Porsche Pajun Begin Production Stage

Porsche bertekad melanjutkan proyek Pajun setelah melewati satu tahun penelitian dan perdebatan, demikian pernyataan sumber yang dikutip Autocar.

Porsche Pajun akan berada di bawah model Panamera dan akan menyaingi BMW Seri-5 dan Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Jika mendapat persetujuan dewan, Pajun akan datang ke pasar pada 2016.

Menurut rencana, Porsche akan menjual Pajun sebanyak 200.000 unit pertahun pada 2018. Baru-baru ini, bos desain Porsche Michael Mauer mengatakan kehadiran mobil kecil di bawah Panamera mungkin saja.

Pajun diharapkan memiliki lima pintu fastback seperti Panamera tapi juga mempertimbangkan sportwagon dan  coupe dua pintu.

Nama Pajun yang berasal dari Panamera Junior akan dibuat berdasarkan platform MSB VW Group generasi terbaru dan arsitektur penggerak roda belakang dan penggerak semua roda yang digunakan generasi Panamera dan semua model Bentley di masa depan.

Porsche akan memasukan Pajun ke segmen pasar mainstream atau segmen premium E yang didominasi Audi, BMW dan Mercedes-Benz.

Pasar itu menjanjikan margin keuntungan yang besar, hal itu yang membuat Maserati meluncurkan Ghibli terbaru seperti dikutip inautonews pada Rabu (26/12).

BMW Seri-5, Mercedes-Benz E-Class dan Audi A6 menguasai sekitar 70 persen dari penjualan global di sektor ini.

Carracter of the Porsche 911 Carrera

Irresistible appeal. This has always been a driving force in the development of the 911. There is nowhere better to experience it than during an involving Sunday drive in an open-top 911. This is why every 911 is also offered in Cabriolet form.

Technically, these models emulate the performance of their closed-top counterparts. With a 3.6-litre or 3.8-litre power unit and two or four-wheel drive, including Porsche Traction Management.

Offering uncompromising sports performance to 911 standards, no less.

The same applies where safety is concerned. All 911 models are equipped as standard with full-size driver’s and passenger’s airbags and the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP). On Cabriolet models, these are complemented by an effective roll-over protection system. A optional feature that has been introduced for open-top driving is seat ventilation – for those particularly hot days.

Incidentally, the 911 Cabriolet models are Cabriolets in the traditional sense: they have a fabric hood. This saves on weight in just the right place – for that low centre of gravity typical of a sportscar, and for reduced fuel consumption. Further refinements to provide that irresistible appeal, even in bad weather. Source

Design of the Porsche 911 Carrera

Every element fulfils a function. From this principle, the 911 draws its inner strength. The logical consequence of this is the 911 Carrera’s very low drag coefficient of 0.29.

The air intakes on the front end have been enlarged to provide increased cooling power and give an even more dynamic appearance.

Bi-xenon headlights are fitted as standard on all 911 models. The indicators and LED daytime running lights and position lights are harmoniously integrated into the separate front light units above the outer air intakes for an imposing look. The optional dynamic cornering lights have a swivelling module for the dipped beams – visible engineering for improved visibility.

As with the modified exterior mirrors which provide an even better rearward view.

The rear end, too, has undergone a restyling. The imposing LED taillights are drawn right into the wing and taper off to the outside. Unmistakable – especially at night. The stainless steel tailpipes, designed as twin tailpipes on the S model range, are integrated seamlessly. Another important aesthetic contribution is the wheel design. As standard, 911 Carrera models are fitted with 18-inch wheels and Carrera S models with 19-inch wheels.

Specific to the all-wheel drive variants is the 44 mm wider stance at the rear and the taillight strip, which, as a striking design feature, lends even more impact to the rear end.

In every respect, the design is unmistakably 911 – because its form follows function. And all the while it maintains its unique appeal. Source

Interior of the Porsche Cayenne Diesel

As on every Porsche, the interior of the Cayenne is designed around the driver, combining sporting style with the very highest standards of ergonomics, comfort and quality.

Particularly striking features include the way the centre console rises to meet the dashboard – clearly inspired by the Carrera GT. This immediately enhances the interior structure, a continuation of the car’s dynamic exterior lines. The seat position and sports steering wheel offer exceptional support and contact – for an even sportier ride.

A typical Porsche feature: the five round instruments form the familiar cluster and are slightly raised from the dashboard as a visual unit. The high-resolution 4.8-inch TFT colour screen displays information from the onboard computer or, in conjunction with PCM including navigation module, map data from the navigation system. It also shows the settings of the optional adaptive cruise control or gives various warnings, such as alerts from Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM), which is also available as an option. On the Cayenne S Hybrid, the display also provides information about the energy management.

