The Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid

Porsche has gone green. The Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid is being released in a few months making it Porsche’s first full Hybrid! Creating this Hybrid was really about experimenting with a platform of technology and pushing Porsche to the limit. The end product is this elegantly designed vehicle that proves more efficient. The Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid is extremely light weight. Using a lighter all-wheel drive system lightens this powerful Porsche by 400 pounds. They also replaced steel parts with a lighter aluminum material in the body of the vehicle. This vehicle is all about more power with less fuel and great efficiency.

Porsche 918 Spyder Packed with More Power Post Production

Can you think of anything more exciting than a mid-engine Porsche with a 500-horsepower 3.4-liter V8 and an additional 218 horsepower courtesy of two electric motors? We can only think of one thing – more powerful. According to a report from Autocar, Porsche is said to be enlarging the displacement of the gas-swilling engine in order to extract more power from the 918 Spyder. Once it goes into production, the 918 will sport both soft and hard tops, as well as a slightly heavier front end in order to provide adequate crash resistance. When the hybrid supercar hits the market, the 22-inch wheels will likely be downsized and side exhausts may be rerouted. If all goes according to plan, Porsche will expedite about 1,200 918 Spyders ready to go on sale sometime around 2014. At Porsche of North Houston, we’re dedicated to helping you find the car of your dreams. Come in today to test drive one of our incredible vehicles or check out http://www.porscheofnorthhouston.com/ to see our inventory!

Porsche Design Eyewear: Heritage Collection

Since the Porsche Design Studio was established in 1972 by Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the Porsche Design has become tantamount with the most innovative, luxury products boasting state of the art technology and the highest quality materials possible. The Porshe Design product line includes everything from cell phones to yachts, but it is the sunglasses, one of the first items produced and one with the strongest connection to driving, that have inspired a new collection. Porsche Design Eyewear recently launched the “Heritage Collection,” a new line of Porsche inspired aviators which celebrate the history of elegant, sporty driving apparel often worn by the rich and famous in the ‘70s and ‘80s. This particular collection is not just a re-issue of one of the most notable designs, but they’ve also been modernized for the 21st century. Some of the same iconic styles that stopped being produced years ago have returned with superior upgrades including super lightweight, anti-corrosive titanium frames and lightweight shatter-proof polycarbonate lenses. The four classic styles in the collection come in various color combinations and variations of the iconic aviator shape. We think the Heritage Collection is the perfect representation of all things Porsche – sleek, functional design that looks as good as it performs.  Contact us today to see our incredible selection of sunglasses in stock at 281-944-2122 or stop by and take a look!

Porsche Being Used as Shuttles at a NYC Hotel

The Lincoln Town Car, the staple vehicle for the “black car” shuttling services, is ending production in about a year and an unexpected suitor is stepping up to be the next successor. Porsche entered an agreement with the Gansevoort Hotel Group in New York where the new Panamera’s will run as the hotels’ airport shuttles, as well as be available to guests for complimentary trips within the city. The Panamera 4S is an all-wheel-drive perfectly suited to carve elegantly through the downtown cobblestone streets of New York. Rather than take a similar approach to other high-end car companies by promoting the vehicle by shuttling celebrities to and from premiere events, Porsche says the lower-profile approach is bringing cars and future customers together more successfully. Do you think Hotels and car services in Houston will take the same approach? We hope so! At Porsche of North Houston, we are proud to provide you with vehicles at the forefront of optimum performance, as well as esteemed customer service. Call (888) 510-4711 to learn more about what we can offer you or check out our inventory here.

The Grooviest Porsche We've Ever Seen

One look at Janis Joplin’s 1965 Porsche and you are immediately taken back to the modish days of the Seventies. Joplin apparently bought the used 1965 Porsche from a Beverly Hills car dealer for nearly $3500 in 1968. A roadie for Joplin’s former band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, painted the car in swirling psychedelic designs including images of Joplin and Big Brother on the front fender. You can also see butterflies, rainbows, and rolling hillsides within the colorfully detailed design. Can you imagine cruising around in this unique ride today? We personally think its pretty hip, and one of a kind – just like Porsche.
