2013 Porsche Cayenne Review
First introduced in 2003 to lukewarm applause, the Cayenne quickly silenced its critics by showing itself a serious performer. The popular Porsche is redesigned in and out, and there's even more to like. Four models are offered: Base, S, Turbo and S Hybrid. Base Cayennes feature a 3.6L V6 putting out 300 hp. The S uses a 4.8L that churns out 400 hp. The Turbo version utilizes the same 4.8L V8 allowing it to produce 500 hp. Porsche claims 060 mph from the Turbo in just 4.4 seconds, with a top end of 172 mph. Finally, a new gas-electric hybrid-Porsche's first-employs a 333-hp supercharged 3.0L V6 and a 47-hp battery-powered electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp. The Cayenne Hybrid can run on one or both of its powerplants for an even blend of power and fuel efficiency.

Walkaround
Interiors have been redesigned for 2011 as well, with attention to detail in typical Porsche fashion and a look and feel that fall in line with what you see in the Panamera sedan. All rear seats are split folding.Cayennes are suspended by a double wishbone setup in the front and a multilink rear axle, with front and rear stabilizers. All Cayennes offer all-wheel drive. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on the Base model, while a new 8-speed Tiptronic S automatic is standard on all others and available on the Base. Towing capacity maxes out at 5,952 pounds for the V6 and 7,716 pounds for all other models.The Cayenne comes with a lengthy standard equipment list. The Base offers power everything, heated mirrors, leather seating, 12-way electrically adjustable front seats with 4-way lumbar support, steering wheel audio controls, rain-sensing wipers, privacy glass, a premium stereo system, a power liftgate, universal garage door opener and auxiliary power outlets.S and Hybrid S models are equipped mostly the same, adding cruise control, a refrigerated glovebox and of course that V8 power. Turbo models include niceties such as aluminum interior trim and an Alcantara headliner, as well as Porsche Communications Management 3.0, which features a 6.5-inch color touchscreen display with integrated MP3, CD, DVD, and navigation. A 14-speaker Bose stereo is also standard in the Turbo.

Summary
Lots of optional equipment can be specified on the Cayenne, including special exterior paint, special 19-inch wheels, larger fuel tank, Lane Change Assist, the Walnut or Anthracite Birch Interior Package, Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Dynamic Light System, front and rear Park Assist, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and more.Standard safety features across the range include 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist and brake readiness, advanced airbags throughout the cabin, traction control and stability control.

2013 Porsche Panamera GTS Review
Porsche brings forth the 2013 Panamera GTS. Basically a sportier version of the current Panamera 4S, the $110,875 GTS will be the third most expensive derivative of Porsches sedan, after the $137,675 Turbo and $174,175 Turbo S.

Walkaround
Introduced at the Los Angeles auto show, the naturally aspirated GTS pulls its suspension and brake components from the Turboincluding the blown cars larger front rotorswhile its free-breathing 4.8-liter V-8 gets a revised intake and stouter valve springs. Redline is up 400 rpm, to 7100, and peak horsepower climbs 30, to 430. The engines noises are enhanced using a Sound Symposer similar to that on the new 911, with an acoustic tube and vibrating membrane that transmits intake snarl to the cabin via the A-pillar.Down low, the air suspension that is optional on base Panameras is included on the GTS, with firmer shock rates and a ride height that is dropped 0.4 inch. Both the standard 19-inch wheels and the optional 20s wear Michelin Pilot Sport summer rubber, and the rear wheels get 0.2-inch spacers to widen the track slightly. Visually, the changes include a front bumper from the SportDesign package available on other Panameras (one of the 10 million options on all Porsches) and the deployable three-element, four-position rear spoiler from the Turbo. Theres also some extra black body trim, and a new arrest-me-now red called Carmine joins the palette. In a first for the Panamera, Porsche says itll paint the car any bespoke color you can think of. 

Summary
Leather and Alcantara, the artificial mouse fur that is the universal code for sporty, are used throughout the interior. Sill plaques identify the model as a GTS, as does lettering embroidered on the seats. The Sport Chrono package is standard and adds a Sport Plus setting for suspension and powertrain settings, as well as a 5500-rpm clutch-drop launch-control function on the PDK seven-speed auto-manual transmission. Youll want to try that after the crossing guard leaves the intersection.

2012 Porsche Panamera Review
The Panamera fills the gap in Porsche's line between sports coupes and the Cayenne SUV, offering high speed touring for four in a comfortable and spacious package. It's especially wide at 76 inches, and its 195 inch length and 55.8 inch height make for plenty of interior space, and its rear hatch gives good access to its 15.7-cubic feet of storage space. Flop the seatbacks down, and there's room for 44.6 cubic feet of luggage.The center of the Panamera's body structure is steel, helping with rigidity, while the front frame sections, front double-wishbone suspension components, rear subframe and multilink suspension, hood, doors and hatch are aluminum, which reduces excess weight. In all, the base Panamera weighs in at just 3,880 pounds-well under the Maserati Quattroporte or Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG-and Porsche has made a point to reduce weight at extreme ends of the chassis to give excellent handling characteristics. 

