It's that time of year again when Porsches are deployed to sell everything from oil, toolboxes, and shock absorbers to wheels, tires, and leather seat covers. The SEMA trade show in Las Vegas was an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the coolest cars to ever come out of Porsche's factory, and some that didn't. As has been the …

The former host of the Man Show and Loveline lives and breathes automobiles. Though his racing exploits have been documented well here, he's expanded his gearhead following with his current podcast, CarCast, which delves further into his obsession with cars—particularly his affinity for Porsches of a certain vintage. That dedication to the …

Porsche hosts a celebration of noise. How magnificent is that? Now in its eighth year, Sound Nacht has grown from its past in a large conference hall to center stage of the Porsche arena. Just under 4,000 Porsche fans showed up to come bask in the auditory triumphs of their favorite brand. The exhibition featured thirteen cars, with sounds ranging …

Before any hearts get completely shattered, as mine was upon viewing this video, the 356 appears to be a replica. Nevertheless, the story remains the same. An inattentive van driver backs in to a space at speed, completely fails to notice the pale blue 356 Cabriolet already in the spot, and shunts the car into a canal. Given the van's speed it's …

Where the new Porsche 935's sole purpose is to go fast and make noise, the original 935's purpose was rather more involved. That original slant-nosed track warrior was not merely a toy for the super-wealthy to drive and induce salivation in, it was a genuine racing car. In 1979 the 935 became the first ever GT car to win Le Mans overall, an …

Rennsport Reunion VI was among the most memorable automotive events in my recent memory. The showmanship involved on the part of Porsche's employees, their pride in the brand's history, and their willingness to talk about nothing but Porsche for the week of Rennsport is commendable. The event went off without a hitch, and I'm sure it took …
Continue to the full articleJeff Zwart on the sound that first drew him to Porsche
According to Jeff Zwart, the distinctive sound of a Porsche six-cylinder engine is what drew him in to the brand. With the possible exception of the 928, no classic Porsche really sounds right at idle. Most Porsches need to be prodded with a stick. Until you wind it up, a 356 or 914 sounds like a Volkswagen bus. The 924 sounds like an AMC Gremlin …

There are so many totally cool Porsches at Rennsport Reunion that aren't even Rennsport racers. While walking around the track for three days, I saw a ton of incredible street going Porsches. Here are ten of my favorite, in order of awesome quotient. Check them out and drop your favorites (or whether you agree or disagree with our choices) in the …

The drivers line up across the track from their mounts. Patrick Long. Patrick Pilet. Cooper MacNeil. John Oates. No less than seventeen Porsches sat across from them; vibrant, hardworking, diesel-powered machines. No, Porsche isn't looking to threaten Audi's diesel-powered endurance racing heritage; these racers are Porsche tractors. While tickover …

Thirty-eight historic Porsches graced the straight at Laguna Seca for the Rennsport VI family photo. Thirty-six cars, and two Porsche tractors. The presence of any one of these cars at a normal event would be noteworthy. If any one row of the included cars arrived at most events, it'd be the talk of the show. Perhaps that speaks to just how special …