Oil pressure, oil and coolant temperature as well as the fuel level are displayed using analogue gauges, while the boost pressure gauge on the Cayenne Turbo is digital. A compass display in the instrument cluster is available as an option in conjunction with PCM. This shows the four cardinal and four ordinal directions with degree increments as well as your current altitude.

The steering column offers manual height and reach adjustment (electrically adjustable on the Cayenne Turbo). The steering wheel rim is in smooth-finish leather. As is the optional SportDesign steering wheel with gearshift paddles – for genuine race-style gearshift action. Also available as an option, the multifunction steering wheel enables easy access to a range of functions including audio and telephone.

The car is ergonomically designed around the vehicle occupants for optimum comfort. Frequently used controls are grouped logically together on the centre console to enable you to select individual functions quickly and easily.

Other practical features include door storage compartments with bottle holders front and rear.

The rear seats provide manual fore/aft adjustment as well as backrest adjustment and a 40/20/40 split-folding facility, thereby increasing the storage capacity from 580 to 1,780 litres (depending on the model).

All Cayenne models are fitted with electric windows, front and rear, with door-lock open/close facility as well as climate control and remote central locking.

The interior features a range of quality materials available in various combinations and comes in a choice of interior colours and finishes offering sporting style and exclusivity. There are also a number of optional interior packages in a selection of woods or in aluminium or carbon – for a race-inspired look.Source

Exterior Design of the Cayenne Diesel Turbo

The front wheel arches are extremely well defined, while the ‘power-domed’ engine lid further underlines the sheer power and resolution within – this is particularly dominant on the Cayenne Turbo. Other distinguishing features include the visibly drawn-in flanks.

The sharper profile exudes eagerness and determination, which is further emphasised by the dynamic rear roof pillars and flowing coupé-like silhouette.

The rear wheel arches are typical of a sportscar, streamlined and muscular, while the contoured roof spoiler pays homage to the Carrera GT. Further proof of how harmoniously our performance concept has been integrated into our design philosophy – across the entire model range.

The tapered rear screen and streamlined rear section underline the flared wheel arches – for a typically distinctive rear view. Source

Character of The Cayenne Diesel

Boasting outstanding performance and efficiency, the Cayenne Diesel is ideal for longer journeys – offering high levels of torque, while fuel consumption remains low.

Its new 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine is now more powerful and refined, and approximately 20 kg lighter.* The unit generates 180 kW (245 hp) and maximum torque of 550 Nm. The sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) requires just 7.6 seconds. Top speed is 220 km/h (137 mph). Fuel con sumption now comes in at just 7.2 l/100 km (39.2 mpg) in the EU cycle.

Direct fuel injection comes courtesy of a common-rail injection system. The piezoelectric injectors now enable multiple injections at a pressure of up to 2,000 bar, ensuring optimum distribution of the air/fuel mixture – for improved dynamics.

The new turbocharger on the Cayenne Diesel features Variable Turbine Geometry. Combined with optimised channelling of the intake air, it enhances the charging effect, thereby generating a higher output and impressive torque, even at low engine speeds.

The standard eight-speed Tiptronic S includes gearshift controls on the steering wheel. Transmitting the high torque of the Cayenne Diesel smoothly and effectively, the eight gears are designed to facilitate both economical driving with low fuel consumption and performance driving with emphatic acceleration.

Porsche Traction Management (PTM) permanent all-wheel drive with self-locking centre differential transmits the car’s power to all four wheels with optimum precision and control.

Available as a no-cost option, the 100-litre fuel tank increases the range to well over 1,000 km (approx. 620 miles) while keeping the engine rpm and noise levels low.

The Cayenne Diesel: proof that a 100-metre sprinter can also run a marathon. Source

Porsche Panamera Exterior Design

From the distinctive proportions and lines. The wings are slightly higher than the bonnet and, at the rear, they are distinctly muscular and form the typical Porsche shoulder line. The silhouette of the Panamera models is therefore typically Porsche. The front, shoulders and rear all have instantly recognisable Porsche traits. A low, wide stance. A sleek roofline. Typically Porsche.

The most striking aspect of the rear is undoubtedly the spoiler which is integrated into the rear lid. The wheels are of classic sportscar design: fine-spoked, lightweight, and stylish. Sizes range from 18 inches to 20 inches, and all the wheels provide a good glimpse of the brake system. The colour palette offers no fewer than 16 exterior colours. An additional metallic colour – Agate Grey Metallic – is available for the Panamera Turbo S.

