Six minutes and forty seven point three seconds (6:47.3). That's the record crushing time Porsche's new GT2 RS recorded as it lapped the Nurburing Nordschleife. For those counting, that's nearly five (5) full seconds faster than the previous record held by Lamborghini's Huracán Performante (not to mention more than 5-seconds faster than the 918). …

Master detailer Larry Kosilla recently performed major surgery on his 964 C4. Larry's modified 964 received an all-new roof with no sunroof, in order to shave weight and increase the rigidity of the structure. At more than 3,200lbs, the 964 weighs about as much as a 997 Carrera 4, making Larry's chosen modification path a slightly surprising one. …
Continue to the full articleIs the GT3 Touring Better Than a 911 R? Let’s See How They Compare.
In my eyes, Porsche has been on a roll lately just turning the dial on certain models just a bit. Does the Carrera S need to be turned to 11? Yes, of course, so we have the Carrera GTS. Could the GT3 benefit from being dialed back to 9.5? Again, yes. The new GT3 Touring fills that niche beautifully. When I first saw the GT3 Touring, I was a little …

Sometimes you don't realize how bad something is until it's fixed. You plod forward, never knowing how much better things could be with a reasonably simple change. Apparently, that is how I felt about my ECU. The ECU, I always felt had slightly sloppy fuel mapping compared to a modern car, but it was thirty years old and that was sort of …

Porsche launched the new generation Cayenne SUV late last month, and it was clear then that the new Turbo wouldn't be far behind. The new Turbo carries over the updated, aluminum-intensive bodyshell from the new base Cayenne. The increased level of standard equipment improves over even the V6-powered Cayennes. Of course, being the Turbo, this …

With a rear roll-bar, fixed back seats and an audacious rear wing, the GT3 is an extremely focused tool. The newest addition to the lineup, the new GT3 Touring Package, couples the aggressive chassis and 500 horsepower naturally aspirated powerplant to a more civilized interior and understated rear wing.

There are unlikely stories, and then there is this. Five designers working for a Chinese car company, using company facilities in their off-hours, create a hypothetical Porsche racecar, one we've covered before. Drawing inspiration from both the 917 and 908, and incorporating modern Porsche design language, they create a model. They create a …

I get to drive and photograph some very cool cars for a living, and for that I consider myself very fortunate. In that regard, Chris Harris is a much more fortunate. But, when you've experienced as many cars as Mr. Harris, do you become prone to making some absurd comparisons? Simply based on the title this latest video, comparing a 911R to a …

I can't think of any other Porsche "customizer" that polarizes our community more than Nakai-San and his Rauh Welt Begriff (RWB) body kits.
