 takes 2.9 seconds and the top speed is 205mph or 330km/h. Classic shape but as beautiful as ever!

Porsche Boxster Spyder 2016

 

Not the most usual Boxster today with the Spyder version of the 981. The Spyder is the equivalent of the Cayman GT4 and therefore shares its 3.8 flat-6 (also found in the 911 Carrera S). This gives the Boxster 371bhp, a 0-62 in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 180mph or 290km/h.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Convertible 2016

A really nice Porsche 911 Carrera 4S convertible today, spotted in Wilmslow a few weeks ago. The 4S has a 3.0 straight-6 engine which produces 420bhp. The top speed is 188mph or 303km/h for the manual version (187mph or 301km/h for the PDK automatic). 0-62 takes 4.4 seconds (4.2 for the PDK). One of the rare convertible I would buy as I think it looks fantastic!

Porsche Cayman GT4 2015

Very unusual colour for this rather rare Porsche Cayman GT4. Only a few hundred of these were produced, the reason being simple, you are looking at a 911 Carrera S disguised as a Cayman! Porsche have indeed fitted the 3.8 flat 6 from the Carrera S into this GT4 as well as a few extra goodies from the 911 GT3 (brakes, Active Suspension Management...). The GT4 also sits lower than a standard Cayman, it comes exclusively with a manual gearbox, has a limited slip-differential, vented front bumper, fixed rear wing... so quite a racing machine. As far as power is concerned, the 3,8 flat 6 produces 385bhp, with 0-62 taking around 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 183mph or 295km/h. 

Porsche 911 Speedster 3.2 1989

Having not done a tour of the local dealerships for a while, I thought yesterday was the perfect day for it. As usual, I headed first to Knutsford to have a look at Mclaren and Bentley before pushing on to Wilmslow for Aston Martin, Ferrari and Porsche. Unfortunately for me, no P1, 675LT spider or LaFerrari but still some cool cars around. The first one, and today's post is courtesy on the newly refurbished Ferrari dealership. It is not a Ferrari but a rather good-looking Porsche: the 911 Speedster in Grand Prix White with a Marine Blue leather interior. This car is one of only 139 right-hand drive ever produced between January 1989 and July 1989.  As far as the engine is concerned, the Speedster has a 3.2 air cooled flat 4 which produces 231bhp. 0-62mph is covered in 6.2 seconds and the top speed is 152mph or 245km/h. It is an absolutely stunning car, just need £220,000 to have it in the garage!

Gumball 3000 Dublin to Bucharest - Manchester Etihad 2016

Today, I have a bit of a different post. This week is the 2016 Gumball 3000 from Dublin to Bucharest and it so happened that the rally was stopping in Manchester on Monday, on their way from Edinburgh to London. The line-up is pretty good with some rare cars, from a RUF CTR3 to a Porsche 918, to a couple of Ferrari F12 Tdf, to Lamborghini Aventadors, SLS, Mclarens, Brabus, 458... And despite the rain, I was there to take a few pictures and videos, which I edited into a video and uploaded onto Youtube, so feel free to check it out by clicking on the link below:

I thought you might also enjoy a few pictures before watching the video so here they are.

Porsche Cayenne GTS 2014

Another Manchester find, this Porsche Cayenne GTS in white. The car definitely has a body kit on, but there is no badge on the car and I haven't found the same kit online. So if you do, please post it in the comment section.

Back to the car itself: a big 4.8 V8 engine with 420bhp under the bonnet, 0-62 takes 5.7 seconds and the top speed is 162mph or 261km/h. Not bad performance for a car which weighs over 2 tons! Still wouldn't be my choice though...
