<div><em><strong>Andrew Manifield</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>In comparison of the engine, The Porsche Cayman is positioned between the Boxster and 911. Still, it has its own different personality. It is snappier, easier, and not burdened by heavy weight hanging out the back and the need to manage the effect of that weight.<br/><br/>The Cayman is strictly a two-seater because the engine sits where the rear seats would otherwise be. This means that the engine is not quite readily accessible, although there&#8217;s a way into the oil filler via the boot. Under that long tailgate, is revealed a generous luggage area to supplement the front 911/Boxster-sized boot. Like all other Porsche, the Cayman is not very big, which makes it very practical and usable. And for all its obvious Boxster genes, the Cayman is very much its own car with its curvaceous rear wings and neat fastback roof. As with other Porsches, there&#8217;s a movable rear spoiler, which deploys above 120km/h.<br/><br/>Going back to were we started, the engine, the Cayman has 3.4 litres, a mix of the cylinder barrels of a 911 with the crankshaft of a Boxster. A 911 engine is of 3.6 or 3.8 liters and a Boxster S has a 3.2-litre engine. It&#8217;s a strange thing, but even though today&#8217;s Porsche engines are water-cooled, they still overlay their intake and exhaust notes with a breathy whine like that of the giant air-cooling fans of old.<br/><br/>Basically, the Cayman is a mix and it doesn&#8217;t have a huge number of new and unique parts. In short, the Cayman is a structure two and a half times stiffer because it&#8217;s just a Boxster with a roof. In turn, that means that the driving experience becomes much more focused because its suspension can have tauter, sportier setting.<br/><br/>Porsche Cayman reaches a maximum speed of 275 km/h and gets from zero to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds, even if the fuel thirst is low for such pace. The Cayman is especially good with the optional Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), but unlike a 911, it works well enough without it, thanks to a ride that&#8217;s firm but seldom turbulent. PASM makes the Cayman sit 10mm lower, and in its Sport mode it tautens the damping. And it feels absolutely fantastic when you have the Chrono option (complete with stopwatch for timing your hot laps).<br/><br/>Bottom line, Porsche Cayman is a remarkable illustration of a rigid, solid-roofed bodyshell&#8217;s advantages. The Cayman S has all the positive Porsche attributes you could want, and none of the snags. It&#8217;s not the fastest Porsche, not the fiercest, not the most breathtaking. It is a pooling of other Porsche parts, which means that the Cayman is not expensive to develop but it will generate big profits. The new car, by the way, takes its name not from a tax-haven archipelago, but from a type of crocodile.<br/><br/><br/><br/></div>

<div><em><strong>Gregg Hall</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Even though the Porsche 64 is considered by many to be the first car produced by the company it was really only a test car and was never built as a production automobile, in fact only three were built. The 364 was built by Ferdinand and Ferry Porsche after design by Erwin Komenda, while getting its engine modeled after the VW Beetle.<br/><br/>The 356 was offered in the beginning as a coupe, a cabriolet, and a roadster and before being taken off the market in 1965 it underwent several modifications. The models that were the most wanted were the Super 90, the Speedster, and the 356 Carrera which often fetches over $150,000 now. The original selling price for a Porsche in the latter 1950&#8217;s was only $4,000.<br/><br/>Max Hoffman was the only Porsche importer in the United States back then and wanted a lower priced, speedy version to market to Americans. So in 1954 the company manufactured the 356 Speedster with a removable windshield, bucket seats, and a very basic folding top. The Speedster production peaked at 1,171 cars in 1957 and was replaced in 1959 by the Convertible model D which featured a taller and more practical windshield as well as more comfortable seating.<br/><br/>The original 356 was featured in many Hollywood films and now brings over $100,000 at auto specialty auctions and through private dealers, if you are lucky enough to find one.<br/><br/>Even though minor modifications were made to it, the basic shape of the Porsche 356 stayed unchanged and its signature look was easily distinguished from others. The coupe and cabriolet editions were made each year until 1965 but the last 356 Roadster was made two years earlier.<br/><br/>In 1964 when Porsche introduced the popular 911, 356 vehicle production was at 14,151 and the company offered the 356 through 1965 as a lower cost alternative to the more pricey 911 which was twice that of the 356. Due to the complaining of customers that the price of the 911 was too high the company came out with the 912 which featured the cheaper engine of the 356 and it was sold until 1969.<br/><br/>Currently the Porsche 356 is a desirable and respected collector classic and was named on the top 10 list of the best sports cars of the 1960&#8217;s by Sports Car International. Today thousands of Porsche 356 owners carry on the tradition with well preserved vehicles that are driven on a regular basis.<br/><br/><br/><br/></div>

