Germans are usually known as being subtle, refined, and under wraps. But when they let loose, they can really come up with some truly wild results. Which is why Mansory exists. This is not a company that deals in subtlety or subdued design, and the new Mansory Cayenne Turbo is absolutely a reflection of that. Not only is it bright orange, but with …

You Really Need To Watch Tiff Needell Evaluate This Boutique Porsche
It's a sad fact that Tiff Needell isn't at the forefront of automotive journalism like he once was. Still, even pushing seventy years, Mr. Needell hasn't lost that boyish enthusiasm and exuberance behind the wheel that made him a legend. Perhaps there's not a more fitting car for this man to review than an old Porsche that's been modernized to keep …

Known for blending outrageously powerful motors with understated exteriors, RUF Automobile GmbH has made quite a name for itself. But beyond the tire-smoking Yellowbirds, there are a few vehicles which, while possibly not headline material in themselves, help constitute an interesting, varied stable from a company capable of producing more than …

Last Friday a Porsche sold on the auction site Bring A Trailer for a whole lot of money. This, in and of itself, is nothing new. That sort of thing happens all the time. What made this one different, however, was the fact that the car in question was a "tribute" or "replica" selling for similar money as the real deal might command. It's not the …

It's a pity Porsche didn't continue using forced induction in their customer-oriented racing cars after the 993. True, turbochargers meant greater running costs, but the sheer grunt made the 993 GT2 racers quite special. Fortunately, some well-heeled racers feel the same way, and they've tried their level best to combine turbo power with modern …

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 …

For Guntherwerks' latest creation, the classic lines of a 993 are inflated with creatine and carbon widebody panels. The screaming air-cooled motor suits the car's obvious track-oriented focus, and yet, the interior is a palace for a well-heeled Porschephile to sit and bask in the ambiance. Sting, the newest car from the Huntington Beach-based …

The first prototype Guntherwerks 993 was unveiled at Rennsport in 2018, almost two years ago. In that time, the car has reached nearly legendary status among the Porsche faithful, but none have ever reached customer hands. We were beginning to think that we might not ever see a production Guntherwerks, but it has finally come to fruition. This …

There are so many different ways to enjoy a Porsche, and nowhere is that more evident than in Japan. It takes a higher level of commitment to be a car enthusiast in Japan. Parking [and space in general] is at a premium, road taxes are incredibly high, and aside from race tracks and mountain roads, there isn't much of an opportunity to really let a …
