Artcurial While the star of this particular sale has to be the $2.3 Million sale of a gorgeous Porsche 904, the startlingly large pile of money paid for this 1951 Split-Window 356 is perhaps even more exciting. While the 356 market has been softening lately, it's nice to see a truly great Porsche appreciated for its perfection. This 356 sold …

A New Porsche-Themed Watch Is Seeking Buyers On Kickstarter
Designer Alessandro Salvatore of Melbourne, Australia has created two new Porsche-inspired watch designs, dubbed the Ferdi (in salute of Ferdinand Porsche himself), and the 3Five6 (obviously after Porsche's original rear-engine sports car, the 356 of the 1950s and 60s). These two designs appear to be reasonably affordable, at under $300 per unit, …

How many classic Porsches have you seen with a seemingly extraneous lock cylinder aft of the driver's door? It's a common sight on 944s and 924s, and occasionally crops up on other models. These archaic anti-theft systems are often broken, and are easily defeated. Indeed, the 944 system can be defeated without tools. Thankfully, Porsche is …

Originally sketched out by Rod Emory way back in 2012, the 356 RSR Outlaw has been a project that he's wanted to build for quite a while. When Henrique Cisneros, owner of Momo, spotted the sketch in Rod's archives, he knew that it had to be built. From the word go, Henrique and Rod have been collaborating on this wild monster of a hot rod 356. The …

While a 356's flat-four powerplant is light and compact, it is far from a desk-top piece. Giuseppe Guerini has approached this problem with an all-new 3D model of an early 356 engine, resulting in a resin model printed in 1:4 scale. Though the resin engine cannot run, the level of detail is impressive. The final build includes 250 pieces cast in …

I have a soft spot for the 356. I used to own one, albeit a rusty project car. In fact, this is my old car, which now lives in Saudi Arabia. The first one I ever drove was also a black T6 B, which had been upgraded with disc brakes from a C, and converted professionally from a Karmann Notchback to full Cabriolet(actually, this car, which has since …

After the Second World War there were more automakers than there are today. From Abarth to Zundapp, the automotive marketplace was a crowded and often bizarre place. Each segment offered a wide range of vehicles, with a range of shapes and build quality that would baffle a modern buyer. In order to keep the company moving forward, through difficult …

It's odd to think of a Magnus Walker car as owing anything to a modern, watercooled Porsche. Placed side by side, Magnus' latest 964 owes a lot to the 991 GT3 RS. The two cars share their double-bubble roof and radiused fender louvers, along with unique RS-specification powerplants. Magnus' 964 may owe even more to the 991 in this video, as this …

By current Outlaw-356 standards, Mark Pribanic's 356A is pretty mild. While some guys spend years in the garage trying to see how far they can take their build, Mark tries to see how far he can take his car. Mark picked up his 356 in the late 1990s for eight thousand dollars, and has covered 250k miles since then. In that time it's been three …

Porsche and Jaguar have been vying for roughly the same segment of the sports car marketplace for as long as both brands have existed. Car Advice recently released a comparison of the F-Type and Boxster, which drew me backwards through the history of both brands' entry-level sports cars. In recent months I've had the pleasure of driving several …
