900-Horsepower FrankenPorsche Blitzes up Pikes Peak
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0McJBBUiKMk With the air quite thin at the top of Pikes Peak (14,114' above sea level), forced induction is required to keep a competitive pace. Almost invariably, those at the sharp-end of the pack use turbos or superchargers, and this monster—titled "The Porsche 911 Turbo S GT3R America Cup"—uses a …

At WEC Mexico 2016, the car which started first, finished first. With untouchable performances, the two Porsche LMP1 machines finished 1-2 thanks to a fruitful qualifying session, superior race pace, and greater speed lapping backmarkers at the constrained Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Toyota simply couldn't keep in touch—though the Porsche …

Anyone familiar with Adam Carolla and his CarCast program know the admiration he has for Paul Newman. A lifelong car enthusiast, Carolla wrote a rather large check last year—for a reported $4.8M—to purchase a very special 935. Though any 935 is worth a mention, this particular example was raced to class victory by his hero at Le Mans in 1979. The …

This automotive video is a little different. There are no slider moves, car-to-car motion sequences, or directed scenes. Jeff Gamroth of Rothsport Racing wanted a six-minute action-packed film that documented the trials and tribulations a pair of Porsche 911s would face while racing 1000 miles off-road in Mexico. What resulted was Porsche …

When you hand the keys of a narrow-tired 911 T/R to seasoned veteran like Patrick Long, you can expect fireworks. Clearly, Long is focused on wringing the classic Porsche's neck and not terribly concerned with its value, but when you've driven the variety of machinery he has, at the level he has, you can't expect him to participate in a …

It’s been a little while since my last blog when I gave up some secrets on how to qualify well. This time I thought I would share some aspects about my favorite corners at Road America. We just finished a very exciting weekend for Rounds 8, 9 and 10 of the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama. A massive pileup at our previous event …

It was just under a year-a-go that Adam Carolla jumped head first into the Porsche market with the purchase of the ex-Paul Newman Le Mans' class winning 935 during the 2016 Gooding & Co auction in Monterey. While Carolla is no stranger to ex-Paul Newman race cars (it's reported he owns the largest collection of them in the world) this was his first …

Competition improves the breed, and Porsche is seeking greater competition. After 19 victories at Le Mans, including a hat trick of Le Mans victories in the last three years, and two successive WEC championships, Porsche is throwing in the towel in LMP1 in favor of Formula E. Porsche's GT program will continue unabated, as a high and diverse level …

Once Porsche starts winning, it can be hard to get them to stop. In 2016, Mark Webber, Brendon Hartley and Timo Bernhard landed three consecutive wins(Nürburgring, Mexico and CotA). In 2015 the same trio managed four consecutive wins(Nürburgring, CotA, Fuji and Shanghai). This weekend's 1-2 finish at the 6 Hours of the Nürburgring is the brand's …
