The Joys And Stresses Of An Air-cooled Breakdown
Stranded at the side of the road is never a good feeling, especially when you're dealing with an unfamiliar and seemingly phantom electrical problem. I've driven my 1976 912E about 25,000 miles since I purchased it in August of 2016, and it's been absolutely faultless in all that time. It's a little finicky sometimes, but has never left me …

Bernd Pennewitz in one of those rare individuals who lives between the worlds of the young and the old.

The current iteration of the horsepower wars is frankly a bit absurd. Today's fastest street cars would be required to have full roll cages and chassis certification under NHRA rules. Even the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is fast enough to require a 6-point cage to make passes at your local drag strip. For the last several decades mind-bending …

Of all the modern celebrities associated with Porsche, there are few non-race drivers with the same sort of relationship with the marque as Magnus Walker.

No matter which camp your motorsport allegiances lie, it is a fact that the most ubiquitous and iconic car of the Group 5 era is Porsche's wild aerodynamically shaped 911-based prototype, the 935. This year, for the 76th Members Meeting at Goodwood, a few dozen of the greatest Group 5 cars were invited out to parade around the circuit in a …

A good friend of mine is a campus security guard at a local college. Day in and day out he walks the campus, step by step improving his Pokemon Go game. Many games like Pokemon Go are centered around either working with a user's step count, or Virtual Reality. Porsche's new endeavor in augmented reality eschews both of these goals in favor of …
