Year in and year out things are getting better and better for Porsche. To those of us who recall the dark days of the early 1990s, it's very welcome to see this trend in our favorite brand. 2016 was the most profitable year in the company's history, and 2017 continued this trend. As Porsche's investment in electrification and diversification of …

Narrowing down the most thrilling attributes of the GT2 RS is a challenge. The whole car is made of compressed and distilled superlatives. This 700 horsepower monster holds the top Nurburgring lap record, and exhales with such ferocity that Porsche test driver Lars Kern promises the titanium exhaust will be glowing after a hardcore track session. …

Skjoring is a lovely sport. Equal parts cross-country and water skiing, Skijoring is fast, dangerous, and apparently well suited to rear-engined Porsches. While lesser Skijorers might hitch a ride behind a horse or a team of dogs, the most intrepid head to a frozen lake hitched to a motorcar. Going back to the 1950s, Porsches have been used for …

After an altogether too-long relationship with Need For Speed, I'm ecstatic to see Porsche throw themselves into the digital realm. Porsche models now appear in Gran Turismo, the Forza franchise, and Project Cars 2 . Nine new models are being introduced to Project Cars 2, bringing the total to twenty Porsches in-game. Unlike the Forza games, …

One look at the RUF SCR's underlying structure will tell you that it is not a 911. This new special, which just debuted at Geneva, is something else entirely. Like the new RUF CTR, which debuted last year, it is based on a proprietary chassis full of very un-Porsche traits. The SCR is based on the same tubular structure as the new CTR, and uses the …

There are very few Porsche Top 5s the 917 can't win. Top 5 iconic motorsport models? For many people, that's 917, though Derek Bell understandably disagreed. Top 5 wildest Porsches ever used on the road? That's also a fight between the 917 and 962, but my nod still goes to the 917 thanks to Count Rossi and Joachim Grossman's bonkers road cars. Top …

In an era of ballooning waistlines for ordinary cars, Porsche's commitment to lightweight stands out. In 1991, a new Volkswagen Jetta GLI 16v tipped the scales at a bit under 2,500 lbs. Today, a new Jetta GLI weighs about 700 lbs more. By contrast, a 1991 Porsche 964 Carrera 2 with a manual transmission is just over 100 lbs lighter than its modern …

On paper I like the Turo business model, and I like car clubs like Classic Car Club Manhattan. As someone who doesn't have the money to buy numerous exciting cars, they can be a good way to try a variety of interesting cars. Of course, for people with higher budgets, becoming partial-owners of a high-dollar car is a very effective way to trade in …

Is there any higher form of cheap entertainment than an empty parking lot the morning after it snows? In my formative years we always preferred our local baseball park's lots after a snowfall. It was guaranteed to be empty in the dead of winter, and was seldom cleared quickly. I wouldn't be shocked to find that scars dug by my Golf's studded …
