24 Variations on a Theme: Picking the Right 911 Derivative
Ford currently produces eleven Mustang derivatives, and Chevrolet makes eight Corvette variants(both of these figures include the coupe and convertible variations of the same trim separately). That's a lot of choices from a nation known for customizing and individualization. Where variations on a theme are concerned, the Americans cannot be …

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.

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.

According to Jeff Zwart, the distinctive sound of a Porsche six-cylinder engine is what drew him in to the brand.

Walking through Grand Central Station about a year ago, I stumbled across a Leica camera club. They were bedecked in Leica t-shirts, Leica hats, and Leica-branded camera-straps, and it seemed that half of what they were photographing was one another with their hilariously expensive cameras. It was disturbingly self-indulgent, and placed the product …

Part of the beauty of a restoration is in the search. We are hunters as a species and we delight in scouring the globe -- or usually the internet -- to find just the right project car for our needs. Once you uncover the perfect barn find Porsche the real fun beings. In my years in the Porsche community I've known countless fools who restore cars …

Most rally fans know the hallmark sound of an anti-lag system. First used in Formula 1 in the 1980s, anti-lag systems are designed to keep a turbocharger spinning while off throttle. Most systems produce a loud "pop," often accompanied by visible flames. Though some owners of modified cars will tolerate the occasional fireball, a new Turbo S owner …
