The German manufacturers have got into the swing of this with fleets of Audis, BMWs and Mercedes touting for business like it’s 2am outside a Berlin nightclub. So it was great to see BMW had managed to park up no less than seven of its heavily liveried cars – “Efficient Dynamics – 114 g/km” rig...

Party on at Porsche

Not at Porsche. The Porsche stand is the last bastion of excess, with a proper bar where you can get – gasp – alcoholic drinks. There are cakes. Lots and lots of sugary, calorie laden cakes. Heavens, there are even people smoking up here. Dan Links: Porsche at the Frankfurt show

Porsche Panamera

Porsche is proud of the launch control and we tried that in the 500hp Panamera Turbo. The picture shows my co-driver John Simister from the Independent as he is about to lift his foot off the brake and propelling us into oblivion.

So, Panamera, at last we meet…

Panamera: is it good Porsche (ie, GT3, Cayman S, Carrera 2) or bad Porsche (Cayenne, 911 Turbo Cabrio)? Well, the question will be answered very shortly because I’m here in Munich to drive it, a rendezvous with the Zugspitze - Germany’s tallest mountain apparently - via some derestricte...

Nissan and Porsche play nasty

But Porsche? It comes to something when the combination of Germany’s finest – namely a brand new 911 GT3 with Walter Rohrl at the wheel – posts a lap time with the disclaimer that it could have been faster but there was a bit of traffic… Maybe they’ve been hanging out in the Pistenklause too.

Opinion: 911 Turbo cabriolet: a curate’s egg?

I was loaned a Porsche Turbo Cabriolet Tiptronic for a couple of days, and had high expectations. I had previously driven a 997 S Coupe as an everyday car, and whilst it did everything extremely competently, from daily commute to a high speed drive to the south of France to track days at Cadwe...

Are Porsche gear change buttons still no good?

When the Turbo gets the reskin treatment it will be well back in the game – but...

Fiesta 'as good as Porsche' says Dan

No kidding, nothing I’ve driven this side of a Porsche Boxster has had such a perfectly weighted wheel, the subtle feedback gently keeping you informed as to what the front wheels were doing and the chassis eager and willing without ...
