Porsche Mania at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:40:36 +0000

Yes, the 2009 Porsche Cayman is inviting you in for a seat and a fast ride at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show, along with the hot new 2009 Boxster. Cayman offers the new dual clutch transmission, and can reach over 265 horse power from its 2.9 liter engine or 320 horse power with the 3.4 liter V6. This will get you 0 - 60 mph in just about 4.9 seconds. Speed and response time are no surprise coming from a Porsche, but the Cayman’s 25.8 miles per gallon rating is quite a shock to us all!

Porsche’s 2009 Boxster was also dropped at the LA Auto Show this week, to cameras flashing and guys going through midlife crisis drooling like dogs. Your Boxster will come with either a 2.9 liter pumping 255 horse power, or the Boxster S with a 3.4 liter for up to 310 horse power. Again, you have an amazing fuel economy of 26 miles per gallon. So now you can ride the streets in style while still being kind to mother earth.

Thanks to Teamspeed.com and World Car Fans for sneaking this excellent spy shot of the Porsche Panamera instrument panel. First and foremost, what’s with all those buttons? Is this a Porsche or the Mach 5? Maybe Porsche will be a new Bond car, or they are gearing up for a guest shot on the new Knight Rider. The steering wheel is also huge, but we will forgive it. Porsche probably stole it off the Cayenne.

If that doesn’t wet your appetite enough, we also snagged a quick spy video from Edmunds - featuring the Porsche Panamera cruising around a desert test track, right out of a Mad Max feature!
