Who knew that a burst tyre could virtually destroy the rear quarter of a Porsche Cayenne and set off all the air bags inside?

Shipping a Porsche to UK

Shipping a Porsche to the UK is relatively straightforward, you can import them with just £50 duty and then 20% VAT as they are classed as EC Returning vehicles. For IVA testing on the Porsche you need to ensure the headlights are e-marked with washers (if HID) – and that they can be adjusted to point the correct way. The rear light clusters also need to have e-marked fog light lenses.

For IVA testing the headlights, if HID, will require changing for UK units – we have good contacts for this to make it as cost effective as possible. On some of the GT3 RS’s we have imported they require new tyres as the previous tyres were too worn.

The ShipMyCar Team love the 918 Spyder Concept and Porsche have now topped this with the race bred version, the 918 RSR.

The 918 RSR will be powered by the same 911 GT3 R Hybrid so will have 563bhp from the 6.2V8 (which revs to 10,300rpm!) and the rest from two electric motors on the front wheels – total power 767bhp – there is also a boost button for up to 8 seconds of extra power from the stored braking energy silimar to KERS in a F1 car.

The interior is simply crazy:

The GT2 is already a very fast car, but this thing is even more extreme, the 911 GT2 RS produces 611bhp – yep, still all through the rear wheels – weighs 1,370kg and will go from standstill to 124mph in under ten seconds.

That’s 88bhp more powerful and 70kg lighter than the GT2. That’s 8bhp more than the Carrera GT. That’s a power-to-weight ratio of 435bhp per tonne.

0-60mph? 3.4 seconds – point-two quicker than the GT2. Top speed is 205mph.

Watch it being driven expertly around the Porsche Silverstone track just down the road from us at ShipMyCar Car Shipping

Porsche to collaborate with Bentley? https://www.shipmycar.co.uk/porsche-to-collaborate-with-bentley/ Fri, 26 Nov 2010 12:03:57 +0000 http://blog.shipmycar.co.uk/?p=108 Porsche and Bentley to collaborate?

The post Porsche to collaborate with Bentley? appeared first on Car Shipping and UK Import Specialists.

Porsche and Bentley are related under the Volkswagen Group umbrella, and a new rumor suggests that the two might become kissing cousins. Autocar had a chance to speak with Porsche CEO Matthias Müller, and the head honcho of the German sports car vehicle brand says that a collaboration with Bentley could help push future Panamera variants foward.

Per Müller, “I think we have to discuss with Bentley whether we can put together our performance, our engineers. It should be possible.”

He goes on to state that sticking to just a four-door sports car is boring. The Panamera should be revised into a handful of iterations, and Müller uses terms like “van”, “combi” and “longer.” If you are a Porsche loyalist, we’ll give you a minute to restart your heart.
