Scrapping Cars & Recycling Blog

Recently I stumbled upon an awesome article posted earlier today, by Ryan M., over on Zealous About Great Gadgets entitled The Future of Cars at CES: Porsche | ZAGGblog that I strongly suggest you all read. Below are some extracts in the hope of whetting your appetites!

The following story didn’t break at CES, but at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Still though, the tech in this beautiful Porsche might as well have made a debut at CES as it lines up nicely with the break throughs seen in other car manufacturers. Pictured above is a ‘modest’ little offering from Porsche called the 918 RSR. This unassuming race car features 767 horses of pure track eating power. Get this though, not a jet engine to be found.

Now then, reading this started me off thinking so I searched for some more articles on the subject and discovered some more niceposts! i.e. 2011 International Car & Auto Show drives into Baltimore February … by jillrudnicki, posted back in January, on Baltimore Blog:
