Porsche Driving Training Course
No commentsThere are certain luxury vehicle manufacturers that will require you to do a training course before you are allowed to purchase one of their vehicles. These cars are very powerful and could prove dangerous should they be driven by an inexperienced driver. Luckily for enthusiasts, Porsche does not fall under this category. Of course Porsches are very powerful cars themselves, and driving them takes some getting used to. This being said, they are still relatively easy to master, although they could still prove to be a driving challenge to some.
Porsche offers driving courses in almost every country! It is not compulsory that you take one of these courses when you purchase a Porsche, but it is recommended. Taking a Porsche driving course will allow you to familiarize yourself with your car, and how it reacts to different driving situations. The Porsche driving training course is also recommended to all sports car drivers, because the course specializes in operating a very fast and powerful car. The courses range from Pre-Level to Precision. Naturally the Pre-Level course is for beginners who want to get a handle on driving a sports car. The Precision course will help those experienced drivers be able to handle even the most tightest and dangerous of driving circumstances. The Porsche training courses even range into a specific driving course just for women, and one that specializes in off road driving. The Porsche Cayenne is usually the model that is used for the off road driving training course.
There is even an Ice Training Porsche driving course. This course teaches you how to handle driving your Porsche in winter conditions, with ice slicked roads and falling snow. Porsche has set up a -15 degree snow cover to practice on, under controlled conditions.
The greatest thing about these Porsche driving courses is that you do not need to own a Porsche to drive one! There are four different Porsche models available for hire that you can take for a spin around the track. If you do own your own Porsche, it is advised that you drive your own vehicle, as it is one that you are familiar with. Even if you don’t have a Porsche, you can still experience how it is to drive one, and you will be learning excellent driving skills that will certainly benefit you in the future. In order to participate in the course, and hire a Porsche, you will need to be at least 18 years of age and be a valid driver’s license holder.
There are partner hotels that work with Porsche near the tracks where the training courses take place. This is very convenient if you are only a tourist in the city where you will be taking your training course. These Porsche training courses are also a wonderful present, and can be purchased in gift voucher form.
So, if you are a proud Porsche owner, and hunger to take your driving skills to the next level, what better place to practice than with Porsche themselves? If not, and you simply desire to experience what it’s like to drive behind the wheel of a Porsche, then this may be your only opportunity. Not only will you enjoy yourself controlling such a beautiful, powerful vehicle, but you will also walk away with some very valuable driving skills.

Keeping Your Porsche In Immaculate Condition
No commentsYour beautiful Porsche is probably one of your most prized possessions, and also one of your most expensive. The best way to keep your Porsche looking like it was just driven out the showroom, is to know how to clean and maintain it properly. This will also benefit you in the future when you wish to trade it in or sell it for a newer model.
Firstly, there are certain Porsche colors that appear cleaner and sleeker than others. If you are the flashy type, you will probably enjoy a bright yellow or red Porsche. These colors are attractive and attention grabbing, and will also not show up the dirt so badly. Silver is always a popular color choice for Porsches, and can appear cleaner for longer when compared to black and white. A black or white Porsche is devastatingly gorgeous, but needs to be kept immaculately clean to look good all the time. Any little piece of dust or dirt will show up strongly against these two colors. Darker blues will also display dirt much more prominently.
Regardless of which color Porsche you have, you will need to keep it clean. Obviously with the colors that display the dirt more clearly, you will need to clean it more often. First of all you should concentrate on the body shell. There are official Porsche products which can be purchased for cleaning your car. These include shampoos, waxes and other cleaning materials. It is always best to clean your Porsche gently with a non-abrasive cloth. For waxing you will need a special waxing cloth. Most car accessories stores will sell these cleaning materials, under the Porsche brand or separately. Ensure that you are purchasing the right shampoo and wax for the color of your Porsche and its specific cleaning requirements.
It is best to wash your Porsche about once a week to ensure that it is kept shiny and beautiful. Dirt and grit can damage your exterior’s shell. Waxing is not necessary every time that you wash your Porsche, and can be done every two or three weeks. It is best to apply the wax overnight and leave it on, then the following morning shine the car to perfection! Don’t forget about your tires. Dirty tires can spoil the beauty of a clean Porsche. There are also special tire cleaning shampoos and polishes available. Depending on how dirty they get, your tires should be cleaned each time your Porsche gets a bath.
Now let’s talk about the interior. It is one of your favorite parts of your Porsche. All Porsches come standard with beautiful leather seats. Always ensure that you take the necessary precautions to prevent your leather seats from getting scratched or damaged. What you do in your Porsche is up to you, but try not to drink or eat whilst driving. Spillages of liquids could stain the leather, and be costly to repair. The same applies to smoking in your Porsche. You do not want wayward ash to burn a hole in the leather, nor do you want the car to have an unpleasant odor.
There are excellent dust sprays and leather treatment oils that you can purchase to keep the interior of your Porsche looking fresh and beautiful. It is imperative that you have floor mats in your Porsche to prevent the carpets from getting dirty and damaged. Dirt and grit from your shoes can be abrasive to the carpets, and ultimately expensive to replace. There are stunning Porsche floor mats on the market, available in every color and form to suit any taste.

