The Road As A Canvas

Recently the Porsche Club had their annual Club Race at Mosport track in Clarington.

I was on hand to help grid the cars so they could get each race going as quickly as possible. I had an absolute blast and met all sorts of interesting people. All of the cars were in order while the previous race was still in progress. Maximum track time for each of the driver.

There were professional race teams, prototype teams, semi-professional teams and Porsche owners who wanted to stretch their car’s legs a bit and have some fun.

The racing from all of the levels was equally good and it proved that talent pays off more than an expensive car. The overall winner was one of the older cars that attended. Of course, it is likely heavily modified for racing.

I took quite a few action shots and they came out pretty well. Take a look and leave a comment if you like any of them.

Get out you checkbooks because I know that everyone and their dog wants to get a hold of that amazing 918 Spyder that Porsche announced earlier this year in Geneva.

A quick recap, 500+ HP, 0-60 in only 3.2 seconds and it gets 78 MPG.

It can outrun Ferrari’s and outmilage a Prius. Oh, and it looks fantastic. Sounds like a great deal all around.

Before I tell you the price, let me remind what it looks like

Now that you are warmed up here you go.

Only $630,000 USD. Mere pocket change, right?

At that price and that fuel economy this car car should pay for itself in gas savings in about 83 years. At least that is how I am going to justify it. I will let you know how that works out.

It is a great car but it is also the most expensive road going model Porsche makes. Oh well, if someone reading this buys one, please let me know and maybe we can go for a spin.

I have always said that Porsche’s are cool, now a major magazine proves it.

According to 9 Magazine, Porsche has been voted the “Coolest” brand currently available in the US by Kelly Blue Book.

They are amazing cars to drive and if you have never tried one you owe it to yourself to try one.

Thus is a good place if you are looking for a good used Porsche 911S

According To Business Week, Porsche is planning to sell over 10,000 of their luxury cars in China in 2010.

In 2009 they sold over 9,000 cars which represents a good portion of the total sales of Porsche world wide. China is emerging as a very wealthy country.

Amazingly they mention that the Panamera costs $260,000 which is significantly more than the approx $100,000 USD it is here. Does anyone know where the extra cost comes from?

It can’t be shipping as it has to be shipped to North America as well. My guess it a tax imposed on the imported vehicle but I am hoping someone can confirm that.

If you are looking for your own Used Porsche Panamera for cheaper in North America, you are in luck. They are available for you.

According to AutoNewsCast, the 10,000th Porsche Panamera has left the factory in Leipzig and is heading to its happy new owner in Singapore.

The Panamera has been well recieved by customers but not initially by critics. Porsche plans to make up to 20,000 cars per year.

The all-wheel drive 4S model has proven to be the most popular choice with buyers.
