After the sixth IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship round Porsche has still not found its way to victory lane. Of the three manufacturers in the class, BMW has two wins, Corvette has four, and Porsche none. The same specification 911 RSR has victories in the FIA WEC, but the IMSA crew's #911 and #912 keep getting the shaft. This weekend the …

Last Friday a Porsche sold on the auction site Bring A Trailer for a whole lot of money. This, in and of itself, is nothing new. That sort of thing happens all the time. What made this one different, however, was the fact that the car in question was a "tribute" or "replica" selling for similar money as the real deal might command. It's not the …

It's the drag battle we've been eagerly awaiting: the fastest, latest, best optimized product from Tesla against Porsche's fastest, quietest people carrier. Though these two heavyweights might seem sterile to some, they both offer the well-heeled consumer a level of torque, response, and stick that's unrivaled and cannot be ignored. Unless they've …

In another enthusiastic review from Roads Untraveled, we learn why pairing an American V8 with a German FR sports coupe is a wonderful idea. It blends what's wonderful about a Corvette with the great visibility, short overhangs, modest proportions, and exquisite interior of the 944. Surprisingly, these very different front-engine sports cars …

2020 brings one of the largest Porsche gatherings in recent years to the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb.

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 …

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 …

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 …
