Singapore drivers have earned themselves a bad reputation in Malaysia after a certain someone made headlines for a road rage incident that occurred at Tuas Second Link. Since then, many have began keeping a watchful eye on Singapore-registered cars and the way Singapore drivers behave on foreign soil. Unfortunately, a Singapore Porsche convoy in Malaysia caught the attention of a local driver who filmed them driving "recklessly" and subsequently made a police report on them. Watch the video here: What Happened? A group of Singapore-registered Porsches were travelling on a single-lane road in Malaysia, intending to drive in a "convoy style" configuration. To maintain their convoy configuration, several Porsches overtook the cam car driver, who was in the middle of the Porsche convoy. The cam car driver deemed the overtaking manoeuvre by the Porsche drivers to be "reckless". So unsurprisingly, the Malaysian driver used his mobile phone to film the overtaking incident while driving and subsequently made a police report about them. In all honesty, I felt the overtaking manoeuvres by the Porsche drivers were not reckless at all (despite a few of them crossing the double solid white lines). Here's why: 1) They ensured that the traffic in the opposite direction was clear before performing the overtaking manoeuvre; and 2) They performed the overtaking manoeuvre swiftly yet safely, which did not cause the cam car to perform any abrupt braking. Wanted by Malaysian Authorities Malaysian authorities are now attempting to track down the 7 Porsche drivers involved in the "reckless" incident. Below is the original media statement by the Kota Tinggi District Police Chief, Johor: Here's the translated version of the media statement: Netizens' Comments Cam car driver obviously forgot to "ownself check ownself". My exact sentiments. After the stolen Honda Civic Type R incident and the Hyundai Elantra, whose wheels got stolen in KSL City Mall, it is not uncommon for more Singaporeans to take additional precautions while travelling in Malaysia. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

A netizen made a public claim on Facebook about Changi General Hospital (CGH) making a false statement in his medical report in an accident involving him and a Porsche 911 Carrera. In the public post, the netizen claims that CGH stated in the medical report that the motorcyclist (the netizen) skidded and collided with a car (The Porsche 911 Carrera). Read his post here: However, in the dashcam footage provided by the netizen, it showed otherwise. Watch it here: IMG_7665.MP4 What Happened? In December 2021, the netizen (motorcyclist) was side swiped by a Porsche 911 Carrera that had just merged into the expressway. The motorcyclist immediately lost his balance and fell due to the impact of the collision. Meanwhile his motorcycle skidded into lane 1 of the expressway. The netizen subsequently sought medical treatment at Changi General Hospital for his injuries following the accident. The Lapse Currently, the netizen wishes to seek clarification from higher authorities regarding the lapse in CGH's medical report. Furthermore, to seek the justice he deserves, the netizen tagged the Ministry of Health, Changi General Hospital and Mothership in his Facebook post to grab their attention on this matter. Several netizens went further by tagging our health minister in the comments. UPDATE (24/6/2022, 1400h) Changi General Hospital has reached out to the netizen in regards to his Facebook post. They have also released a statement on Facebook. Netizens' Comments If what the netizen claimed in his Facebook post was true, CGH would have to address this pressing issue swiftly. The amount of sarcasm tho. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community. Join us today!

There's a unique new way for Porsche owners, male and female, to give their car its own special identity. Where the model type normally goes, you can now opt to have the wording of your choice in the same style of lettering. Normally, instead of the model names such as Cayenne, Turbo, Carrera, Cayman or Boxster, the name of any owner, his or her girlfriend or boyfriend, dog, company or anything at all can be put on the car: from Bruce to Michelle, from David to Roxanne to Jade and so on. Furthermore, creative thinking can lead to all sorts of amusing phrases, with endless possibilities. Phrases like: 'My Seventh' or 'Thanks Daddy' 'Not Leased' and 'Follow Me' are just some examples. With its own unique wording, a Porsche becomes just a little more exclusive and that's what this unique new service is all about. The lettering can also be ordered in different colors - black, silver, and even gold - at www.nameyourporsche.com, where you'll also find a range of examples and full information about quality, price, and delivery all over the world.

Guess who won? they battled it out in a track with high speed turns and slow speed turns, a long straight and some small turns.. the car won by three quarters of a second.. Bike - 0-100km/h in 3.2sec Car - 0-100km/h in 5.2sec the bike got a head start and was screaming ahead till it reaches a bend.. the car overtook it easily.. and at the long straight, the bike overtook the car again.. and the porsche only overtook the bike in the last corner..

