When I say that the Porsche 911 GT3/GT3 RS—particularly the 991 generation—makes one of the best sounds in the entire automotive kingdom, that's not brand loyalty talking. The scream of the 3.8/4.0-liter six is enough to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, and that's with the factory exhaust setup. When the engine is fitted with …

Jay Leno Gets Acquainted With Bisimoto’s 850-Horsepower ’75 911
It's funny to think that the M96 in the rear of this car once had a bad cylinder and a melted piston. Bisi Ezerioha, then only experienced with four-cylinder motors, saw an opportunity to resleeve the block, add Traum pistons and a handful of his own handmade internals. Now, the motor is force-fed by Turbonetics turbos, cooled by a Spearco …

Comparing Rupert Schwaiger's 800-horsepower Carrera to a 997 GT3 Cup is the stuff racing geeks lose sleep over. In the green corner, Schwaiger's machine makes twice the power and weighs less, but it doesn't benefit from the silky smooth power delivery of the Cup Car. As we see here, power and weight are important, but how that power and weight are …

John Gunderson has a knack for bringing the right people into the picture. When he wanted to blend the urgency and colorful exterior of the legendary 917 with a usable road car, he came up with this. A '73 911 Blending the classic Gulf livery, a 2,200-pound frame, and a 350-horsepower motor from Rothsport, is bound to convert even the most cynical …

While its dimensions and weight might dissuade from turning their VW T1 Bus into a track toy, some love the shock value and the surprising potential the aging van holds. In this particular case, swapping a 1989 G50 gearbox and a Porsche flat-six in the rear of the Leichtbau van, then dousing it in a very thin (because thick paint is heavy) coat of …

If you are anything like me, you have a ridiculously ambitious idea for your project car and what you want it to be like when it's "done". For many of us, a project will never truly be done, but for someone with the fabrication and mechanical skills, a full shop of tools, an intelligent and diligent staff, and an appropriate budget to finish the …

Purity be damned, early water-cooled 911s and Caymans do lend themselves well to V8 swaps. In most cases the engine winds up right where Porsche intended, taking place of the flat-six. While this can require fiddling with the bulkhead in mid-engined cars, drivers do seem to welcome the update. A French custom shop, however, is taking a different …

We've talked a bit about Bisimoto's wild 911 in the past. The car made its debut when it was featured on Matt Farah's Tuned show back in late 2015, and has been periodically spotted at SEMA and Luftgekuhlt—despite being watercooled—events since. Bisi actually tried to sell the car at a Mecum auction in 2016, but it didn't meet reserve. This car has …
