Back in the early-2000s Porsche did the then-unthinkable by introducing an SUV. At the time the company made just two cars, the 911 and the Boxster, and was looking to expand. The going rumors suggest that Porsche won the contract to engineer the large SUV platform for Volkswagen and Audi because it had agreed to shutter its Le Mans prototype …

Is The Most Basic Porsche 992 The One To Get?
So, you've decided to buy a new Porsche. Good for you! But given all of the incredible choices available on the Porsche dealership lot these days, how are you possibly going to pick one?

Known for blending outrageously powerful motors with understated exteriors, RUF Automobile GmbH has made quite a name for itself. But beyond the tire-smoking Yellowbirds, there are a few vehicles which, while possibly not headline material in themselves, help constitute an interesting, varied stable from a company capable of producing more than …

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 …

After the base model and the subsequent S, the GTS variant is the sharper sibling. The chassis improvements over the base model make any GTS—whether it be a Cayman, Boxster, 911, Macan, Panamera, or Cayenne—feel like a completely new vehicle.

The first three months of 2020 were exceedingly poor for, well, for all of us, really. But things went particularly bad for PCNA, which saw a massive 20+ percentage drop in sales from the previous year.

It has always seemed odd that a car with the finesse, power, and surefootedness of the Cayman GT4 could have one glaring issue holding it back.

Porsche's North American headquarters, known colloquially as One Porsche Drive, has a delightful selection of historically significant cars on display at all times. The cars rotate every couple of months, and there is usually a theme. The last time I was there, it was packed with prototypes and I got to lay eyes on the early-1990s Boxster concept …

Porsche has been tinkering with active aerodynamics for decades, adding driver-adjustable wings to race cars as long ago as the 1950s in the 550 Spyder era.
