Often, automotive battles in the style of David and Goliath tend to stage tired duels between overweight muscle cars and anemic featherweights with predictable results. However, what happens when two talented drivers take similarly focused machines—albeit with their own advantages and disadvantages—to the track? In this instance, a heavier GT3 …

This is What it Will Cost to Attend Rennsport Reunion VI Next Fall
Porsche announced the return of Rennsport Reunion this past August and we've been looking forward to it ever since. As with RRV and RRIV, the venue for Rennsport Reunion VI (RRVI) is Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Yesterday, Porsche released the logo for RRVI along with ticket pricing and their social media hashtag …

I understand that this site was once called Porsche Purist. I am not from that crowd. My affection for the transaxle cars is well documented, and I've always preferred the 356 to the 911. When I heard that the Boxster and Cayman were going to flat-four power, I was bothered less than most. When I ultimately heard the cars, however, I found them a …

For those looking for a leaner, more focused, and more athletic version of the 718, the newest GTS is on the horizon. Prospective buyers will have to wait until March 2018 to pick up their 718 GTS and fork over a hefty $79,800 for a Cayman or a princely $81,900 for a Boxster (Canadian pricing is $90,600 and $93,000 respectively). However, the GTS' …

As headlight technology has advanced, so has our ability to see greater distances ahead into the dark of night. However, even the best LED lights, like Porsche's matrix headlights found on the new Panamera, illuminate the night only so far (200 meters in this case). But at highway speeds, and above, 200 meters is traveled in mere seconds …

Few post-war circuits are as legendary as Fuji Speedway. From James Hunt and Niki Lauda's epic battle at the end of the 1976 season, to intense JGTC competition, Fuji really hosts it all. The most recent round of the WEC's 2017 season, the Six Hours of Fuji, did not result in victory for Porsche in any class. While Porsche LMP1 and GT cars finished …
Continue to the full articleA Look Back: Developing the 911 GT1
"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. When McLaren began to steamroll its rivals in that category, which later became FIA GT1, an irked Porsche responded by developing …

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. With last week's 3rd quarter numbers released we can see that while they aren't blowing their forecasts out of the water, they are gaining. Thanks in part to the succussful release …

This isn't the first time we've seen Jeff Zwart's wild creation thrashed as it was intended. Over the last forty-five years, Jeff has hustled this lemon yellow 914 in a variety of events, though with few giveaways to its true heritage and power, it might fly under the radar of most. However, keen eyes might pick out the telltale badge or the flared …
