| Did You Hear That 918 Drive By? Neither Did Anyone Else
|
Porsche recently took a 918 Spyder on a drive through London proper in the all electric mode. It's kind of eerie not hearing that
tell-tale Porsche exhaust note as people react to it on the streets. For us, it's the first time we've heard/seen an extended clip of the 918 driving on electric only and we enjoyed listening to Gordon Robertson explain more about the 918 Hybrid tech that makes this silent driving mode possible. |

Download This Porsche App Now
|
We stay on top of most of the Porsche apps that come out and review them if they seem worthy. For the most part, everything we see, other than a few directly from Porsche, are just junk. This latest FREE app from Autoweek is an exception. Originally meant to be released in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the 911, technical problems delayed its release until just last week. Fortunately, the app DIDN'T suffer as a
result. The title might be dated, but the content is "ever-green". Check out our review and see why we think you should download it today!
| Jeff Zwart, Romain Dumas and Vincent Beltois Explain What It Takes To Conquer Pikes Peak In A Porsche
|
Ray Shaffer of Brumos Porsche brought the video in this post to our attention. For some reason it's not getting a lot of attention on YouTube, probably because the channel it's on has such a small subscription
base. Regardless, it's worth a watch as it's MC'd by Jeff Zwart and includes insights from Romain Dumas (his 911 won the Time Attack class this year) and Vincent Beltoise (overall winner and the driver of Dumas' 911) and others on how to attack and win at Pikes Peak in a Porsche. Be sure to share this video with others if you enjoy it. Let's help spread the word!

If you're anything like me, when you imagine the lifestyle of Buddhist nuns in Thailand you probably wouldn't picture one to be driving a
Porsche to do their errands. However, that's exactly what one nun at Wat Tham Khwan Muagn in the Sawi district of Chmphon province has been doing. Even after being warned by the National Office of Buddhism, the nun explains that she wasn't doing anything wrong. Here's why.
| Listen To The Sound Of Porsche At The Goodwood Festival Of Spped 1 |
When I first got hooked on Porsches and motorsport, one of the biggest things that caught my attention was the sound. Then, the first time I went to the track you could hear the symphony of Porsches racing miles before you could even see them. I was hooked.
The video in this post features a nice little "song" that Porsche put together below featuring the sounds of Goodwood 2014.
