Porsche Sets Fastest Car With A Roof Time At Pikes Peak Hill Climb
Last year Volkswagen set the world of racing on its head with an all electric prototype ID.R setting a new world record at Pikes Peak. With that overall record out of the way, there were no big players at this year's race aiming for an overall record. With the top spot pretty much a foregone conclusion as Robin Schute would be taking an open-top …

Porsche did everything it could to win the Nurburgring 24 Hour race. With seven quasi-factory, or at least factory-supported cars in the race, and most of the contracted Porsche drivers behind the wheel, the only thing that could be done was run the race. It was quite obvious after the first few stints that the 911 GT3 R was the package to have for …

While Porsche didn't quite get the victory that they were hoping for in either GTE Pro or GTE Am, the sports car maker managed to secure all four of the FIA WEC GTE class championships. This season, unlike any before it, held a pair of Le Mans 24 hour events, last June and the weekend past. Porsche won last year, but only managed to take three …

Just like last year, Porsche has amassed a full grid of ten GTE-classed 911 RSR in an attempt to take on the best comers from Ferrari, Ford, BMW, Corvette, and Aston Martin. Because this is a transition season, this weekend's Le Mans is technically inside the same "super season" as last year's Le Mans, and will decide a number of FIA WEC …

Back in the early 1960s, Porsche was still a tiny sports car manufacturer punching way above its weight in international racing. With an astonishingly small 1.5-liter flat eight motor stuffed into a bespoke chassis just barely large enough to contain the lanky Dan Gurney, the 804 was a beast from day one. While it's difficult to call it a serious …

As of 2019, Timo Bernhard is the longest-serving Porsche works driver. While his highest profile victory came in 2017, with his upset Le Mans victory, Bernhard has been putting rubber to the road for two full decades as of this month. Of the current drivers, he's also the only one to have won championships at every level of the "Porsche Pyramid." …

Fifty years ago Porsche unveiled the first production batch of the 917 race car that would transform the tiny German sportscar maker into a Le Mans winner. The first 917 chassis has spent much of its recent life in 917K bodywork with the Salzberg red and white livery. It's been sitting in the Porsche museum that way for a while, but Porsche decided …

If you're considering cutting back on caffeine, the blaring exhaust notes of these two Le Mans titans might provide that pep needed to begin the day. Truly, the sound these two big 12-cylinder engines shoved in tiny 917s get the hairs on the back of your neck standing up and your heart beating a bit faster. There aren't many motors as musical as …
