Reviews:

Sir Mix-a-Lot, the rapper who famously praised big butts, must have been reading Porsche's mind. The new 911 Carrera 4 with all-wheel drive sports an extra 1.7 inches of rump. It's a fashion statement, an engineering solution, and an anticipation of customer enthusiasm for the wide-body look wrapped into two curvaceous Carreras. The fat rear fenders are standard on the C4, whether you opt for the 325-hp edition or the 355-hp S we had the joy of flinging down Monte Carlo Rally roads in the French Alps.

Facelifted 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo revealed

The facelifted 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo will be debuted at the Frankfurt motor show in September. Before that, Porsche has release some details.

The updated Porsche 911 Turbo has a new 3.8-liter direct-injected engine generating an output of 500 horsepower – up 20 horsepower on the outgoing model, mated to Porsche's 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission (optional). With that power, the 2010 911 Turbo will be the fastest accelerating AWD production Porsche in history. Top speed will reach to 194 mph, with a 0-60-mph time of 3.2 seconds.

If customers choose the optional PDK, then a 3-spoke steering wheel with gearshift paddles will be available, instead of the standard wheel with shift buttons.

Besides the more power, the new Turbo also gets significant improvements in fuel economy. The data is 11.4 liters/ 100 km. Furthermore, thanks to the tweaks to the all-wheel drive and Porsche Stability Management systems, the vehicle has also improved handling and agility. A new PTV (Porsche Torque Vectoring) is also available as an option.

Porshce hasn’t touched the exterior much. The mods limites to chrome headlight surrounds, restyled foglights and new wheel designs.

Both Coupe and Cabrio version will be on offer. Sales in Germany will start on November 21st, while next January in the U.S. Pricing will start from $132,800 for the Coupe and $143,800 for the Cabriolet.

Porsche 911-based Ruf Rt12 S

Nearly half a decade ago, Porsche-specialist tuner launched its 911 Turbo-based Rt 12, which was based on the 997 Porsche 911. The Rt12 managed to blitz even the massively fast Mercedes-Mclaren SLR '722' special edition in a sprint from 0-300km/h, making it one of the fastest production cars in the world. Now, Ruf has decided its time for a refresh. Dubbed as Ruf Rt12 S, this high performance sports car connects high end performance with complete road capability.

Under the hood, power comes from the refined biturbo boxer engine producing 685 hp and a maximal torque of 880 Nm. That’s 35 hp more than the standard Ruf Rt12.

For the exterior, a number of aerodynamic modifications have been made. The exterior is differentiated with the distinctive front and rear fascias, widened rear fenders that house air ducts, a carbon fiber rear spoiler, LED lighting, Ruf CTR 3 mirrors, and 19-inch alloy wheels.

Other upgrades include carbon ceramic brakes, a hydraulically-adjustable suspension system, a variety of custom seats, a new steering wheel and more. A new roll cage is also present to help improve handling.
The Ruf Rt12 S can optionally be delivered with rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive. However, the car is not cheap, price is set at close to €255,000 (approximately $362,570).

Porsche GT3 first gets new magnetic engine mounts from Delphi

A ground-breaking new powertrain mount - MR engine Mount, has been developed by Delphi Corporation. And the first car to get the new engine mounts is the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3.

The MR engine mount uses magneto rheological (MR) fluid that can change its dynamic rate in real time, the new MR Mount prevents the build-up of resonance in a system by maintaining control of the mounted mass across all appropriate frequencies.

The use of the Magneto engine mount in vehicles help to controll the noise and vibration of the powertrain, and more importantly, improve stability and traction, especially during 'transient torque events'. For instance, these Magneto engine mounts can automatically adjust their stiffness when the engine is initially started or when the transmission is shifted into Drive or Park.

In the case of the 911 GT3, Porsche expects these engine mounts to improve traction and stability during hard acceleration and cornering.

The new tech supersedes Delphi's previous solution of glycol-filled mounts. Those mounts could only be tuned to control a single main frequency, however, and didn't offer the dynamic capabilities of the MR mounts.

"This is the first technology that allows precise real-time management of the relevant frequencies created by an automotive powertrain, including the challenging low frequencies and higher amplitudes caused by transient torque events," says Delphi's MR Mount manager Timothy Schlangen.

"Vehicle manufacturers working closely with Delphi have been excited by the wide range of benefits that MR Mounts can bring and by the increasing list of ways they can improve performance, safety and refinement through vehicle-specific tuning."

The new mounts are good news for the industry, we expect to see future applications used in the industry as production and availability makes them more affordable, though high-torque applications like sportscars and luxury sedans are likely to be among the first adopters.
