Video: 1982 Fabcar Porsche 935 JLP-4 – The Wildest 935 Ever?
Back in the early 1980s, the GTP-style prototypes were still in their infancy, and the JLP Racing team - John Pauls, Sr. & Jr. - wanted to build a new version of Porsche's 935 that could "win any race it entered" with no expense spared. Hiring the workshops and aerodynamics masters at Fabcar to build their new machine, the JLP-4 was the result. …

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.

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 …

Road Atlanta is a wonderful racetrack that takes you on a rollercoaster of a ride through the Georgia hills. Having said that, does the phrase “off camber, full throttle, downhill section of track” excite you or does it make you want to spectate? If you sit in the former camp, then Road Atltanta's turn-12 is for you (not that the other 11 turns …

Attendees at the recent Group 5 Sports Cars speed event held at Goodwood were relieved of insipid commentary when an errant Kraken, who obviously also had just enough of the announcers mispronouncing the word “Porsche”, slammed the announcer’s podium with a giant tentacle and wiped it out.
