Europe to SA in a Porsche Cayenne?
A South African couple in Austria is planning on returning home by driving their modified Porsche Cayenne to South Africa.
If you can’t fly, why not drive? With major airlines cancelling passenger air travel in an effort to curb the spread of Coronavirus, many people all over the world are now forced to stay put until the virus is contained. Despite all the disruption, a South African, Shane Oosthuizen along with his fiancé is devising a plan to drive from Austria to South Africa in a modified, offroad-ready first-generation Porsche Cayenne.
In an interview with Crazy About Porsche, Oosthuizen explains how he modified his Porsche Cayenne for the journey. Key modifications include a Front Runner roof rack for additional packing space (tent, jerry cans etc), lockable drawer system in the boot, full-size spare wheel and numerous PIAA rally lights for driving at night.

Porsche's $1,500 Retro Radio Means Old 911s Can Have OEM Touchscreens With CarPlay
Porsche’s going to sell factory-branded touchscreen infotainment systems in both single and double-DIN slot sizes for those of you with older P-cars who can’t live without Siri, Spotify, et al. for the duration of a drive. I bet Stuttgart sells every single one it can make.
The radio units are undeniably elegant, flowing smoothly with the timeless elements of Porsche’s cabin design and looking functional without betraying the look of their respective eras too much.
There are basically two versions: PCCM (stands for Porsche Classic Communication Management) which will essentially be for older cars and PCCM Plus that has more functionality for later models. It’s expounded on in Porsche’s press release:
Porsche’s listing the PCCM unit at 1,439.89 euros ($1,552.53) and the PCCM Plus one at 1,606.51 euros ($1732.18). I’m sure the moneyed hipster scum that’s co-opted the classic Porsche scene won’t hesitate to spend that in a second; in a few years, it’ll probably be harder to find an air-cooled 911 on Bring-A-Trailer with its original radio than one of these.

Porsche exec says ‘bigger displacement’ engines are on the horizon
The man responsible for Porsche’s 911 and 718 model ranges says upcoming emissions regulations in Europe will (somewhat surprisingly) result in the return of “bigger displacement” engines.
Frank-Steffen Walliser, vice-president for the Porsche 911 and 718 model lines, told Australian media during the presentation of the new 911 Targa that Euro 7 regulations scheduled to come into effect in 2026 would effectively put a limit on relative power per litre.
“In 2026, the next wave of regulations will come with EU7. This will be the worldwide toughest regulations considering emissions, especially in the spread between real driving emissions and what we see on the test benches,” Walliser said, according to motoring.com.au.
“We will see a big change because it means – for everybody – new engines and we will see bigger displacements coming back again. I expect 20 percent more displacement on average for these EU7-capable engines. A lot of manufacturers will jump from four to six, from six to eight [cylinders],” he revealed.
Walliser suggested the upcoming regulations were “counterproductive”.

‘I do not believe in an electric 911,’ says Porsche product boss.
Frank-Steffen Walliser, vice-president for the Porsche 911 and 718 model lines, says he does “not believe in an electric 911”.
Speaking to Autocar India, Walliser suggested a fully electric version of the Zuffenhausen-based firm’s iconic sportscar would not happen on his watch.
“If I am being honest, I do not believe in an electric 911. I think the car is too iconic to do so,” he said.
“When I started my job, then on the horizon, there was an idea of an electric 911. If that’s the first job I did, I would be killing this car, which will not happen.”
Walliser said he would “definitely fight for petrol engines as long as we could do that”.
