Jesus Christ, Porsche. Tom Cruise would have never done Risky Business had he known one day you’d be coming out with a four-door sport sedan. The Panamera is just that but don’t let the extra set of doors fool you. Starting at $89,000 the Panamera is aimed to be the premiere luxury car of 2010. Wondering how fast it goes? I’m glad you asked.

The different variants of the beauty are the Panamera S, AWD 4S and the flagship Turbo. Powered by a 4.8L V8 engine developing maximum output of 400hp (294kW), the Panamera S reaches the 100km/h mark in just 5.4 seconds and achieves a top speed of 283km/h!

Additionally, Porsche will offer its seven-speed Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) double-clutch gearbox for those who really want to make the most out of their trip to the Hamptons.

We’ve got a major energy crisis on our hands. We need as many alternatives to fossil-fuels as possible. It’s a good thing some artist spent countless hours on this life-sized inflatable Porsche Carrera. Simply unplug it, sit on the thing and the escaping air will propel you to your destination. So long as your destination is five feet in front of you.

In an effort to increase the cars capable distance, bring a can of Pepsi and a burrito from 7-11 with you while riding in the inflatable Porsche. As soon as you’re finished your “intake” and you’ve released the car’s air, release your own flatulence and the combined forces of your body’s gas and the car deflating will propel you across the state.

Actually, it’s not so much a ‘fire truck” as it is a “fire Porsche Cayenne S”—and it was spotted on the streets of Moscow. I suppose it could be used as a quick response vehicle, but my guess is that the FD picked it up so they would look cooler than the cops. More pictures after the jump.

After seeing the cigarette phone and the detachable retro phone, this Porsche cellphone could be even more sensational. First off it’s shaped like a Porsche (kind of), flip it over and it’s a cellphone! There’s a Porsche logo up there and we have no idea if the random Chinese company had any sense of copyrights in mind, but who cares? Porsche won’t make phones anyway. Look closely at the windshield and you’ll find the camera. Specs were literally unknown, so we phoned up the shop ourselves.

The Porsche911 (ironically this is indeed the index for the phone) runs on Dualband GSM, houses a 262K color screen and a 2 megapixels camera. It supports microSD up to 1GB, plays MP3 and MP4. You can pick up the phone in downtown Hong Kong for $164 now. –Sam Chan
