Despite Porsche's growing production numbers, their quality remains strong. In fact 5 Porsche models were honored in the 2015 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study and the marque itself ranked 2nd overall in 2016. That's why, whenever we hear of a recall, no matter how small, we take note.

Falling In Love With Porsche’s 924 All Over Again
I first came into contact with this 924 at NorCal Treffen, a nifty little event in an out-of-the-way park. I was drawn to the car's nearly perfect appearance. It had a few rock chips here and there, and a repaint intended to hide some prior deer-induced damage had faded beyond acceptable, but the amazingly period-correct Gotti wheels and a gorgeous …

It's odd to think of a Magnus Walker car as owing anything to a modern, watercooled Porsche. Placed side by side, Magnus' latest 964 owes a lot to the 991 GT3 RS. The two cars share their double-bubble roof and radiused fender louvers, along with unique RS-specification powerplants. Magnus' 964 may owe even more to the 991 in this video, as this …

The cold hard truth is that unless you belong to a group of friends with a hugely diverse number of cars, it's unlikely you'll ever get to drive as many different Porsches as Matt Farah. That's what I like so much about his "One Take" series. It's a chance for the rest of us to get some virtual seat time in almost every Porsche ever built, …

The 2017 Porsche auction season kicked off this year in Scottsdale with mixed results. At the end of 2016 it seemed like the market for everything air-cooled was, at best, stalling. Then, everything changed with RM Sotheby's Duemila Ruote auction results. Unfortunately, that momentum didn't continue into 2017. While quite a few Porsches were …

If you're anything like me, when you think of the "Hippie" Porsche you most likely think of Martini Racing's "Psychedelic" 917 LH. That famous purple, green and white livery was first presented to the pubic in 1970 at Le Mans where Gérard Larrousse and Willi Kauhsenthe piloted it to 2nd place overall (bookended by two other Porsches: the 917 of …

Joe Campbell had two toy cars growing up; a Ford GT40 and a Porsche 911. Seeing the two toy cars in his hand many years on, it's immediately clear that both have a lot of hard miles. The love affair didn't end when Joe stopped pushing his die-casts through the carpet as a child. When Joe finished medical school and his residency in the late 1980s, …
