The\u00a0influence of the\u00a0California\u00a0market has on the management\u00a0of Porsche\u00a0AG was clearly on\u00a0display\u00a0during\u00a0the\u00a0press days leading into the\u00a0Los Angeles Auto Show\u00a0as the\u00a0German sports car maker unveiled not one but four new sports cars and\u00a0the\u00a0new\u00a0Porsche Cayenne in the U.S. for the first time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Oliver Blume, Porsche\u2019s chief executive officer, noted\u00a0that if\u00a0California was an independent country, it would be Porsche\u2019s fifth-largest market\u00a0and Porsche has always paid attention to the preferences of\u00a0enthusiasts in\u00a0California who have been instrumental in shaping the Porsche product\u00a0line\u00a0throughout\u00a0the company\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOur cars are built in Southern Germany but they always\u00a0seem to\u00a0look better here in Southern California,\u201d Blume said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The new models rolled on in Los Angeles this year\u00a0included\u00a0718\u00a0GTS versions of the Porsche Cayman and Porsche Boxster. Both cars will\u00a0come equipped\u00a0with a 2.5-liter engine and six-speed transmission. The\u00a0powertrains produce\u00a0365 horsepower and can go from zero to 60 in under four seconds.<\/p>\n

The third of the four sports cars\u00a0is\u00a0the Panamera Turbo SE-hybrid, which Blume described as the most powerful sports sedan in\u00a0world\u00a0capable\u00a0of producing 680 horsepower but also going 30 miles on electricity\u00a0only when\u00a0it is fully charged, Blume said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

California is not only known for its love of two-door sports cars but also for pioneering electric vehicles, Blume said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The final sports car\u00a0unveiled during the\u00a0press days\u00a0was the Porsche 911 Carrera T.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Porsche's new third-generation Cayenne sport-ute also hit the LA Auto Show stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Carrera T is meant to appeal to enthusiasts,\u00a0who appreciate\u00a0a two-door sports car that light weight and powerful, said\u00a0Detlev von\u00a0Platen.\u00a0It also fits neatly in the911 between the 911 Carrera and the more technologically advanced 911\u00a0Carrera S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In addition to the cars, the Germans took the bow off the\u00a0new, third generation Porsche Cayenne,\u00a0which\u00a0has\u00a0the heart\u00a0of a sports\u00a0car even though it is shaped like a utility vehicle.<\/p>\n
