One of the hallmarks of Porsche vehicles has always been that stellar Porsche performance. The fact of the matter is that Porsche knows how to build a supercar, and they know how to build them right.

One version of the Porsche supercar that may be on the horizon is a limited edition Porsche 911 C4S-based widebody Supersport. This vehicle will have duct-tail spoiler, as well as a double bubble roof.

It is expected that this Carrera Supersport will feature Fuch-style wheels, as well. The vehicle will also have a primer-gray colored paint job, and a brown leather interior for a bit of a retro feeling.

Porsche likely won’t make too many of these vehicles. The price tag will probably be somewhere above $200,000.

One of the most anticipated new cars to hit the North American market will be the 2010 Porsche Panamera. This highly-anticipated sport sedan is set to hit Porsche dealers in mid-October, and is sure to shake the auto world.

The 2010 Porsche Panamera has been on the design block for some time now. This vehicle is a perfect mix of performance, styling and even comfort. The Panamera is roomy in the way that the Porsche Cayenne SUV is roomy, but is also sporty like the Porsche Carrera. In many ways, this car is in a class of its own.

The Porsche Panamera is a family car with a modern interior. It features the Porsche PDK, which is the double clutch transmission Porsche enthusiasts have been raving about. This makes shifting seamless, causing no power loss or traction when shifting.

It is even expected that Porsche will eventually offer the Panamera as a hybrid. Today’s Panamera is available with a 4.8 liter V8 engine, in a rear-wheel drive, four wheel drive and a turbo model.

If you want a compact upscale economy car with a truly European flair, then you should take a look at the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The Jetta is the only value-based European sedna on the U.S. market, and it’s one worth looking at. The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta has powerful engine options, a comfortable interior that gives you a pleasant driving experience and plenty of cargo room.

There are two styles to the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. There is the sedan and the Sportwagen. Each offers several trim levels, including s, SE, SEL, and TDI. The sedan also offers a Wolfsburg Edition trim level.

You can choose from three different engines for the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The S and SE trim levels, and the SEL trim level for the sedan, have a 2.5 liter five cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower. A five speed manual transmission is standard, and you can switch it out for a six speed automatic with Tiptronic automanual ability. The Wolfsburg Edition and the SEL Sportwagen get a turbocharged 2.0 liter four cylinder, producing 200 horsepower. That engine is paired with a six speed manual transmission with the dual-clutch DSG automatic transmission as optional.

The tires on your Porsche vehicle are not only an important part of how your car gets down the road, they are also a part of your Porsche style and image. Keeping your tires and wheels clean is just one way to make sure your Porsche is the envy of everyone you know.

It’s important, first, to understand how wheels get dirty. The main source of dirt and grime on your wheels is brake dust. Brake pad adhesive is at the root of most of the wheel dirt problems. When that adhesive residue gets wet, it can etch your wheels. In addition, the metal filings of your brakes become hot during braking and may burn tiny holes in the finish of your wheels. You might also find small droplets that look like tar from the road on your wheels, which is probably re-polymerized adhesive.

Choose the least aggressive way to clean your wheels. Start with a car wash detergent to see if that does the trick. If that doesn’t get your Porsche tires lean, you can try a tire cleaner. Some of the more popular brands tend to be acidic and can affect the finish on your wheels, so be careful here. Try to find a wheel cleaner that is pH balanced.

Just because you have one of the best performance cars on the planet doesn’t mean you’re not concerned about the planet. There are things you can do every day in the way you drive your Porsche and the way you take care of your Porsche to help out the environment around you.

One thing you can do to drive green in your Porsche is to keep your engine running at peak performance. When a spark plug is misfiring, for example, you can lose as much as a third of your fuel effeciency. Replacing fluids and filters are all part of this, as well. Keep up on your regular maintenance schedule. It not only keeps your Porsche running smooth, it helps the environment.

You should also keep your tires inflated and aligned. As you probably know, just a few pounds of tire pressure low can make your engine work harder and use more gas. The same is true when your wheels are misaligned. Properly inflated tires also last longer, and in the long run mean fewer old tires that have to be scrapped.

You should also drive with gas use in mind. Try to avoid accelerating suddenly, and avoid speeding. Both of these practices make your engine work harder, use more gas, and cause more wear and tear on your vehicle.

Keep your Porsche running green. Schedule your regular maintenance today.

If you’re a Porsche enthusiast, you probably know the Porsche 959. The 959 was the most advanced sports car ever built by Porsche at the time. It featured a 2.8 liter flat six cylinder twin turbo engine paired with a six speed manual. It had all wheel drive, antilock brakes and a double wishbone suspension.

The height of the car could be adjusted from inside the cockpit, allowing the driver to lower the height of the vehicle based on whether they were driving on the highway or on choppy pavement.

There are many curious stories about the Porsche 959 development. The chief engineer delayed the release because they wanted to get it just right, for example. It was also built to be sold legally and driven on public roads.

The Porsche 959 could do go from zero to 60 in 3.6 seconds. It had a top speed of 197 miles per hour. It origially sold for around $225,000, but today a used 959 in decent shape will go for around $375,000 or more.

One of the most important systems in your Porsche vehicle is the suspension. Most Porsche cars have a finely tuned suspension that is specifically designed to increase the car’s performance. If your suspension isn’t functioning correctly, your ride will be rough and you may have a hard time controlling the vehicle.

Shocks and struts are an integral part of the suspension in your Porsche. In some cases, you might find that your shocks and struts become warn. This is especially the case if your car does an excessive amount of bouncing over bumps, or if you lean hard into the corners. You can look behind the wheel to find the shock or strut, and look for leaking fluid.

Ball joints also tend to wear out over time. Ball joints can cause the car to not steer properly, causing you to lose control.

You should make sure to check your shocks or struts frequently for leaking. If your car isn’t handling the way it should, have the suspension checked. Make sure to have your mechanic check your ball joints at least a couple of times in a year.

Finally, make sure that your mechanic lubricates the ball joints and suspension components when you get your oil changed.
