At 8.42 1966 911s long, the $16-million Dynamiq 115 Hybrid is not a particularly large vessel. The largest yacht in the world, the Azzam, is just over five times Dynamiq's length. The GTT 115 Hybrid offers Porsche virtues in a luxury yacht, and packs a lot of functionality in a relatively small hull. The list of features and trims evokes Porsche …
Continue to the full articleIntroducing the Porsche 911T. The Lightest Modern 911 Yet!
There are now eight families of 911. There are the Carreras, the GTS, the Targa 4, the Turbo, the Turbo S Exclusive Series, the GT3, the GT2 RS, and now the 911 T. If you count each body style family variant individually, there are now 23 distinct 911s to choose from. Where does the new 911 T fit in? It shares its 370 horsepower, turbocharged …
Continue to the full articleOne Take: 600 Horsepower Andial-Powered 964 Turbo
GT2s excepted, the 964 was the last widowmaker 911 Turbo. Lots of power, lots of boost, and trailing arm rear suspension made for a much trickier Porsche than the 993 Turbo which followed. Even stock, this is a car that wants you dead. As they say; the closer you are to death, the more alive you feel. Of course, the best approach to modifying such …

I understand that this site was once called Porsche Purist. I am not from that crowd. My affection for the transaxle cars is well documented, and I've always preferred the 356 to the 911. When I heard that the Boxster and Cayman were going to flat-four power, I was bothered less than most. When I ultimately heard the cars, however, I found them a …

Few post-war circuits are as legendary as Fuji Speedway. From James Hunt and Niki Lauda's epic battle at the end of the 1976 season, to intense JGTC competition, Fuji really hosts it all. The most recent round of the WEC's 2017 season, the Six Hours of Fuji, did not result in victory for Porsche in any class. While Porsche LMP1 and GT cars finished …
Continue to the full article9:11 Magazine on Balance
While the last issue of Porsche's 9:11 magazine focused on quality, the latest focuses on balance. To Porsche drivers, balance has always been important, as Porsche's traditional sports cars are not intrinsically balanced in the same way as other, more conventional sports cars. To a Porsche driver, balance comes down to not just the balance of the …
Continue to the full articleThe Widest 356? West Coast Customs’ 356-Cayman Mashup in Motion
A 356 is a tiny car by modern standards. At 65.4" wide, a 356 is narrower even than a current Mitsubishi Mirage(65.6"). Most 356 variants are also shorter in terms of height than Project 944 GTS, and around 18" shorter in overall length than my 944. Stretching one to fit over a 987 Cayman then, is no mean feat. West Coast Customs managed to combine …

Yes, a mini update. For some reason, I expected replacing the rear shocks on Project 944 GTS would be a more time consuming job than it wound up being. Instead, replacing the rear shocks with Konis on this Porsche was easier than changing the oil. The improvement in performance and ride quality from this simple change was pretty incredible given …
Continue to the full articleIntroducing U-924, The Deutsch Marine’s Latest Porsche Based Submarine
As part of a radical new cost saving measure, the German Navy is testing a new type of submarine to augment the Type 212 currently in service. Based on Porsche 924s, the new type promises to cost substantially less than the ~500 million Euro cost of the Type 212. With 924s available seemingly by the dozen on Craigslist for less than $5k, this …
Continue to the full articleThis 356 Proves It’s More Fun to Drive a Slow Car Fast
I know what this website is called, and I admit my bias in favor of Porsche's classic flat-four models. I love the 356. After Studebakers, these were the first classics to really capture my imagination. Seeing someone as jaded by high-horsepower monsters as Matt Farah getting his kicks in a 356 warms my heart. The owners of this blue 356A sent Matt …
