The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry. Privateer entries from multiple different Porsche-driving squads showed up to the 24 Hours of Daytona intent on winning the whole shooting match, but the cruel hands of fate had other ends in mind. From the drop of the green flag, Porsche's bad luck reared its ugly head, taking the GTLM-classified …

This IROC-Inspired 964 Restomod Might Irk the Purists
Fancy the idea of a budget RSR IROC? Well, budget must be used quite loosely in this instance, since this 911 3.0 RSR IROC Evocation— just rolls off the tongue—seems like a bargain when compared to the vehicles it takes its inspiration from. Those $1,000,000+ items are too pricey to roll to the grocery store in, let alone race in, but this might do …

"A mid-engined Miata with a flat-six," is how the Matt Million starts describing the Spec Boxster. Is it a big departure from something with less power? No, not really, but it does have some characteristics that the Miata just doesn't. Overall, it's not quite as nimble a car. The Porsche currently weighs in at 2,550 pounds—a few hundred heavier …

Race car for the road is a term that gets bandied about a bit too often these days. Often it's a moniker applied to a hot hatchback or something else quite clearly developed expressly for road use. This wild Koenig, however, is a Porsche 962 that has been modified only slightly for street legality. It's still a race car at heart, but now it has …

In 1993, production of the BTR2 began. As the second production car in RUF's lineup, it took its name from the G-body-based BTR unveiled a decade earlier. Due to a classic configuration draped in modern skin, the BTR2 was an odd product; something which straddled the fence that separates the crazy seventies and the tech-heavy nineties. The BTR …

Comparing Two Generations of Porsche 911 GT3 RS on British Backroads
Not many have the option to own either and fewer the option to own both. Some do, and their appreciation of these cars deserves special attention when they go as far as ordering two successive generations of the same hardcore model in the same color. Both the 997 GT3 RS and the 991 GT3 RS are versatile enough to work well on the road, despite …

It's been quite a long time since we've seen a Daytona 24 Hour entry list so short on Porsche entries. With the factory GTLM program having ended at the close of the 2020 season, Porsche was looking to be absent from GTLM for the first time since the series convergence in 2014. Thankfully the WeatherTech racing team stepped up to the plate from …

Its looks are divisive. Its sound and manners are too. Any car sporting a 997 Cup motor, regardless of what little insulation this oddity has, must be a little on the grating side of things. "Designed to merge technology from Cup racing with everyday life" is how the MAX 11 is introduced in this elferspot listing. Somehow, you wonder how well that …
