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 …

Porsche Improves Upon the Cayenne Transsyberia. Can They Repeat Last Year’s Performance?
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 …

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 …

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, …

I'm always on the look out for interesting finds on eBay with regard to Porsche cars and products. This one was too good to pass up. According to the seller, this car was purchased new by Dennis Rodman (of NBA fame) and "optioned accordingly". Here's the catch, the car has little to no service history and nothing to prove the provenance of …

The answer just may depend on how your system is set-up. Most people I know complain that they lose all “seat of the pants” feedback when it comes to car racing simulators and video games. With the introduction of Fanatec’s Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel, that objection may just go away. Fanatec's Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel is an officially Porsche …

A lot of Porschephiles might say they are not fans of the Porsche Cayenne. To some, the truck is an insult to the Porsche racing heritage; others say it is simply not right to have an SUV in the line-up of what is otherwise the most revered sports car company in the world. To all of you, I say hogwash. The Cayenne GTS's stats speak for …

In last week’s post on my most recent eBay find, I suggested it was the gift for the Porsche owner who has it all. As it turns out, there is no end in sight to the choices afforded those of us who are fanatical about all things Porsche, thanks to the Porsche Design Group. As the number of unique visitors and subscribers to this blog continues …

Have you ever wanted to know how a fast an F1 car is? Or, better yet, how a stock 911 would do in a race with an F1 car. This video, while quite old, is still very amusing and entertaining. It pits an early to mid 90's Carrera versus a Peugot306 S16 versus a McLaren F1 car (all driven by professional F1 drivers). Could the Porsche Possibly …
