The latest 991.2 GT3 produces 500 horsepower. Indeed, so did the 911R. Those cars have more than two decades worth of development on the base engine used for Singer's latest creation, yet their latest air-cooled flat-six matches that output. Of course, the Singer powerplant was developed by some of the most important names in the automotive world. …

Matt Farah Flogs a 700 HP Tuned Turbo S at Road Atlanta
Matt Farah's love for Porsches is well-documented, and seldom does he pass up an opportunity to try a new model out—especially when track driving is involved. He's a lucky boy, and on this particular occasion he was fortunate enough to sample Road Atlanta in an astonishingly quick, composed, and luxurious 991.1 Turbo S. Best of all—it's …
Continue to the full articleWhat We Learned About Rod Emory’s 356RSR Project At SEMA
Originally sketched out by Rod Emory way back in 2012, the 356 RSR Outlaw has been a project that he's wanted to build for quite a while. When Henrique Cisneros, owner of Momo, spotted the sketch in Rod's archives, he knew that it had to be built. From the word go, Henrique and Rod have been collaborating on this wild monster of a hot rod 356. The …
Continue to the full articleThe Widest 356? West Coast Customs’ 356-Cayman Mashup in Motion
A 356 is a tiny car by modern standards. At 65.4" wide, a 356 is narrower even than a current Mitsubishi Mirage(65.6"). Most 356 variants are also shorter in terms of height than Project 944 GTS, and around 18" shorter in overall length than my 944. Stretching one to fit over a 987 Cayman then, is no mean feat. West Coast Customs managed to combine …

Polarizing: to break into opposing factions or groupings. That's how Merriam-Webster defines the word. I can't think of any other Porsche "customizer" that polarizes our community more than Nakai-San and his Rauh Welt Begriff (RWB) body kits. From talking with Porsche owners and fans, and we've spoken to a lot of them, when it comes to RWB there …

Perhaps the appeal of a rat rod is the promise of a capable car underneath a tarnished hide. It's fair to assume that, with many rat rods, function follows form—they're artistic expressions first and foremost. Rarely are they made to be quite as incisive as this '70 Carrera, which, without any urethane in the suspension, guarantees a direct …

This Cayman is a good reminder of just how long Matt Farah has been reviewing cars on Youtube. Many years ago, when he was still at Garage419, Farah reviewed an earlier build of this same Cayman. Then at Farnbacher Loles, this Cayman was one of the company's "Cayman GTR" builds. Back then the car was powered by the same basic engine, a 911 Carrera …

Marlon Goldberg of Workshop 5001 has quite a bit of experience modifying air-cooled 911s. In addition to running his own shop, Goldberg has worked as a mechanic for Manhattan Motor Cars, as well as Singer. Given what his counterparts, and former employers, across town at Singer are known for, Goldberg's reluctance to backdate cars may come as a …

Leave it to the Hoonigans to find out. Brian Scotto's white 964 is one of the first two car Nakai-San built in the US, the first US-based RWB Turbo, and one of the first RWB turbos after Nakai's personal 930. Brian is no stranger to childish hooliganism in his 964, and this time had to find out if the car could manage a burnout. The attempt …
Continue to the full articleThis is Road Scholars’ 4.2 Cayman GTR
Some Porsches are heady, brutal machines straight from the factory. Cars like the 911 GT2, or the 930 need to be taken by the scruff of the neck and shown who is boss. The Cayman, even track-focused variants like the GTS and GT4, tend to be much more benign. Thanks to their mid-engined layout and more modest powerplants the Cayman tends to be a …
