Porsche Unveils 981 Boxster January 11, 2012—Porsche has released the first photos of and information about the long awaited next generation Boxster. Although the North American Auto Show in Detroit is currently taking place, Porsche chose to slip the news in about the Boxster after unveilings at the show. Insiders point to a fear that with the 911 Cabriolet on display for the first time in the US in Detroit that Porsche did not want the Boxster, an arguably better looking convertible, stealing the show from its higher-priced sibling. The new 981 is touted as the most comprehensive generational change in the mid-engined roadster’s history, the Type 981 Boxster has a longer wheelbase and a wider track, is lighter, more fuel efficient and has electromechanical steering just like the new 991.
In addition to a new lightweight body, the Boxster chassis is said to have been completely... [Read More]
TPC Racing, we just finished up a record shattering 3.7L Cayman Turbo! When we finished putting the 3.4L Cayman Turbo back together that was originally in it, the owner of the car wanted more power and something that would stand up to constant abuse. After sitting down and discussing the options, the 3.7L was the way to go in order to take this project to the next level.
To do this, we had to tear down the engine to machine the block to transform it from a 3.4L to 3.7L. After machining the sleeves, the block was ready for TPC Racing custom forged pistons and connecting rods. By doing this, we were able to drop the compression from 11:1 to 10:1. This improves the torque in a huge way, making for huge torque while the boost comes in very smooth.
The owners initial goal was to reach 500 wheel horsepower. The first run we made without modifying the boost, we were able to put down 470WHP. Mike knew right then that... [Read More]

Cool, cloudy and very windy. Northwest Arkansas in the fall. The leaves have almost finished their fall turn, freezing nights are more the norm. People walking the streets are bundled up; a few hardy souls sporting tee shirts, the rest adapting to the change of season with more layers of clothing.
Friday was 11-11-11 and most every restaurant and gathering place was filled to the brim: weddings collided with festive gatherings. Saturday morning seemed quiet, the town recuperating from the festivities the night before, the pace up and down Main Street ambled along. But appearances can be deceiving, like the calm before the storm: the sudden wail of the all too familiar Porsche flat six announced the arrival of an annual event. Sleepy Eureka Springs was sleepy no longer: she was up, and like a caffeine-fueled jolt, wide awake as a steady stream of Porsches flashed past.
Browns, yellows, reds and oranges; these were not the colors of leaves shedding their... [Read More]

PDK - Porsche Doppelkupplung
(FAQ in Process)
Derived from motorsport, PDK, available for the 911 Turbo for the first time, achieves one thing above all else: it provides the perfect balance between uncompromisingly dynamic performance and exceptional levels of comfort. It’s purely about point of view. The driver’s especially.
The optional PDK with both manual and automatic modes enables extremely fast gear changes with no interruption in the power flow. For improved acceleration and significantly lower fuel consumption – without having to dispense with the advantages of an automatic.
The driver experiences a sportier, even more dynamic drive with more agility. Depending on driving style, gear changes range from exceptionally comfortable to exceptionally sporty.
Manual gear changes are performed using the PDK’s ergonomically designed gear lever or the switches on the steering wheel: nudge forwards to change up, pull back to change down. The logic behind the optional three-spoke sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles comes from motorsport: pull to the right to shift up, pull to the left to shift down.
PDK has been specially tuned to the characteristics of the new 911 Turbo models. It has seven gears at its disposal. Gears 1 to 6 have a sports ratio, with the top speed being reached in 6th gear. The 7th gear has a long ratio and helps to reduce fuel consumption even further.
PDK is essentially two half-gearboxes in one and thus requires two clutches – designed as a double wet clutch transmission.
This double clutch provides an alternating, non positive connection between the two half-gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts (input shaft 1 is nested inside the hollowed-out input shaft 2).
The flow of power from the engine is only ever transmitted through one half-gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear is preselected in the second half-gearbox. During a gear change, therefore, a conventional shift no longer takes place. Instead, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time. Gear changes can therefore take place within milliseconds.
Clutch 1 controls the first half-gearbox, which contains the odd gears (1, 3, 5, 7) and reverse. Clutch 2 controls the second, which contains the even gears (2, 4, 6).
The optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo with dynamic engine mount system provides PDK with two additional functions, ‘Launch Control’ and ‘motorsport-derived gearshift strategy’.
PDK – sporty, comfortable and efficient. Characteristics that have been given some thought elsewhere too: in the specification for the new 911 Turbo models.
