Torque revs up

in styleWelcome to our new Torque magazine. Like anything

associated with Porsche, we are constantly looking at ways

to improve our performance, and this Autumn issue sees

some design tweaks and an exciting innovation. From this

issue, Torque will be available as an iPad app and I encourage

you to take a look. I think youll be impressed.

While our printed magazine remains,

there are a ew design and layout

modications that we hope youll enjoy.

The stories youll read here are in an

edited orm, whilst our new Torque iPad

app will reveal ull stories with a much

bigger range o accompanying images

and will also eature occasional videoand other exciting animated graphics.

A great example can be seen with

our Tasmania drive story, where PCM

customers Sam and Josie have their

circumnavigation o Tasmania tracked.

Elsewhere in Torque, we start our

three-part series tracing the history

o the iconic Porsche 911, as part othe 50th anniversary o this benchmark

sports car. I think youll enjoy the

story on Andrew Kerr, one o our well-

respected new car sales team, whose

rise through the ranks rom humble

beginnings is a great testament to

his sel belie and perseverance.

We eature our support o Trinity

Grammar in their involvement in theRACV Energy Breakthrough Program.

The all new Cayman is the ocus

and it has been unveiled to universal

praise. The Cayman has really come

Completely re-developed, the third

generation Cayman has been lauded

by motoring writers around the world.

Always a beautiully balanced car, the

third generation Cayman is lower andlonger, lighter and aster, more ecient

and yet more powerul than beore.

With a longer wheelbase, wider track

and larger wheels that urther enhance

the already sprightly perormance o

this classic mid-engine sports car, the

new Cayman breaks new ground in all

round driving perormance, economy

and design aesthetics. In act the new

Cayman consumes up to 15% less

uel per 100 km than the previous

model, with new uel consumption

gures o 7.7 l/100 km and 8.0

l/100 km respectively or the Cayman

and Cayman S variants (depending

upon selected transmission).

The base model Cayman is powered by

a 2.7 litre fat six-cylinder engine with

275 hp (202 kW), and accelerates

rom zero to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds

(depending on the equipment), on

its way to a top speed o 266 km/h.

The Cayman S runs a 3.4 litre engine

that produces 325 hp (239 kW)

and can accelerate rom zero to100 km/h in as little as 4.7 seconds,

with a top speed o 283 km/h. Both

models have the traditional manual

six-speed transmission or they

can be optioned with seven-speed

PDK, enabling aster acceleration

together with better uel economy.

There are numerous upgrades or the

new model, including Adaptive Cruise

Control (ACC), which controls theLighter, lower, more efcient and more powerul than ever.

The all new Porsche Cayman is a simply stunning drivers car.

distance to the car ahead in trac and

vehicle speed. Another new optional

eature or the Cayman is the keyless

Entry & Drive system, and specially

developed Burmester sound system.

Like its sot top Boxster sibling, the all

new Cayman is more distinctive than

ever, with a purposeul sporty stance,

marked by precise lines and razor-sharp sculpted edges. These serve

to emphasise the cars low, extended

silhouette, where the windscreen is

shited orward and the roofine sweeps

urther back than beore. The extended

wheelbase with shorter overhangs

and 18-inch and 19-inch diameter

wheels with larger rolling circumerence

are identiying visual characteristics

o the Caymans enhanced driving

perormance. Especially expressive

are the dynamic recesses in the doors,

which guide induction air into the

distinctive air scoops on the rear side

panels and then directly to the engine.

Viewed rom the ront, the Cayman

is marked by its dominant cooling air

inlets, whilst at the back o the car

we now see the unique low rear lid,made o aluminium with wrap-around

edges or the rear section o the car.

Mounted directly to this rear lid is the

thin blade o the rear spoiler. It rises

up higher and at a steeper angle than

the similar spoiler on the Boxster.

Orders are being taken or both

Cayman models now, and carsare expected to arrive in late April.

Torque Style

What does a girl do, when on the eve o her husbands

planned retirement, ater 40 years o working or the

one company, he is negotiating his entitlements andcontractual arrangements, and emotional issues come

into play? Well, she buys her man a brand new Porsche

(911 4S) and books a our week holiday to Tasmania

that will take them around the entire Apple Isle in style.

With excitement and a little

trepidation we drive the new baby

onto the Spirit o Tasmania. We sail

down Port Phillip Bay viewing the

landmarks rom St Kilda to Portsea

bathed in a golden sunset. Bass

Strait is as smooth as a millpond.

