If you are in need of a new vehicle to propel you into a new era of automobiles, consider a new or used Porsche. Founded in the 1930’s, Porsche has been building on its knowledge a passion for top quality vehicles for generations.

Particularly in recent years, Porsche has shown itself to be a first rate manufacturer for practical, modern cars. In a 2006 survey, the title of the most prestigious automobile brand went to Porsche. This just goes to show exactly what the buying public think of Porsche. This is a company that has managed to ride the waves of changing market conditions over the years and maintain a firm client base despite altering trends. Indeed this is never more evident when considering the claim that Porsche have the highest profit per unit sold, higher than any other car company in the world.

So what is it, on a practical level, that makes Porsche so attractive? Safety of course is always one of the most important features you can look for in a car. As well as this, also considered important are the aspects of the performance, including impressive speed with and elegance that comes from the style of its handling. Porsche are a brand that stand for agility, dynamism and flexibility. The engines are finely tuned to give the sort of quality one expects, shown in the compact high performance engines, capable of outstanding power. As well as these attractive characteristics, one of the best things Porsche is known for, both in its new and used models, is the environmentally friendly ethos. Over the past fifteen years, Porsche has been reducing its fuel consumption year on year, and the C02 emissions are down by 1.7 per cent annually. This is a very high rate of savings, and it goes hand in hand with the increased performance that we can see in these vehicles. Reduced weight too helps to make the cars more efficient as well as eco-friendly. Porsche is using all of the knowledge it has gathered over the generations alongside the technical advancements to make cars that are as practically and attractive as they can possibly be.

An example of how new technologies are helping Porsche make eco friendly cars is the VarioCam Plus. This is a system that combines two-stage lift on the inlet side with variable valve timing to give a clearer perspective on every detail. Smoother running, greater power and torque are the benefits, as well as fewer exhaust emissions and better fuel economy. Breaking it down, what the VarioCam Plus basically does is create two engines out of one. A series of electro-hydraulically switchable tappets help to make all operations smoother, and always the easy switching between the ‘two engines’ in response to inputs from the driver.

This is just one example of how Porsche is using the latest technologies in order to make their vehicles eco friendly, as well as efficient to run and practical for everyday use. Whether you are looking for a Porsche that is new or used, you will be getting a vehicle that is attractive in many different ways. Better for the environment also means better for you, so if you need a new car, Porsche is defiantly a company that is worth looking into.
