Light, nimble, and sleek, a '73 2.7 RS turns heads wherever it goes, commands obscene prices, and causes Porschephiles to salivate. For the historian, this rolling museum piece represents a period in racing when the difference between a road car and a racing car wasn't as vast as it is today. In fact, the 2.7 RS wasn't originally legal in the US …

Looking at the massive center-lock BBS wheels underneath those riveted wheel arches makes one giddy. With its widened track and complete absence of amenities, the GT2 Evo oozes unmistakable purpose—a sort of purpose which borders on crude. That's part of the charm of this old-fashioned brute. The 993 spent a relatively short span of time on the …

Frankly, the sound and the speed seen in the first few seconds of the video answers this question in my eyes. Dare I say the $60,000 or so these cars are fetching is worth it for the sound of that motor alone! But there's more to this analog machine. [Note: I'm beginning to hate that term as it tends to be synonymous with "overpriced" these …

The fact that there's a large enough demographic to justify simple, pure sports cars like these is heart-warming. The pared-down, four-cylinder Alpine A110S and Porsche Cayman T offer just what's necessary for a brisk canyon run, but the scale of the companies behind these cars change their respective characters considerably.

Navigating a narrow mountain pass requires a set of characteristics which don't necessarily lend themselves to wide, fast, open road courses. When you consider the lag of an antiquated turbo motor, broad tires which tramline over the smallest surface changes, and a spool instead of a limited-slip differential, getting around hairpins doesn't sound …

The original Boxster gets a lot of undeserved flak. We're all subject to the psychology of the hierarchy when we begin to inspect the Porsche lineup more closely, and as the Boxster sits at the bottom of the totem pole, it's going to get pelted by the droppings of the big eagles perched above. Though any honest petrolhead and track rat will …

Typically, the top dogs have a deep-seated ruthlessness which leaves them divisive in the public eye, but not Bell. In this documentary on his efforts at the 1982 24 Hours of Le Mans, Bell and his peers explain why this affable Brit hasn't shied from the …

As we're quickly learning, the range of an EV is only as useful as the charging network it depends upon. Once the network is dense and widely distributed, an EV will be as versatile as a combustion engined car, and Porsche is spearheading this expansion.

https://youtu.be/Rf34n2rxzUI When Porsche opted for water cooling in the late nineties, many were affronted. Some would go on to enjoy the merits of this technology then and there, but there's no denying that with the 996 Carrera, the styling, size, and feel of the car had changed in an uncomfortable sort of way.
