Purity be damned, early water-cooled 911s and Caymans do lend themselves well to V8 swaps. In most cases the engine winds up right where Porsche intended, taking place of the flat-six. While this can require fiddling with the bulkhead in mid-engined cars, drivers do seem to welcome the update. A French custom shop, however, is taking a different …
Continue to the full articleIs a Panamera-Based Coupe or Convertible Imminent?
At this point a Panamera-based two-door car is purely theoretical. All we have to work with are fresh grindings from the rumor mill. Theories about Panamera-based coupes and convertible have been circulating for years, and feel quite reasonable given the big sedan's family resemblance to the dearly-missed 928. Ten years on from the Panamera's …

We love Leh Keen's Safari 911s. In keeping with our belief that the 911 is a perfect all-rounder, lifting one and fitting knobby tires seems to take nothing from the experience. Mr. Keen's cars are brilliant, and Matt Farah's personal car is one of the most interesting of the lot. Farah's Safari is finished in Cassis Red, a rather polarizing and …

Restoring an early Porsche 911 Turbo is an expensive venture.

In the words of driver Jim Bouzaglou, "It doesn't matter what kind of car it is, we all get the red mist." At VARA's 50 Years of 240Z event, Jim has a surprisingly wide variety of cars to run down.
