Porsche Updates

Not that I'm obsessed or anything (and any Porsche purchase is dependent on either winning the lottery, which is apparently up to some ridiculous amount again, or someone buying the company for many many millions of dollars, again, nothing to count on), but Prosche sort of almost nearly told someone sometime that they've got a DSG transmission on the way. This is the dual clutch speed shifting device similar to what's currently found in the Golf GTi and a couple of Audi's these days. Specifically designed for ridiculously fast and smooth changes, and with the ability to handle prodigious amounts of power, it sounds perfect if you're into that sort of thing. Personally, I'm a bit of a manual man myself, despite living in the land of the auto for the last (almost) 9 years.

In other news, Porsche also have created a mini site specifically for the new Targa models they announced recently. You can apparently get it here..

There's also a sexy new 911 GT3 RSR racing machine here - it's puretty
