  • Never Hibernate: Porsche Wants Owners to Drive Their Cars in The Winter Too

    Posted on October 5th, 2010 admin 2 comments

    Ah sports cars. So many upsides. So many downsides. If you live in Canada, we have an additional downside of having winter for about 5 months of the year which means if you own a true sports car, you likely need to store it for the snow months and drive a beater.

    Porsche doesn’t want you (Canadians specifically) to do that with their cars though. They’re encouraging you to use your Porsche all year round. It doesn’t matter what kind of Porsche you have, whether it be a Boxter or a Cayenne, Porsche insists it’s possible to drive it confidently in the snow.

    All you need is the right tires and the right training. So Porsche has officially launched its Camp4 Canada driving evets which teaches Canadians just how to reign your Porsche in by the horns in the snow. The three day event will take place in February in Quebec. The cost? $5,000. Yikes. Chances are, if you own a Porsche, five grand isn’t so bad however. Interested in signing up? Click here.

    I’ve always insisted that the best daily driver, if money was no object, is the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 S. Though I’m not sure that EVERY Porsche model would make a good daily driver, but thanks for attempting to prove me right Porsche.

    • [...] For you twitter tweeps FF does not mean “Follow Friday”, it’s actually the name of Ferrari’s new flagship. FF  stands for “Ferrari Four” which essentially indicates that this 612 Scaglietti replacement is a four seater. It also refers to the number of wheels that receive power. That’s right, this is Ferrari’s first venture into the all-wheel drive world. Being a Ferrari, lightness was still top priority so this new all-wheel drive system weighs half that of a typical all-wheel drive system. By the looks of things, Ferrari is going to sell the FF as being an all-weather daily driving Ferrari and may be taking from Porsche’s cues. [...]
