Some days back I installed the latest version of the Google Chrome Browser on my PC and it offered me some free themes. One of the themes my eyes fell upon was the Porsche theme in which all the previous generations of the Porsche have been lined up. So, for all the Porsche fanatics out there, download and install the Porsche theme for Google Chrome from the Official Link -> https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html
Acc to the Head of Development at Porsche, the priority for the crisis-hit company was to produce a car significantly cheaper (read less expensive) than the current "bottom-of-the-range" Porsche Boxster that costs a mere $67 778 (Rs 30 Lakhs, approx)
Acc to the company, this will be possible primarily due to the company’s recent merger with volkswagon (VW).
Porsche said last month that sales had slumped by 24 percent in the financial year to July 31 but expressed optimism that the worst of the crisis was now a thing of the past.
