YouTube video descriptions seldom get it so right- Sometimes it is also about the destination. In a Porsche, every trip has something special, because the vehicle itself is a good traveling companion. When the journey ends in Oregon with a few hundred of your new best friends, however, the destination takes precedence. For those of us who couldn't …

I struggle with the collector car market. On one level, it's nice to see great cars finally getting their due on the open market. The obvious counterpoint is that "getting their due" often means pushing prices beyond reason. Let's just look at Carrera 3.2s as an example- when I was in college a "good" 1987 911 Carrera 3.2 would have traded in the …

We're very familiar with Larry Kosilla's 3.8L 964 Carrera 4. While an unusual choice for a track car, Larry's 964 brings a lot of performance and a fair amount of all-weather capability to the table. Larry began a restoration of his 964 a few months ago, and first posted video of the process last week. Like many Northeast based cars, Larry's 964 …

I don't think I'm alone in thinking that today's top-tier racecars are not as handsome as their counterparts from twenty five or more years ago. Fortunately, the 919 seems to translate much, much better to LEGO than the 962 or 917 ever have. Portuguese builder Manuel Nascimento constructed both the 2015 and 2016 Porsche 919 Hybrids in LEGO Technic …

The joys of owning an old car, particularly one with a large number of power features, are often tempered with frustration. In many ways, it can be hard to avoid the fact that Project 944 GTS is 30 years old. Though the car is tight, and well screwed together, many things that you touch and interact with day to day really show their age. Plastics …

Once Porsche starts winning, it can be hard to get them to stop. In 2016, Mark Webber, Brendon Hartley and Timo Bernhard landed three consecutive wins(Nürburgring, Mexico and CotA). In 2015 the same trio managed four consecutive wins(Nürburgring, CotA, Fuji and Shanghai). This weekend's 1-2 finish at the 6 Hours of the Nürburgring is the brand's …

"Good design exists only in conjunction with good engineering." That quote, by "Butzi" Porsche himself, is how Porsche Design has chosen to introduce their first foray into modern laptop computing. On the surface, the Design Book One is a very handsome piece of hardware. Porsche being Porsche, however, we can fully expect the beauty to be much more …

While a 356's flat-four powerplant is light and compact, it is far from a desk-top piece. Giuseppe Guerini has approached this problem with an all-new 3D model of an early 356 engine, resulting in a resin model printed in 1:4 scale. Though the resin engine cannot run, the level of detail is impressive. The final build includes 250 pieces cast in …

How is that for a superlative? When the first 911 Turbo Carreras came to the United States in 1975, they produced 234 horsepower. In 1975, that was the most potent street legal 911 money could buy. Fast forward to 2017, and the most powerful street legal 911 produces 700 horsepower. Let that sink in for a moment. Near-as-makes-no-difference that is …

Where is Leh Keen when you need him? While it would have been wonderful to see him at the wheel of this 911, that is not where his services were most needed. For the first time in a "One Take" video that we can remember, Matt stumbled across the scene of an accident. The owner of the Chevrolet Malibu Matt Farah found in a ditch during the drive …
