We've known the "when" for months now (April 22, 2018) but "where" Luftgekühlt 5 would take place was anyone's guess. Until tonight. Just a short-time ago we received an email letting us know that Luftgekühlt 5 would be held in the city of Torrance, CA. Still no official word on the exact venue, but if you're planning on flying in for the event, …

This Mercedes G-Wagen Has A 928 Engine, And It Was Built To Help Porsche Win Dakar In 1986
Last July, Porsche hauled a few of their large-and-in-charge off-roaders into the museum for a special exhibit on the history of Porsche's jacked-up four-wheel-drivers. Among them was a Mercedes G-Wagen support vehicle for the company's Dakar efforts in the mid-1980s. I'd seen this car in photographs of the display before, but I didn't know the …

Porsche has been building bicycles for decades, and they've become quite popular among Porsche-driving enthusiasts who like to support the company in all of their endeavors. Back in 2010, Porsche introduced the Hybrid RS mountain bike (below), with a rear wheel hub electric motor to assist riders. It wasn't exactly the most popular thing, as the …

There are very few Porsche Top 5s the 917 can't win. Top 5 iconic motorsport models? For many people, that's 917, though Derek Bell understandably disagreed. Top 5 wildest Porsches ever used on the road? That's also a fight between the 917 and 962, but my nod still goes to the 917 thanks to Count Rossi and Joachim Grossman's bonkers road cars. Top …

Porsche sales chief Detlev von Platen told a German magazine last week that he believes Porsche could and should develop a flying passenger car to compete with potential rivals in an as-yet-nonexistent market for urban flying taxi and ride-sharing services.

In the best sense of the word, this '78 911 is a mutt. Not only does it wear the skin of a 964, but it's been recently fitted with a 5.3-liter LM7 motor out of—shock and horror—a Cadillac.

The section of C-28 highway, known as 'Puerto De La Bonaigua' is a sinewy ribbon of road on the Spanish side of the border between France and Spain. Having lived in Spain myself for a while, I have been on some pretty amazing mountain roads, and find it not difficult to believe that this one might be an incredible route. Greatest in the world is …
