Porsche's New $1,700 Option: A Starter Battery
Yeah, it's significantly (22 pounds) lighter than its lead acid counterpart, but the trustworthy car geeks at Jalopnik insist there's no way this thing is worth the $1,700 upgrade price. The phrase "overpaid, insecure idiots" came into play. [Jalopnik] -

Lazy Porsche Demands Elevator Service
At first, the organizers of the Shanghai Motor Show probably thought Porsche was joking when they suggested holding a press conference for their Panamera sedan on the 94th floor of an office building. They weren't. More » -

Porsche's Futuristic Champagne Tower for Veuve Cliquot Is a Fridge by Any Other Name
If it weren't for my obnobvious headline, you'd all be wondering what the hell this is. Just 15 of these Champagne tower chillers, with room for a dozen magnums in individual, lit drawers, have been designed for Veuve Cliquot by Porsche Design. Want to see what it looks like open? More » -

Sagem Porsche P'9521 Hands On (Verdict: Nifty)
We're jealous. The guys at the Brit division of Crave got their greasy paws on that gorgeous Sagem Porsche P'9521 cellphone we showed you the other day. Making us feel even worse is the fact that they liked it a lot, writing in their dignified-sounding British way, "It's not just a piece of rubbish with a Porsche logo on it—it is in fact a rather nifty clamshell handset."

Porsche 911 PlayStation 3/PC Steering Wheel
It's not every day that an actual automaker creates a steering wheel for console gaming, so this Porsche 911 setup is especially awesome. It's a "fully licensed, to-spec reproduction," which means the wheel, the 6+1 gear sticks, and the wireless pedals are all as authentic as you're going to get in your living room. It's all wireless, has force feedback, an extra sequential gear stick, a 100-hour battery life, table clamps and works with your PS3 and PC, plus comes with a Porsche USB stick to show off to the (nerdy) ladies. Available later this year for $350. [Fanatec via Jalopnik]
