At all times I try to remain objective when it comes to Porsche. After all, this is the same organization that designed all the different variations of my beloved Porsche 911 along with the incredible Carrera GT. However, the Porsche Panamera seems to get uglier and uglier every time a new "spy" shot makes the rounds on the internet. Couple this …

What Model Porsche do you Own?
Because my Porsche(s) are air-cooled, when I first started this site, my idea was to focus specifically on those type of Porsches. Combine this with the fact that my favorite Porsche is a 993, and you can probably see why I decided to name the site 993C4S.com. Lately, as I've expanded the site, the name has become a bit confusing; it infers …

If a book's quality was to be judged on weight and heft alone, then Adrian Streather's Porsche 996 The Essential Companion would win most contests quite handily. With a shipping weight just over 5 and 1/2 lbs this book offers 640 pages of technical and anecdotal insight into identifying, authenticating, purchasing maintaining and optimizing the …

I receive a lot of email from readers of 993C4S. I do my very best to respond to each one in a timely manner. A lot of the email comes from one of my previous posts where I owned up to the fact that "I'm not a Porsche expert, but I play one on the Internet." In this post I offered to answer any question you may have, so long as it was Porsche …

To say this is a big week in the automotive world would be as big an understatement as calling Michael Phelps an average swimmer. Yesterday marked the opening of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. First conducted in 1950, it is often said to be the world’s premier celebration of the automobile. This five day event is the ultimate for any car …
Continue to the full articleThe Correct Way to Pronounce Porsche
My blog puts me in touch with Porsche owners the world over. Lately, what used to be as rare as an original 550 Spyder seems to be as prolific as a Honda Accord (and this from amongst the anointed few.) What blasphemy is this that I speak of? None other than the incorrect pronunciation of our beloved brand. If you’re new to the marque then the …

A few weeks ago we received a package from Motorbooks, the world's leading publisher and distributor of books for the enthusiast. This package included a number of Porsche related titles sent to us for review. Knowing that we wouldn't have the time to read everything that was sent to us, in a timely fashion, we decided to run a contest here on …

Even with the price of oil dropping quickly, the prices at the pump reflect this change much more slowly. Premium gasoline (91 to 93 octane) in my part of the world is still well north of $4.00 per gallon. Imagine my surprise then after reading a NY Times article that it just might be that I've been wasting my money for a very long time. Sure, …

UPDATE: One thing not mentioned in this post are the various PCA Registries. Most Porsche models now have PCA sanctioned registries where owners can sign up and interact with others who own like Porsches. If you need any more incentive to join the registry (or the PCA) for your particular Porsche model, check out this story on how 3 lucky …

On Friday of last week Porsche announced their final figures (delivered units) for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Besides posting record profit numbers that actually exceeded their revenue, Porsche shipped close to 34,000 units to the North American market (31,818 to the US and 1,874 to Canada.) This represents a very small drop from last …
