Legendary driver Jacky Ickx drove this impressive machine in the 1985 running of the famed Paris-Dakar rally. Sadly, in the middle of the 8th stage, Ickx impaled the car on a large rock hidden in the sand, forcing this chassis to retire from the race.

The History of Porsche’s GTS Badge
After the base model and the subsequent S, the GTS variant is the sharper sibling. The chassis improvements over the base model make any GTS—whether it be a Cayman, Boxster, 911, Macan, Panamera, or Cayenne—feel like a completely new vehicle. More power, greater cornering support, stronger braking, and a greater sense of immediacy in every …

Love it or hate it, the 996 is an undeniably good value nowadays. With the more common models, the price point allows young enthusiasts to join the proud family of 911 owners. The GT range and more tech-heavy examples still command considerable money, and that's for good reason. At the top of the 996 totem pole are the GT3 and GT2, and those two …

While some of us might've missed the best opportunity to grab one when the 996 Turbo was selling for little more than a well-optioned Civic, it remains a bargain. In its day, its top speed was something special; just five miles per hour shy of the coveted 200-mile-per-hour-mark. But beyond the obvious straightline shove, the 996 Turbo offered a …

Additive manufacturing is the fancy scientific way of saying 3D-printed, and it's the future of automotive engineering. Porsche can design in a lot more tech to a simple piece like a piston by using this crazy new technology. And in the case of the GT2 RS (and 935), it is claimed to be responsible for 30 additional horses. Considering the GT2 RS is …
Continue to the full articleCan Porsche’s 911 Turbo S Dethrone the Taycan Turbo S as Drag King?
As the groundbreaking Taycan Turbo S has unofficially been declared as the world's drag king, it's only fair it's stacked against one of the strongest members of the petroleum-powered opposition. Both cars are as powerful as they are heavy, and the stats supplied by Porsche places them in close competition. However, we're all familiar with the …

Akira Nakai's always had a wandering eye for the air-cooled 911, but before he'd laid a hand on a Porsche, he had an affinity for the Toyota Corolla. After a decade spent building and drifting AE86 Corollas, Nakai not only started his own racing team, Rough World, but had started developing a distinct style as a craftsman. By taking what he learned …

Thanks to Elektrek for the find. If a mild sacrifice in performance doesn't dissuade you from Taycan ownership, the latest model sibling may tempt you. The Taycan base model, though lacking a driven front axle and the warp-drive function of the Taycan Turbo S, does offer significant savings and better fuel economy. Just announced yesterday by …

Whether negotiating the sinuous ribbons of surprisingly smooth tarmac in the highlands or cruising the beach-hugging roads in the south, Thailand's varied landscape offer just about everything an experienced road tripper seeks. These were the picturesque strips of asphalt enjoyed by Porschephile and publisher of Curves, Stegan Bogner. …

The 968 was, like the Boxster several years later, seen as an alternative for the aspiring Porsche owner who couldn't quite swing the $63,000 needed for a 993 in the nineties. How unfortunate. In truth, the 968 was a special vehicle, and the Clubsport version offered the discerning user enough lithe agility and surefootedness to forget completely …
