Here is the video from the Horrific Macedonian head on collision between the Techart Porsche 911 Turbo and Volkswagen Golf. Please Digg in order to support the cause of this almost covered up tragedy in Macedonia during the 2007 GUMBALL 3000.
Checkout these spy photos of the most likely early Porsche 911 998 test mule. The Porsche911 998 model is planned for delivery on 2011 so it’s still in it’s early development stage. These photos show extended wheel arches, indicating that the Porsche 998 will most likely have a wider track and potentially be bigger than the current Porsche 911 997.
Even though smoking hot Brooke Banx looks like a Playboy centerfold she is a shy young lady, and apparently softspoken.
Playboy status or not, she is smoking and comfortable behind the wheel of an AutoGallery Porsche 911 Turbo loaner with her platinum blond hair and a golden tan. Don’t forget to watch the end of the video where the car wash soap goddess should help you have sweet dreams.

Can you guess which car is 0.5 seconds faster around the track? UNREAL!
For some car companies, evolution involves making radical changes at regular intervals to their products in order to maintain their appeal. However, that’s not the way it works at Porsche, whose notoriously fast cars get updated at a notoriously glacial pace, at least in terms of style, even while sometimes major advancements occur under the skin.
This is without a doubt the cheaper alternative to buying the 997 and consists of an entirely new front spoiler bumper, two fenders with a racing fuel tank cap, plus an original Porsche parts kit including complete lighting units and headlamps (for vehicles with or without \223Litronic\224). At first sight, it is not possible to tell the 996 apart from the 997.
Porsche tuner Gemballa has released a new body kit and performance handling pack for the 997 911 Targa. To top off the new look, a set of sinister-looking 20-inch black racing rims are included as well as ‘Avalanche GTR 550 Targa’ badging both inside the car and on its rear.
Compared to the 911 Turbo, this 911 GT2 is recognizable by the missing fog-lights in the front bumper and the huge rear wing as well as a more modest looking front lip-spoiler. Built on the latest 997 platform, this Porsche 911 GT2 was not expected to exist by some industry sources.
The Porsche 911 997 BiTurbo is the newest tuning package by German tuner SKN. The SKN BiTurbo 997 tuning package comes in 3 stages. It’s a pretty sick package but doesn’t compare to the Roock Porsche 997 Turbo Pics with 600hp.
Here is a surprise from Germanys sports car maker Porsche. Caught in hot-weather testing in the US southwest are two nearly undisguised prototypes of a restyled Porsche 997 coupe and convertible. The prototypes have completely new headlamps with two lenses (current model has one) inside and a new front bumper. They also have new taillights of different shape and look and also a new rear bumper.

The highlight of my weekend was visiting EU Autowerks on Saturday April 5, 2008. Porche meetup in Toronto with a whack of Porsches just taken out of storage on the first beautiful day of spring.
The guys at SpeedART have obviously come to the decision that the latest performance variant of the 997 911, the Porsche GT2, is underpowered. They have taken it and rectified this small problem.
The Porsche 997 GT2 remains based on the 3.6 litre flat-6 engine, but now features twin variable geometry turbochargers, which generate 530 hp (395 kW) at 6500 rpm and 505 lb·ft (685 N·m) of torque from 2200 to 4500 rpm utilizing a 6-speed manual gearbox.
