Our Porsche 912E Gets Its Full Suspension Overhaul After A Pile Of Problems
Whenever you're doing a task for the first time, it is bound to take several times longer due to a lack of experience with procedure and form. That was definitely the case here with our 1976 Porsche 912E suspension overhaul. We ran into some serious issues in the disassembly process but we expected the re-assembly to go a bit smoother. We were very …

In all the sports car races I've attended, it's usually the shrill scream of the RSR which forces me to cork my ears the most. The note itself is blaring, but its almost subdued compared to the deafening pops of upshifting which punctuate it. It's a high price we pay being racing fans; in my book, a little tinnitus and an almost constant sunburn …

A little over ten years ago, Marc Basseng took the Carrera GT around the Nurburgring. A man with victories in the 24 Hours of Daytona, Bathurst 12 Hour, and the 24 Hours Nürburgring took Porsche's then-flagship around the 'Ring in 7:28.71, and now a four-door sedan is within spitting distance of that time.

After the success of Porsche's WEC team racing last weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, the IMSA team was expecting some good results in Saturday's GT-only round at Virginia International Raceway. Unfortunately, a series of nasty events saw the 911 and 912 finish no higher than 3rd and 5th in the 6-car class. Competition from BMW and Corvette was stiff, …

There's been a long line of Hollywood stars racing Porsches, and for many of them, it's nothing but a leisurely pastime—a bucket-list item, perhaps. Michael Fassbender is not quite one of them. The actor's exploits at the wheel—easily seen in his onboards and a short video series following his journey to Le Mans—demonstrate he's far from a …

If you're a fan of Porsche's naturally aspirated engines, you're in luck, because despite evidence to the contrary they don't seem to be dying any time soon. If you were to go to your Porsche dealership right now, you'd find just a handful of models not fitted with turbochargers, including the 718 Boxster and Cayman GTS, the GT4, the Boxster …

Gunther Werks' Sting has the presence of an old racing car. It squeezes 295- and 325-section tires underneath its widened carbon haunches, as well as Fuchs-style wheels and massive Brembo CCM-R brakes. It looks nothing but business, and yet its adjustable suspension makes it a civilized thing to drive slowly. I may be a bit biased, but I think …
