The Porsche brand has always been equated to petrol engines under the hoods of its stylish road machines. Never in its 60 year history run a car with a diesel engine. 
That is destined to change in February 2009 when it starts selling the Cayenne off-roader with diesel engines in Europe.
The opportunity of producing diesel engines came when Porsche took part in the operations of the Volkswagen Group, the latter being known as the biggest producer of modern diesel locomotives. Technologies from VW subordinates like Lamborghini and Audi also open a lot of possibilities.
The initiative was also taken in response to the changing tides of regulations in the European markets which are slowly opening to tax incentives for automobiles with diesel engines.

The Boxter S made its global debut during the November L.A. Auto Show. A recent test drive in the Willow Springs Race Track convinced car experts that the Boxter S is at its best when it comes to its purpose—be lightning fast on the road.
It flies. Not. But it is really quick powered by its 3.4L 9A1 engine that outputs 310 horsepower with a torque of 265 lb-ft. The automatic seven speed transmission paired with the engine brings the brute force to reality as you will notice how things along the track go a bit blurry.

This guy:
- Can’t drive.
- Has no common sense.
- Crashes his OWN car.
- Decides to switch into a GOLF. I mean why get into a GOLF? It’s SLOW!
- Makes us Porsche drivers look bad.
The GT3 is an awesome car — I love it — but these kind of drivers make me absolutely sick. If you get caught speeding: stop. Pay the fine. You drive a GT3, you can pay up. No biggie.
The cop car driver did good.

Porsche is about so much more than the track speed — so much more than just the looks –so much more than the Porsche logo… It’s about emotions, dreams of ambitious children and youngsters and the love of extraordinary engineering.
Enjoy this beautiful Porsche commercial…
