In another enthusiastic review from Roads Untraveled, we learn why pairing an American V8 with a German FR sports coupe is a wonderful idea. It blends what's wonderful about a Corvette with the great visibility, short overhangs, modest proportions, and exquisite interior of the 944. Surprisingly, these very different front-engine sports cars …

Donning a mule's disguise for a few laps at the 'Ring, what are likely the newest members of Porsche's GT family suggest there's a bright future ahead for the normally aspirated engine of the increasingly girthy 992's body. Based on the engine notes and the obvious bits bodywork seen here—so much is obscured by the black exterior—we can surmise …

2020 brings one of the largest Porsche gatherings in recent years to the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb. Thirteen of the fifty-one entrants are driving vehicles from our favorite marque—most of which are single-purpose motorsports products. Some of those drivers are fairly large names in the racing world; long-time racer David Donohue, as well …

In all the sports car races I've attended, it's usually the shrill scream of the RSR which forces me to cork my ears the most. The note itself is blaring, but its almost subdued compared to the deafening pops of upshifting which punctuate it. It's a high price we pay being racing fans; in my book, a little tinnitus and an almost constant sunburn …

A little over ten years ago, Marc Basseng took the Carrera GT around the Nurburgring. A man with victories in the 24 Hours of Daytona, Bathurst 12 Hour, and the 24 Hours Nürburgring took Porsche's then-flagship around the 'Ring in 7:28.71, and now a four-door sedan is within spitting distance of that time. We've been awaiting a truly fast …

There's been a long line of Hollywood stars racing Porsches, and for many of them, it's nothing but a leisurely pastime—a bucket-list item, perhaps. Michael Fassbender is not quite one of them. The actor's exploits at the wheel—easily seen in his onboards and a short video series following his journey to Le Mans—demonstrate he's far from a …

Gunther Werks' Sting has the presence of an old racing car. It squeezes 295- and 325-section tires underneath its widened carbon haunches, as well as Fuchs-style wheels and massive Brembo CCM-R brakes. It looks nothing but business, and yet its adjustable suspension makes it a civilized thing to drive slowly. I may be a bit biased, but I think …

(Editor's note: Luftgekühlt 7 has once again been rescheduled thanks to COVID-19 restrictions. The event will now take place on September 10, 2021 in Indianapolis. We have all of the updated information here in this post.) After the last seven months of confusion and disappointment, there's a little light at the end of the tunnel. Err—I meant …

His tone and cadence is Jeremy Clarkson, and his fashion sense is James May. JayEmm also has a knack for finding scenic locations and vibrant clothing. Wearing a shirt more colorful than the countryside which surrounds him, he takes this mildly tuned 996 Turbo for a casual tour to extract the pertinent bits of data for a prospective buyer. Whether …

It's a pity Porsche didn't continue using forced induction in their customer-oriented racing cars after the 993. True, turbochargers meant greater running costs, but the sheer grunt made the 993 GT2 racers quite special. Fortunately, some well-heeled racers feel the same way, and they've tried their level best to combine turbo power with modern …
