Porsche Cayenne Hybrid

Porsche now calls the upcoming LA Auto show its most important event of the Auto calendar, now that they have removed the Detroit show from their calendar, and they are planning to bring the new Porsche Cayenne Hybrid for all to see. As the LA show has a "green" theme, most automotive makers use it as a chance to show off their alternative-fuel models that are currently in development and also those available now.


The Porsche Cayenne Hybrid is due to be released towards the end of 2009 and will use a paralled hybrid system that will enable it to achieve a fuel economy of at least 26 MPG. This is quite amazing as it keeps its off road performance and its towing capacity of 7,000 pounds.

Porsche will also be showing off the Lohner-Porsche electric vehicle, which was debuted at the 1900 world fair!

Aston Martin DBS

Aston Martin have revealed that the Astin Martin DBS, which first appeared in Daniel Craig's first James Bond movie, Casino Royale, is going to be made as a production car. It was publicly unveiled last weekend at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, near Carmel, California, but will not go on sale until early next year.

Daniel Craig drove a concept version of the Aston Martin DBS 16 months ago in Casino Royale, where he crashed the DBS in a spectacular scene while trying to avoid the lifeless body of Vesper laying in the middle of the road.

The production version of the Aston Martin DBS will be driven by a 6 litre V12 engine producing 510 horsepower, 380kW and a massive 420Nm of torque. The DBS will be slightly lighter than the DB9, weighing in at 3737kg. It will be the fastest accelerating Aston Martin ever, only needing 4.3 seconds to get from 0 to 100kmh. The DBS will have a top speed of 305kmh. To keep the DBS on the road will be 4 extra-wide Pirelli tyres which will be kept in check by using carbon/ceramic brakes.

Aston Martin's chief executive, Ulrich Bez said when unveiling the concept version at the Geneva Car Show last year: "It is not of the understated elegance of a DB9, nor the youthful agility of the V8 Vantage. It is explosive power in a black tie and has its own unique character which will equal that of James Bond."

Fastest Ever Porsche 911

Porsche will release their fastest ever Porsche 911 sports coupe in November this year. The revamped Porsche 911 GT2, will have a price tag of £108,000 (159,000€ / US$219,300).

The Porsche sports coupe will race from 0-100km per hour in only 3.7 seconds! And its 530 horsepower engine will allow the car to reach an insane top speed of 329kph (204 miles per hour). This is faster than the normally aspirated GT3 or the base version of the Porsche 911 Turbo.


The new Porsche 911 GT2 will come equipped with carbon ceramic brake disks and weight saving titanium tailpipes as well as a more efficient intake manifold. Porsche said the new rear engined GT2 consumes on average 12.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.

Brushing up on its green credentials amid criticism its powerful sports cars are heavy polluters, Porsche said the new GT2 "offers a level of fuel economy regarded as quite impossible in this performance class just a few years ago".

"With the new GT2, the (current generation) 911 model line is now complete," a spokesman said, referring to the present incarnation of the long-running 911 series, dubbed the 997.

The 911 GT2 is equipped with a six cylinder, 3.6 liter petrol Boxer engine based on the one used in the 911 Turbo, aspirated with two turbochargers employing its variable turbine geometry that can operate at exhaust temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius.
