Love Porsche designs. And every new model/update only extends that passion. Many may say leave the Boxster for the ladies, but those many surely have not driven one. The feeling of driving a mid-engined, low center of gravity, open top sports car can not be bettered.

If there was one word to describe Cars on Fifth this year, it would be perfect. Located on the exclusive 5th street in Naples, Florida, Cars On 5th consists of blocks worth of Exotic and Classic cars flanked with the best shopping and restaurants that Naples has to offer. This luxury atmosphere keeps us coming back year after year. The reason why I say this year was perfect was a great combination of cool seventy degree weather, a great crowd, and the best cars to date.

Much like the variety of restaurants on 5th street, the diversity of cars at Cars On Fifth is quite special. There are very few shows where you see a classic truck slammed on bags across from a Shelby GT500 which is parked next to a Gulf blue Mercedes SLS AMG; While for the most part, cars are grouped by make and model, juxtapositions like that remind you if you like cars, you can appreciate them all. That ideal is seen throughout Cars on Fifth, everyone appreciates everything. Look in any direction and you’ll see a Ferrari guy talking to a Ford guy about his Mustang, or a crowd of Porsche enthusiasts admiring a slammed Rat Rod. Simply put, there is no hate.

So what stood out to me? Well, the first car that made me go “wow” was a gulf blue SLS AMG. There wasn’t a whole lot special about it, except that beautiful powder blue and that’s enough for me. My other best in show was the two-tone Ferrari 458 Italia. The black accents on this hot new Ferrari took it to the next level, and a great example of subtlety going a long way. This was why in a row of six 458’s it was the one that everyone was talking about.

I could go on and on about the beauty of dozens of the cars there, but I’m sure you would rather just look at the pictures. With something for everyone from food to shopping to all types of cars, Cars On Fifth keeps getting better and better with each passing year. Their only problem will be topping the perfection of this year’s show!

I Love Bass comes out swinging with this fluffer video promoting Dubshed 2012. If I had to describe that “first time fall-in-love” feeling, this video would be the perfect metaphor. It’s just a sign of things to come as the show season ramps up. The bagged euro classic will be definitely trending this year, I have a feeling.  And inspiration is in no short supply when watching this video. (have tissue ready!)

Here at Rezmoto, we’re always talking about the future of automotive design. What will be the next big innovation? How will new technologies be incorporated into the performance industry? Well, this video of a “Porsche 9P1 Concept” by four students from ISD (Institut Supérieur de Design) certainly shows us one possible path Porsche could take.

Note the power-plant with four belt-driven generator type motors. I would love to see the specs written out for this beast. I’ll presume this is some high output modified quad-electric? The detail is uncanny and the hours and hours of discussion, concept development and artistic rendering shows through and through. Anyone else want to speculate on the power-plant?

The title says it all. Porsche’s new 911 7-speed manual…

It’s official… the turbo should look phenomenal.

What do you get when Porsche adds an ‘S’ to the end of a badge? How does an additional 50hp and 75lbs-ft torque (in overboost) sound? This is the Panamera that you should aspire too. Forget the normally aspirated plane Jane Panamera. Walk right past the Panamera Turbo, and go directly to the ‘S’. Oh, and don’t forget to deposit an additional $50k.
