"Vehicle Options"

The Porsche Connoisseur will often relate that first and foremost Porsche is the unbridled joy of precision driving married to consummate active safety. Porsche is arguably the safest, most secure, and the most robust of vehicles. We believe they are the very best vehicles for touring and discovering the State of North Carolina, The Blue Ridge Mountains, The Western North Carolina High-Country, and the adjacent regions, which many believe equal or surpass the great touring circuits of Europe.

The Porsche Boxster
The Boxster design concept that was shown at The Detroit Auto Show was a direct expression of the original mid-engine Porsche roadster, the legendary 550 Spyder. In the mid-1950s, the Porsche 550 practically rewrote the rules of high performance, becoming one of the most successful racing cars of its time.

The Porsche Boxster S
The Boxster S shares Porsches boldly intelligent approach to sports car design. Within an open-top, two seater layout sits a mid-mounted, flat-six boxer engine, its low center of gravity helping to instill driving confidence through the corners.

The Porsche Cayman S
Porsche’s Finnish subcontractors, Valmet Automotive, recently received the Bronze Plant Quality Award from J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study 2006. The Cayman S was ranked best overall (together with Toyota Lexus LS 430) for having the fewest quality problems in the entire industry. The Cayman S was best in its category "Compact Premium Sporty Cars,” with the Porsche Boxster ranked third. And Porsche was awarded the highest initial quality of all automobile brands.- Don Vorderman - www.thetruthaboutcars.com

The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 TechArt
Beyond the stereotypes and surfaces, much like people, if Porsches are breathtaking outside, it is above all because the beauty emerges from within, from the heart. That beauty in Porsche is the result of unparalleled heritage, breeding, heart and art in automotive engineering. Porsche is kinetic art produced by automotive scientists bred, challenged and proven in endurance racing with a deep respect for their traditions, heritage and legacy. The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Is A Stunning Example of This Philosophy Materialized.

A while back, I was invited to speak to a local chapter of Porsche owners. I tried to explain the over-engineering that makes Porsche’s road cars so tough. For example, their engines and transmissions are built absurdly strong for their size. You will find more bearing area, big-ends and mains for each liter of displacement in a 911 engine than in any other engine in production today. It’s an obscure technical point, but a telling one; indicating Stuttgart’s commitment to combining mechanical strength, accessible performance and glorious precision. You simply can’t buy a more robust high performance automobile. - Don Vorderman - www.thetruthaboutcars.com

No other manufacturer aside from Ferrari has a heritage and legacy similar Porsche in touring, performance, and racing. No one besides Porsche has consistently built a better vehicle over the years, one as much fun, as actively and passively safe, as robust, as magical and mystifying, and one which has withstood the test of time in such a dignified and elegant manner. The Porsche Legend is unequalled. In fact one could reasonably advance that every Porsche is a classic the day it is built as approximately 70% of all Porsches ever produced since the company began production in 1948 are still in use.

There are plenty of independent surveys to back up this assertion. Porsche’s Finnish subcontractors, Valmet Automotive, recently received the Bronze Plant Quality Award from J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study 2006. The Cayman S was ranked best overall (together with Toyota Lexus LS 430) for having the fewest quality problems in the entire industry.
