Top 5 Porsche spoilers
The wings and spoilers on Porsches were always meant to be functional. They're part of an entire system of aerodynamic grip, that works in conjunction with mechanical grip (suspension and tires) to allow your Porsche to go faster. To go faster you need power and a Porsche's engine produces plenty of that. However, there's a limit to how much power you can put to the ground without simply spinning your wheels. To combat this, you can either increase the weight of your Porsche (but that kind of defeats the purpose) or you can create "virtual" weight using the air that flows around your Porsche's body. That's where the wing comes in.

Matters of size
The image above is not retouched. It was made by Leonard Turner at Daytona during the third Rennsport Reunion. As the picture shows, even Porsche's race cars aren't immune to size changes over time.  Interestingly, these two particular race cars are closer in size than you would think.

​​​​​​​
PSDS Canada
Porsche Cars Canada has been on a tear for the last five years in terms of sales. In fact, as of December 2016 they had shown more than 60 months of consecutive growth, selling nearly 1,000 911s and more than 7,000 Porsches in total.

THIS IS THE MOST POWERFUL PANAMERA YET: INTRODUCING THE TURBO S E-HYBRID
​​​​​​​
panamera turbo s e hybrid
850Nm of torque: Just a few years ago that was a figure fit for a full-size, diesel pickup. Today that is just one figure which represents the new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. By combining the turbocharged 4.0l V8 from the Panamera Turbo with a hybrid system similar to that used in the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, Porsche has created the most powerful Panamera variant yet. This super sedan produces a combined 686 horsepower, and can reach 60MPH in just 3.2 seconds. Not bad for a Porsche which is capable of 81MPG.

 
 
HORRIFIC, FIERY CRASH CLAIMS 4 LIVES INCLUDING MOTHER AND CHILD
​​​​​​​
porsche crash greece rest area
A speeding, out-of-control Porsche came crashing into a parked car at a rest area in Greece this past weekend. The force of impact was so great that both cars exploded upon impact.  Tragically, a 33-year old mother and her 3-year old child were both killed in the crash, as were the driver and passenger of the Porsche.  The entire accident was caught on security video. And, while the video itself is not explicitly graphic, it is still very hard to watch knowing what happens to the innocent family and everyone else involved.
