How is that for a superlative? When the first 911 Turbo Carreras came to the United States in 1975, they produced 234 horsepower. In 1975, that was the most potent street legal 911 money could buy. Fast forward to 2017, and the most powerful street legal 911 produces 700 horsepower. Let that sink in for a moment. Near-as-makes-no-difference that is …

This Is the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and It Was Unveiled During a Video Game Conference
Normally, when Porsche unveils a new model, especially something like a 911 GT2, you think Geneva, New York, LA, maybe event Detroit. What you don't think of, however, is the stage of the Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3 for short. However, that's exactly where Porsche just unveiled the 911 GT2 RS during the introduction of the newly-announced …

With artists ranging from Andy Warhol to Sandro Chia and Jeff Koons having painted or designed cars for BMW, it's likely they are the most famous car marque known for art cars. However, Porsche is no stranger to them either. Officially, Porsche put a toe in the water of art cars with their exhibition of 24 painted GT2 bonnets at their Museum in …
Continue to the full articleThe New 911 GT3: Is It as Good as a 911R?
To Jethro Bovingdon, yes. Yes it is. He already established that he loves the 911 GT3 on track, and now on the road, the story seems much the same. In the rain, mist, and greasy conditions often suffered by English journalists, the GT3 shone. How then does it compare to the instant-classic 911R? Does the ostensibly more focused GT3 give the …

It wasn't even two months ago that Porsche's GT Department head, Andreas Preuninger, mentioned how he and his team were no longer focused on lap-times. "We are taking a lot of care about the driving emotion," said Preuninger, in an interview with Road & Track. "Not so much stubbornly, seriously, German-ly chasing lap time, lap time, lap time," …

When I was first coming of age as a "Car Guy" I loved the 996 GT3. To my eye it was the first 996 to look "right," and it was powered by that wonderful Mezger six. To a teenager, what could be cooler than a factory hot-rod 911? Since the early 2000s the GT3 has evolved dramatically, and has made itself a staple of performance car comparisons, and a …

UPDATE: It's official! The leaked press release mentioned below was the real deal so all information posted is accurate. For all intents and purposes, and despite Porsche's best efforts, it looks like the details of the new 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 were leaked ahead of the press conference scheduled a few hours from now in Geneva. According to a …

The cold hard truth is that unless you belong to a group of friends with a hugely diverse number of cars, it's unlikely you'll ever get to drive as many different Porsches as Matt Farah. That's what I like so much about his "One Take" series. It's a chance for the rest of us to get some virtual seat time in almost every Porsche ever built, …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl_g5grZ1DY Matt describes the GT3 as "about the limit of racecar for the street", because anything more hardcore is something you don't want to drive everyday, and to me that makes perfect sense. The GT3 is the sweet-spot of street-ability, and is legitimately a car that you can drive to the grocery store, or …

Earlier today, at the Paris Motor Show, Porsche introduced their newest version of the venerable 911 GT3 Cup for the 2017 motorsport season. Based on the refreshed 991.2 generation of the 911, the new race car makes use of the 4.0 liter flat six found in the GT3 RS. Power for the GT3 Cup car is up over last year for a total of 485 horses. …