Our trip around Tasmania starts at

the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm

between Devonport and Deloraine

where ater breakast, we skirt

Launceston, driving up the east side othe Tamar River Valley, to Georgetown

with its convict-built settlement and

lighthouse, then cross the river at

Batman Bridge and onto our destination

o Beauty Point. The Tamar Valleyis winemaking country, so we visit

many wineries and restaurants that

aord beautiul views. Another day

trip involves visiting the Seahorse

Farm in Beauty Point where they

are bred or research, then we head

o-road in the Narawntapu National

Park with its huge sand hills and

Carribean-coloured ocean. No-onecan believe we are driving on these

unsealed roads, but Sam says with

the 4WD we wont get bogged.

We stay overnight in Launceston beore

our our day Bay o Fires guided walk

that commences on the north-east tip

o Tasmania in the Mt William National

Park. Next stop is Swansea wherewe base ourselves or three days at

Avalon Retreat, an architecturally-

designed holiday rental with its own

private beach. We are greeted every

aternoon by the local dolphin pod in

Great Oyster Bay. The seaside towns o

St Helens and Bicheno, the FreycinetPeninsula and Wine Glass Bay are

short drives along gently winding

roads where we pick up resh seaood

and pop into wineries or supplies.

The sinuous drive down the east

coast on the A3 via Triabunna to

Hobart rewards us with picturesque

scenery, quaint shing ports, the

step o point to Maria Island and

miles o poppies growing in elds.

Four nights in Hobart isnt enough

time to see everything, with day trips

to Port Arthur, Bruny Island and

the Huon Peninsula on oer, along

with others like Mount Wellington.

A visit to MONA the Museum o Oldand New Art is a must. We take the

erry rom Constitution Dock, crossing

the Derwent and our rst glimpse

shows that the Museum itsel is a

work o art. Most o the gallery space

is underground and the sandstone

interior is let exposed in many areas,

providing a sense o entombment.

Ater a great lunch in the wine bar,

we venture back to Constitution Dock

and the Henry Jones Hotel. We

recommend six nights in Hobart.

Leaving Hobart we appreciate theextra horsepower as we drive north-

west towards Lake St Clair and the

Cradle Mountains National Park. First

stop is Derwent Bridge to visit The

Wall in the Wilderness one mans

lie work carving the history o this

area rom gigantic 3 metre high Huon

Pine panels that stretch or over 100

metres. The oggy road winds throughrugged mountain and lake country and

Strahan on the west coast becomes

our base or three nights. Over our

days we see Macquarie Harbour by

catamaran, the Gordon River by kayak,

and the Western Wilderness by train

and a 4WD Piners and Miners Tour.

Our next stop is Boat Harbour on thenorth coast. From the well preserved

old mining town o Zeehan, we head

north on the A10 to Rosebery and

detour at Waratah, taking the 44 km

downhill road to Savage River,

a stage in the Targa Tasmania

plenty o bends and great driving,

with a precipitous drop rom Waratah

(hard on the brakes). We then power

back to the Murchison Highway

and through the Hellyer Gorge

another Targa Tasmania stage.

Boat Harbour should be another

Noosa, but the crystal clear water is

reezing, even on a 30 degree day, so

its destined to keep its relaxed bro

shack ambience. A day trip to Stanleyreveals painted wooden houses, a

bluestone port area and the walk up

the Nut rewards with views over Bass

Strait and reshly caught craysh.

Our next destination is Cradle

Valley, but Sheeld is worth a stop

to appreciate the murals depicting

the towns past on most buildingsin the town. The 911 4S loves the

winding drive up into the National

Park and we appreciate the eortless

power. The park oers day walks or

all tness levels through towering

orest to steep tracks with Cradle

Mountain as the backdrop.

Our nal stop is Mole Creek, at

the base o the Western Tiers, 50

kilometres south o Devonport, to seethe caves. The river running through the

Marakoopa Cave heightens the senses,

but the most spectacular ormations

are in the King Solomon Cave with

its cathedral o futed and brightly

coloured stalagmites and stalactites.

We drive into the hold o the Spirit

and the car is lthy. A ellow passengercongratulates us or taking the car o

INSIGHT

We have heard that you have

quite a story within PCM...

I started o washing cars at PCM

in June 2000. Ater six months I

progressed to car detailing, then usedcar sales and nally new car sales.

How did you get your frst job here?

I got the car washing job through a

riend who was working here. I had

the interview with the service manager

and he said yes, youre hired. I turned

up to start the next day and that

service manager was not there, so

the new manager said to me what

are you doing here? and I said Im

here or the car washing position.

I started car detailing about six

months ater that or roughly two

years and then I started managing

the detailing department.

I had always wanted to sell cars.

I kept asking to get a job in sales,

however I had no experience.

I then oered to sell cars on a Saturday

without pay which allowed me to

build my selling experience. It took a

little while, however eventually I started

to sell some cars on Saturdays.

