Porsche has been chasing speed since the company came into being seventy years ago. It's a relentless endeavor to go as fast and as quickly as they can using whatever they have at their disposal. Sometimes it comes in the form of borrowing Nurburgring time from Chevrolet. Sometimes it involves using a 935 to deflect air for a cyclist's world land …

Seven Decades, Seven Iconic Porsches. What Are Your Porsche Icons?
The latest video feature from 9:11 Magazine is not nine minutes and eleven seconds long. Instead, this three and a half minute video is short and to the point. According to the magazine, over seven decades, these are the seven most iconic Porsches. Some models seem destined to be on virtually any list of Porsches, but do all the ones chosen deserve …

In Porsche's most recent Top 5, the final video of season 2, Wolfgang Porsche himself is on screen to talk about the cars from his collection that resonate most with his sensibilities. Like the rest of his family, he's a sensible German man with a fun side. He likes to enjoy the finer things in life, like a pair of string-back driving gloves and a …

It's hard to say whether the 914 or the 924 is the most maligned Porsche model. Both were burdened with underpowered engines, and both were jointly developed with the giant conglomerate that is VW-Audi. The 914 of course coming from the VW side, and the 924 from the Audi side. Magnus Walker's 924 Carrera GT is a rather different animal. Developed …

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.

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 …

Hans Mezger is 88 years old, and his career designing engines spans decades. Mezger's hands were in everything from the 1960's Porsche Formula 1 racers to the 911 GT1. His engines remained in 911s through the 997 GT3 4.0 and 997.1 Turbo. It really feels as though everything Porsche produced since is compared to the Mezger flat-sixes. This family of …
