BlackBerry Porsche P’9981 Unveiled In Dubai

bbporsche

Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce you to the BlackBerry Porsche P’9981 — the ugliest BlackBerry I’ve seen in years.

Unveiled at RIM and Porsche Design’s Dubai event, the new BlackBerry Porsche is clad in equal parts stainless steel and leather. While the device’s shell has gotten quite the facelift, the internals aren’t a far cry from the standard: it sports a 1GHz processor, a… → Read More

Porsche’s Sport And Rennsport Bikes, For The Car-Loving Cyclist

porsche_t

We’ve already seen bikes from both Audi and McLaren in the last year, so I suppose it’s no surprise to see competition from Porsche. The German sport car giant has actually had a bike for quite a while now, but I believe the new Sport and Rennsport are their first attempts at road-going bikes rather than the mountain variety. → Read More

The Porsche Design Bobsled Is Here, Hope You Brought Your Credit Card

This isn’t Porsche Design’s entrance into the world of sleds. That happened back in 2008 with the $480 aluminum sled that loosk more like something that a crafty dad would make than something from one of the top design firms ever. This time Porsche Design cut the price, and by the look of it, increased both the function and ergonomics. And yes, we’re talking about a sled here… → Read More

Porsche Reaches One Million Facebook Fans, Will Carve Their Names Onto A Car

In what has to be a first, luxury auto manufacturer Porsche will be celebrating its one millionth Facebook fan by carving the names of fans who sign up through the social network onto a special (and probably very unattractive) Porsche model to be displayed in the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, Germany.

For most people (myself included) “Liking” that Porsche on Facebook is the closest we’re going to… → Read More

Porsche offering new li-ion battery for the new 911 and Boxster

So you know that old lead acid battery in your car? It’s time to think about replacing it with something new. It never occurred to me, but it makes sense – why not replace that old technology with something a bit more efficient? → Read More

Fanatec releases another Porsche steering wheel; this time a 911 GT3 RS

O.K. this is getting a little out of hand, Fanatec. I know you make fan paraphernalia but does the world really need a 911 Turbo, 911 Turbo S, 911 Carrera, and now a 911 GT3 RS steering wheels? Anyway, this Porsche steering wheel is like all the previously announced versions, just modeled after the high-performance 911 GT3 RS car. Fanatac is striving for realism here so both the brake… → Read More

In case you’re one of those douches that wear Porsche memorabilia and correct people on the proper punctuation of the German namesake, this racing wheel is for you, buddy. The Fantec-made Porsche 911 Carrera Racing Wheel works with both the PC and PS3. In case this wheel seems vaguely familiar, it seems Fantec makes these Porsche-branded wheels for each Porsche model as this one is for… → Read More

Porsche Shows Off Phone That May Not Really Exist

It looks like Porsche is branching out from its mainstream-fancy sports car production and into the cellphone game. In this man’s hand is the Porsche Design Mobile Phone P’9521, whose interface looks a hell of a lot like the Prada’s. It’s a flip phone, my least favorite kind, and I have no idea whether or not it’ll be released or how much Porsche would want to charge… → Read More
