Congratulations! 60 years of Porsche production in Zuffenhausen

Volkswagen takes 49.9 percent stake in Porsche AG
Last year everything pointed to a Volkswagen getting swallowed by a much smaller Porsche. Unfortunately for Porsche their plan did not go through as they ended up in huge debt, despite of the fact that they owned 51 percent of Volkswagen.
So the tables turned and the two companies are integrating. Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft yesterday finally took 49.9 percent stake in Porsche AG. The price for the stake is €3.9 billion and is based on the enterprise value for Porsche AG calculated under a careful due diligence and valuation procedure.

Mansory previews their tuning program for Porsche Panamera

Panamera is also lowered by 35 mm and equipped with new 21-inch wheels. New sport exhaust system was also added.
Renderings: Porsche Supercar Concept
Talented Iranian artist Emil Baddal has created a whole set of renderings of a Porsche Supercar Concept. If these renderings were by Porsche we would be talking about a successor to the Carrera GT that was produced between 2004-2006.
It does not really remind us any of the current Porsche’s, except its Panamera-style headlights. Rest of the car reminds us more of a Bugatti Veyron.
