Here’s What It’s Like To Drive A Porsche 906

12/11/201912:20 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Chris CushingComment

Modern racecars are hyperbolic in nearly every sense. The tires? Massive. The brakes? Indefatigable. The power figures? Not often fully stated in public, but generally extraordinary. The array of switches? They'd make a DC-8 pilot blush. Not so the 906. The 906 is hyperbolic in one, perhaps two ways. At 580 kilograms it is lighter than any modern …

Here’s Everything You Need To Know About The Porsche Formula E Team

11/11/20199:58 estFiled to: Porsche Race Cars, VideosBy: Chris Cushing2 Comments

Porsche hasn't entered in open-wheel racing as a constructor in decades, or even as an engine supplier since the 1990s. Indeed, Porsche's last appearances as either in Formula 1 were in 1962 and 1991 respectively. The brand withdrew as an engine supplier from Indycar a year earlier in 1991. While Porsche's role in Formula E will be somewhat …

Is The 2020 Porsche 935 More Than A Pretty Face?

10/11/201912:00 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

Porsche's current king of the hill, the track-only GT2 RS-based 935, is the kind of thing that dreams are made of. With just 77 units built for worldwide consumption, not many of us will get the opportunity to wring this car's neck. Especially when you consider the massive price tag that it comes equipped with. The big wing and slicks machine is …

Manthey Tuned Porsche 993 RSR Blitzes Around Nurburgring GP Circuit

9/24/20199:52 estFiled to: Porsche 993, Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy ParryComment

One of just forty-five 993 RSRs in existence, this 3.8-liter monster is a rare sight. Despite the small numbers, those curvaceous haunches, massive tires, and snorkels in the rear make you wonder why this model is not as well known. Perhaps this example deserves some special attention, since it's Olaf Manthey's very first racing car. A little …

Chris Harris Drives the Type 64

8/13/20199:35 estFiled to: For Sale, Porsche Race CarsBy: Chris Cushing1 Comment

Porsches are often a study in contrasts. Where many models are markedly advanced in one way or another, in others they are often simple in the extreme. The 356 featured sophisticated monocoque construction, making it strong and rigid compared to the related VW Beetle. At the same time it relied on a powerplant which was, even by the mid-1950s, …

Advan/Coke-Liveried IMSA 962 Goes Up for Auction

7/31/20199:31 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy ParryComment

Most sports prototypes last only a few years before they become obsolete, but the 962 enjoyed a successful run for over a decade. With a combination of unprecedented reliability and drivability, the 962 became dominant in the mid-1980s. Rather than rest on their laurels and grow conceited with their winning streak, Porsche remained honest enough to …

Patrick Long Hustles an 800-Horsepower 935-84 Around Laguna Seca!

7/29/20192:00 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry2 Comments

Though these three laps were supposed to calm, Patrick Long didn't get the memo. Either that, or his natural talent was enough to carry him to ~1:31 laps around Laguna Seca during last year's Rennsport Reunion VI. The unspoken rule at events like these is to take things a little calmer—these cars aren't cheap—than one might in an IMSA race. Some …

Here’s Everything Porsche Changed About The New 911 RSR

7/9/20193:42 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

Porsche introduced the world to the mid-engine 911 back in 2017, and it has blown the world away with Porsche's sports car efforts since. It won Le Mans in 2018, it's netted more than a couple championships both in the IMSA series here in North America, as well as the FIA WEC international series. The switch to a mid-engine layout was made with …

Barks of the 996 GT3 RSR Bounce Off Monza’s Trees

6/28/20192:07 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

The signature bark of the 996 GT3 RSR is unmistakable to the sonically sensitive Porschephile. They recognize the dry blat-blat-blat of the 3.6-liter under deceleration and heel-toe and from years ago when they heard those same sounds bounce off the walls at places like Sebring and Daytona. The rasp, the throatiness, and the absence of gearbox …

Porsche’s Secret Formula One Engine

6/11/201910:18 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Chris CushingComment

Despite the brand's long history in motorsports, Porsche's relationship with Grand Prix racing has been full of fits and starts. The 718RSK originally competed in Formula 2 before moving to Formula 1 in 1961, where the slightly elderly car didn't prove competitive. The 804 got the brand its sole championship race victory as a constructor with Dan …
