Porsche Cayenne

With a wealth of engineering adjustments beneath and visible updates to the physique and inside, this Porsche Cayenne facelift isn’t a kind of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it surgical procedures. The new LED matrix headlights are simple to identify (and, when you like, you may have high-definition ones at further value), whereas the brand new bumpers entrance and rear make for a contemporary, barely Macanish-looking widened grille, although with acquainted proportions behind it.

Technically, the headline change is the elimination from the Cayenne S of the two.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 that previously powered it, substituted for an overhauled model of the ‘EA825’ 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that Porsche first developed with technical associate Audi in 2017. 

That leaves the entry-level Cayenne and the Cayenne E-Hybrid as the one six-cylinder fashions nonetheless in a showroom line-up, which, for now, consists of 4 fashions (Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne E-Hybrid and Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, plus equal ‘coupés’). In time, we’ll see a Turbo, a GTS and a V8-powered Cayenne S E-Hybrid as nicely, the PHEVs set to account for greater than three-quarters of the UK gross sales combine between them.

We gained’t see a return of the range-topping Cayenne Turbo GT, which is being reserved for markets, shall we embrace, much less carbon-emissions-punitive than the European Union and the UK. Go for the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid as a substitute, nonetheless, and you should buy a GT package deal that makes your automotive look, journey and deal with as very like the range-topping poster baby as doable. Meantime, ‘making do’ with solely 730bhp shouldn’t be an excessive amount of of a chore.

Below that range-topping PHEV, there shall be two additional electrified fashions. The cheaper Cayenne E-Hybrid makes use of an overhauled V6 and a 174bhp electrical motor, solely now there’s an even bigger battery to provide the juice. As such, electric-only vary jumps to a useful 46 miles, dropping it into the 8% benefit-in-kind tax bracket. It’s a well timed riposte to the Range Rover Sport’s firm automotive attraction. The unhealthy information? Kerb weight shoots up by 370kg over the bottom Cayenne.

And above that automotive will shortly come a Cayenne S E-Hybrid, utilizing the identical battery and motor know-how however delivering a V8-engined electrified possibility for lower than the Turbo E-Hybrid’s £130k-plus worth. 

Outside of the engine bay, Porsche is continuous with metal coil suspension for lower-range Cayennes, with height-adjustable air springs optionally available on some and customary on others. New double-valved adaptive dampers (on which compression and rebound will be adjusted independently of one another) characteristic on all fashions, with entrance wheel and tyre measurement having modified barely too – each, says Porsche, to the advance of the automotive’s rolling refinement.

Four-wheel drive is customary on the Cayenne, downstream of an eight-speed torque-converter gearbox. Mechanical torque vectoring, four-wheel steering and energetic anti-roll bars, in the meantime, are optionally available on most fashions.

  2. Check that both your iOS device and the target device are turned on and within close proximity of each other (around 20 to 30 feet). Obstacles like walls or furniture may affect the signal strength.
  3. Ensure that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  4. Check for any software or firmware updates on both devices and install the latest version if available.
  5. Restart your devices if you’re unsure about the issue.

BMW ART MAKERS: INSOLARE by artist Eva Nielsen and curator Marianne Derrien at Paris Photo 2023. BMW France is the official partner of the fair and presents this year’s winning project.

  • The BMW ART MAKERS program supports an artist-curator duo each year in creating an experimental visual arts project.
  • The winners of 2023, Eva Nielsen and Marianne Derrien, present their project INSOLARE.
  • Eva Nielsen was selected by Fiona Rogers, curator of the Elles x Paris Photo program, which promotes women photographers, launched by the French Ministry of Culture.
  • BMW France, a partner of Paris Photo and the VIP program for 21 years, provides the fair with a fleet of electric cars for transportation.
  • The BMW ART MAKERS program goes beyond by considering the impact of the territory on the exhibition, with an exploration of human activity’s impact on landscapes and a recyclable scenography, aligning with BMW Group’s environmental and circular strategy.

Paris. BMW Group has been a major supporter of culture for fifty years, contributing to the arts and knowledge dissemination through partnerships like the long-standing one with Paris Photo. BMW France supports the VIP program and provides a fleet of electric cars for transportation. The BMW ART MAKERS program supports an artistic project and exhibition curated by an artist-curator duo each year.

