Some cars are destined for an easy life right from the start. Spike Feresten's Trans Am 1968 Porsche 911L is not one of those cars.

This Is The Crash That Took The WeatherTech 911 Out of Le Mans
The WeatherTech racing team couldn't catch a break at this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. First, one of the their three drivers, Cooper MacNeil, became too sick to drive. Then, Cooper's backup, Gunnar Jeannette, was ruled ineligible to drive due to lack of the requisite number of night practice laps. This resulted in Leh Keen and Marc Miller deciding …

Porsche's newest high-performance driving experience, the 911R, doesn't have a rear wing, or any other kind of easily visible downforce-creating device, on the back.

We didn't make it to the Targa Baja California, but after seeing this film put together by one of the participants we wish we had. 62 classic cars tearing through the hills of the Baja Peninsula is a sight to behold.

Thankfully, it's been quite some time since we've seen an accident of this magnitude involving such precious cargo. The last time was when a train wreck damaged at least 20 brand new Porsche 997s. Before that, it was the cringe worthy accident involving an unlucky truckload of vintage 356s (including a Speedster or two) and a fast moving train. …

A long time ago we took a poll asking what was the best car movie ever made that involved a Porsche? That got me to thinking about car chases involving Porsches so I started surfing around on YouTube this weekend and found the video you see below. It's a clip from Against All Odds featuring Jeff Bridges (in the 911) and James Wood (in the 308) as …

Earlier this year I met up with a few members of the R Gruppe, and the conversation turned to their annual gathering, known as "Treffen".