Ater two years, I was oered a ull

time job in used car sales by Peter

Sullivan. Then Piero oered me a job

in new car sales I have been selling

new cars or about 7 years now.

What drove you to succeed urther?

Ive always enjoyed dealing with

people. I was lucky because we usedto run a lot o drive days and my job

was to clean the vehicles. I got to

and popular member o the

sales team. And hes taken

an interesting route tohis current new car sales

position. His is a story o

persistence and sel belie.


11/20


talk about Porsche and get up close

to the cars. That ultimately worked

very well in developing how to sell.

What are the most rewarding sales?

For me, the nal part o delivery

and hand over and seeing

peoples reaction to their new

Porsche its a great moment.

And unny stories?

Beore Christmas a good customer

came in whose wie really wanted

a car. He rang me and asked meto play along Ill order the car but

she cant know. We had a vehicle

in stock. He told his wie that they

had missed out she was quite

upset. I had to tell her that the car

was going to arrive in April next year.

Then the day came. He called his

wie and said he had broken down in

ront o PCM, so they walked into the

show room. I arranged a big bow on

the car. She had a look, looked at me,

then at the car again and then at her

husband, and exclaimed, is that my

car?. He said, Merry Christmas. She

genuinely didnt know the whole time.

Tell us about some o the exciting

opportunities youve enjoyed at PCM

I did the Great Ocean Road Escape

the road was closed or the event it

was an amazing drive. Ive also done

Classic Adelaide, which included

driving our days through the Adelaide

Hills on some antastic roads.

I have been to Germany twice now,

visiting all o the actories and driven

some GT3s on the race track.

Outside o PCM

I have two children Will is nearly two

and Harrison is nearly ve. I spend

a lot o time with them. I do a lot o

bike riding as well, so I can be ound

on Beach Road three or our mornings

a week. I have been doing it or years

and used to do it at a national level.

Do you own a Porsche?

Ive owned couple. I had a 911 Turbo,

a 1984 model, which I loved. Then kids

come along and baby seats dont t

lie changes! So the next step was a

Cayenne. Where the opportunity arises,

there is always a Porsche in the garage.

And i not or your kids, which model

would you choose or yoursel?

I have a very sot spot or 911s,

so the current 911 Turbo PDK in

black would be the car or me.

What new releases are

you excited about?

The 911 Turbo and GT3 releases

are both very exciting models.

Where to rom here Andrew?

Finding more time to get back into

bike riding and probably start getting

competitive with that. Here at PCM,

I love selling cars, but there is alwaysthe progression to management,

so that is probably the next step.

This is the frst in a year

long series o stories about

the iconic Porsche 911,

which celebrates its 50year anniversary in 2013.

For ve decades the 911 has been

the heart and soul o the Porsche

brand. Few other cars in the world

can look back on such a long tradition

o design and image continuity. The

Porsche 911 is arguably one o the

worlds most recognised marques.

To celebrate, Porsche is sending

a special 911 on a world tour

that will include Australia and

its best known landmarks.

The 911 has been an inspiration

or sports car enthusiasts since its

debut (as the 901) at the rankurt

IAA International Automotive Show

in September 1963. Today, it is

considered the quintessential sports

car. A car design with an enviable

heritage that continues to evolve

without losing its distinctive orm.

The 911 is the central point o

reerence or all other Porsche series.

From the Cayenne to the Panamera,

every Porsche is the most sporting car

in its segment and each one carries

a piece o the 911 philosophy.

Over 820,000 911s have been sold,

including almost 10,000 in Australia,

making it the most successul sports

car in the world. For each o its

seven generations, the engineers anddesigners have reinvented it and rened


13/20


it, demonstrating the power o the

brand and ongoing belie in the core

principles behind the original concept.

Like no other, the 911 reconciles

apparent contradictions such assportiness and everyday practicality,

tradition and innovation, exclusivity

and social acceptance, design and

unctionality, immense perormance

and economy (especially true

o the 997 and 991 series).

Ferry Porsche best described its

unique qualities: The 911 is the onlycar you could drive on an Arican

saari or at Le Mans, to the theatre

or through New York City trac.

The Porsche 911 has always been

distinguished by its advanced

technology. Many o the ideas in the

rst 911 were conceived on the race

track. The 911 was committed toperormance with motor racing as

its most important test. Two thirds

o Porsches 30,000 race victories

to date are notched up by the 911.