The INSOLARE exhibition presented by the BMW ART MAKERS winning duo.
The INSOLARE project is a collaboration between artist Eva Nielsen and curator Marianne Derrien specifically conceived for Rencontres d’Arles and Paris Photo, in which BMW is an official partner. Their poetic and scientific approach questions time and the changes in urban and Camargue landscapes. The project highlights the environmental changes leading to the disappearance of certain urban, industrial, and natural landscapes, constantly raising concerns about the human impact.

Eva Nielsen focuses on geographical and geological changes, a subject rarely explored by women artists. She took numerous photographs during her visits to the Camargue, which were then printed on curtains and transparent paper and re-photographed, superimposed on new samples from the Camargue. Through this process and the use of various materials and media such as photography, silkscreen, painting, veils, and fabrics, the images are overlaid and hybridized, creating a form of transfiguration. Nielsen sees her work as a topographer, bringing forth a “state of awareness” regarding the reality of a territory, its architecture, and environment. INSOLARE reflects the changing urban and industrial landscape of the Camargue.

Marianne Derrien, the winning curator, explains that in INSOLARE, Eva Nielsen explores climatic and geological phenomena that resurface as spectres of rural and industrial reality. Her road trip routes intersect with the territories leading to Arles, where the Camargue begins. The artist creates visual confusion, interweaving photography, silkscreen, and painting. Instead of official cartography, her subjective geography unfolds through the paths she takes. The accumulation of these solar and liquid landscapes forms a horizon of experience, where the feminine perspective connects the body and water. Nielsen and Derrien have designed a scenography that minimizes the project’s environmental impact.

Reusable and recyclable scenography
The scenography aims to address environmental and cultural heritage preservation. Aligned with BMW Group’s circular strategy, the exhibition aims to minimize the production and use of materials. Self-supporting metal structures have replaced traditional picture rails and are designed for reuse at the Paris Photo edition in November after Rencontres d’Arles.

“The BMW ART MAKERS program reflects BMW Group’s commitment to culture and society. From concept to exhibition, the INSOLARE project intertwines territory, ecology, and a feminine perspective, offering an original vision of the Camargue. The project’s reusable scenography echoes BMW Group’s environmental and circular strategy,” comments Maryse Bataillard, Head of Corporate Communications and CSR BMW Group France.

According to Florence Bourgeois, Director of Paris Photo, their 21-year partnership with BMW demonstrates strong support for artists. The BMW ART MAKERS sponsorship program provides remarkable support for creativity by showcasing an artist-curator duo each year. They are proud to feature the INSOLARE project by Eva Nielsen and Marianne Derrien at the 26th edition of Paris Photo, held at the Grand Palais Ephémère from November 9 to 12, 2023.

See Custom Porsche 911 GT3 Get Removable Paint That Peels Off Like A Wrap

Car enthusiasts often use vinyl vehicle wraps to change the appearance of their cars. While wraps offer various visual options, they do not provide the same look and texture as actual paint. However, Logic has come up with a solution that offers easily removable paint without damaging the original color of the car.

In a recent video from the Mr JWW YouTube channel, a 991.2-generation Porsche 911 GT3 receives a stunning coat of San Marino Blue paint using Logic’s removable paint. This paint is not a wrap but a self-healing, scratch-resistant flexible ceramic lacquer. It acts as a clear coat that protects the car’s original paintwork and can be easily removed without causing any harm.

Logic offers a range of bespoke colors and treatments for customers, including pinstripes, coach lines, body stripes, and matte or satin finishes. The paint is also compatible with standard car care products and can be polished and ceramic coated.

Logic, based in the UK, has access to decades of color codes from almost every car brand in the world. They can even source paints used by Ferrari, Porsche, Ford, and other manufacturers through their suppliers. When the owner decides to change the color, Logic can peel off the removable paint without damaging the original finish underneath.

In addition to the custom paint job, Mr JWW’s 991.2-generation 911 GT3 features other modifications such as a custom JCR Porsche exhaust, new wheels, caliper paint that matches the orange cabin, a carbon-fiber GT3 RS hood, and a ducktail wing. The interior has custom seat brakes, blue-tinted carbon-fiber trim from Logic, and new upholstery.

The car is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine, producing 493 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. The coupe is available with either a six-speed manual or an automatic transmission, with the manual achieving a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds and the automatic doing it in 3.2 seconds.

Despite the numerous customization options available, it’s interesting to note that the majority of car buyers still prefer white, black, silver, and gray vehicles. These colors accounted for over 75 percent of all cars on the road in the US. Blue and red make up just over 19 percent of the remaining quarter of car colors.
