Porsche Macan to get 370-horsepower turbo model?

Porsche Macan Sketch

Rumor has it Porsche may produce a performance version of the upcoming Macan. Autocar reports the German manufacturer is working on a Macan Turbo that may be good for as much as 370 horsepower thanks to an all-new twin-turbo V6 engine. The article suggests the 3.0-liter mill will borrow heavily from the 3.6-liter unit found in the base Panamera and Cayenne. That would mean the cylinders will be arranged in a 90-dergree V configuration. Torque output would likely be in the neighborhood of 400 pound-feet.

Autocar also hints that the vehicle will be available with either a seven-speed…

Porsche acquires Nardo high-speed test track

Porsche 918 prototype testing at Nardo

If Porsche wants to test out a new vehicle at speed - and you can usually bet that at any given time Porsche will be testing a new vehicle at speed - it's got miles and miles of Autobahn at which to do it. Not enough? There's the Nürburgring and all of its myriad turns and changes in surface. It's also got its own facilities at Weissach at its disposal. But considering the quantity (and, for fans of the company's products, quality) of Porsche's vehicles, even that's not enough. So what's a sportscar manufacturer…

1970 Porsche 917/LH makes rare trip from Porsche Museum to New York

1970 Porsche 917/LH

There have been a number of iconic racing liveries over the course of history - JPS and Gulf spring immediately to mind - and every historic racing fan has his or her favorite. But few are as downright awesome as Martini. The Italian vermouth label has sponsored everything from Lancias to Fords, but many of its very awesomest have been Porsches. Like this bitchin' 917/LH.

This long-tail version (Langheck in German) of the all-conquering 917 racer was fielded twice at Le Mans: once by Porsche Salzburg in 1970, and once by Martini Racing (which gave it its enduring paintjob) in 1971…

Ferdinand Alexander Porsche - designer of the 911 - dies at age 76

Ferdinand Alexander Porsche with early 911

Porsche has announced that Ferdinand Alexander Porsche - grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, son of Ferry Porsche and designer of the iconic 911 - passed away today, April 5, at the age of 76. He died in Salzburg, Austria of unknown causes.

It goes without saying that the 911 is the most important product in the history of Porsche, and it's a testament to Ferdinand Alexander's skill as a designer that his original shape has evolved so little since 1963 when it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The 911, though, isn't his only achievement. He was also reportedly…
