The Type 64 was many things, but it was not conventionally beautiful. Designed to make the most of a tuned, 32-horsepower variant of the Volkswagen Type I flat-four, the all-aluminum car was a masterpiece of 1930s aerodynamics. The riveted construction was strong and rigid for the day, and emulated the construction techniques used on then-current …

Watch This Singer Have An Incredibly Close Call
CODE BROWN! I'm going to need a change of shorts over here, please. When navigating the infamous Tail of the Dragon, one must exercise a little caution. Blind bends and off-camber turns dot the eleven-mile stretch of country road in Deals Gap, North Carolina, and too much gusto can lead to a very costly …

Porsche nomenclature can be confusing. In the world of 356s, the Carreras were the top of the heap. The lightweight quad-cam Carreras and Carrera 2s were the GT3s of their day; they were deeply specialized, performance-first machines. Today, however, the Carrera name denotes the bottom of the 911 hierarchy. The SC/GT fit somewhere between the …

Mark Webber Scares Tennis Pro in a Carrera 4S Cabriolet
In addition to being Porsche's most famous brand ambassador, Mark Webber is a genuinely warm-hearted bloke. Never staid, tight-lipped, or solemn, the affable Aussie has natural charm that is only bettered by his superhuman driving ability.

This is my third time attending the awesome Aircooled show put on by Pat Long, Howie Idelson, and an increasingly busy Jeff Zwart. I made the trek to Los Angeles for Luft 3 before I even owned an aircooled car. I attended last year with my 912E in the parking lot. This year I applied to be in the show and wonder of wonders they selected it to be …

Following the arrest last month of Porsche's head of powertrain development Joerg Kerner, Porsche faces an astronomical $598 million fine as punishment for the company's role in the diesel emissions cheating scandal that has played out over the last few years. Prosecutors in Stuttgart on Tuesday argued that the company had neglected legal …

There's something special about an old 912 Rat Rod. While the ragged interior might dissuade some from giving it a chance, this special 6-cylinder swapped 912 brings plenty to the table. Relatively little grip and an immensely tactile interface make it more demanding and enjoyable at slower speeds, which is why its a perfect little car for the …

Safari and rally style Porsches are the hottest thing at the moment. From Leh Keen's 911s to ASFOLT's 924S, getting a bit more clearance under a Porsche seems like the hippest thing in the world. To our knowledge though, no one has seriously attempted to build a Safari-style 928. With a palpable sense of Gallic imperturbability Philippe Delaporte …
