Porsche 928 and icon motorsportsThe roadways can be a dangerous place to be, no matter what type of vehicle is moving you and yours to and fro. Though cars and trucks are getting safer year after year, the same can’t necessarily be said of motorcycles. While advances like anti-lock brakes, traction control and even airbags have made modern motorcycles easier to ride, it’s no surprise which vehicle generally wins when a car and a motorcycle collide.

That’s where the proper safety gear comes into play. In order to maximize safety when riding on two (or three) wheels, a rider needs to cover him or herself in the full spate of riding apparel, and companies like Icon Motorsports fill that need. Thing is, motorcyclists tend to be an interesting bunch, and appealing to their sense and sensibilities isn’t easy.

Hence, the video you’ll see after the break.* In it, a super cool dude with a ratty Porsche 928 (looks like the Tom Cruise’s Porsche 928 in movie Risky Business) has locked himself firmly in the ’80s and doesn’t give a single thought to anyone else, including a pair of Harley-Davidson Sportster-mounted bikers, ably played by Rob Carpenter and Chris Rayburn. Mayhem ensues. Oh, and as is often the case in the real world, the motorcyclist gets the girl.

Porsche 929 – A new two-door, front-engined Porsche coupé

A two-door, front-engined Porsche coupé is being planned as part of the second-generation Porsche Panamera family, highly placed sources have told Autocar.

The model is pencilled in for launch after the replacement for the Porsche Panamera four-door, scheduled for 2014/15.

German sports carc maker is planning the new Porsche Coupe two-door GT on a short-chassis version of the next Panamera’s underpinnings. It will attempt to capture the magic of the Porsche 928 coupé from the late 1970s.

A new Porsche 928 — possibly badged 929 — would give Porsche entry to a sector that has grown to over 10,000 sales a year, thanks to models like the Aston Martin DB9, Bentley Continental and Ferrari California.

Porsche is understood to be planning two variants of the Porsche 929: a coupé and a soft-top convertible.

They show a more geometric design language with a much stronger-looking front end.

However, any widening of the Porsche Panamera line-up depends on Porsche significantly expanding build capacity, said our source.

“At the moment, derivatives of the Panamera are not planned for the first generation,” said the insider. “We hope to add them to the second generation, provided we can find necessary capacity.”

Principally, there’s a new body assembly line to build the new Porsche Cajun compact SUV but it could also allow Porsche to switch production of the Porsche Panamera body from Volkswagen’s Hannover facility to Leipzig for the second-generation model.

In turn, that gives Porsche the flexibility to spin body derivatives off the Porsche Panamera. As a result, a third derivative — a sporty estate in the mould of the Mercedes CLS wagon due in 2012/13 — is possible.

“We have ideas to extend the Porsche Panamera line-up, including other body derivatives — a shooting brake, for example,” said our source.

Former Porsche boss Wolfgang Durheimer is now boss of Bentley and is weighing up a third model in Bentley’s line-up. A sporty CLS-type saloon would be one option.

New Porsche boss Matthias Muller last year told Autocar that Porsche and Bentley should share platforms to reduce costs.
