With the latest oil crisis and prices of everything increasing (and not stopping either), car manufacturers are forced to be more creative.

The good news is that Porsche Cayenne might be coming with a hybrid engine by 2010, all with a diesel engine while horsepower and torque remain the same.

I think I’d be looking really forward to a vegetable oil Porsche Cayenne. (Or at least they will have DIY kits for people who want to convert it)

Various news outlets have speculated that Porsche’s first-ever diesel engine would be installed in the Cayenne SUV for 2009, and now Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking has confirmed it.

A company in South Korea has launched their new portable Porsche 911 wireless mouse.  I don’t think these will ever make it to the States unless they did get some branding approval from Porsche or maybe they will pass as knockoffs.  (but the Porsches do look awfully real for mouse)

Well, last but not least, you do get to become a Porsche owner without spending 50 Gs with these.

Porsche 928s are one of my favorite classic Porsches if it’s not “the” favorite. I’d trade a brand new Porsche for a brand new 928 any day.

Why?

Well, Porsche 928s are the only “rear-wheeled” porsches and comes with a big fat V8 engine unlike the other twin-turbo Porsches.

Aside from the rear drive power, I do like the fact that these Porsches have a unique look unlike all the other Porsches.

Well, the point of this post isn’t about the on-going love for Porsches in general but this Porsche 928 with a Jet Engine! I’d probably wouldn’t want to modify my car like that but it’s cool.

Here’s a video of it:

This masterpiece of automotive engineering features a Boeing car jet engine and quite a bit of easily repairable minor damage. With a fresh coat of paint and a little tenderness, however, you can have a gas guzzling super-beast that runs on just about any type of oil.
