Lazy Porsche Demands Elevator Service
8:17PM John Herrman | At first, the organisers of the Shanghai Motor Show probably thought Porsche was joking when they suggested holding a press conference for their Panamera sedan on the 94th floor of an office building. They weren’t. More »

Porsche P’9522 Mobile Phone Lacks 3G, Has GPS For Navigating Your Porsche
8:42PM Kit Eaton | Porsche has kicked out mobile phones before: but none so capable as the upcoming P’9522. It’s a butch but sweetly-minimal design flip phone, with a rotating screen, and it’s just got its FCC pass so it should be on the way here soon. Among its many features, it sadly lacks 3G connectivity, but the rest—including on-board GPS—almost make up for that. More »

9:19AM Nick Broughall | You’d have to really enjoy Gran Turismo to go out and buy the Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel for PS3 and PC. Not that it’s a bad product – from the specs it looks like a pretty impressive gaming wheel. The 300mm wheel has got all the bells and whistles, from adjustable force feedback to wireless pedals and two gearsticks (sequential and 6+1 speed H-pattern).
But alongside it’s leather trimmings and Porsche badges comes a Porsche-like pricetag of $500. That’s almost as much as the cost of a PS3, and double the price of other gaming wheels that do a similar job (although admittedly they lack some of the finer features.) Still, I’m sure some of you are excited by the idea of driving your virtual Porsche with a “Porsche” branded wheel, so know that you can pick this up from Dick Smith Powerhouse, The Gamesmen or Techbuy.

If a Porsche Shacked Up With an iPod Dock, You’d Get the Eton P’9120
4:30AM Mark Wilson | Can you imagine all the little Eton brothers and sisters sitting around the dinner table, when in walks the Eton P’9120? Its speakers and remote are different…not like mummy or daddy’s at all. Awwwwkward. Anyway, the Eton P’9120 is a Porsche-designed Eton iPod dock packing an alarm clock and XM satellite radio antenna. And its remote, for some strange reason, includes a flashlight as well. Going for US$600, the P’9120 is not quite as beautiful as the real thing, but as an entry, entry level Porsche, it’ll do. Besides, if you don’t adopt this poor Eton radio, daddy might figure things out. [Eton via DVICE]

Liquid-Refrigerated NVIDIA SLI PC Made With a Cayenne Wheel Doesn’t Include Flames Stickers
10:18PM Jesus Diaz | The Porsche SLI-Machine is a PC with dual NVIDIA SLI cards and liquid refrigeration inside the chromed rim of a Porsche Cayenne wheel. It was one of the most popular entries in the NVIDIA-sponsored SLI-Machine modding contest, recently organized by russian publication Top Mods. And yes, we know, it’s absolutely stupid. Everyone knows that wheel PCs should be done from Ford Mustang wheels for maximum speed and cool factor, not a bloody pimped up Volkswagen SUV. [Gizmodo Spain] More »

Just 15 of these Champagne tower chillers, with room for a dozen magnums in individual, lit drawers, have been designed for Veuve Cliquot by Porsche Design. Want to see what it looks like open?

Porsche Kinderbob, for Only the Most Chic Kids
7:45AM Charlie White | It’s not hard to find items with the Porsche logo on them lately – heck, we’re thinking that soon you’ll even be able to find Porsche dildos. If you’d like to have just one thing with a Porsche logo on it in your household, this little bobsled for your kids might just qualify. It costs $US115, and that’s a whole lot less than the car, or even the Porsche >> mobile phone . It doesn’t look half bad, either. [Porsche Design, via GeekAlerts] More »