Anniversary Celebrations

The 50th anniversary o this iconic

sports car is ocus or 2013. A variety

o anniversary events are planned,starting with the Retro Classics in

Stuttgart. From March 7-10 the Porsche

Museum is eaturing our exhibits: an

early model 911 Turbo Coup, a 911

Cabriolet study rom 1981, a 1997

street version 911 GT1 and the pre-

series Type 754 T7. This chassis by

Proessor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche

was a milestone on the way to the911 design. Porsche is also sending

an authentic 1967 model 911 on a

world tour, which will include Australia.

continents at porsche.com/ollow-911

The Porsche Museum is celebrating

50 years o the Porsche 911 rom

June 4th to September 29th with

an exhibition eaturing the history

and development o the 911. Themuseums own publishing house,

Edition porsche-Museum, will publish

an anniversary book titled 911x911.

The First 911 (1963) Birth o a Legend

As the successor to the Porsche 356,

the 911 won the hearts o sports car

enthusiasts. The prototype was unveiled

at the Frankurt IAA Motor Show in

1963 as the 901, and renamed the

911 or its market launch in 1964.

Its air-cooled, six-cylinder boxer engine

delivered 128 hp (94 kW), giving it an

impressive top speed o 131 mph (210

km/h). In 1966, Porsche presented

the 158 hp (116 kW) 911 S the rst

to eature orged alloy wheels romFuchs. Between these releases was

a our-cylinder Porsche 912 or those

who liked to take things a little slower.

The 911 Targa with its distinctive

stainless steel roll bar, debuted in

late 1966 as the worlds rst ever

saety cabriolet. The semi automatic

Sportomatic our-speed transmission

joined the line-up in 1967. With the

911 T o the same year, and the laterE and S variants, Porsche became

the rst German manuacturer

to comply with strict US exhaust

emission control regulations.

The 911 became more powerul as

displacement increased, initially to

2.2 litres (1969) and later to 2.4 litres

(1971). The Carrera RS 2.7 o 1972with 207 hp (152 kW) engine and

weighing less than 1000 kg remains

a dream sports car to this day. Its

distinctive ducktail was the worlds

rst rear spoiler on a production car.

Rejoin the Porsche 911 50 year

celebration story in the next issue o

Torque, where we explore the secondgeneration G-Series, the 964 and 993.

We spoke to students Mark Reich

and Tom Noonan, Marks ather Martin

and Design & Technology teachers

Foster Adem and Graeme Wiggins.

Foster: Its a composite project

there is teacher and student input.

Its very sophisticated technology.

Its a pedal/electric so we got help

to engineer the electrical side o it.

Martin: Its taken almost 10 years

to get to [this] point.

Graeme: In previous years, aspects

o the project have been more

competitive. This race represented

the most cohesive teamwork and

strategy wed ever taken to the event.

These cars were designed and built

by students. They had sta assistance,

but both were designed in CAD and

we used those design les or thesteel abrication and skins. It was like

assembling a Lego set. The students

100% own the design process.

Martin: For costs, we base it onhow much the students raise in

sponsorship. At the event we were

discussing [sponsorship] with other

teams, and they got $500-$600.

We raised in excess o $10,000!

Tom: Porsche Cars Australia supplied

us with a support vehicle, a trailer

[and] some marquees or the pits. We

developed t-shirts with our sponsors.

At 1pm, the boys were on the grid.

The younger students managed the

driver change, tyre and battery changes

until 11pm; the older students took

over overnight with the younger boys

returning or the morning. The team

captains completed the nal stage.

speed o 40 km/h. The drivers were

wired up to a radio and the pit crew

had laptops to analyse perormance.

Conserving battery lie was critical.

Mark: I you [drain the battery] you

would either have to change the driver

and battery, which takes time, or

keep going without the battery which

means your times would get slower.

We were told to use the brake as little

as possible. I you dont deceleratewith your brake it means you keep on

using the power [the battery] gave you.

Tom: When the race started it

was pretty hot on the track and we

also had to wear thermals and ull

ace helmets. When I got out o the

vehicle ater about 9 laps, I was

really over-heated. I had a wholeteam o mothers bringing water and

Gatorade. Everyone plays a part.

Mark: There was an emphasis

on teamwork. We needed to make

sure we were keeping up our times,

making sure you were hydrated andworking as hard as you can. You

need to make sure youre helping

each other. You really eel the atigue

ater the rst ew laps. I needed to

make sure that I kept putting in the

work, so that I kept the team going.

There was also the mental

atigue as well making sure youwerent blowing o at someone

else because you were tired.

Tom: The teachers were a massive

infuence, making sure that we are

doing everything to the rules. The

program could not run without the

parental support we have. We couldnt

get success out o the program withoutpeople like Martin helping out.

Award Process

Mark: We are encouraged to learn as

much as we can as we are tested on

our knowledge o the vehicle. We won

every area we knew about the cars,

how they were built and the strategy.

Graeme: The race only counts

or 25% o the win its about

having a comprehensive knowledge

o sustainable practices and

energy management.

Marks car Shake n Bake was the

overall winner o the Hybrid Section 1

Open category and Toms car This Way
