Back in 1978 Hot Wheels released a 924 in 1:64th scale, as is tradition for them. It had blackwall tires, and the same 5-spoke styled plastic wheels seen on most Hot Wheels of the day. About a decade later Matchbox released a 944 Turbo. I had one, it was green, the Porsche crest was huge across the hood, and the doors opened. It was a neat car. …

While a strong enough will and disregard for appearances can stick LED strips to anything, it is not the way to aesthetic harmony for your Porsche. From the factory Porsche's aesthetics tend toward distinctive, yet understated. While the brand is not immune to following the trends of the moment (I'm looking at you, side strakes on slantnose 911s), …

For those of us who drive on the street, tire pressure probably doesn't get a lot of consideration. Porsche includes recommendations in the manual, and frankly, why not use them? Of course, when driving deviates from the daily grind, tire pressures become a lot more important. Whether using your Porsche for a track day, autocross, or road rally, …

We're well into the second half of 2018 now, and Porsche's month-to-month growth shows no sign of slowing. Indeed, save for Cayenne sales in North America, all models are up in 2018. The sales figures tell just part of the story, as Porsche's increasing investments in new fields are beginning to have larger and larger effects on the company as a …

Last month we received a name: Taycan. As evocative as Mission E was for a concept, it was clear that it wasn't going to cut it in Porsche's current naming scheme. The name is apparently roughly translated from Uzbek and is meant to invoke a "lively young horse." Upon looking at the recently-released specifications, this will be a very lively young …

According to 356C owner Catherine Sutton, "the whole point of owning an old car is that it's a choice rather than a chore." Despite the work that comes with owning something antiquated, that is a truth that rings through for all old cars. What does not ring true for all is the feeling of harmony Catherine gets from her 356C. In a classic Porsche …

Now a new Smart Glasses-based VR feature gives a futuristic look at Porsche heritage.

The Goodwood Hillclimb course up the Duke of Richmond's driveway is 1.86 kilometers (1.16 miles) long. A blazing fast run up the hill takes about 50 seconds, and includes nine corners and a number of hazards for the racers. One of the straights is stone lined, a far cry from nice, soft Armco. While a fast car can make short work of the hill, could …

I respect a deeply focused tool. The Land Rover Defender remained very true to its original intent right through the end of production. Wranglers only began attempting to be comfortable relatively recently. If the sort of sport you prefer frequently takes you miles off the beaten path, having the correct vehicle is key. But with that comes …

It seems that sometime in the late 1990s people that made skate videos split into two camps. One camp went down the rabbit hole of CKY and Jackass, while the rest wanted to show the world that what their parents dismissed as boorish and juvenile could be beautiful. We will probably reap the benefits of beleaguered skaters for decades, as the look …
