No, your eyes do not deceive you – we said honey. Although it’s usually known for its sports cars and performance SUVs, Porsche has branched out and created a new selection of honey as part of its sustainability program. The lime blossom honey is made by the 1.5 million bees that live in the off-road area of the company’s Leipzig factory and is sold under the name "Turbienchen." Despite the 25 bee colonies only having been set up in May 2017, they have already produced around 400 kilograms (882 pounds) of honey, which is sold in the Porsche Leipzig customer center shop.

Jenkins reduces Indy 500 duties as he tackles brain cancer
Jenkins, who joined the IMS Radio Network in 1979, became the play-by-play announcer for the Indianapolis 500 at ABC, then branched out to include other IndyCar races on NBC, before becoming the Speedway’s PA announcer in 2011. However, on IMS’s Behind the Bricks broadcast with the track’s president Doug Boles, Jenkins revealed he is battling brain cancer – a disease that took his wife eight years ago. Jenkins, who attended his first Indy 500 in 1960 and has only missed two since, told Boles: “It happened on Christmas night. I woke with a severe headache. I made it to one hospital, they did a CATscan, and then told me I needed to go some place else for an MRI… “The first diagnosis was a stroke, the second diagnosis was ‘We have found two malignant tumors in your right temple and you have brain cancer.’ “But I had colon cancer in 1983, and I survived that, and with God’s help and my beloved race fans, I’m going to make it.” A clearly emotional Jenkins went on: … [Read more...] about Jenkins reduces Indy 500 duties as he tackles brain cancer
Porsche Rules Out Making That Rad Vision Renndienst Electric Minivan
It has no plans to offer a city car. The likelihood of Porsche producing its Vision Renndienst all-electric minivan concept was never high. And even if there was a chance, it’s now officially dead. Autoblog got the German company on the record, stating that it has no plans to turn its Vision Renndienst minivan into a production vehicle. While Porsche is pushing into EVs, it’s still a sports car company at its core, and a small urban runabout isn’t in its wheelhouse. Porsche Head of Global Sales Detlev von Platen told the publication that it would instead branch out into segments where “sports cars can be defined.” It’s a sad end to the funky concept Porsche revealed last November, along with a slew of other wild concepts in its company produced between 2005 and 2019. The Renndienst was one of the odder creations of the bunch, which was one of 15 designs Porsche revealed in its “Porsche Unseen” book.

Ed Carpenter Racing reveals Daly’s USAF B-2 livery for 2021
ECR and the U.S. Air Force have unveiled Daly's colorscheme that features a pattern of silver, blue and black silhouettes of one of the world’s most distinctive planes. The B-2, which first flew in 1989, went into operational service in 1997 and first entered combat in 1999 (Kosovo) remains the only stealth bomber type in the world. The B-2’s low-observable (stealth) characteristics are not only the result of sophisticated counter-surveillance materials and anti-reflective camouflage, but also the shape of the plane. Without a tail fin, and using a fuselage and air intakes that are more like blisters fully integrated into a vast wing, the B-2 echoes the designs that emerged from Northrop in the mid- late-1940s – the XB-35/YB-45 (piston engined) and YB-49 (jet). A group of select Airmen from the 509th Bomb Wing were the first to see the 2021 U.S. Air Force Chevrolet two weeks ago. Daly and members of the Ed Carpenter Racing team travelled to Whiteman Air Force Base, … [Read more...] about Ed Carpenter Racing reveals Daly’s USAF B-2 livery for 2021
