Seven new Porsche models reportedly due over next four years... could there be more?

It doesn't seem that long ago that Porsche was a two-car company. But since then, the German automaker has come out with the Cayenne and the Panamera, taking it into new territory – for better or worse.

VIDEO: Tuned Porsche 996 Turbo loses it at 224 MPH 14 days ago on Autoblog

The Joetwint Porsche 996 is scary fast. Twint scored a world record top speed of 231.4 mph in the Texas Mile, and at a recent run the Evolution Motorsports-tuned 911 managed to hit 224.711 mph, but it also had a bit of a spill. Hit the jump to watch video of the massively-boosted 996 take off ...

VIDEO: Porsche ad claims Panamera doesn't fall far from the family tree 21 days ago on Autoblog

At least two of us at Autoblog HQ are totally smitten by the Porsche Panamera, despite Stuttgart's decision to jack up the roof and graft a 911-like rump onto an otherwise attractive sedan. Design foibles aside, it goes like stink, comes with copious quantities of interior space and, by most ...

ENCO Exklusive Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo is angry about something 29 days ago on Autoblog

Or at least it looks that way. Maybe it's mad that the new BMW X6 M is stealing all the Porsche Cayenne's uber SUV thunder? Or maybe the Gladiator is mad 'cause ENCO Exklusive dressed up the "Zuffenhausen" Bull in a Bugatti-like two-tone (and silly looking) black and crimson paint job? ...

Remember the Porsche 914? Most Porschophiles do, although some choose to forget the mid-engined sportscar built from 1969 through 1976. But the four-cylinder model was something of a sales success for the German automaker, handily outpacing the firm's range-topping 911 series throughout its ...

eBay Find of the Day: Epic custom Chevy SSR thinks it's a Porsche GT3 1 month ago on Autoblog

If you like Porsche sportscars, may we suggest that you avert your eyes. Ironically, we'd still recommend the same if you aren't a fan of Stuttgart's Cayenne.

While we don't watch many of them, when we do get to see films from the region formerly known as Yugoslavia, we tend to like them. Case in point, check out Emir Kusterica's Underground.
