Porsche 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S



The new 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera (model code 997) comes in two power versions with engines varying in size: the “basic" 911 Carrera displacing 3.6 litres and developing maximum output of 325 bhp, and the 911 Carrera S displacing 3.8 litres and with maximum output of 355 bhp. The new 3.8-litre flat-six develops its maximum torque of 400 Newton-metres (295 lb-ft), accelerating the Carrera S in 4.8 seconds from 0 – 100 km/h and ensuring a top speed of 293 km/h or 182 mph. To cope with the extra power and performance of the new Carrera S, both 911 Coupés now come with a new six-speed manual gearbox able to convey even higher torque while reducing weight and shortening gearshift travel. Tiptronic S with an optimised gearshift program and even better shift quality is available as an alternative to this new six-speed manual gearbox. With the emergency wheel so far fitted on the bulkhead now being dropped and the bulkhead crossbar redesigned, Porsche's engineers had the opportunity to consistently update and modify the shape and configuration of the luggage compartment, which capacity is up by 5 litres to 135 litres.
Rack-and-pinion steering with variable transmission ratio The new 911 Carrera comes for the first time with rack-and-pinion steering featuring a variable transmission ratio responding even more smoothly and precisely to the driver's commands and thus enhancing the car's agility particularly on winding roads and in sharp bends. Handling in town is improved above all in parking manoeuvres and when turning, thanks to the far more spontaneous response of the steering particularly in such a situation. Powerful body with a new waistline In its design, the new Porsche 911 consistently continues the existing model line with all its features. With evolutionary restyling from front to rear, the new 911 Carrera is however even more dynamic than before, although the 911 Carrera and the 911 Carrera S differ from one another on some fine but significant points. The wider track and the slimmer, more accentuated waistline, for example, make the new model even more powerful and athletic in its look – and, of course, a lot more powerful and athletic to drive. Further striking features of the car's evolutionary design are the new headlights with separate additional headlights in the front section, the fenders and wheel arches accentuated even more strongly than before and the new double-arm rearview mirrors. The new 911 Carrera comes on new, even larger light-alloy wheels:18-inch wheels in new five-spoke design and measuring 8J x 18 at the front and 10J x 18 at the rear are standard.
PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management is available as an option on the 911 Carrera and comes as standard on the 911 Carrera S. PASM combines two suspensions in one, a sporting and comfortable set-up for long distances and a very dynamic configuration for performance driving. Compared with the standard suspension of the Carrera, PASM suspension lowers the entire car by 10 millimetres or 0.39". The normal set-up provides a more comfortable damper setting changing gradually to a sporting mode as soon as the driver adopts a more dynamic style of motoring. Particularly on long trips on the motorway the car's occupants will enjoy a far higher standard of comfort, PASM absorbing minor and medium bumps on the surface much better and more smoothly than the standard suspension. By contrast, the sports set-up activates a harder damper control map for a very agile and dynamic style of motoring, the features and qualities thus provided being quite comparable to those of an all-out sports suspension. Minimisation of body roll ensures fast lap times confirmed by numerous measurements at the German race track Nuerrburgring, where the sporting set-up serves to cut an average of 5 seconds off lap times compared with the standard suspension and 20 seconds compared to the old 911 - well, at least if your name is Walter Roehrl, the legendary Porsche test driver.

Porsche Cayenne Vantage GTR2



Tuning firm, TOPCAR, is slowly becoming a major player in the aftermarket industry for their works with a number of Porsche, BMW, and Bentley models they have worked on in the past 6 years.
Recently, the Russian aftermarket company announced that they were in the process of presenting a new aerodynamic body kit for the Porsche Cayenne Vantage GTR 2, using the Cayenne 2 model as its base.
With the new body kit, TOPCAR remodeled the Porsche SUV by adding a bevy of items, including a front spoiler bumper, a new bonnet, wide fenders, a rear spoiler bumper, and a diffuser, thereby turning it into a menacing piece of Stuttgart savagery. Likewise, all these parts were carefully made using high-grade items like carbon Kevlar and carbon fiber. On top of that, an engine upgrade is also still in the works, one that will see the Porsche Cayenne receive a major bump in power from 550 horsepower to 750 horsepower. Full details behind the improvement on the powertrain have yet to be released so we’re going to hold off on that end.

In the meantime, Top Car is already preparing the first seven models for its first customers with a total of only 50 units being made to ensure exclusivity for all of its prospective owners.
