Update: If you enjoy this post be sure to check out History of the Porsche 917 Part II and History of the Porsche 917 Part III for even more info and vids. Ever since Porsche took the overall win at Sebring a few weeks ago, I’ve been exploring the history of Porsche racing more and more. Out of my research has come a fascination with the Porsche …

Long Awaited Porsche Museum to Open Before Year End
If you have had the good fortune to visit the current Porsche Museum then you know their company motto of "small but good" has worked well for them. While a little claustrophobic, due to lack of space, Porsche more than makes up for this through the constant change, and superb choice (yes, that's my favorite 917 pictured), of the 20 or so cars …

From Moscow to Ulaanbaatar. Sounds like a movie title more than a route for one of the most grueling off-road competitions in the world. Covering over 7,100 kilimoters, this year's two-week epic will run from July 11th to the 25th. Hoping for a repeat to last year's fantastic debut of the Porsche SUV in the event; Cayennes took the top three …

This has to be the coolest Porsche related item yet. Take a look at the picture on the left, any idea what it is? Give up? It’s a PC. That’s right, it’s a computer! No, it’s not another industrial design win from the Porsche Design Group. It’s a machine created by a member of the TBCS Community Forum who goes by the username of …

It’s hard to say what car is destined to become an icon or classic. Unfortunately, some cars are never given the chance. Such was the case of the 1970 VW-Porsche Tapiro. What, you’ve never heard of a Porsche Tapiro? Don’t feel too bad. Unless you happened to be at the Turin Motor Show in 1970, your chances of having seen or heard of …

In my earlier post regarding New prices for the Porsche Cayenne, I speculated that Porsche's strategy to keep inventory low at most US dealers appeared to be working (at least for the Cayenne). Today, in news from Stuttgart, Porsche released year over year sales figures for March 2008. Not surprisingly, overall sales were down by 24%. Very …

At first I thought it was a joke (April Fools maybe?). But, then I realized it was still March (at least when I posted this it still was) and April Fool's day is not until tomorrow. The timing seems odd to raise pricing on their most profitable model. According to most economic pundits, we're in the middle of a significant global economic …

What is the purpose of zero to sixty straight line comparisons, especially when the cars are not evenly matched in the first place? I think the answer depends on who is conducting the test. In the instance of this post, it’s Autocar and Chris Harris. Simply put, I think this type of test brings eye-balls to a web-site and helps to spark …

Admittedly, not all the news that Porsche releases to the press is exciting. However, what caught my eye on this particular news note, was the display they are planning with regard to various Porsche exhibits. More specifically, on display (among other interesting Porsche cars) will be the 1971 Porsche 917 "short-tail" that won the '24 Hours of …

I'm a bit of a "Porsche Purist", what others may call a snob. For the most part, I like my Porsches to be original, true to what the manufacturer intended with little to no modifications. As an example, my 1973 911T was all original (including paint and interior) with no modifications. My current 1997 993 C4S is exactly the same, all original, …
