Porsche nomenclature can be confusing. In the world of 356s, the Carreras were the top of the heap. The lightweight quad-cam Carreras and Carrera 2s were the GT3s of their day; they were deeply specialized, performance-first machines. Today, however, the Carrera name denotes the bottom of the 911 hierarchy. The SC/GT fit somewhere between the …

Around the world in a lifted 928 S4
Safari and rally style Porsches are the hottest thing at the moment. From Leh Keen's 911s to ASFOLT's 924S, getting a bit more clearance under a Porsche seems like the hippest thing in the world. To our knowledge though, no one has seriously attempted to build a Safari-style 928. With a palpable sense of Gallic imperturbability Philippe Delaporte …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar1yHoaWMUs There's nothing quite like going for an early morning drive across the Southern California desert in a vintage aircooled 911. The folks at CPR Classics have the right idea here, as they bomb across the wide open expanses in a 1971 911S. If you've never had the glorious experience of desert driving like …

For Porsche, one of the most successful brands in motorsports history, it can be hard to stay humble. In recognition of their new effort, Porsche has created a video to remind everyone that new circumstances require starting anew, not resting on their laurels and past successes. This eighty-eight second video below doesn't tell much about the …

We love Leh Keen's Safari 911s. In keeping with our belief that the 911 is a perfect all-rounder, lifting one and fitting knobby tires seems to take nothing from the experience. Mr. Keen's cars are brilliant, and Matt Farah's personal car is one of the most interesting of the lot. Farah's Safari is finished in Cassis Red, a rather polarizing and …

Restoring an early Porsche 911 Turbo is an expensive venture. Parts can be expensive, paint is costly, and the value of the cars today makes even minor modifications something worth lengthy consideration. This example, introduced in 1979, avoids most of the pitfalls of Porsche restoration. With just a handful of parts to consider (only six of which …

With two IMSA GTD class championships to her name, Christina Nielsen is killing it in the world of motorsports. In 2016 she became the first female racing driver to win a major series championship in North America. Following two successful years with Scuderia Corsa, in 2018 she joined Patrick Long at Wright Motorsports. With Porsche, Nielsen won …

"For those of you hoping to hear stories about racing, you will be disappointed. I am going to talk about gardening," is a rather inauspicious start to three quarters of an hour with one of the top drivers in history. To Ickx, however, it's a logical place to start. When he reached driving age at 16 his goal was to become a gardener or a …

In the words of driver Jim Bouzaglou, "It doesn't matter what kind of car it is, we all get the red mist." At VARA's 50 Years of 240Z event, Jim has a surprisingly wide variety of cars to run down. The pits are positively laden with Datsuns, from BRE cars to brightly-liveried privateers of all sorts. Despite the focus on Datsuns, the grid in Jim's …

Sometimes we have to play the hand we're dealt in life. This 1972 Porsche 911S Targa was destined from birth to head over to Japan and sit unused for decades. It's a sad existence, but if it had not been subjected to hardships, it wouldn't be living the life it has now. Alan Drayson of Canford Classics in the UK found this JDM 911S under a lean-to …
