A Case for Back-Up Cameras: A 356 Takes a Bath
Before any hearts get completely shattered, as mine was upon viewing this video, the 356 appears to be a replica. Nevertheless, the story remains the same. An inattentive van driver backs in to a space at speed, completely fails to notice the pale blue 356 Cabriolet already in the spot, and shunts the car into a canal. Given the van's speed it's …

Where the new Porsche 935's sole purpose is to go fast and make noise, the original 935's purpose was rather more involved. That original slant-nosed track warrior was not merely a toy for the super-wealthy to drive and induce salivation in, it was a genuine racing car. In 1979 the 935 became the first ever GT car to win Le Mans overall, an …

Rennsport Reunion VI was among the most memorable automotive events in my recent memory. The showmanship involved on the part of Porsche's employees, their pride in the brand's history, and their willingness to talk about nothing but Porsche for the week of Rennsport is commendable. The event went off without a hitch, and I'm sure it took …

The creations from Gunther Werks are truly something special. Their appeal should grow with another model—which is somewhat more accommodating than their hardcore 400R. That said, the new 430-horsepower Sport Touring is still quite quick. This particular car, unveiled at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering this past weekend, enjoys several …

This isn't the first time Adam Carolla's taken his ex-Newman 935 around Laguna Seca. Now a familiar face at the big-name vintage events there, he shows some genuine bravery when threading this $4.8M racing icon through traffic at this year's Rennsport. Though it's a bit like hanging a Picasso above the stove, competing in the 935 is what it was …
Continue to the full articleJeff Zwart on the sound that first drew him to Porsche
According to Jeff Zwart, the distinctive sound of a Porsche six-cylinder engine is what drew him in to the brand. With the possible exception of the 928, no classic Porsche really sounds right at idle. Most Porsches need to be prodded with a stick. Until you wind it up, a 356 or 914 sounds like a Volkswagen bus. The 924 sounds like an AMC Gremlin …

Porsche is back on their game this month as deliveries of the new Cayenne started to show up in dealerships. While sales of Macan models dipped only slightly, 718 sales and Panamera sales suffered by large percentages.
