This three-way dance could inspire feelings of hatred or admiration for different generations of Porsche, depending on your own driving style. Clearly, our camera man, sitting behind the wheel of a well-sorted 993 RSR, is the winner where talent is concerned. However, at the ultra-fast Magny Cours, power goes a long way in compensating for lack of …

Porsche's been somewhat cagey about releasing any footage of its newest performance flagship since it set that incredible Nurburgring lap two months ago. We've learned about the 991 GT2 RS' comfort and sophistication compared to other generations of the GT2, and we've seen just how quickly it sprints to 200. We also know how it was able to outrun …

Though the 993 GT2 might be known as a wild fire-breather to most, it seems one Dutchman found it a bit tame for his tastes. This monster, based off a 964 Turbo but turned into a wild 993 Evo replica, is tuned by Belgium's DUXE to produce obscene grunt and deploy it without a hiccup. Though they're a bit cagey about releasing the actual …

Though Dominic Dobson spent the majority of his professional career driving Indycars, he was one of the few Americans to race a Porsche 962 at Le Mans, through the narrow hairpins of San Antonio, and around the outrageous kinks at Road America. It was a car that reveled in high-speed situations, and its incredible cornering forces could impress …

There's no easy answer to the titular question, but the 3.2-liter Porsches from the mid-eighties are worth giving some serious consideration. Perhaps it's their unmistakable rasp, or those pedals mounted from the floor, but there's something exciting about this generation of the 911. Barring the turbocharged models, these simplistic 911s weren't …

As WEC is one of the world's more prestigious racing categories, it makes sense that some intriguing characters frequent their races across the globe.

Though it's not a common sight seeing a Porsche 911 go sideways in such a stylized fashion, this one does look fairly natural doing it. Tuned by KA-TUN, a Japanese racing outfit, this 964 is meant to slide gracefully at speed. To do so, it sports massive wheel spacers, Bride seats (drifters adore them), the toe and camber settings conducive to …

TPC Racing started their racing outfit in the late eighties; refining the turbocharger systems for the Nissan 300ZXs, Mazda RX7 Twin Turbos, Lotus Turbo Esprits and Consulier GTPs of the IMSA GTU series. That sort of background manifests quite clearly in two aspects of this monstrous "GT2"—the paddleboard-sized intercooler, which looks like it …

For a man who started racing relatively late in life, Patrick Dempsey has gone quite far. Sure, some of his involvement can be attributed to the fortune made from playing Dr. Dreamboat, but he's taken it more seriously than the regular celebrity-turned-racer, and learned some of the mental approach which make the best so imperturbable.
