Last year Porsche delivered a working concept of something called a "3D-printed bodyform full-bucket seat" which more or less looks pretty similar to the carbon fiber buckets already found in some of the higher-performance versions of 911 and 718 models. The bucket seat's padding is typically quite minimal, but Porsche is working on a new …

Comparing Two Generations of Porsche 911 GT3 RS on British Backroads
Not many have the option to own either and fewer the option to own both. Some do, and their appreciation of these cars deserves special attention when they go as far as ordering two successive generations of the same hardcore model in the same color. Both the 997 GT3 RS and the 991 GT3 RS are versatile enough to work well on the road, despite …

Any car nut would figure the standard GT3, devoid of big wings and louvers over the , would be the best on the public road. Less keyed in, less assertive, less likely to tramline, and much more accessible to the average driver—these are all traits that one would want when the road is pockmarked and uneven. However, when the straights are …

I mean, why not? After spending your entire life racing very quick, lightweight, and unbelievably agile vehicles, your standards rise to stratospheric levels. For that reason, it grows harder and harder to enjoy a capable road car—even a very quick one—as it usually feels incredibly lethargic in comparison to that incisive single seater or …

Though we all acknowledge the advantage four-wheel drive offers off the line, how valuable is it when compared to a rear-wheel drive machine renowned for its traction? Both the 911 Turbo and the GT2 RS have the weight in the right place for launching—which, by the way, both do without the possibility of driver error. However, a combination of …

A few years ago, we discussed the idea of a GT3 Cabriolet (below). Some of us thought it was a great idea, and others not so much. It took almost five years, but Porsche finally built something that is basically the 991 GT3 Cabriolet that we asked for, but better. Consider the 991.2 Speedster a send off for the chassis. This is among the last cars …

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. In any event, it's not unusual to see a fairly standard 911 hanging with cars …

In addition to being Porsche's most famous brand ambassador, Mark Webber is a genuinely warm-hearted bloke. Never staid, tight-lipped, or solemn, the affable Aussie has natural charm that is only bettered by his superhuman driving ability. Those two qualities come in quite handy when guiding a tennis star around a testing circuit in a very quick …

We knew it was coming, we knew it would be limited, and we knew what it would look like, but it's still a joy to see the 991.2-generation Speedster finally in production-ready trim. Only 1948 examples of this open-top 911 will be built, and it's likely that its most of the way to being sold out by now, if it isn't already. What you're looking at …
