“This past summer, Porsche Classic began restoring a 1973 US version 911 T Coupé on behalf of the Porsche Club of America (PCA) under the motto “Revive the Passion”. The finished gem will be raffled off among PCA members and is to be publicly presented to the winner at the Porsche Parade in the USA in August 2011.” (autoblog)

Fubiz delivers some wonderful photos showing the internal buildout of the Rollende Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. The Porsche Museum took more than three years and 100 million euros to complete. The cars and displays with constantly evolve to give the visitor a new look into the dynamic history of the automaker.

Has it been that long? Porsche celebrates 60 years of business on US shores way back in 195 when the first one rolled onto the streets of New York. “From the beginning, Dr. Ferry Porsche saw the limitations of selling his 356 sports car in the Western European markets. He knew in order to sustain and grow his dream, Porsche would have to export its products to larger, more affluent markets like the United States, which had been virtually untouched by World War II.” While we’re on the topic, I have a close friend who has totaled more Porsches than you can count on two fingers. He, for one, is still buying them. Why? Nothing drives like a Porsche.

The Porsche Cayman S automobile is indeed a sports car. Some has described it as a hybrid between the Boxter and the Carrera. We think its simply a hybrid of excellent design. How’s the power? As expected. Technical specs from Porsche.

“The 2.7-liter engine in the new Cayman generates 245 horsepower, while 201 lb.-ft. of torque arrives at just 4600 rpm and stays with you to 6000 rpm. The Cayman S is armed with 3.4 liters of total swept volume and a maximum of 295 horsepower at 6250 rpm.  Maximum torque is 251 lb.-ft. at 4400 rpm.” One true banger and available in my favorite shade of green.

Celebration of contemporary design in museums goes far beyond architecture and the decorative arts these days. In Cincinnati, this expansion has brought a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT to the exhibition rooms of the wonderful Cincinnati Art Museum.The display of the roadster complements the recent addition to the collectionof a blade from an air plane turban devised by GE AVIATION. Both this exhibition and the new collection piece help to push the museums forays into industrial design. 

Bonhams & Butterfields is hosting a sale of exceptional motor cars on August 15th.Among the many grand lots, this Porsche driven by Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans will go on the block. Estimated to sell for 2million, the car is a 1969/70 Porsche Spyder. Quite the auto, and certainly enough to make Jeremy Clarkson jealous. Thanks to Retro to go for the heads up.
