  14. The 2010 Cayenne is the first major overhaul to Porsche’s luxury SUV since it was launched in 2003. Although the original was facelifted in 2007, this new 2010 model is all-new; bigger and with revised styling, more power, reduced fuel economy and improved interior quality, while the range has been slimmed down. For the first time, Porsche is offering the Cayenne in diesel and hybrid forms and well as with conventional petrol power. As well as the luxury expected in a car that starts at 241,000AED, Porsche promises that the Cayenne will perform both on-road and off-road, and it has the technology to back that claim up. The entry-level car in the range is the Cayenne, which comes with a 3.6-litre V6 engine producing 300bhp (10bhp more than the 2009 model). Fuel consumption is reduced compared by 20 percent compared to its predecessor, and it’s 165kg lighter. The Cayenne diesel boasts a 3.0-litre, 240bhp V6 engine and an impressive 550Nm of torque, while the Cayenne S puts out 400bhp from its 4.8-litre V8 (up 15bhp) and cuts its weight by 180kg. The Cayenne S Hybrid uses a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 engine and a 47bhp electric motor to produce combined figures of 380bhp and 580Nm of torque and just 1,000rpm. This takes it very close to the regular Cayenne S in terms of performance, but with polluting CO2 emissions lower than the base Cayenne and fuel economy of just 8.2 litres per 100km (combined). The range-topping Cayenne Turbo boasts a turbocharged version of the 4.8-litre V8 engine and puts out 500bhp. All the 2010 Cayennes come with a new eight-speed automatic transmission, which Porsche says is advanced enough to mean that a low-ratio box is not necessary for off-road use. The equipment range is also impressive, but beware – the options list can significantly ramp the price up if you’re not careful. Available features include 18-way adjustable sports seats, Porsche Communications Management, a rear seat entertainment system and sound systems from either Bose or Burmester. Safety features include front, front side curtain airbags as standard, while rear side airbags are optional. Also included is a rollover detection system and Porsche Stability Management, which brings together ABS, electronic stability control and traction control, as well as a trailer stability system. High performance carbon-ceramic brakes are available as an option. 2010 Porsche Cayenne Cayenne Engine: 3.6-litre V6 Max power (bhp/rpm): 300/6,300 Max torque (Nm/rpm): 400/3,000 Transmission: Eight-speed automatic Kerb weight: 1,995kg Price (AED): 241,600 Cayenne Diesel Engine: 3.0-litre V6 Max power (bhp/rpm): 240/4,000-4,400 Max torque (Nm/rpm): 550/2,000-2,250 Transmission: Eight-speed automatic Kerb weight: 2,100kg Price (AED): 247,600 Cayenne S Engine: 4.8-litre V8 Max power (bhp/rpm): 400/6,500 Max torque (Nm/rpm): 500/3,500-5,300 Transmission: Eight-speed automatic Kerb weight: 2,065kg Price (AED): 289,400 Cayenne S Hybrid Engine: 3.0-litre V6 supercharged Max power (bhp/rpm): 380/5,500 (combined) Max torque (Nm/rpm): 580/1,000 (combined) Transmission: Eight-speed automatic Kerb weight: 2,240kg Price (AED): 308,900 Cayenne Turbo Engine: 4.8-litre V8 turbo Max power (bhp/rpm): 500/6,000 Max torque (Nm/rpm): 700/2,250-4,500 Transmission: Eight-speed automatic Kerb weight: 2,170kg Price (AED): 474,300 SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-porsche-cayenne/
  15. Has there ever been a sports car with such a length and distinguished heritage as the Porsche 911? We’ll let that debate rage, but what’s certain is that the current range of 911s represents almost 50 years of design evolution with the aim of producing one of the best sports cars ever created. Rear-engined and (mostly) rear-wheel drive, the 911 is both a status symbol and a finely-tuned driver’s car, with plenty of versions available to suit all tastes. The Carrera could be called the entry-level 911, although to do so seems churlish as there’s nothing basic about it. It’s available in both rear and four-wheel drive and in both standard and more powerful S form. The standard Carrera and Carrera 4 boast a 3.6-litre flat-six engine making 345bhp, while the Carrera S and Carrera 4S house a larger 3.8-litre engine with 385bhp. All are available with either manual gearboxes or Porsche’s PDK (double clutch) seven-speed automatic transmission, and are also available as a cabriolet. The Targa and Targa 4S differentiate themselves by way of a glass tailgate and electric glass sunroof, sort of like a cross between a coupe and a convertible. For real power fans, the new 911 Turbo and Turbo Cabriolet are powered by a bi-turbo 3.8-litre engine with a massive 500bhp. An optional Sports Chrono Package ups the maximum torque for even more grunt. Hardcore driving fans will like the six-speed manual gearbox found in the stripped out GT3 and GT3 RS models, which boast 3.8-litre engines with 435bhp and 450bhp respectively. For the collectors, the 911 Sport Classic is limited to just 250 cars and comes with a ducktail spoiler inspired by the 1973 Carrera RS and 408bhp, as well as a sumptuous interior – as you’d expect for nearly 740,000AED.

