Everything in the world is pretty messed up right now, and there isn't any racing going on right now, and won't be for the foreseeable future. Thank goodness, then, that Porsche decided to release its 90-minute documentary about the week last year where Porsche's GT team competed in two of the most demanding endurance races in the world. It's …

Jay Leno and Patrick Dempsey Sample Two RS Porsches at Willow Springs
Light, nimble, and sleek, a '73 2.7 RS turns heads wherever it goes, commands obscene prices, and causes Porschephiles to salivate. For the historian, this rolling museum piece represents a period in racing when the difference between a road car and a racing car wasn't as vast as it is today. In fact, the 2.7 RS wasn't originally legal in the US …

Looking at the massive center-lock BBS wheels underneath those riveted wheel arches makes one giddy. With its widened track and complete absence of amenities, the GT2 Evo oozes unmistakable purpose—a sort of purpose which borders on crude. That's part of the charm of this old-fashioned brute. The 993 spent a relatively short span of time on the …

The true depth of the damage done by the COVID-19 virus will not make itself known for months. As it spreads around the world, every single industry, government, and person must deal with the fallout in whatever way we can. The first thing anyone can do is to isolate in their homes and keep contact with other humans at a bare minimum. …

As drivers we only really have three points of contact with our cars. Our feet do a little dance on the pedals. Our hands work the steering wheel and gear shifter. But it's butts in seats that really provide the level of contact with the car that helps us feel what it is doing underneath us. We need a good solid connection between our backside and …

Frankly, the sound and the speed seen in the first few seconds of the video answers this question in my eyes. Dare I say the $60,000 or so these cars are fetching is worth it for the sound of that motor alone! But there's more to this analog machine. [Note: I'm beginning to hate that term as it tends to be synonymous with "overpriced" these …

The fact that there's a large enough demographic to justify simple, pure sports cars like these is heart-warming. The pared-down, four-cylinder Alpine A110S and Porsche Cayman T offer just what's necessary for a brisk canyon run, but the scale of the companies behind these cars change their respective characters considerably. The Cayman T is …

Watch This 700-HP Porsche 935 Kremer K3 Tackle A Narrow Hillclimb With Ease
Navigating a narrow mountain pass requires a set of characteristics which don't necessarily lend themselves to wide, fast, open road courses. When you consider the lag of an antiquated turbo motor, broad tires which tramline over the smallest surface changes, and a spool instead of a limited-slip differential, getting around hairpins doesn't sound …

The original Boxster gets a lot of undeserved flak. We're all subject to the psychology of the hierarchy when we begin to inspect the Porsche lineup more closely, and as the Boxster sits at the bottom of the totem pole, it's going to get pelted by the droppings of the big eagles perched above. Though any honest petrolhead and track rat will …
