Nicolas Werver's 997 GT2-based racer is a striking collection of parts. Though once a street car, the current car wears the bodywork of a GT3 R, and the attendant downforce helps give the man some real certainty when trying to drive this wide-hipped monster along narrow mountain roads. In addition to the racecar's hide, he's added a few custom …

Mark Webber Lends His Two Cents on What It’s Like To Drive The First Porsche 917
As part of the grand celebration of the 917's 50th birthday, several major names were given the chance to parade some of the most iconic variants of the car at Goodwood's 77th Members' Meeting last month. One of those names was the affable and straight-talking Aussie who's done quite well at the top of the racing ladder for the last two decades: …

If you are anything like me, you have a ridiculously ambitious idea for your project car and what you want it to be like when it's "done". For many of us, a project will never truly be done, but for someone with the fabrication and mechanical skills, a full shop of tools, an intelligent and diligent staff, and an appropriate budget to finish the …

A large part of the 911 RSR's charm is the sound it makes. The sublime climb from a throaty growl to a screaming crescendo is something anyone can appreciate, provided their eardrums are functioning. For that reason, some will be disappointed to hear the Ford GT-esque bark the latest RSR emits from its side-exit exhausts. After a few laps, it …
Continue to the full articleThe 718 Boxster (or Cayman), it’s Newer- But is it better?
I had been itching to try the latest Boxster with all the controversy surrounding this car. I will be the first to admit I’m leery of change. I often don’t want to accept the latest fad or lingo. I adored our ‘06 987 Boxster - the feeling with the top down, the handling and that great soundtrack. I love classics, and although the older Boxsters are …

The 959 was really Porsche's rolling laboratory for automotive technological advancement. The truly astonishing thing about the 959 is that it was truly the first daily-driver supercar. Sadly, most of these cars have not been blessed with driving mileage, as they've been shoved in collections and garages for years. This car has 49,000 brag-worthy …

Watch As This 997 GT3 R Screams Up A Portuguese Hillclimb
With his usual Ford Escort steeds in the shop for repairs, Portuguese hillclimber José Silvinho Pires had to resort to using something else for his latest trip to the Rampa da Falperra hillclimb. His replacement, a 997 GT3 R, offered him more than enough performance to temporarily forget his old Fords. With a striking livery reminiscent of the old …

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." …

A few years ago, we discussed the idea of a GT3 Cabriolet (below). Some of us thought it was a great idea, and others not so much. It took almost five years, but Porsche finally built something that is basically the 991 GT3 Cabriolet that we asked for, but better. Consider the 991.2 Speedster a send off for the chassis. This is among the last cars …
