An Inside Look at the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Launch!
As a New Yorker I will take any opportunity to head South or West in the middle of winter. When Michelin offered to send me/FLATSIXES.com both South AND West, in the middle of January, my bag was packed before I finished reserving flights. The first session of the PS4S launch had near-perfect weather, which served as an ideal background for the …

Porsche's record for quality is well documented. Over the last several months several recalls have cropped up, generally affecting a very small number of vehicles each time. A recent recall affected just 85 cars across numerous model lines. A new voluntary safety recall was just announced, this time affecting 16,429 vehicles globally. This …

Remember the kid in Canada that "borrowed" his mom's Porsche without permission? In that story, the unlicensed teen supposedly hit a parked car, then fled the scene and in a panic destroyed his mom's Cayenne as he tried to park it back in its own garage. A neighbor, so astounded by the bad parking job, posted video of the teen's driving to …

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.

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 …

After winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship with the Porsche 919 Hybrid, the Porsche factory driver is celebrating yet another success at the Monte Carlo Rally: At the wheel of his own Porsche 911 GT3 RS, he and co-driver Gilles de Turckheim won …

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, …
