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 …

Porsche Cars North America Sales By Model: April 2019
Where Porsche's sales are down globally, somehow Porsche Cars North America is having a decent year as it prepares for an eighth consecutive record year of retail sales in a row.

With a free-revving 3.4-liter engine powering a single-minded machine weighing sub-3,000 pounds, the original Boxster Spyder had a lot to offer the discerning motorist.

Per Michael Eiden, the current owner of this red 911S; “The previous owner was really desperate.

But when assembling it, nothing fitted together again – it was like it was jinxed.” But the reason the bodywork wouldn't fit back together wasn't …

Well, the two fastest of the latest GT lineup put that old chestnut to the test on a sodden Spa-Francorchamps, where turbo power shouldn't offer much of an advantage. Does it?
