Porsche 718-ifies Cayman, Cayman S

Last year, Porsche unveiled the new 718 Boxster, borrowing from the nostalgia bin to highlight the car's new turbocharged flat-four engine. Now, those changes are coming to the Cayman, and the result is the 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman and Cayman S.

The biggest change, as with the 718 Boxster, is the introduction of two new engines. The standard 718 Cayman will come with a 2.0-liter flat-four engine, good for 300 horsepower, 280 pound-feet of torque and a 4.5-second 0-60mph time. The hotter Cayman S packs a 2.5-liter four-banger with 350 horsepower, 309 torques and a 0-60 time of 4 seconds flat.

The look of the Cayman has also gone through a change. The front sports a slimmer fascia, with new headlights and enlarged air intakes. The rear's all new, with a strong accent strip marked by a large Porsche badge, as well as new taillights. The rear wheels are a half an inch wider for improved traction and upgraded brakes to make sure you stop. There are also a wealth of performance options on tap, including Porsche Torque Vectoring and the brand's adaptive suspension system. Inside, the 718 Cayman features a new upper dashboard, new air vents and a steering wheel similar to the 918 Spyder's. Porsche's PCM touchscreen infotainment system is standard, and it can be optioned out to include navigation, Apple CarPlay, Google Earth and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

While the 718 Cayman and Cayman S are technically on sale right now, deliveries won't begin until late November. Pricing starts at $53,900 for the 718 Cayman, and $66,300 for the 718 Cayman S.

The Redesigned Porsche Panamera

The Porsche Panamera used to be Porsche’s black sheep. Being not very good looking, slow, and long-in-all-the-wrong-places.

 

The 2017 Porsche Panamera

They decided enough was enough it was time for a change. Now completely revamped, redesigned, and re-engineered, the 2017 Porsche Panamera with smash your eyeballs into the back of your head. Because holy hell, is it fast.

Over its history, Porsche has made cars that are absolutely stunning performance machines. And the new 2017 Panamera 4S, the starter performance model, is no exception, the performance spec are simply mind boggling. It packs a 2.9 liter V6, with two small but potent, mid-mounted turbochargers, producing 440 horsepower and 405 ft-lbs of torque. Pulling out a mind boggling, zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.0 seconds. That is nearly supercar quick by any measure, but it doesn’t stop there.

Redesigned Interior

The inside is also completely redesigned. Say goodbye to buttons and most of the gauges. Physical buttons in high end cars are becoming a thing of the past. The new Panamera’s Advanced Cockpit cleans up the interior with touch-sensitive controls for Driver and passengers, front and rear. The only physical gauge is a tachometer that invokes memories of the classic 365. Instead, the tach, is flanked by two 7-inch LCD screens and a large 12-inch screen in the radio console area.

Porsche Builds the Panamera in Germany and we would suggest, if possible, you take delivery in Europe. Because you can watch your car get built, visit the attached museum, and take your Panamera out unto the ultra-sweet Porsche racetrack.

We can’t wait for the Panamera to hit our showroom floor this fall. Until then, check out our other great Porsches or contact us to order yours today!

2017 Porsche 911 Carrera

  

  Major evolutions of Porsche’s most famous model don’t come along that often which makes this latest Porsche 911 Carrera S a big deal. The 911 engine range is growing fast. The core range still offers a choice of downsized 3.4-litre in the Carrera or a 400bhp 3.8-litre in the Carrera S. The latter is amazing, capable of hitting 62mph in a 4.2 seconds and doing almost 190mph. But there are now two new performance alternatives, either a twin-turbo 3.8-litre with up to 560bhp, or a race-tuned normally aspirated 3.8-litre with 475bhp and a wailing 9,000rpm redline. Both, in their own way, are epic.

  It fits perfectly. The roomier new 911 cabin is as sturdy as ever, but is also far more luxurious. There are a lot of buttons on the Carrera GT-inspired centre console but the fundamentals – feel-good steering wheel, sporty yet comfortable seating – are also firmly ticked. Porsche has retained the three cowled instruments and even their old-school graphics but they are supplemented by a new digital screen. The gear lever, steering wheel and pedals are all perfectly placed.

2017 Porsche Panamera to Debut June 28

Porsche teased us yesterday with a primer for the new Panamera. Porsche's description for the video is classic Porsche and it gives us some insight on what we can expect in the new Panamera. The description reads, "For us, it was never just about horsepower. But about more ideas per horsepower. About engines that are more efficient, not bigger. About a design that follows principles, not fashion. About Sports Cars you can drive every day. This is why our engineers and designers have built the next Panamera. With the courage of a new generation. The courage to change." While we finally see what this vehicle looks like on June 28, its official unveiling will not occur until late September at the 2016 Paris Auto Show.

Porsche has always been innovating since their inception. Given the hints in the video, it is safe to assume we are expecting a more powerful vehicle with greater efficiency. We can expect to see some upgrades in technology, similar to how all the other Porsches have seen. We can also expect there to be at least some variation of the Panamera as a hybrid, as hinted in the video.

Not really sure how they can improve upon the already stellar Panamera, but we are definitely eager to see it.

Porsche Cayenne: Platinum Edition

Hot like the pepper, Porsche Cayenne has released a new version of its mainstay luxury SUV in the Platinum Edition. The Cayenne Platinum Edition has plenty to offer, including a high level of content at an attractive price. For example, large 20-inch RS Spyder design wheels are housed in wider wheel arches and the special interior is dominated by leather eight-way electrically adjustable sport seats with Alcantara® center panels, Porsche crest on the head rests, and stainless steel door sills with illuminated "Platinum Edition" lettering.

Comfort and convenience was what Porsche was aiming for in this design, and they definitely succeeded. To show that convenience, standard equipment for the Cayenne Platinum Edition includes Bi-Xenon™ headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), Power Steering Plus, and front and rear ParkAssist. The exterior mirrors and rear-view mirror are equipped with an automatic anti-glare feature as standard, while dark-tinted privacy glass (also standard) provides additional privacy for rear passengers.

The most technologically advanced Porsche yet? Platinum edition comes standard with Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system that includes navigation, the Connect Plus module, and a BOSE® Surround Sound system. It also comes with auxiliary cabin conditioning which allows the vehicle to be programmed to use the heater or air-conditioning to pre-condition the cabin before the driver enters the vehicle.

It is no coincidence that Porsche wants to improve further upon the already hot selling Cayenne. Winning award after award, it most recently was awarded the Best of the Best award by the Robb Report for SUVs and Wagons.

Equipped with as much as 560 Horsepower, Cayenne is never short of power. In fact, that is more than any other luxury SUV in its class. To get your Cayenne, make sure you visit us or chat with one our sales representatives at Porsche of Quad Cities.
