Porsche special edition Maria Sharapova Panamera GTS

Porsche special edition Maria Sharapova Panamera GTSAs the Sochi Olympic Games kicked off Friday in Russia, tennis champion Maria Sharapova wasn’t simply there for the torch-lighting ceremony. She took delivery of a very special 2014 Porsche Panamera GTS to demonstrate how far Porsche goes to satisfy its high-end customers.  Given that sport competition is a central theme in her life, Maria Sharapova went with the most athletic of the 2014 Porsche Panamera range, the GTS, which she chose to have painted white.

Special edition Maria Sharapova Panamera GTS – touches include black gloss trim used for the headlight surrounds, wheels and window trim. Sharapova also chose to have the taillights tinted and black tail pipes added to the car’s sports exhaust system.

The instrument dials have also been painted to match the body and the headrests embossed with the Porsche crest. The final touch is a set of carbon door sills with Sharapova’s name emblazoned on them.

The Maria Sharapova’s Porsche Panamera GTS was introduced for the 2013 model year and comes with a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V-8 good for 440 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It needs just 4.5 seconds to sprint to 60 mph and will hit a top speed of 178 mph.

Off the tennis court, Sharapova has dabbled in product design — “full collections of luxury accessories, apparel, and even candy,” according to Porsche — and adding this Panamera GTS is an unexpected addition to that list.

“I never thought I would have the opportunity to add a car — especially a Porsche — to that repertoire,” she said. “Creating and specifying a very personal Porsche Panamera was such an exciting undertaking. It opens the door to a whole new design sensibility and allowed me to bring my own personal aesthetic.”

When she was signed last year, Porsche CEO Matthias Muller said Sharapova was “the perfect choice” to represent Porsche since she “combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power.” Other automakers, especially Audi, pay similar celebrities to drive their cars and smile for the cameras at big events like the Sochi Olympics.

In April last year, Porsche struck a deal with Sharapova to make the 26-year-old Russian superstar athlete the automaker’s first-ever brand ambassador. She then helped introduce Porsche’s all-new small SUV, the 2015 Macan, at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

Pope Benedict XVI visited one of the Porsche dealers in Europe

  • Pope Benedict XVI Resigns
  • Porsche dealers – Porsche center Riga

Porsche center Riga and Pope Benedict XVI

In a sudden announcement that caught Catholics around the world off guard, Pope Benedict XVI said he will resign at the end of February, becoming the first pontiff to step down in nearly 600 years.

We just received news that some days before this announcement Pope Benedict XVI visited one of the Porsche dealers in Europe – Porsche center Riga

In a meeting with Sales Manager Pope Benedict XVI revealed that it’s not easy to choose between new Porsche 911 and Porsche Panamera. Pope noticed that is not a money issue, because porsche prices for both models are practically the same.

Later, during a visit in Porsche center Riga, Pope Benedict XVI told that owning a Porsche is an ancient dream for him, but his position does not allow it in the past.

Porsche dealer employee used the unique opportunity to ask what Pope thinks about speeding to which Benedikt XVI replied that in principle he is against the fast driving, but speeding with Porsche is little different and God knows it.

Let’s wish Pope Benedict XVI good health and courage to make the right choice between all Porsche models.

Lindsay Lohan unscratched after Porsche Crash :Celebrity Car

Celebrity Car: Porsche couldn’t have had a better round of publicity today than Lindsay Lohan’s Porsche crash on Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica, Calif. Despite a lot of damage to the car, she not only walked away after a brief emergency-room exam, she went back to work on a movie set.

Santa Monica Police Sgt. Richard Lewis said there was no sign Lohan was driving while impaired and that his agency would continue to investigate who was at fault in the wreck. The truck’s driver was uninjured and that driver also showed no signs of driving under the influence, Lewis said.

“We’re treating this as a regular accident,” Lewis said.

The accident at around 11:40 a.m. Friday on the Pacific Coast Highway occurred while Lohan was on her way to film scenes for the Lifetime movie “Liz and Dick,” which chronicles the love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Lohan’s publicist Steve Honig said the actress was released about two hours after the accident and was returned to the set to continue filming.

“Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the accident,” he wrote in an email.

Lohan was driving with her assistant, who police said was not seriously injured.

The car appears to be a new Porsche 911, and it sustained heavy front-end damage, with most of it on the passenger’s side, judging from photos of the accident.

In introducing the latest version of the Porsche 911 last year, Porsche said the new Porsche 911 got its latest safety improvements. For instance, the latest version of the Porsche 911 comes with six airbags that protect both for head-on crashes or an offset crash, like the one in Lohan’s case.

The body of the car is extensively made of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel, Porsche sways.

“Particular attention was paid in designing and engineering the junctions of the A-pillars (the struts on either side of the windshield that support the roof) and the roof frame, as well as the safety structure involved in head-on and offset collisions,” Porsche said. The car was designed to transfer those forces around the doors to the rear of the car, skipping the passenger compartment.

In addition, a crossbar at the front of the car is made from high-strength steel to make sure it doesn’t intrude into the footwell area of the passenger compartment.
