Most cars brought above what they were expected to, but there were certainly a few surprises, unfortunately not always in the positive. Here, we will list every single …

Perhaps a living sculpture of a 356 is to your taste? Topiary Joe has got you covered.

The famed CTR Yellowbird was introduced to the world twenty-four years ago. Long time fans of RUF-built Porsches will be well familiar with that car, and will be excited to see a return to roots with their newest model, introduced at the Geneva Auto Show, the "RCT". This new 991 Carrera S based supercar has all of the elements of the RUF we all remember; one part Porsche, two parts insanity. The …

Most who have had the good fortune to own or drive a Porsche Cayman know just how good they are. In fact, way back when they were first introduced to Porsche's newest sports car we weren't that interested but were quickly converted after our first drive. In fact, as you can probably guess by the fact that we publish this site, there's a good chance we would never even consider an Alfa. That's …

Just last week we got to see Autocar Magazine's Steve Sutcliffe toss a Macan Turbo S around the Porsche test track in Leipzig. He even received a reprimand for "drifting" on all season tires. After calling the Macan a "really fast, and really well composed" car we asked if the Macan Turbo isn't more high riding Cayman than junior Cayenne. This week, Sutcliffe is back at it. This time, however, …

Porsche engineers will occasionally step out of their calm, precision engineered, white-lab-coat safe haven into a zone called "insanity". Projects that have sprouted from this zone include the bonkers Carrera GT, the absurd 918 Spyder, and the almost-requires-a-straight-jacket 911 GT2. When Porsche lets their engineers run wild, they build cars that are capable of mighty feats in the proper …

Facts and figures, numbers and data; sure they are important, but they don't tell the whole story. Nowhere is that more true than in Porsche's Macan. On paper, the Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo S look like nothing more than soccer mom mobiles, albeit rocketship-quick ones.

While the average Cayenne owner will never test the off-road capabilities of their Porsche, they are actually quite capable. That off-road aptitude translates extremely well to winter driving, especially when equipped with proper winter tires. Nokian is taking things a step further with the first non-studded winter tire with studs, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta concept tire. Even better, this new …