Porsche Cayenne
No comments
Ten years ago, the idea of a Porsche sport utility vehicle would have seemed absurd. And the reason is not that it lacks experience with off-road cars since their engineering have developed all-wheel-drive military vehicles. It’s more that, compared to General Motors, Toyota or Daimler-Chrysler, the automotive giants, Porsche represents a tiny fraction of the production volume. For 50 years, the company has produced quick, nimble, small sports car, or in other words, the opposite of the SUV’s. When Porsche decided to invest in an SUV and a new factory to build it, it became clear the times, as well as our taste, have changed.
And now, after creating the most anticipated new Porsche in decades, the company is proud that its SUV is what many expected it would be: technically slick and remarkably fast, with on-road handling that belies its bulk. Also, the Cayenne delivers what most SUV buyers demand, including decent cargo space, more than enough capability for casual off-road use, and impressive towing capacity.
When it comes to pricing, Cayenne is a true Porsche. A very expensive Porsche. With tax and license, a loaded Cayenne Turbo can crack the $100,000 barrier, and that alone will knock it off most shopping lists. But for the connoisseurs, the Porsche Cayenne will be truly appreciated for its performance and driving satisfaction.

Porsche Cayenne - The Engine
No comments
With every new automobile, Porsche tried to redefine the meaning of performance, by creating a more powerful engine. Cayenne Turbo makes no exception to this rule. Like all Porsche engine, it is hand assembled and the twin turbo V8 rises to an exacting level of technical excellence.
Motronic ME7.1.1.is a system that controls the split-second precision of the Cayenne V8 and V6 super engine. This new highly intelligent engine management system balances impressive power with great smoothness. All this to prove that Cayenne’s “brain” matches its brawn. The Motronic system is built to monitor a wide range of sensors and engine components. It compares streams of data with corresponding sets of reference values, all this in a speed of milliseconds. Then, if it finds any differences, the system adjusts key engine functions, such as the ignition of fuel injection, based on this comparison. Into Motronic management are included other key systems, such as onboard diagnostics and cylinder-specific knock control, with automatic adaptation to any change in fuel quality. All this for optimal performance in all driving conditions.
This process is seamless and automatic so the engine has a great level of power and torque. Also, another great result is better fuel economy and lower emissions in the exhaust stream.
Another function of the Motronic system is the managing of air flowing into the engine to ensure maximum levels of performance. It does that by regulating boost pressure on the Cayenne Turbo.
The Cayenne model includes another system, the resonance induction system with a variable-length intake manifold. This is also an inventive engineering concept that uses pressure waves created by the inlet valves. It does this to increase the density of the incoming air, which, in the end, will increase the amount of energy released during combustion.
There are two intake tubes, and depending on the speed, the system will select one of them. The longer tube is used at lower speeds in order to maximize low-end torque. At around 4250 rpm, it switches to shorter Intake tube so that it maximizes power output with a more eager throttle response. The Porsche Cayenne engineers wanted to improve combustion for more power, better fuel economy, reduced emissions and less maintenance. To do so, they created a static high-voltage ignition system with separate ignition coils on each individual spark plug.
This is an advanced method that allows a longer spark-plug life. The sequential fuel injection system is equally advanced. A returnless fuel supply system serves each injector in order to continuously adjust the precise air/fuel mix. The result is of course a better environment, because it controls the emissions.

Porsche Cayenne Interior

Porsche offers three versions of the four-door Cayenne: the Cayenne, The Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo. The standard models of the Cayenne and Cayenne S come with features such as: 18-inch alloy wheels, stability control given by the Porsche Stability Management, leather seating, power seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and a 350-watt, 15-speaker Bose audio system. Since it’s a true Porsche, Cayenne’s ignition switch is on the dash’s left side. The gauge cluster is nearly perfect but the climate and radio controls are indecipherable cluster of buttons and knobs. The good thing is that the satellite steering wheel controls are standard which means that they will be easier to find. The Turbo model comes not only with additional power but also with more technical and luxury features.
Among those we can count: an adaptive suspension with automatic ride height and damping adjustment (Porsche Active Suspension Management), bi-HID headlights, a CD-based navigation system, heated seats front and rear, seat memory, sonar front/rear parking assist and power adjustment for the steering wheel. But the options the Cayenne offers are meant to increase functionality and personality.
These options are: four-zone climate control, bolstered sport seats, various wheel/tire upgrades and trailering preparation. With a maximum cargo capacity of 63 cubic feet, the Cayenne has slightly more capacity than the Range Rover but less than the Infiniti FX45.
