Porsche P'9522 Cellphone Lacks 3G, Has GPS For Navigating Your Porsche

Porsche has kicked out cellphones before: but none so capable as the upcoming P'9522. It's a butch but sweetly-minimal design flip phone, with a rotating screen, and it's just got its FCC pass so it should be on the way here soon. Among its many features, it sadly lacks 3G connectivity, but the rest—including on-board GPS—almost make up for that. More »

Sagem Porsche P'9521 Cellphone Looking Good in Amsterdam Grope Session

The Sagem Porsche P'9521 cellphone has resurfaced after its initial intro we showed you last June, and this time there are clean and sexy pics along with some first impressions from LetsGoMobile. The phone will be available sometime before Christmas exclusively at The Phone House for a Porsche-like price of €1200 ($1685). Egads, that would be a helluva Xmas present. The Amsterdam grope revealed a "tight, stylish design based on aluminum and glass," and the phone was said to have a "beautiful design." See for yourself. Even though it's thick and heavy, its spec list is otherwise fairly standard. But weeee-doggies, check out that cellphone porn. More »

The Porsche Phone: Look Ma, No Taste

Before you get all over-excited and think that the German carmaker is about to team up with Vertu, à la Ferrari, think again, because the Porsche people are far too cool to do that, preferring to redeploy their technology to the kitchen toward sleek toasters and kettles. More »

First Fearless Porsche Yacht

Porsche Design and Miami-based boat maker Fearless have teamed up to build a yacht that makes a 911 look like a tonka truck. And, it's a lot prettier than the other superboat we've been gawking at. The $300K fiberglass-hulled boat is 28-feet long, and powered strangely enough by a 525-hp Dodge Viper engine. (What, no 911 Turbo powerplant?) More »

Tech Intermission: Check Out the New Porsche!

Yup, figured I'd give you a quick break from all the tech to take a look-see at the brand new Porsche Cayman S, shown at the Greater LA Auto Show, which is also going on this week. So basically, the biggest geeks in the world are all over on the West Coast right now. The Cayman S is a 295-horsepower, two-seat coupe that is being marketed as a "bridge between the Boxster roadster and the 911 Carrera." No price yet, but would it really matter? More »

The Vertu Porsche Boxster Test

Vertu, maker of expensive phones, recently got some credibility handed to them it seems. The company is marketing their Ascent Motorsport Edition, which is an ultra-luxurious phone made with petroleum-resistant automotive leather inlaid with carbon fiber and Liquidmetal—you know, the stuff the future Terminator was made of. In short, it's strong. So Vertu claimed the phone could be run over by the very car it was based on: an F1 Porsche. So the New York Times called bull and got one of these phones and ran over that thing five times with a Porsche Boxster. Oh, no! What horrible things happened to the expensive Vertu phone, you ask?! Nothing. Nada. Not a scratch. Score one for Vertu. More »

F.A. Porsche Humidor

You know, for something like this, I don't even really have to try and make it sound exciting or whatever. It's a three-cigar pocket humidor from Porsche called "Robusto". That one line right there should do the trick for most people. If you're one of those finicky types who cares about details, then you should also know it's made from woven carbon fiber and cedar veneer, and is covered in multiple hand-applied layers of polyester varnish. There's also a two cigar version that goes by the uninspiring name of "Corona" and a one-cigar "Churchill". More »
