Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid Steering Wheel is packed with buttons

, May 10th 2011 Discuss [0]

Hybrid cars are all fine and good with increased efficiency and fuel economy. I am a auto enthusiast though and I really want performance more than I want efficiency. It was really cool to me to see sports cars start to turn up over the last year or so with hybrid systems in place that act sort of like the boost from video games to give the cars a burst of speed when needed. Porsche uses this sort of system on its awesome 911 GT3 R Hybrid racecar. Read The Full Story

Green Porsche Cayenne S hybrid gets federal tax credit

When it comes to green cars, a few names jump right to mind like Toyota with its Prius and GM with the Volt. One name that most of us don’t associate with green cars is Porsche. I tend to think of Porsche as a performance brand, and it is. The company is famous for its fleet of exotic and high-end performance vehicles like the 911 and others. Read The Full Story

It's a day full of fun, in the USA at least, so much of it I can barely contain my joy for it all! Two more Samsung Galaxy Tabs available, one from Costco, the other from Bell. LG announces a new phone by the name of APEX, and Giorgio Armani releases their very own Samsung Galaxy S. Then some sweet concepts: a Porsche phone, a hybrid AMOLED/E-Ink phone, a Mercedes-Benz Biome concept car grown in a nursery, and a solar powered umbrella. Evan's "Week with the HTC HD7" continues with "the Apps," Don decides on Vizio, and Phillip marks the recession of the Social Tide with one big delete button. All this and MORE on The Daily Slash!

Awesome Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid to go into production

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

I loves me some cars. When hybrids and EVs first started going mainstream and manufacturers started to embrace hybrid tech I worried that it might be the death bell for high-performance vehicles. Thankfully it turns out that hybrid tech lends itself pretty well to a performance car. Read The Full Story

So the features of this system aren’t all that and a box of rocks, but the design of the gadget is quit ingenious. First there are the 3 hollow dials that tune the radio, seek, and select input source. Read The Full Story

Porsche-designed Sagem P’9521 cellphone – hefty in build and price

, Oct 19th 2007 Discuss [0]

With my addiction to candy shoelaces I can't afford a pair of toffee shoes to go with them, never mind a Porsche, but that iconic brand name could be within even my reach once Sagem's P'9521 cellphone, designed by the car company, goes on sale.  Crave UK took to the wheel (metaphorically speaking) and came away reasonably impressed: the fingerprint reader beneath the screen also works as a handy scroll, there's a 3.2-megapixel camera and you can rotate the top section around to hold it in a more traditional camera fashion.   Read The Full Story

Sagem Porsche P9521 clamshell with rotating screen

, Oct 11th 2007 Discuss [2]

This phone looks kind of retro cool, but I don’t get where the Porsche name comes in. It has a 2.2-inch active-matrix organic LED touchscreen on the inside which is pretty cool. There is a 3.2MP cam built into the back of the phone, which appears to have either 2 LED lights or two flash bulbs or a combination of the two. The camera also has auto focus and digital zoom.
