We Hit the Road in a Porsche Panamera V6

9/6/20107:18 estFiled to: Porsche PanameraBy: Christian Maloof

Porsche Panamera at Barber Motorsport Park

As with many Porsche lovers, I wasn’t sure what to make of the Panamera when it first appeared over a year ago. I still wasn’t too sure when I first saw it in person at my local dealership, but by now it has definitely grown on me. While I originally saw signs of Corvette in the larger front end wings, now I see Porsche gracefulness and appreciate …

Can a Porsche Cayenne Really Handle Off-Road Driving?

8/22/20106:05 estFiled to: Porsche CayenneBy: Christian Maloof

Turns out the Cayenne likes to surprise people. It looks like an SUV, but it sure doesn’t drive like your average SUV. It looks like a big car, but it corners like a sports car. It may seem heavy, but it doesn’t behave as if it is, and because of those beautiful brakes, it sure doesn’t stop that way. And just when you start believing it’s a fancy …

PCCB brakes on 2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

As a long-time Porsche enthusiast, I’ve been asked to name my favorite Porsche more than once. My answer is usually the same: one of the Brumos 59s, the Martini-liveried 917, the Mobil 1 GT1, a 993 RS or a 997 GT3. But how about a 2011 Cayenne? I know some of the more hardcore Porsche devotees have mixed feelings about the Cayenne. Our …

What’s one thing that makes getting lost fun?

7/21/20105:06 estFiled to: Porsche Cayenne, Porsche PanameraBy: Christian Maloof

Black Porsche Panamera V6 at Barber Motorsport Park

Getting lost on the way to the track is no fun, with one exception: Porsche just handed you a 2011 Panamera V6 and an elaborate route to delay your trip between the airport and Barber Motorsports Park, where you're scheduled to further explore Porsches on-track and closer to their limit then you could ever get on the road. PorschePurist is …

Porsche's Dirk Werner

The Porsche Purist team sat down with Farnbacher Loles driver Dirk Werner last summer at Mid-Ohio, one of the foremost race tracks in the Midwest (and, arguably, the U.S.) It was a hot day, yet Werner was still fresh after coming off his practice session in the #87 Farnbacher Loles Porsche. We had first met Dirk informally at Watkins Glen, …
