Last weekend Porsche ran at Petit Le Mans, the closing round of the 2019 IMSA championship. While the mid-engine 911 RSRs didn't win their class, they did clinch several GTLM class championships. While IMSA was racing in Atlanta on Saturday, NASCAR was setting up for a race at Talladega just a few hours away in Alabama. As soon as Porsche finished …

Oddball Transaxle Spotting at Radwood Boston
No Radwood event is complete without a smattering of Porsche 924s, 944s, and 968s. The recent Boston event at the Larz Anderson Museum was no exception- there were about a dozen in attendance. Project 944 GTS made the trek from my home in Albany, New York to the event. Though there were quite a number of very nice Porsches in attendance, Radwood …

Graham bought his 1969 Porsche 911T back in the mid-1990s, long before the air-cooled 911 boom. Graham found his purple 911T in the Netherlands, and after parting with a then-substantial number of guilders (which Porsche reports was equal to about €21k), he drove the car home. Upon his return the purple T became Graham's daily driver. It made …

Diving Deep into Analog Machines with One Man’s Cherished 997.1 GT3 RS
Some owners develop bonds with their cars so close that they make certain parent-child relationships cold and distant. Perhaps the involved relationship one must have when owning and modifying a car over the course of a decade, one might get closer to their car than they can with kin. Plus, a Porsche 997.1 GT3 RS doesn't make rude comments at …

We all know that the 911 has grown a lot, but seeing Doug DeMuro next to this Lizard Green 992 has really cemented just how much. All 992s are now "widebody" cars, and as a result a base Carrera is a whopping 72.9" wide. That's 4.5" wider than a 993 (though perhaps about the same as a Carrera RS), or 3.2" wider than a 996. It's a full 10" longer …

Porsche's current king of the hill, the track-only GT2 RS-based 935, is the kind of thing that dreams are made of. With just 77 units built for worldwide consumption, not many of us will get the opportunity to wring this car's neck. Especially when you consider the massive price tag that it comes equipped with. The big wing and slicks machine is …

What's the difference between the Sport and Touring models of the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS? How did Porsche drop over 200 pounds from the RS to get the M471 model down to fighting fit? What's the history of Porsche's special Grand Prix White paint color? Where's the collector market on these incredible examples of Porsche sporting history? What more …

You have to hand it to CAR magazine. Few gather such motley groups such as these and find a common thread through them all. Not many put a Lamborghini Huracan on the same stage as a Renault Megane. Because the cars featured here are both the spiffiest versions of the mentioned models, they find similarities which help them stand out as formidable …

Small, light, uncorrupted by gadgets, and honest. Both the 914-6 and the Cayman GT4 might not be the most powerful of the most focused Porsches, but my do they deliver the goods. Enough power in a perfectly balanced chassis is a recipe which will always go far. Fifty years ago, Porsche began developing a six-cylinder mid-engined road car, and the …
