On a recent road trip (before covid-19 lockdown) my 912E was having some major trouble. It was missing and bucking in the midrange. The little 2-liter was running fine at wide open throttle, and it ran fine at idle, so I figured it had to be a major vacuum leak. Since the engine was recently rebuilt with all new vacuum lines, I figured the culprit …

992 Turbo S Packs New Tech, 640 Horsepower
These days, it takes a ludicrous amount of thrust to get the desensitized public to drop its collective jaw. If the muscular 992 Turbo S and its 640-horsepower engine don't raise eyebrows, one must be reminded what the car represents. As a member of a small niche of vehicles somewhere between grand tourer and supercar, the 992 Turbo S deserves a …

Though the tech-heavy 959 was made into a Paris-Dakar competitor, the plans for a Group B-destined 961 resulted in one prototype. The latter went to Le Mans, where it finished seventh in 1986, as well as Daytona. After that, the 959-based racers never saw sanctioned action again. Some Porsche builders weren't too happy with this. Santarelli …

The streets of New York City are uncharacteristically empty right now as the Big Apple is ravaged with tens of thousands of cases of covid-19. The city that never sleeps has effectively been shut down as people are ordered to stay indoors in order to keep the spread to a minimum.

It's a dream most of us share. To race at a professional level in a current Porsche racing car is the sort of thing that can make life a bright and welcoming place after divorce, disease, or any great distress.

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.

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 …

In this documentary on his efforts at the 1982 24 Hours of Le Mans, Bell and his peers explain why this affable Brit hasn't shied from the …

As we're quickly learning, the range of an EV is only as useful as the charging network it depends upon. Once the network is dense and widely distributed, an EV will be as versatile as a combustion engined car, and Porsche is spearheading this expansion.