Porsche Panamera Caracter In detail

The distinguishing features of the Panamera and Panamera 4 are the 18-inch Panamera wheels, black brake calipers and twin single-tube tailpipes. The side windows have matt black borders.

In terms of performance, the Panamera and Panamera 4 are equipped with the 3.6-litre naturally aspirated V6 engine. On the Panamera, power is transmitted to the rear axle by a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) with Auto start/stop function is available as an option. On the Panamera 4, drive force is transmitted to the road by the active all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and by the 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) with Auto start/stop function, both of which are fitted as standard.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) or adaptive air suspension with PASM are available on request.
Also standard is Porsche Stability Management (PSM) which maintains stability even at the limits of dynamic driving performance, delivering better traction and increased safety.

Driving pleasure is simply inevitable.

Automatic climate control is standard. Three interior colours are available for the partial leather interior. The sports steering wheel, black dial faces and interior trims in high-gloss black add to the interior’s visual appeal.

Fitted as standard is the CDR-31 audio system with 7-inch colour touchscreen. The Panamera and Panamera 4 offer the best of both worlds: performance and practicality. Panamera/Panamera 4: Fuel consumption in (l/100 km) urban 16.4–12.7 • extra urban 7.8–6.9 • combined 11.3–9.3 • CO2 emissions 265–218 g/km

Porsche Boxster - The oil reservoir is located inside the engine

Integrated dry-sump lubrication guarantees a reliable oil supply while reducing engine temperatures, even in sportily driven cars. The oil reservoir is located inside the engine. Four oil pumps transport the oil from the cylinder heads directly into the oil sump.

Boxster Leightweight Construction

Porsche -Both Boxster models are equipped with alloy engines. The advantages are their low weight and reduced fuel consumption. Thanks to ingenious design down to the finest detail, it has been possible to reduce the weight of the new generation of engines even further, e.g. by fully integrating the camshaft bearings into the cylinder heads.

Porsche Boxster- the primary value is extreme performance

Here, the primary value is extreme performance. On the Boxster, the air intake grilles are finished in the exterior colour, whereas on the Boxster S they are contrasted in black.

At the front, the headlight design makes the Boxster models unmistakable – especially at night. Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights, including LED daytime running lights, are available on request. The headlight design emphasises the striking contour of the wing.

The dynamic presence of the Boxster models is further emphasised by the wheel design. The Boxster is fitted with 17-inch wheels as standard, the Boxster S with 18-inch wheels. Design and functionality are combined perfectly in the Boxster models.

High performance, lightweight construction, sporting agility, pure driving pleasure – these values are reflected in every detail.

The newly developed 2.9-litre sixcylinder Boxer engine delivers a power output of 188 kW (255 hp) at 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 290 Nm at between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm.

Integrated centrally below the rear panel is a new stainless steel tailpipe which produces the distinctive Boxster sound. The front brake discs have been enlarged for even better braking performance.

Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

So Porsche has come out with a new 911 model, internally code-named 991. Well, owning a sports car has never really made any sense. The car is longer, wider and lower than its predecessor. Key to the new look is the 100 mm longer wheelbase, which does indeed create more interior occupant space but, crucially, increases the 991’s stability at high speed. The new 7-speed manual, a world first and the PDK dual-clutch transmission now achieve a combined city and highway fuel consumption of 9.5 liters per 100 kms and 8.7 liters per 100 kms respectively, a level again usually reserved for b-segment cars.

More features usually found on hybrids and small cars for increased fuel saving measures include a new electric power-steering, which is significantly lighter than past hydraulic set-ups, but offers a very good amount of feel and ramp-up in effort as speeds increase feels very natural and organic.

The 3.4 produces 350 hp, up from 340 from the 997, and the Carrera S makes 400 hp, up from 385 from its predecessor, both engines revving to a racier 7,800 rpm redline and yet are very tractable at 2000 rpm in 7th gear to lug the Carrera and Carrera S around town at speeds of below 40 mph.
The most impressive feature that all future 991 owners will appreciate is the PTV and PTV + torque vectoring system, first seen on the luxurious Panamera 4-door sports limousine. In conjunction with the active hydraulic anti roll-bars and the Porsche Active Suspension Management or PSM, the PTV adjusts roll-stiffness by increasing hydraulic pressure on the outer wheel’s hydraulic roll bar when cornering hard and applying some brakes to the inner wheel to help the rear-end rotate. The technology was pioneered in the 997 GT3R Hybrid race cars on the infamous 24 Hour Nurbugring Endurance Race.