<div><em><strong>Shane Morgay</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Porsche 928, which was named ‘land shark&#8217; due to its ability to eat up the road in less time, is enjoying the limelight as it gets favorable attention from car fanatics of today&#8217;s time. Aficionados are still flabbergasted by the fastest car in the whole world. Its long existence and rocketing sales are just few of the reasons why Porsche 928 is said to be hotter than before.<br/><br/>Porsche has pioneered lots of technical features in vehicles. Moreover, said features were incorporated in its flagship deluxe coupe. Designed in the year 1971 to eventually replace 911, Porsche 928 was finally released to the public in 1977 at the Geneva Motor Show. Said car was named &#8220;International Car of the Year&#8221;. The car&#8217;s design was based on the transaxle principle where the engine was placed in front of the car and the gearbox. The extensive testing and experimentation resulted in a car with superb standards in steering, brakes, and suspension.<br/><br/>The car was a front-engined, water-cooled, 4.5 Litre V8 with a rear transaxle. It also has ABS, 2+2 seats, air-conditioning system, polyurethane bumpers, bigger luggage space, and other extras. The production of Porsche 928 comes in 5 series - the 928, 928 S, 928 S4, 928 GT and finally 928 GTS.<br/><br/>In the process, said car went through significant changes. Its shaped was smoothened to augment its aerodynamics. Flush tail lights and new wing were also incorporated in the car to yield better look and performance. To perfect the car, luxurious accessories for a Porsche were added.<br/><br/>When it comes to performance, Porsche 928 has a great weight distribution and a new powerful V8 to do better than other Porches. It is fast, sporty, fun and convenient to drive. Nonetheless, since Porsche 928 is considered a hot car, expect it to be delivered in a hefty price. The model is the most expensive car of Porsche in the market these days.<br/><br/><br/><br/></div>

<div><em><strong>Brian Hamsons</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Some of the facts about Porsche: -<br/><br/>Manufacturing the speed runners worldwide, the Porsche is the leading car manufacturer which is dealing with the new and latest models of the car. The latest models of Porsche are the streamlined models which are speeding on the roads. The high performance of the cars is due to the latest technology that had been introduced by the company. V10 engine is used in the vehicles which is delivering 600 hp. Besides this a layout of the brakes and clutch which is made up of the latest technology also supporting the car models in gaining the popularity.<br/><br/>Car models of Porsche: -<br/><br/>The models which are manufactured by the company are not just the simple racing car but these cars are as fast as the speed of light. According to the reviews from the company the car can go 0-62 mph in just a time of 3.9 seconds. And as the number of gears in the car the speed of the car goes on rising. The maximum speed when the car is switched to the 4th gear is above 143 mph and there are some models of Porsche which are providing the speed of 170 mph on 5th gear. And the most dashing fact is that the car is in the air on the 6th gear as its can provide race up to 700 rpm.<br/><br/>The most expensive and the quickest model that had been manufactured by Porsche are around 484,000$. The main reasons behind the strong appeal of the car are some of the unparalleled features of these car models. These vehicles from Porsche are containing an engine of 5.7 liter which can generate 605 hp and is categorized in V10 engine. The engine of these car models is so strong because they are Porsche-patented engine and also the transmissions of these engines are made carbon reinforced plastic.<br/><br/>Designing of the car models of Porsche: -<br/><br/>In order to make the car a perfect racing car, the center of gravity of the car is lowered by belittling the diameter of the clutch. The aerodynamic package and race-bred suspension are secure and remain unchanged till the speed of 33 km/h is achieved. Also company is also following the strategy of using the light weight materials in the car. For example, magnesium is used for developing the significant wheels and the some of the sport seats which are exception are also developed.<br/><br/>Porsche is known for producing the perfect racing sports cars which are spectacular is design and all the features of the transversally mounted transmission are added. Full care of the interiors as well as exteriors of the car is taken along with the air conditioning in these light weight car models.<br/><br/><br/><br/></div>

<div><em><strong>Darrell F</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>This mid-engined roadster is one of Porsche’s best-selling cars due to its powerful machine and sporty appearance. Its newest version, the powerful, jaw-dropping and speed-racing 2008 Porsche Boxster has already received great reviews and high ratings on its first year of release. The Porsche Boxster, from its original 986 version in 1996 to the current 987s, is purposely designed to be a road monster. The first Boxster S, with a larger motor and more powerful engine, was launched in 2000. These two versions of the Boxster never ceased to inspire sports car enthusiasts since their release into the market. The original Boxster released in 1996 has a 2.5-liter 6-cylinder engine with a maximum 201 horsepower capability. The engine was later enhanced to as much as 228hp for the standard Boxster in 2003 and 255hp engines for the Boxster S in 2005. Currently, the 2008 Porsche Boxster has a 245hp V6 engine, while the 2008 Boxster S model has a 295hp V6 engine. Porsche hinted that it will release either next year or in 2010 a newer version of the Boxster models with more powerful engines. The most distinguishing features of the latest versions of the Boxster are the enhanced engines that became even more powerful. The S version, for example, can do a performance of 60 miles per hour in less than 6 seconds. That means the car’s engine releases a lot of power. This performance was made possible due to the addition of a Motronic ME 7.8 engine technology that optimizes the Boxsters’ engines. When it comes to appearance, it is evident that the Boxster’s appearance is copied from the Porsche 550 Spyder and the Porsche Spyder and Speedster models, except the convertible top instead of a hardtop roof. Up to the present, this appearance has never been significantly altered. The new models still come out with the signature convertible top design. With its sleek design and powerful, impressive performance, the Porsche Boxster remains to be the car of choice among sports car enthusiasts and also Porsche Boxster leasing is in demand due to the fothcoming recession. The model will not fail in giving a head-turning experience when the owner drives the car down the city roads.<br/><br/><br/><br/></div>
