Meet Ferdinand, the World’s Slowest Porsche
Humor doesn't always translate well from one language to another, especially in subtitles, and maybe even more so in German. However, to Porsche fans and those of us familiar with Porsche's push to "green" technology, the humor should come across loud and clear in the video below (if you're email program isn't showing the video, simply click on …

Maybe you're not able to, or put more simply, you don't want to read each little news blurb about Porsche Motorsports. If that's the case, there is no better way to stay up to date than by reviewing the monthly Porsche Motorsport Newsletter here on PorschePurist. Filled with interesting facts and figures about past and upcoming races, along …
Continue to the full articleWhat Are Your Other Hobbies Besides Porsche?
As I start to spend more time in the online forums dedicated to high-end sports cars and the "luxury lifestyle" (such as Rennlist, TeamSpeed, etc.) I've started to see what might be a disturbing trend. It would seem that, taken at face value, a great number of Porsche owners also collect watches, guns and bourbon. The funny scary thing is, those …

It was cold, it was dark and that loud thump THUMP made it fairly obvious that Ronald Durando's Porsche had a flat tire. As an experienced Porsche driver, and a prepared one at that, Ron wasn't worried. Not only did he know how to change a flat tire, he was prepared for almost all contingencies with an emergency repair kit, including a flashlight …

If, like John, you plan on trying to live in a bubble for the next week and not read or hear about yesterday's ALMS results until you can watch it for yourself (it's being aired on CBS next Saturday the 29th in an edited and tape delayed format) then you don't want to read this message. If, on the other hand, you're like me and live in the real …
Continue to the full articleWho Are Porsche’s Competitors?
More to the point, what competes with the Porsche 911? We think about this question a lot, probably more than we should. The problem is, at least in my mind, there isn't an easy answer. Sure, some Porsche models such as the Boxster, Cayenne or Panamera can easily (but not necessarily correctly) be compared to models from other brands (BMW Z4, …
Continue to the full articleWhat’s Your Favorite Porsche and Why?
When we first started this site we were a bit myopic in our view of Porsche. We were all about air-cooled Porsches and focused even more narrowly on 993s alone. Over the past three years (yes, we've been doing this just about that long now) as PorschePurist has grown, so has our love affair with all types of Porsches. Not only have we added a …
Continue to the full articleHere’s a Piece of Porsche PR Worth Watching
Since April 19th we've received close to 20 different press releases (possibly more, but I think I may have deleted a few) from Porsche's PR department. Generally, we publish most of them, but we don't necessarily send them out in our newsletters (remember this post about stealth publishing). I figure if we published and sent out a newsletter …
Continue to the full articleOne Way to Find the Porsche of your Dreams
For a lot of us, the Porsche of our "dreams" is not always a new Porsche. It might be a used Porsche. For some it's an air-cooled classic (Porsche 356, early 911, 930, 993, etc.), or a low-mileage, highly optioned late 996 or early 997, while others may be interested in something like a 928 GTS, a limited edition Boxster, or tricked out Cayman …
