The latest 991.2 GT3 produces 500 horsepower. Indeed, so did the 911R. Those cars have more than two decades worth of development on the base engine used for Singer's latest creation, yet their latest air-cooled flat-six matches that output. Of course, the Singer powerplant was developed by some of the most important names in the automotive world. …

Leh Keen Hustles a Firebreathing 935 Against Vipers, ‘Vettes, and More
The tall talent from Georgia is at it once again, and this time he's behind the wheel of a Kremer 935 K3, which spits out a staggering 800 horses in archetypically-turbocharged fashion.

Porsche's magazine-of-record Christophorus has been slowly trickling out their featured articles for a few years now, and this is perhaps the greatest one we've seen in all that time. This odd-looking mid-70s 911 Turbo is a unique piece of RennSport heritage that we'd not heard of prior. It was commissioned for long-time Porsche driver, company …

I have to be honest. The first few times I watched Matt Prior's reviews, I felt a little underwhelmed. Here was a middle-aged man with a gift for language, seated behind the alcantara-wrapped wheel of an exciting sports car, and somehow he made this divine piece of machinery seem clinical, bland, and practical.

At the end of October, Porsche conducted a private test at the Monza circuit in Italy. This isn't exactly newsworthy in and of itself, as things are likely getting a bit cold in Germany this time of year, so they've moved testing southward closer to the Equator.

How many classic Porsches have you seen with a seemingly extraneous lock cylinder aft of the driver's door? It's a common sight on 944s and 924s, and occasionally crops up on other models.

For fans of ludicrously-powerful Porsches on the hillclimb, Herbert Pregartner is likely a familiar name. The man has campaigned some of the wildest 911-based monsters on Austrian, German, and Swiss hillclimbs for decades now.
