Porsche attacked Virginia International Raceway with the team's typical verve, but similar to their efforts at Silverstone in the WEC race, the IMSA teams had an up and down weekend with some good results and some quite poor. In the GT Daytona category, the Wright Motorsports team from central Ohio scored a well-deserved podium position. The …

Porsche’s Results And Photos From The Six Hours Of Silverstone
Porsche had an extremely up and down day in England on Sunday during the six hours of Silverstone. This race saw a second win in a row for the GTE-Am category Dempsey Proton Racing squad of Matt Campbell, Christian Ried, and Julien Andlauer, as well as an additional 911 RSR in third place on the podium. In the GTE-Pro category, however, the day …

Back in 1978 Hot Wheels released a 924 in 1:64th scale, as is tradition for them. It had blackwall tires, and the same 5-spoke styled plastic wheels seen on most Hot Wheels of the day. About a decade later Matchbox released a 944 Turbo. I had one, it was green, the Porsche crest was huge across the hood, and the doors opened. It was a neat car. …

Celebrity ownership doesn't usually tend to do anything to increase a Porsche's value at auction, unless that celebrity is Steve McQueen or others closely and famously associated with the marque. In this case, however, an exception might be made for one of the best NFL players of all time, Walter Payton (or Sweetness as he was known around the …

While a strong enough will and disregard for appearances can stick LED strips to anything, it is not the way to aesthetic harmony for your Porsche. From the factory Porsche's aesthetics tend toward distinctive, yet understated. While the brand is not immune to following the trends of the moment (I'm looking at you, side strakes on slantnose 911s), …

When Porsche announced the Speedster concept back in June we were immediately excited. This is exactly what the speedster should have been all along, a rakish two-seat topless sports car with GT-division power to the rear wheels. The 997 generation speedster didn't make any sense with its incredibly outpaced pricepoint and power that simply matched …

Though it might not look like anything other than a strangely pristine 964, this silver Carrera holds a special place in Porsche history. As the last birthday present gifted to Louise Piëch née Porsche, daughter of Ferdinand and sister of Ferry, it is the last car of a matriarch with a unique flair for life. This special Porsche now belongs to …

When I first put together the Monterey auction preview for next weekend's sales, Mecum hadn't yet uploaded photographs for this particular Porsche 959 lot. I'd thought to myself that the pricing seemed a bit on the low end of 959 values with a pre-auction estimate around the $500 grand mark, particularly as most of them have climbed above the …

The Michelin Man, his 'real' name is Bibendum (Bib for short), has been a part of the automotive conversation for 120 years. Initially developed as a thin and ropy Frenchman built of thin motorcar and bicycle tires in the late 1890s, Bib enjoyed a drink and a cigar in his younger years, frequently found holding a coupe of Champagne.
