This isn't the first Porsche pickup we've seen rendered and it's definitely not the first time we showcase something from the "Automotive Manupilator" Theophilus Chin (remember his Porsche Cayvan?).

According to the fine men and women over at Autocar, Porsche is working on a brand new executive car that will be aimed squarely at BMW's 5-series in size, and Tesla's Model S in terms of technology and likely pricing.

Theophilus Chin has been chopping and rendering cars since at least January 2009. While I don't always like everything he does, the Porsche Cayman Station Wagon (a.k.a. the Porsche Cayvan) he posted earlier this week looks like something I wouldn't mind seeing come off the production line. If his work looks familiar that's because we've …

The 918 Spyder costs well over $800,000, and within spitting distance of $1,000,000 with the right options. The 911 Turbo S can be priced near $250,000 with the right boxes checked (admittedly, …

I love listening to Dieter Landenberger (head of the historical archives at the Porsche Museum) as he describes a Porsche in the collection. He always sounds just a touch out of breath making his enthusiasm and excitement contagious. In this video below, Dieter explains Porsche's aerodynamic study from 1984. This particular prototype 911 had an …

Many think that the 964 Turbo has the designation of 965, but they are wrong. As you can clearly see in the video below, the 965 model type is a prototype designed by Porsche to be a higher volume successor to the 959. Fitted with a watercooled V-8 engine borrowed from Audi, Porsche tested this mule extensively before ultimately killing the …

Graphic designer Anthony Collard just answered the question that has been asked for nearly 20 years; 'What would a front engine Porsche revival look like?' Since the end of 1995, Porsche has stuck strictly to rear and mid-engine chassis for their sports car lineup. With the end of production of the 968 and 928 GTS in 1995, a piece of Porsche …
