2014 Los Angeles Auto Show: Porsche

Nov 19, 2014,19:20 PM
 

Porsche.  One of my favorite brands.  


This year, they're focusing on the "GTS" brand of Porsche cars.  The GTS brand is usually a good value, offering a large amount of performance features that are normally a la carte options on normal Porsches, all integrated into a "GTS" moniker Porsche at a value price, often less than the cost of the options a la carte.  

LA AUTO SHOW 2014 is the world debut of the following cars:
1. 911 GTS.  Features 430 horsepower and is available in four variants; coupe or convertible, AWD or RWD.  This car features a 0-60 mile per hour time in 3.8 seconds.  It also features a sporty exhaust system; with computer controlled flaps to monitor the sound, making the car especially sonorous during heavy motoring.  
2. Cayenne GTS.  Bosting 440 horsepower, this is no soccer mom car.  It's a rocket mom car.  It also has the handling to take up the power; featuring an extremely capable sport suspension.  

It is also the special premiere debut of the new Porsche EXCLUSIVE Series of Cars - Panamera TURBO S Executive, Limited Edition of 100 cars worldwide.  This is a 570 horsepower, all wheel drive, car with a really cool fade to brown paint scheme on the doors.  Very nice.  The leather is supplied by Poltrona Frau (a la Ferrari and Maserati cars) and being from the house of leather, the leather is supple and exquisite.  

Enjoy the photos!

I actually like the BMW i8...

The BMW i8 is realistic in terms of price. And it is a similar car in concept to the Porsche 918. And it's at 1/8th of the price. And it looks almost as good as the Porsche. That i8 has concept car looks!

911 GTS for me. [nt]

The 964 is still alive in my heart, but this one is top. Powerful, sensual, and very inspired evocation of the original 911. Love it! Best, Nicolas

918 is indeed impressive. But alas, unattainable for me.

I know Porsche Fans miss the air-cooled era but I really think the current crop is one of the best yet, getting better with every passing year although this whole turbo charging and limiting the number naturally aspirated engines in the lineup trend is wo...
