Thirty-eight historic Porsches graced the straight at Laguna Seca for the Rennsport VI family photo. Thirty-six cars, and two Porsche tractors.

Perhaps that speaks to just how special …

Walking through Grand Central Station about a year ago, I stumbled across a Leica camera club. They were bedecked in Leica t-shirts, Leica hats, and Leica-branded camera-straps, and it seemed that half of what they were photographing was one another with their hilariously expensive cameras. It was disturbingly self-indulgent, and placed the product …

Most rally fans know the hallmark sound of an anti-lag system. First used in Formula 1 in the 1980s, anti-lag systems are designed to keep a turbocharger spinning while off throttle.

To say our interest is piqued by the Porsche Taycan is an understatement. By the numbers the Taycan seems pretty exceptional; more than 600 horsepower, more than 500 kilometers of range, and a sub-3.5 second 0-60 sprint are all cause to be excited.

It's amazing how much detail LEGO can cram into a small space. Their Mini Cooper kit, and indeed most of their large-scale models, are 16 studs wide. The Speed Champions series are 6-studs wide. Some dreams require just a bit more room. At a full 32 studs across and 68 studs long Sariel's R/C 917K dwarfs most of LEGO's in-house creations. Add to …

After a bad riding accident Lisa Taylor swapped horses for Porsches, and built up a secret collection worth drooling over. Though she had owned Porsches since the early 1980s, a 911 replaced her first-generation RX-7 in 1981, it wasn't until later that Lisa caught the collecting bug.
