Got To Sprint: Porsche's Panamera GTS Lands Here

IN Porsche, Panamera, GTS, Porsche Panamera GTS, Porsche Centre Singapore, Stuttgart Auto

430 hp, all-wheel drive and sports chassis for a Panamera sounds like an interesting proposition


Additionally, the Carrera 2 outputs lower CO2 emission, and now thanks to the synergy with the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 tyres, the CO2 ratings get even lower. This is due to the technology driven by reduced tyre weight and a new ‘high surface’ silica grade that contributes to reduced heat generation (lowering the rolling resistance).

In two recent news, Goodyear Tyres have bagged accolades for their breakthrough in tyre technology.


For most part, the Veloster drives very well. The steering feels accurate, there’s little body roll, the brakes are strong and assuring, the gearbox swaps between cogs smoothly even when you’re doing it the “+/-“ way. And there’s good composure while roving bumpy roads at speed. Importantly, with or without traction control working, the front suspension does a grand job of transferring all the power to the road without undue tricks (what understeer?).

Compact and muscular, the DS signature on the bonnet is complemented by a striking LED light signature around the front fog lights (LEDs are illuminated both day and night). The car was designed from the start to have a reduced environmental footprint, especially evident in its construction - around 15% of the 200kg of plastic used in the DS4 vehicle is derived from ‘green materials'.

The slight increase in front axle load rating compared with the MINI increases traction at the front wheels and helps to ensure that the engine power is effortlessly translated into sporty acceleration. The rear gets extra bodyshell stiffening too, which translates to a higher overall torsional rigidity of the body than the standard MINI Cooper.

Sports-Purpose Vehicle | Volkswagen Sharan 2.0 TSI DSG

In conclusion, if you are shopping for a good car, the Jetta Sport does have some very good points that makes it a safe choice. Firstly, it's big. Secondly, it's fast. Thirdly, it's priced to worry the competition (with that said, the competition offers thirstier 2.0-litre engines for roughly the same price). With these three big pluses, it won't be long until you come across a Jetta Sport on the road. We'll pick it if we want a sensible family sedan, but as a sports car... we can only hope that the GLI and the speculated R variants will pack all the necessary thrills.

The RS 3 Sportback differs from its S3 cousin with flared front fenders made from carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), prominent sill panels, exterior-mirror casings in matt aluminium look and a large roof spoiler. A high-gloss black diffuser insert and two elliptical exhaust tailpipes on the left accentuate the styling at the rear.

Beautiful isn't it? No ungainly straps that flap around at speed, no roof racks to spoil the nice curves of that roof and most importantly, it is not that difficult to use. Best of all, you won't be pulled over by the cops because your lights and number plates are still fully visible.

With the optional xenon plus headlights, the LED daytime running lights form a narrow, homogenous clasp framing the headlight. Audi also offers the adaptive light system with dynamic cornering light and turning light. The rear lights have also been redesigned and are optionally available with continuous LED light strips.

The new Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tyre features an advanced full silica compound which reduces the friction between the tyre's rubber molecules and provides higher resistance to abrasion, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and a longer tread life. Additionally, the tyre is built with a hard base under the tread, which reduces deformation in the crown area and heat build-up. The tyre also features even pressure distribution that helps to reduce the rate of wear.
