Greetings and Salutations,

As part of the ongoing 75th anniversary celebration, Porsche has debuted their newly revised crest. Some articles are referring to it as modernized.  The changes are subtle and the basic elements of the crest remain unchanged.  Porsche’s new crest and their press release can be read here.

In related anniversary news, Sewickley Porsche is hosting a 75th anniversary celebration, see additional information below.  There’s also news about the Black Ties & Tailpipes Gala in the announcements section.

Here’s to seeing you out there,

Hello ARPCA Members,

Porsche is planning a solution to “range anxiety” and charging those long charging times.  They are forecasting EV’s with an 800-mile range and 15-minute charging times in what they are calling the “medium term.”  The article gives a great overview of the changes they are hoping to make to current battery and charging technology.  It’s a good read and can be found here at carbuzz.

If you’d rather charge up your social batteries there are a number of ARPCA event’s all ready to go.  Details below.

Here’s to seeing you out there,

True to our weather lately, it ran the gamut in less than 24 hrs from clear skies and warm breezes along Lake Erie at Presque Isle, and then snow in the morning in Ellicottville, NY.

Greetings,

What do you buy for the Porsche enthusiast who has everything?  Well, if money is no object apparently you can buy a custom slot car set hidden under the body of a Porsche 917K. Don’t worry it’s not just some boring oval electric car track, it’s a miniature replica of Circuit de la Sarthe as seen in the Steve McQueen film Le Mans. You can check it out here on Jalopnik.com.   If toy cars are less your market, the PCA has announced a 75th anniversary Porsche auction (more information below.) You can also read up on the “Palmen Barnfind Collection” a recently uncovered trove of 230 classic cars going up for action.  I skimmed the list and only saw one Porsche but there are plenty of finds to appreciate.

If a trip to Atlanta or the Netherlands for car shopping isn’t in your plans.  There’s plenty to do closer to home details below.

Here’s to seeing you out there,

PTC Slates April Take-off – April 25th
From Arnold Palmer Airport Many of us remember the autobiographical Frank Sinatra anthem, “My Way,” penned by singer/song writer Paul Anka at Sinatra’s request, which in effect, marked the close of  Sinatra’s illustrious big band and solo recording career. On April 25, ARPCA’s Porsche Touring Crew plans to open the driving season “their way” with a drive and dine feast at DeNunzio’s Chop House and Sinatra Bar (www.denunziosrestaurant/latrobe).  The “Chairman’s” namesake eatery is a well-known destination throughout Westmoreland County offering great food seasoned with a birds-eye view of the main runway at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport.Click here to learn more

Greetings and Salutations.

In my continued search for interesting Porsche facts and news I bring you a collaboration that I couldn’t have forecast even with team of skilled prognosticators.  What could be so surprising?  How about Airstream trailers, yes that Airstream, the progenitors of fleets of sleek silver campers have teamed with Studio F. A. Porsche.  Together they have designed a minimalist yet full featured camper that clearly shows the best portions of its dual linage.  You can see the article and the concept art here.

If you’re not a “happy camper” or a camper in general we have a number of upcoming ARPCA activities no camping required, details below.

Here’s to seeing you out there,

It’s a bird, it’s a plan, it’s a work of art on wheels

Porsche celebrates 75th anniversary of the 356 with introduction of Vision 357 Concept.  A homage to first roadster bearing Porsche name.  It manages to be a love letter to past while at same time looking forward at what’s to come.  Bloomberg describes as shape a “…coupe body that looks part Panamera, part Nissan 350Z, and is built on a 718 Cayman GT4 RS platform.”  That’s an impressive profile.

I recommend checking out some of the press coverage at Bloomberg, Porsche’s Newsroom, and Autoweek.  It’s worth your time just to see pictures as really does live up to its name, Vision.

Hope to see you out there
