Project Boxster Clubsport just wrapped up, it's time to change our tune. I'd like to introduce our new project car, and I'll be the first to point out that it is inconsistent with the very title of this site. It's Porsche-powered, but it's an all-aluminum 2.5L inline four, not a Flat Six. We didn't seek this car out as a project car, and actually I …

Add Lightness: A Competition Inspired Porsche Collection
Some collections sprawl. Jay Leno has hundreds of cars across a wide array of marques, types and ideas. Some collections are unified by a single theme, whether it's classic Packards, or in this case light weight Porsches. To the collector who invited FLATSIXES.com to his home to view his stable, adding lightness was the name of the game. Inside his …

To Jethro Bovingdon, yes. Yes it is. He already established that he loves the 911 GT3 on track, and now on the road, the story seems much the same. In the rain, mist, and greasy conditions often suffered by English journalists, the GT3 shone. How then does it compare to the instant-classic 911R? Does the ostensibly more focused GT3 give the …

The 5th annual Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance was a resounding success. In fact, PCDE Chairman Bob Ingram, and noted Porsche collector, said it best in Saturday’s press conference, "This is the best field we've ever had. We have the best judges of any car show in the country. The field today is comparable to what you'd see at Pebble Beach, …

Leave it to the Hoonigans to find out. Brian Scotto's white 964 is one of the first two car Nakai-San built in the US, the first US-based RWB Turbo, and one of the first RWB turbos after Nakai's personal 930. Brian is no stranger to childish hooliganism in his 964, and this time had to find out if the car could manage a burnout. The attempt …

Car elevators, while a feat of engineering, are nothing new. The most famous of them, for now, is probably the "Dezervator" found in the 60-story Porsche Design Tower in Miami. Car towers as parking systems are becoming more routine (think of the Car Towers at Autostadt in Wolfsburg). Heck, even a car vending machine has been done before, at least …

Last week Porsche announced that the 911 hit a significant milestone when the one-millionth example rolled off the production line. That's a fairly significant number given how humble the beginnings were for Porsche. Today, the 911 has evolved through seven main generations*: 1963*: The original 911 1973*: G Series 1988*: Typ 964 …

And he doesn't think it's a good thing. By now, we all know that the 718 Boxster switched from a normally aspirated flat-six to a turbo charged flat-four. On paper the new Boxster is better in almost every way than its predecessor. It's faster zero to 60, faster zero to 100 and faster overall with a top speed of 177 MPH. As Chris says, "that's …
