Nicolas Werver's 997 GT2-based racer is a striking collection of parts. Though once a street car, the current car wears the bodywork of a GT3 R, and the attendant downforce helps give the man some real certainty when trying to drive this wide-hipped monster along narrow mountain roads. In addition to the racecar's hide, he's added a few custom …

As part of the grand celebration of the 917's 50th birthday, several major names were given the chance to parade some of the most iconic variants of the car at Goodwood's 77th Members' Meeting last month.

A large part of the 911 RSR's charm is the sound it makes. The sublime climb from a throaty growl to a screaming crescendo is something anyone can appreciate, provided their eardrums are functioning.

With his usual Ford Escort steeds in the shop for repairs, Portuguese hillclimber José Silvinho Pires had to resort to using something else for his latest trip to the Rampa da Falperra hillclimb.

It's often said that Porsche horsepower is a little more potent than other marques' horsepower. Perhaps having the motor so close to the driven wheels minimizes drivetrain losses, or maybe there's simply a bit of magic at work between the broad haunches of a Porsche.
