Porsche unveils the All-Electric Concet Car: The Mission E

Porsche debuted their All-Electric Mission E Concept Car at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

 

 

  Porsche unveiled the Mission E Concept, a four-seat, battery-powered sports car. The all-electric vehicle, a first in the brand’s 84-year history, stands a mere four feet, three inches from the ground and has a futuristic windswept shape. It runs 310 miles between charges, and two motors evenly distribute 600 horsepower to all four wheels, zooming the car from 0 to 62 m.p.h. in under 3.5 seconds.
  It wouldn’t be a Porsche event though without some sort of record being broken. During the unveiling, the company announced that the Mission E Concept can be charged to approximately 80 percent of its battery capacity in 15 minutes—even faster than Tesla’s Model S. The makers of that car can take heart in the fact that their vehicle has been on the road for three years now.

The new Porsche Macan GTS

 

 

The new Macan GTS. Life, Intensified.

  What turns a powerful sports enthusiast into an exceptional top athlete? Intensive training. The result can be seen immediately – as the sportiest interpretation of the series. The Macan GTS is more muscular, sharper, lower and always ready for action. The exclusive 20-inch RS Spyder Design wheels in satin black are reminiscent of motorsport and look as sporty as they are exclusive. The intensive color of the red brake calipers clearly promises high performance. The black Bi-Xenon main headlights and tinted LED taillights are standard equipment and catch the eye at any time of day. An unmistakable Porsche look is provided by the new optional LED headlights. Further black accents contrast with the exterior color.

 

   With one destination in mind: life itself. That’s the principle resolutely followed by the interior of the Macan GTS. It perfectly integrates the driver. All of the functions are clear and close to hand. The centrally positioned tachometer stands out, thanks to its black instrument dial and ‘GTS logo’. The feeling of sitting in a sports car is ensured by the exclusive eight-way Sports seats, with ‘GTS’ logos embroidered on the headrests of the front seats and outer rear seats. Leather and aluminum trim strips emphasize the exclusive side of the Macan GTS – while Alcantara®, a material well known from motorsport, once again highlights its sporty side.

A legendary 1964 Porsche 356

   She may have sung about Mercedes Benz, but Janis Joplin owned a Porsche—a 1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet, to be exact. The psychedelic roadster has a (nearly) 100-horsepower engine, progressive disc brakes, authentic non-power steering, a body weight of next to nothing, and if you’re lucky, the four-speed manual transmission will hit 60 miles per hour in 10 seconds. Driving it feels as if you’ve stepped back in time to join the glory days of motoring: With its short, little snub nose, low ride, and that four-speed manual transmission, you'll achieve total road contact between human and machine.

  She bought the car used, off a lot in 1968, and let her artist friend, Dave Richards, paint jellyfish and butterflies all over it. They called it a kaleidoscopic rendition of the "history of the universe."
When you slip inside the 365 it's like touching a ghost—you can almost smell patchouli.
With Porsche character intact, it starts right up. Like Joplin's rock ballads, her darling little Porsche has stood the test of time.