Walkaround
Six models are available: base, S, Hybrid, Turbo and Turbo S. The hybrid is only available as rear-wheel drive and the Turbo models are only available as all-wheel drive.The base models are powered by a 300-hp 3.6L V6. The S and 4S are powered by Porsche's 32-valve 4.8L V8, which makes 400 horses and 369 pound-feet of torque. The new hybrid Panamera combines a 3.0L supercharged V6 and electric an electric motor to propel it. The Turbo makes 500 horses, which Porsche claims allows it to sprint to 60 in just 4 seconds flat on its way to a 188 mph top speed. The new-for-2012 Turbo S has the same engine, but tuned to produce 50 more horses and 37 more lb-feet of torque.All Panameras receive a 7-speed automatic, the only transmission available for 2012. All models also get a stop-start system, which stops the engine when the car comes to a complete stop to save fuel. Once the brake is released, the engine is automatically restarted. This system can be manually deactivated, if desired.An available air suspension system allows control of the car's spring rate with the flip of a switch, automatically lowering the car's ride height. Optional Dynamic Chassis Control de-couples the chassis' stabilizer bars when running in a straight line to increase ride quality, then automatically reengages them in the corners for increased control. Several levels are selectable with a switch mounted on the dash. Porsche also offers a ceramic brake upgrade (which reduces unsprung weight while also significantly improving braking performance. 

Summary
The Panamera's interior features a liberal use of woodgrain, leather and brushed aluminum. The louvers on the air vents, the sunvisors, the interior mirror and front and rear consoles all available in leather trim. 18-way adjustable leather front seats and 8-way adjustable rears are standard, as well as a host of power options.The Panamera is available for customization through Porsche's Exclusive & Tequipment service, offering an array of high-end options including a rear seat cooling box in the center console, which keeps drinks chilled and includes Porsche-crested glasses.Rear seat entertainment is also available, which includes dual 7-inch flatscreen monitors mounted in the front seats' headrests, as well as individual DVD players and cordless headphones. Each side comes with a USB interface as well as several AV inputs.

2012 Porsche Cayman Review
The 2012 Porsche Cayman is powered by a 265-horsepower, 2.9L horizontally opposed "flat" 6-cylinder engine while the Cayman S gets a 320-horsepower, 3.4L flat six. Both models of this mid-engine sports car now have a 6-speed manual gearbox standard, with a 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) automated dual-clutch transmission optional.The PDK transmission has an automatic mode or the driver can command shifts the steering-wheel selectors or with the shift lever itself. The transmission is overseen by a control system that coordinates very quick shifts from one gear to the next--faster than a driver could consistently achieve with a manual transmission. The Cayman can get to 60 mph in as little as 5.2 seconds, while the Cayman S and R can reach 60 in 4.6 seconds. The Cayman S can reach a top speed of 170. 

Walkaround
The fastest times are achieved with the PDK gearbox along with the Sport Chrono Package, which brings a sport mode allowing even more aggressive shifts. Both models of the Cayman--whether with the manual or PDK--get the Start-Off Assistant, which helps standing starts uphill. Launch Control, a mode that enables the fastest possible takeoffs from a standing start, comes with the Sport Chrono Package as well.Fuel economy is actually quite good for a sports car, with EPA estimates of up to 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway. Both engines were all-new last year and now include the VarioCam Plus system for variable valve lift and timing--essentially helping to extract more power while also saving fuel.The Cayman S gets larger tires, wheels and brakes in addition to the engine upgrade. Cayman S models get 18-inch wheels, but 19-inch rims are optional. Both models have no spare tire--just an emergency sealant system and compressor. 

Summary
The Cayman R is a special high-performance model that makes 10 more horsepower than the Cayman S using the same 3.4L 6-cylinder engine and weighs 121 lbs less. It can be outfitted with two Sport Chrono packages, special black trim and unique leather trim.Seating space is quite good in the Cayman with a good perch and decent visibility and cargo space is much better than in most sports cars; the Cayman has 5.3 cubic feet in its front trunk and 9.2 cubic feet in a separate rear trunk, altogether adding up to about the same as a mid-size sedan.Though the Cayman line comes quite well-equipped, with most of the features you'd expect to see in a luxury car, the taking a look at the extras is part of the fun when it comes to buying a Porsche. The options list on the Cayman is very long, allowing all sorts of special trims and appearance extras, including special carbon-fiber material, wood trims and leather upholstery. In addition to the Sport Chrono Package, a limited-slip rear differential, sport exhaust system, or the Porsche Active Suspension Management System (PASM) and lowered suspension might appeal to performance-minded customers.
