Currently, Volkswagen owns 49.9% of Porsche and reports here in Germany are stating that on February 14, 2012, VW will purchase the remaining 50.1% for complete ownership. According to Der Spiegel, VW will pay €3.9 billion (around $5.1B USD) to own the company that was originally started together with VW by Dr Ferdinand.

The overall takeover could mean more VW's and Porsche's will be built joint together. As of now it is said that Porsche will still act as it does currently with no change to racing and vehicle development, even though they will share the same CEO and CFO.

In a recent patent application submitted by Porsche, it shows that the next 911 turbo will have a three-turbo set up. The 3.8L flat-six will have a smaller turbo close to the engine to eliminate boost lag at low speeds and provide more off-the-line power. The other twin turbos appear to be in the same location as previous handling hard pulls and top-end power. The addition of the third turbo will also reducing emissions and improve fuel economy.

We won't see anything official for awhile since the new 911 turbo is about a year away from its debut. It is rumored to have around 550 horsepower for the base model.

Also, we can expect the tri-turbo system in the next GT2 and GT2RS.

A 2013 Boxster turbo appeared on the web recently, and while there is no official model, it does sound interesting. This is a rendering (by Milanno Artworks-2) of "what if" Porsche created it. Such a model would compete with the 911 turbo cabrio and sounds unlikely, but just the fact that it is being talked about has us thinking. Is it time for the Boxster turbo? for those who think the Boxster S is just not enough? Time will tell, as Porsche is always coming out with new variations of their models.

A recent report states that VW has given the green light for the Up! GT. The concept that was revealed had a sporty feel all around with its front end, wider grille, bigger brake ducts, rear diffuser, spoiler, twin exhaust pipes, 17-inch wheels, and LED running lights. Rumor has it that the GT will be powered by a three-cylinder turbo engine with 110bhp and six-speed gearbox.

If the Golf GTI is too big/expensive, and the Polo GTI is still a bit too big, then the Up! GT might be just right.

A recent report has come out stating that the seventh generation Golf (Mk7) will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September.

The new Golf will be longer, wider, and ride on the new MQB platform. Spy shots haven't been able to catch much detail but it's believed to have sharper styling, steeply-raked windscreen, and a lower roofline. Interior is also said to have a sportier feel (more Audi like layout) that is angled towards the driver.

We can expect the same 2.0L TSI engine and Diesel. However, the GTI could have a tweaked engine with at least 220bhp.
