Dear Porscheshop customer, Hi and welcome to the Porscheshop 2009 summer newsletter. Below you will find information on some of our latest products and adventures and we look forward to seeing you out and about at various events this year. Best wishes for the summer, the Porscheshop team.
QUICKSILVER EXHAUST SYSTEMS
The ultimate sports exhaust system for the Porsche range. The QS Titanium ‘Titan-Sports’ system is almost half the weight of a standard system. Importantly, weight is removed from the very rear of the car so balance and performance are profoundly improved. The system is designed to enhance flow and throttle response while emitting an engineered sound that will rise in pitch with revs. This allows for an acceptable yet sporty sound while driving at lower speeds (e.g. in built up areas) and also constant engine speeds (e.g. over long motorway journeys). The welding techniques employed are exceptionally precise. This helps to optimize internal flow which balances the exhaust pulses from both banks to create a smoother tone and a greater variation in pitch. Read key benefits below:
• Built from Titanium (or Stainless Steel). Fully mandrel bent and made by hand in the UK.
• Super-lightweight & improved flow enhance performance & make fitting easier too.
• Uses OE tail pipes to keep original Porsche styling.
• Read more about QuickSilver exhausts.

ADIDAS FEROZA ELITE RACE BOOTSadidas has enjoyed a long and successful involvement in motorsport through the manufacture and supply of race boots for the performing athlete. In 1974 adidas began to design the very first "fireproof" race boots that met the exacting demands of the racing driver by acquiring a Brabham Formula 1 racing car for the purposes of understanding the environment in which a racing driver has to operate. From the 1970s through the early 90s adidas became the choice of champions including Mario Andretti, Walter Röhrl, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna. Adidas continues to work with some of the world’s leading drivers including David Coulthard, Bernd Schneider & Jacques Villeneuve. |

The good news is that you will continue receiving the same security benefit, & please be assured this change will not affect the service you receive in any way. The only change you will notice, is that Sage Pay will be the secure payment provider & therefore will appear on your bank or building society statements in the future instead of Protx.