From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg.../fast_cars.html Posted on 20 May 2012 'Unfair to blame or label all fast car drivers as speed demons,' says Porsche owner Miss Carena Chen, 40, owns a Porsche Carrera 911. She believes that the accident involving the Ferrari driver that killed three is an isolated incident and it is unfair to blame or label all fast car drivers because of it. She is one of the women who make up the 20 per cent of Porsche owners. Miss Chen also believes that women are probably safer drivers than men because they tend to be more cautious while driving. Chairman of the Public Transport Council, Mr Gerard Ee, also told The New Paper that accidents involving supercars continue to remain low. He says most owners take good car of their cars probably because they are very expensive. He also remarked that he sometimes sees them driving very slowly on the road, just to enjoy the purring of the engines. Mr Lester Wong, 40, also feels that not all supercar owners be blamed because the Ferrari driver made an error. He also feels that true 'petrolheads' make the effort to know the limitations of their cars, sharing a simple calculation to gauge when to slow down while travelling at a fast speed and what gear to use. Both Mr Ng Chwee Ping, 37, and Mr Gary Goh, 30, feel that if one buys fast cars because one has the desire to speed, one should go to the tracks because one should always be responsible on public roads. Mr Ng also advises that one should do so to know the limits of the car and how to respond should something go wrong. He hits the race tracks in Malaysia four times a year with his friends. Of course, there are also those who buy fast cars merely as an investment, as Mr Leow Ju-Len, 36, motoring journalist and STOMP Star Blogger says.

I got this redemption letter from Maybank for 1 Day Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Drive on weekday. Anyone need a Porsche for their wedding? Too bad mine was on a weekend...

Porsche has unveiled a swan song of sorts for the current 911 Carrera, the 911 Carrera GTS. This current crop of 911s, the 997.2 (the '2' being the second revision of this chassis) is scheduled to be replaced by a new 911 sometime in 2011 and in line with this, they've decided to release a higher performance version of their venerable 911 Carrera which is the entry level line for the 911s. The car you see here is scheduled for its live debut at the Paris Motor Show shortly. This new Carrera range will be the base Carrera, the Carrera S and now the Carrera GTS. One rung higher up will be the 911 GT3. This model could be for those yearning for a more powerful Carrera S but not willing to suffer from a lack of refinement that would happen when buying a GT3. Actually, this could be just a way to milk customers a little as the 997.2 GT3 and its GT3 RS sibling aren't as ridiculously unbearable according to road testers. What you would gain from the Carrera GTS is more power, a 44mm wider body at the rear from the Carrera 4 (and the GT3 RS) and more goodies, when it comes to specification. The car now hits 306km/h, up 4km/h from the Carrera S and now accelerates to 100km/h from nought 0.1 seconds faster in PDK (dual clutch gearbox) together with Sports Chrono Plus package if the car is set in Sport Plus mode. Fuel consumption is still very livable, making 10.2ltr/100km and CO2 emissions are 240g/km. Good figures for a sports car. The power gets a nice bump in order to achieve the above figures. The Carrera GTS makes 402bhp. The previous top Carrera S makes 380bhp and the GT3 makes 429bhp. This makes the Carrera GTS fall somewhat right smack in the middle of both when it comes to being a bridge between the two latter models mentioned above. Torque however remains the same as the Carrera S but the reworked 3.8 flat-6 engine ,which has a new variable intake manifold with 6 vacuum controlled flaps, allows for the maximum torque figure to come in at 4,200rpm instead of 4,400rpm. There is also a sports exhaust system added with the tail pipes painted in black and polished mid-piping for those who want to gawk when looking under the car. The Carrera GTS will have a Porsche SportDesign front bumper with lip spoiler section painted black. There is black GTS specific side skirts and the usual Porsche self advertising Carrera GTS graphics (which aren't as 'in your face' as those on a GT3) on the doors and the rear cover . The car sits on 19inch RS Spyder wheels all round which has special centre hub mounted wheels (like the GT3 RS instead of using individual wheel nuts). The interior gets black alcantara suede material as standard and used specifically used in places where the driver is in contact with the car, namely the steering wheel (a new three spoke SportDesign wheel), the handbrake lever and the gear knob. The Carrera GTS will start selling in Germany by December this year and later to other major markets. It will cost 104,935Euro for the coupe and 115,050Euro for the cabriolet version of this car over there. Something good for those who do not want to go totally extreme or a slightly faster Carrera S and nothing more.

bought in oct 08. 2 yrs warranty. how much shd i list my selling price? see pic below

I realised that there are a few watch collectors here... so a question... Would you consider getting the Tag Grand Carrera (the brown dial one is really nice) if you already own a Kirium and a Monza? Or would you look at other brands?

To the yellow carrera at noon during along Victoria street. Lim peh was crossing the street. Nobody can miss the banana color. You were at a traffic light in front of Bras Basah complex. Seriously what are you thinking of, trying to do a drag race from one traffic light to the next. Standing at the road island, I can see that you nearly hit a nos of cars turning from opposite direction into middle road when you tried to go pass the road junction even when it has already turned amber. es, you did smoke the rest of the car but that was certainly not keeping to street limits of 50km/h if you have forgotten to read the speed limit sign on your left. Alo.... this is not orchard gudang. There are plenty of office workers gg for lunch. You are one serious EGOSITIC menace to all road users.

The production version is here - 205mph and 0-60 in 3.9"
