Where the basic 356 Speedster was inexpensive and humble, each subsequent generation is seemingly more limited and exclusive than the last. When the Speedster name re-emerged in the late-1980s as a spartan (but apparently practical) version of the 911, …

Porsche Cars North America Sales By Model: August 2019

While the 718 Cayman GTS brought plenty to the party, something was missing. True, the turbo four was punchier than the previous generation's six-cylinder atmospheric, but there was something amiss. Power and torque figures, as important as they are, need urgency and an appropriate soundtrack to power a truly memorable sports car. Rejoice, …
