There is a case for driving your classic Porsches, and Makellos is certainly leading by example. This Porsche has been on a number of road trips and stacked on a few miles since they took ownership of it. Unlike a lot of classic cars, these old 911s can handle 6-figure odometer rollovers as long as they are properly maintained. And, if they're set …

Saabs may have been born from jets, but even the mightiest SPG has no place on a runway alongside the F-22 Raptor. The current 911 Turbo S has a spec sheet that reads more like the ultimate air superiority fighter than a mere road car. Dynamic roll control, dynamic boost, and a whole bevy of acronyms that sound more like missile systems than …

As the WEC's SuperSeason looms (named for the fact that it will take place over 14-months beginning this May), Porsche announced that it reached a deal to provide the series with all of its necessary track task cars.

Derek Whitacre and I seem to have similar priorities. Not all fun performance cars need to be set up for the track. Give up a little bit of spring rate, retain a bit of carpet, and suddenly the usability factor goes way, way up. That's not to say Mr. Whitacre's 1982 911SC is a mild or modest machine. This Porsche was built to attack Mulholland …

If you're a Porsche fanatic, chances are pretty great that some of your favorite cars from the brand's history are turbocharged. A lot of their greatest hits are powered by engines with exhaust-driven forced induction. Not only was Porsche a pioneer in turbocharged race cars, but they were among the first companies to sell a turbocharged street car …

This sort of publicity stunt is a near guaranteed crowd pleaser. Since Audi sent a 100 up a ski jump in 1986, it's been repeated several times, including by Audi themselves. While classic Audis worked wonderfully on snow, the original Quattro systems were decidedly old school. The driver-controlled locking diffs at the center and rear made for a …

If the striking color scheme of this 930 doesn't grab your eye, the athletic stance, incredible body language, and RSR bodywork ought to. Yet, despite its punchy exterior and its ferocious reputation, this one isn't a widowmaker, as the clever men at Patrick Motorsports have made it almost a pussycat—"almost" being the operative word here, of …

There is no Porsche more anachronistic than the slant-nose 911 Turbo. It could not have existed were it not for the flash, exuberance, and absolute wealth of the 1980s, and looks out of place in any other era (look to the 964 Flachbau and you'll know this to be true). This particular car, as featured in Matt Farah's One Take show, is painted in …
