As Porsche fanatics, we are all racers. We may not be on track every weekend, or jet setting to new tracks, but we are the driving force behind Porsche's motorsport efforts. We are a part of the "team", even if we aren't jumping over the wall, swapping tires, or refilling fuel. We may not make the decisions, the split second corrections, or …

Last weekend at La Sarthe, Porsche's driving ace, Joerg Bergmeister, imitated the Wright Brothers in an attempt at manned flight. The problem was, he wasn't in a plane, but rather his 991 911 RSR, and he wasn't at Kitty Hawk, but rather the Ford Chicane at Le Mans. Bergmeister missed his braking point at the entry to the chicane. In past years, …

After spending a number of years at the wheel of Red Bull's successful open-wheel racers in Formula 1, Webber has left the fast paced life of an F1 driver for the fast paced life of a WEC …

The 918 Spyder is entirely crafted of superlatives. It does things that other cars can only dream about when tucked safely in their garages at night. It is a tech machine on wheels. It is, as Mike Spinelli puts it in the latest TEST/DRIVE video, "science fiction on four massive Michelins". It's a nerdy adrenaline-junkie's dream, to say the …

Porsche has a history of looking toward the future. They've been pioneering performance technology since the sixties, and don't show any sign of stopping. Whether it be the use of turbochargers in the early seventies, or the electric boost provided in the 918's acceleration range, Porsche is ahead of the curve. Whether on the race track or on the …

The original concept for the engine in this car was drawn on a bar napkin by one Mr. Chuck Beck (of replica spyder and 904 fame, among other things).

I've been a loud proponent of the 914 movement for quite a few years now. They are fantastic little cars that punch well above their weight class. They may not be the most powerful things in the world, but they certainly have more than made up for that in the handling department. When you can find a well-kept model without the car's unfortunate …

Today, though, we're showcasing a potential track toy that is just to the left of insanity, and far beyond the capabilities of 'normal folk'. The good folks at Canepa Design have this perfect …
