Filed to: Porsche Race CarsBy:

"Stretching the production car rules to the limit," the 911 GT1 started its life based largely off the design of the 993 GT2, a machine then competitive in classes like the BPR Global GT Series, but not wholly dominant.

Filed to: NewsBy:

Last year, when Porsche provided 2017 guidance, the outlook was stable. They weren't expecting to lose ground, but they weren't really expecting to gain ground either.

The Widest 356? West Coast Customs’ 356-Cayman Mashup in Motion

Filed to: Porsche 356, Porsche Cayman, Tuned PorschesBy:

A 356 is a tiny car by modern standards. At 65.4" wide, a 356 is narrower even than a current Mitsubishi Mirage(65.6"). Most 356 variants are also shorter in terms of height than Project 944 GTS, and around 18" shorter in overall length than my 944. Stretching one to fit over a 987 Cayman then, is no mean feat.
