There is a case for driving your classic Porsches, and Makellos is certainly leading by example. This Porsche has been on a number of road trips and stacked on a few miles since they took ownership of it. Unlike a lot of classic cars, these old 911s can handle 6-figure odometer rollovers as long as they are properly maintained. And, if they're set …

High Altitude Training In Lesotho With The New Macan
I respect a deeply focused tool. The Land Rover Defender remained very true to its original intent right through the end of production. Wranglers only began attempting to be comfortable relatively recently. If the sort of sport you prefer frequently takes you miles off the beaten path, having the correct vehicle is key. But with that comes …

Porsche has been building cars longer than most people reading this have been alive. For seven decades they've been tearing up their own script and occasionally re-writing it wholesale. People complained when 356 production ended in favor of the heavier and more expensive 911. People complained when the 964 debuted because it had coil springs of …

It seems that sometime in the late 1990s people that made skate videos split into two camps. One camp went down the rabbit hole of CKY and Jackass, while the rest wanted to show the world that what their parents dismissed as boorish and juvenile could be beautiful. We will probably reap the benefits of beleaguered skaters for decades, as the look …

Everything from the very first Porsche—The 356 "No. 1" Roadster—to the most advanced Porsche race car of all time—The 919 Hybrid Evo—was at Goodwood for the Festival of Speed this year. Porsche, in their 70th year, went all out in their display, bringing dozens of historically significant street and race cars to Lord March's driveway to play. And …

Toward the end of the seventies, it seemed the 911's days were numbered. Due to legal embroilments and a largely unjustified reputation, the rear-engined marvel was becoming feared by many, and the company was turning their attentions to a front-engined successor with a sweeter disposition. The technologically advanced 928 arrived in 1977 with …

The man has been a Porsche fanatic since he was 23, and has forgotten more about building fun to drive air-cooled back road burners than most of us will ever learn. He is an indelibe piece of the Southern California Porsche scene, and has had his hands in the engine compartments of many of the Porsches that live there (and all over the world) …

Porsche has seen a slight decline in Asian markets recently, which was more than made up for with nice growth in every other market, accounting for a 3% total increase in unit sales for the first half of 2018 as compared to the first half of 2017. The company's previous best financial first half was last year, and somehow the Porsche steam engine …

At its base the fifty-two meter sculpture is just 12cm across. Its widest section contains six points holding six Porsches. Yes, real Porsches. You can see through the clear windows and into the interiors, and the underpinnings are visible from below. These are not hollow fiberglass display pieces, but artfully suspended real vehicles. Designed by …
