"I love this car so much", Matt Farah says of the 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S, and we can't exactly blame him. The widebody bruiser is a mega machine, potentially the only Grand Touring Supercar in the world. With a sub-3 second zero to 60 time and a top speed over 200 miles per hour, it smashes basically anything from Ferrari or Lamborghini or …

The Maestro’s One-Off 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo RS
Porsche's magazine-of-record Christophorus has been slowly trickling out their featured articles for a few years now, and this is perhaps the greatest one we've seen in all that time. This odd-looking mid-70s 911 Turbo is a unique piece of RennSport heritage that we'd not heard of prior. It was commissioned for long-time Porsche driver, company …

At the end of October, Porsche conducted a private test at the Monza circuit in Italy. This isn't exactly newsworthy in and of itself, as things are likely getting a bit cold in Germany this time of year, so they've moved testing southward closer to the Equator. Porsche took over the famed Italian circuit to put a few cars through their paces, and …

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 …

Sandwiched in between a pair of spiffy Ray Bans and a wrapped rollcage, a GoPro captures some incredible footage of a 997 GT2 RS driven to and beyond the ragged edge of adhesion. After a few tire-warming laps, the fearsome grunt of the blown 3.6-liter is deployed and we get a glimpse into why this Porsche is so revered. It's not just rarity which …
Continue to the full articleA Look Back: Developing the 911 GT1
"Stretching the production car rules to the limit," the 911 GT1 started its life based largely off the design of the 993 GT2, a machine then competitive in classes like the BPR Global GT Series, but not wholly dominant. When McLaren began to steamroll its rivals in that category, which later became FIA GT1, an irked Porsche responded by developing …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0McJBBUiKMk With the air quite thin at the top of Pikes Peak (14,114' above sea level), forced induction is required to keep a competitive pace. Almost invariably, those at the sharp-end of the pack use turbos or superchargers, and this monster—titled "The Porsche 911 Turbo S GT3R America Cup"—uses a …

When you hand the keys of a narrow-tired 911 T/R to seasoned veteran like Patrick Long, you can expect fireworks. Clearly, Long is focused on wringing the classic Porsche's neck and not terribly concerned with its value, but when you've driven the variety of machinery he has, at the level he has, you can't expect him to participate in a …

Perhaps the appeal of a rat rod is the promise of a capable car underneath a tarnished hide. It's fair to assume that, with many rat rods, function follows form—they're artistic expressions first and foremost. Rarely are they made to be quite as incisive as this '70 Carrera, which, without any urethane in the suspension, guarantees a direct …
