Taking an unmistakable racing silhouette from forty years prior and fitting an electric motor between its haunches is something that only Bisi Ezerioha would imagine. Owner of Bisimoto, this enthusiastic engineer has created some of the wildest cars in recent history. Some of his brainchildren include a Honda Odyssey with quad-digit power, a …

Mark Webber Makes a Compelling Case for Keeping the Manual Around
Over the past week, I've been wondering how much compromise is the right amount for a focused sports car—especially when a GTS badge connotes real performance. A little less of the GT4's busy-in-your-hands character isn't such a bad thing for a car which will see plenty of street driving, as Henry Catchpole has been able to convey in his latest …

Turbocharging did not gain the Boxster and Cayman any fans. The models kindly picked up 911 fans' spare derision when the transaxle cars left production in the mid-1990s, and have carried the torch of poor public perception from their predecessors. Real enthusiasts should only be buying 911s after all, or so the line goes. Despite having something …

Porsche has long been a brand invested in evolution rather than revolution, though not all of their changes have immediately proven popular. When the much-loved (but admittedly slow-selling) 993 was replaced by the 996, fans balked. When the 991 moved to an all-turbocharged engine range in the non-GT models, fans clambored for the naturally …

In the era of turbochargers and PDK gearboxes we live in, it's easy to get distracted. Even mid-tier sports cars are just so supremely quick nowadays, there's a good chance that many fans forget about the other things which make a car truly special. Fortunately, we have videos like these. One brief encounter with the sonorous wail of the 5.7-liter …

Stuffing a throaty six-cylinder in the back of a mid-tier Cayman or Boxster isn't ever going to be met with much opposition. While many have grown accustomed to the shove and impressive mid-range of the latest 2.5-liter turbo motors, the screaming 4.0-liter atmospheric engines will always be welcome betwixt the haunches of a 718. Of course, …

PCNA had a very strange sales year in 2019, capping off a year of growth with an impressive new sales record for the company. This is somewhat surprising, considering American sales of Porsche models dipped across the board, with the exception of the newly revamped Cayenne which dominated sales over the last 12 months. The previously …

The decade which began in 2010 comes to a close next week, and it's got me feeling a little nostalgic for the good times. When were the good times you ask? Why 2012 of course! When you consider the lineup of incredible new models that Porsche has built across the last ten years, there is only one that stands out to me as the best. Better than …

The Taycan is a seer, of sorts. As I sit down to the table with this car, it begs me to peer into its orbuculum for a glimpse of Porsches yet to come. The next decade of Porsche development is perhaps the most important the company has ever faced. Everyone in the automotive industry is pretty certain that battery electric is the future, but is …

Small, light, uncorrupted by gadgets, and honest. Both the 914-6 and the Cayman GT4 might not be the most powerful of the most focused Porsches, but my do they deliver the goods. Enough power in a perfectly balanced chassis is a recipe which will always go far. Fifty years ago, Porsche began developing a six-cylinder mid-engined road car, and the …
