Porsche cars today aresynonymous with the word "luxury". This German company really produces great cars - quality and fast, which have long been known around the world. In addition, Porsche is the most highly profitable among all the rest, producing cars. And in 2010, the Porsche cars were recognized as the most reliable in the world. Well, it is worth telling more about these cars.
Logotype
This company has been around for decades.produces luxury sports cars. Accordingly, the emblem of this concern should be appropriate. Well, so it really is. The Porsche car badge depicts an interesting and rather intricate coat of arms. Black and red stripes in combination with reindeer horns are the symbol of Baden-Württemberg - one of the lands of Germany, where the concern is located. The Porsche inscription together with a stallion prancing in the center of the sign is a reminder that the city of Stuttgart, which is native for the brand, was founded as a horse farm in the distant 950 year. Car brand “Porsche” has acquired a really interesting logo. Its author was Franz Reispisses Xavier, and for the first time the emblem appeared in 1952. Up to this point, the hood was decorated with the usual inscription Porsche.
The launch of the most luxurious models
To tell about absolutely all models is unreal.Therefore it is worth noting the brightest and most famous. You can start in 1996. Then the Porsche Boxter came out. Then this new compact sports car, which cost some more, was very warmly received by potential buyers. This model remained the most popular and purchased until 2003. Then he was ahead of the Porsche 955 Cayenne, which debuted a year earlier. And after the excitement was a bit asleep, all attention was riveted to another car.
Porsche 996 GT3 is the car that came outin the light from 1999 to 2004. And the improved version, which became known as the GT3 RS, was produced from 2003 to 2005. There was also a Turbo model. She let out five years, from 2000 to 2005 minutes. And in the last two years, versions such as the Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S appeared on the car market. They were special because a 450-horsepower engine thundered under the hood of these models.
Новенький GT2 был невероятно популярным by car. At first it was equipped with a motor for 462 horsepower, then - at 483. But nothing could compare with the modified German tuner Wimmer Racing model. The engine could develop 680 "horses", acceleration to a hundred was 3.4 seconds, and the maximum speed - 365 km / h. Not surprisingly, more than 10 million rubles are being asked for this car.
Sport utility SUV
That is how they called the car, which is knownlike Posche Carrera. SUV was released in 2002. Its manufacturers have developed together with Volkswagen. I must say that this car has become the most popular car brand. Atmospheric versions with V8 and V6 installed under the hood, as well as turbo S and Turbo turbochargers were released. After a certain modernization, the model range was expanded with the introduction of two new modifications, such as cars like the Turbo S and GTS, equipped with a 550 horse powertrain.
Many connoisseurs criticized this model for the fact thatIt has a lot of similarities with the Boxster car. So the concern decided to give Carrera a new light equipment, other wheels, bumpers and other nuances. It became easy to distinguish cars - they certainly looked different.
About the most famous sports crossover
This status rightfully belongs to suchcar like a Porsche Cayenne car. This is a five-seater sports crossover, on which the concern worked together with the developers of Volkswagen. Specialists of both companies have developed a new platform with a longitudinal location of the power unit, as well as a powerful monocoque with subframes and absolutely independent suspensions on all wheels. Plus, the opportunity to adjust the clearance. Engineers from Wolfsburg developed and assembled an all-wheel drive transmission, while Stuttgart specialists were responsible for handling, driving performance and suspension. The design was developed separately, and then from the outlined ideas came the machine that we can see today.
“Porsche Caen” - the car that turned outreally successful. Its driving performance perfectly show itself off-road due to a reliable and flexible suspension. Moreover, the platform turned out to be so successful that in 2005, Audi experts created their own now-famous SUV Q7.
Porsche Cayenne Modifications
Since this model is one of the mostpopular, it is worth to talk more about it. So, the car exists in ten (!) Modifications, and it is a lot. The weakest (if I may say so) develops a maximum speed of 214 km / h, and this is because it is a diesel version. Of the petrol, the most modest indicators in this respect are the Porsche Cayenne II (with a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a top speed of 230 km / h). The most powerful version is Turbo Sportivity - 4.8-liter, biturbo V8, 550 hp, which reaches a speed of 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds. And its maximum is 280 km / h.
But there are medium options. For example, S Transsyberia with a 4.8-liter V8 engine, with a capacity of 405 liters. with. and a maximum reaching 253 km / h.
Eco-friendly version
Porsche cars can work not only ongasoline or diesel. There are other versions that use electricity as fuel. This model is eRUF Stormster. This is a fully electric model of an SUV, as mentioned above (Porsche Cayenne). The development of a new version involved such a studio as RUF. Presented this car at the UN conference on climate change.
It would seem, can there really be a powerful car,which engine is ... electric? Can! This model is equipped with a 362-horsepower engine that is powered by lithium-ion batteries manufactured by Li-Tec Battery. They allow the car to travel 200 kilometers without recharging. But this is not interesting. You can recharge the Porsche (even it sounds amazing!) ... from an ordinary home outlet. Or at special electric stations. What is the difference? In two or three hours. If you charge the car from the usual outlet, it will take about 8 hours, in the second case, respectively, - 6-5.
To accelerate to a hundred kilometers, by carIt takes 10 seconds. And its maximum stops at 150 km / h. Well, this car doesn’t fit for distant wanderings, but for thrifty people who advocate ecology, it’s quite if they need a car that can only be driven to work, to a shop or to a nearby city.
Porsche Fastback
Talking about the brightest models of cars “Porsche”,It should be noted the attention of such a car as the Panamera. This is a sports fastback, belonging to the Gran Turismo class, equipped with a full (or rear) drive, as well as a front-engine layout.
Появился этот автомобиль в 2009 году.Its manufacturers decided to equip a completely new engine. To fit it, the developers flattened the crankcase pallets. A few more modified crank mechanism. Plus, reduced the weight of rotating parts and reduced friction. This all made the engine more economical. The maximum speed is 270 km / h, and acceleration to the “hundred” is carried out in 5.5 seconds. The motor also has a power of 416 horsepower. How much does a Porsche Panamera car cost? The question is interesting. Well, the basic version can be bought for 4,297,000 rubles, and the maximum will cost an amount of almost nine million. In general, an expensive car, to put it mildly. But worthy of attention.
Porsche spyder
Finally, talking about Porsche cars, it’s worthlight on such a model as the “Spider”. This car was released in 2013. It is known as the Porsche 918. And this is a stunning hybrid supercar. He is good both appearance and technical characteristics. Surprisingly, this car spends only 3.1 liters per 100 kilometers (according to official data).
Двигатель V8, 4,6-литровый, 608-сильный – разве Can it not impress? An electronic drive, a lithium-ion battery, and the powerful power unit of this car is running under the control of a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. And the brakes - they are made of carbon ceramics! The car accelerates to a hundred in 2.6 seconds, to 200 km / h - in 7.3, and to 300 km / h in 20.9 seconds! The maximum that this machine can reach is 345 km / h. On the electric drive alone, the model is capable of reaching a maximum of 150 k / h. In general, an incredible car. It is not surprising that its price is about 770,000 dollars (and this is only the basic cost).
