While four-wheel steering wasn't uncommon twenty-five years ago in the heyday of tech-heavy sports cars, we seem to have left some of those gizmos behind with the implied understanding that they were superfluous. Yet, with lengthening wheelbases in the current Porsche lineup and more and more weight, it's become a useful tool to make the latest …

The Behind-The-Scenes Story Of The Restoration Of 356SL ‘063’
By this point, you've probably heard enough and seen enough about the Le Mans-winning 356SL that was shown at Pebble Beach in 2016 you could probably recite its history from memory. It won its class at Le Mans in 1951, and 66 years later it's been returned to the exact state it was just before the Tricolore flag fell to start the race. In between, …

Yesterday, a tech-savvy friend of mine introduced me to a new service called Turo: a rental service that offers people the ability to rent a variety of local cars or, conversely, make their own car available for rent. Of course a background check and the required insurance helps ease the strain of lending a car to a stranger, but the laid-back vibe …

Porsche's 911 naming structure has gotten a bit out of hand lately, with things like 911 Targa 4 GTS becoming the norm, but they've stepped up that lengthy name convention with the new LEGO Big Brick 911 Turbo 3.0. LEGO recently introduced a scale model version of Porsche's iconic 3-liter 930, which comes alongside a brand new 911 RSR kit, as part …

Nine minutes and eleven seconds isn't much time to cover seven decades. The book Excellence Was Expected now covers nearly 1,700 pages. In just over nine minutes one could probably flip-book through a lot of the pages, and enjoy a few photos, but not much else. The latest edition of the 9:11 video magazine covers a lot of ground in not much time, …

I can think of just one consumer-oriented car that will run on virtually anything combustible. Chrysler's Turbine car concept from 1963 was probably the first "flex fuel" vehicle. Users reportedly ran the small turbine on fuels ranging from gasoline and AvGas to perfume and whisky. Turbines are one matter, piston engines are quite another. Most …

Typical of Porsche, expect the Mission E Tractor to be the fastest accelerating agricultural vehicle in the world. Power output is said to be north of 700 hp, all of it available instantly. Farmers are already placing …

Porsche is turning seventy years old. Sure, the design consulting firm existed before that, but as an automotive manufacturer, their roots first sprouted in 1948 with the Gmund-built 356s. It's amazing how far the company has come in the ensuing years, moving from building just a few hundred cars per year to nearly a quarter million units last …

Derek Whitacre and I seem to have similar priorities. Not all fun performance cars need to be set up for the track. Give up a little bit of spring rate, retain a bit of carpet, and suddenly the usability factor goes way, way up. That's not to say Mr. Whitacre's 1982 911SC is a mild or modest machine. This Porsche was built to attack Mulholland …
