"It's a brand new approach, but Porsche has a lot of experience with many other cars. There is also Cayman, a mid-engine car, and we have some data from that. So, we didn't start from a white page completely." Those are Patrick Pilet's words, not mine. I'm not trying to say the new 911 RSR is a Grand Cayman, but experience with the Cayman certainly …

Make a Porsche too soft, and it doesn't work on track. Make a Porsche too hard, and it doesn't work on the street. Trying to toe that line is a major challenge in any suspension build, and one I will struggle with during Project 944 GTS. While the Cayman GT4 is pretty hardcore for a production Porsche, it is still daily drivable. When Jason Overell …

Where to store a large car collection can be an extremely difficult question to answer. Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage is a wonderful facility, but much of it is more museum than garage. Perhaps more importantly, even for Jay it's a destination. He doesn't live on site. For most of us a home which includes enough space for our hobby is the ideal …

Patrick Long's love of Porsches runs deep. He has 911s from nearly every decade of production. He's raced Porsches at Le Mans, and currently he's racing a 911 in the Pirelli World Challenge. When the time came for Project Cars 2 to bring Porsche into their game, the list of drivers to consult was probably pretty short. Not many people have both …

You know you're in a serious piece of machinery when the ignition switch appears to be better suited to setting weapons to "hot" in a fighter jet than starting the engine of a race car. This particular terrain-following missile finished second in class at the 1998 Daytona 24 Hours, before being converted for road use. Surprisingly the conversion of …

Out of six Porsches ranging from a pair of 930s to a GT3 RS, this 1974 911 Targa is Romi Mirza's favorite. A Porsche is not by its nature modest, but in that company this Targa is certainly humble. Romi had this example fully restored, from the sounds of it by Porsche Classic, and he drives it. He drives it a lot, as he says "like a Porsche is …

With artists ranging from Andy Warhol to Sandro Chia and Jeff Koons having painted or designed cars for BMW, it's likely they are the most famous car marque known for art cars. However, Porsche is no stranger to them either. Officially, Porsche put a toe in the water of art cars with their exhibition of 24 painted GT2 bonnets at their Museum in …
Continue to the full articleProject 944 GTS- Part 1: Introduction
Project Boxster Clubsport just wrapped up, it's time to change our tune. I'd like to introduce our new project car, and I'll be the first to point out that it is inconsistent with the very title of this site. It's Porsche-powered, but it's an all-aluminum 2.5L inline four, not a Flat Six. We didn't seek this car out as a project car, and actually I …

Some collections sprawl. Jay Leno has hundreds of cars across a wide array of marques, types and ideas. Some collections are unified by a single theme, whether it's classic Packards, or in this case light weight Porsches. To the collector who invited FLATSIXES.com to his home to view his stable, adding lightness was the name of the game. Inside his …
Continue to the full articleThe New 911 GT3: Is It as Good as a 911R?
To Jethro Bovingdon, yes. Yes it is. He already established that he loves the 911 GT3 on track, and now on the road, the story seems much the same. In the rain, mist, and greasy conditions often suffered by English journalists, the GT3 shone. How then does it compare to the instant-classic 911R? Does the ostensibly more focused GT3 give the …