  16. The Boxster caused a revelation when it launched in 1996, providing a genuine Porsche driving experience for far less money than the somewhat pricey 911. The second generation of Boxster was introduced in 2005 and has changed little since a facelift for the 2009 model. The major difference to the range in 2010 is the addition of the Boxster Spyder; a lightweight, stripped out driver-focused car. The Boxster’s name is a cross between Boxer – the name for the style of engine it uses – and roadster, reflecting its top-down possibilities by way of a folding canvas roof. Despite its sporting heritage, plenty of luxuries are available in the Boxster and Boxster S, such as leather seats and satellite navigation. The car itself seats two and powers the rear wheels from a mid-mounted engine. The entry-level Boxster comes with a 2.9-litre, flat six-cylinder engine that develops 255 horsepower, while the Boxster S houses a 3.4-litre unit putting out 310bhp. Both are available with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a PDK dual clutch automatic with seven speeds. Both are available with an option Sports Chrono Package Plus, which features launch control for flawless, high-speed starts from standstill. The Boxster Spyder is the lightest car that Porsche sells, weighing just 1,275kg thanks to the removal of the roof-folding mechanism, radio and, crucially, air conditioning – don’t rely on this as an every day car. It sports a tuned version of the Boxster S engine, developing 320bhp. The Spyder is inspired by the Porsche roadsters of the past and rides on an all-new sports suspension. It comes with the Sports Chrono Package Plus as standard, and can accelerate from 0 to 100kph in less than five seconds. SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-porsche-boxster/
  17. It’s easy to think of the Cayman as being simply a Boxster with a hard roof, but don’t interpret that generalisation as a bad thing. Far from it; some Porsche fans believe the Cayman is the best-looking Porsche available and few will quibble with its driving prowess. Like the Boxster, the Cayman is intended to be a more cost effective alternative Porsche to the expensive 911, but strives to retain the same engineering standards and driver experience. Indeed, its performance around Germany’s legendary Nurburgring circuit is only five seconds slower than a basic 911. The Cayman is a two-seater, rear-wheel drive coupe, with the engine located in the middle. The boot space, therefore, is divided between a 150-litre space under the bonnet and a 260-litre compartment at the back. A rear spoiler adorns the boot lid and extends automatically at higher speeds. The car was revamped in 2009 and nothing changes for 2010. Two versions of the Cayman are available. The standard car comes with a 2.9-litre, flat six-cylinder engine that produces 265bhp, attached to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a PDK double-clutch seven-speed automatic. It rides on 18-inch alloy wheels. The Cayman S comes on larger 19-inch wheels and is powered by a 3.4-litre engine making 320bhp. Both cars are available with the optional Sports Chrono Package Plus, which includes launch control for perfect high speed starts. Other options include a lights package with LED running lights and more powerful bi-xenon headlights that move with steering inputs for better visibility around corners. A limited slip differential can be specified to improve cornering ability further, while luxury features include leather upholstery and a communication package with iPod connectivity and satellite navigation.

  18. Seldom has a new car caused so much controversy as the Panamera. In fact, the introduction of a new type of car to the Porsche range caused outrage amongst die-hard fans of the brand that hadn’t been seen since, well, the last time they introduced a new type of car. When the German sports car company announced it was introducing a sedan, the reaction was similar to that when it announced an SUV. But the Cayenne has gone on to sell very well, so don’t be surprised to see the same from the Panamera. Porsche has strived to achieve a balance between comfort and its sporting heritage with this new four-door, four-seat machine. So while there’s plenty of rear legroom and lots of luxury, the driving position is low and 911-like, the suspension is firm and the engines powerful. Not all the international Panamera range is on sale in the Middle East – the lower-end models are dropped for the region, meaning we get the S, 4S and Turbo models. Engine choices begin with the 400bhp, 4.8-litre V8 found in the Panamera S and 4S (the difference between the two being rear and four-wheel drive respectively). The top-level Panamera Turbo uses the same engine, but with a bi-turbo system to up the power to 500bhp. All the engines are available with either a six-speed manual transmission or Porsche’s seven-speed, dual-clutch PDK automatic. Powered leather seats, climate control and a Bose sound system are standard, and options include satellite navigation and a DVD rear seat entertainment system.
