Given your choice of chassis with the same engine, would you choose a rear-engine car or a mid-engine one? The reality is that most of the people who can afford one can buy both, but for us regular folks all we can do is dream and bench race our favorite. This is the first time that Porsche has seen fit to equip the mid-engine car with a proper …

The Crawford Museum’s new Porsche exhibit shows how the 911 evolved from near-death to world-beating supercar
Back in 1981 Porsche had the 911 on the chopping block. The 928 was always intended to take over as the company's flagship model, and the 911 was destined to fade away into the history books. Even though the 911's popularity never really waned through the 70s and early 80s, it was just going to keep floating in the market without any updates until …

It is with a heavy heart that we must say goodbye to the Porsche 911 RSR factory squad after over a decade of incredible racing. The 991-generation 911 RSR will soldier on for one more season in the GTE Am class, but GTE Pro's time in the sun has faded to black. We will never again see the likes of Christensen, Bruni, Lietz, or Estre step behind …

It is becoming ever more clear that the Porsche 911 is about to enter a new era of extreme performance. For the last thirty years there has been a stark contrast between the 911 Turbo and the 911 RS/GT3 lines of thinking, where the Turbo models are about as high performance as you can get on the street, while the GT3 and RS lineups have been …

When you buy a used car, especially one that was a bargain, you expect a few things to be wrong with it. Not only does this include things that are broken or need a little TLC, but things that you personally want to change for the better enjoyment of the thing. After having lived with this 996 Turbo for over 2500 miles on the drive home from …
Continue to the full articleThe new Porsche 911 Carrera T is unquestionably the sweet spot of the lineup
We know the formula by now, or at least we should. Carrera T is to base Carrera as Carrera GTS is to Carrera S, right? As good as the new 992 GTS is, I'm getting the feeling this new T will be the one to pick. The GTS is just too fast to use on your favorite roads. I mean, I saw 1.4 lateral G indicated in a Targa model. That's just too much grip, …
Continue to the full articleI bought a cheap Porsche 911 Turbo and everything went wrong
Recently I've been looking for 996 Turbos because while they're rapidly appreciating in value, they're still one of the best bang for the buck Porsches out there on the market. They're half the cost of a 997 Turbo, and a third the cost of a 993 Turbo. Sure, that comes with the baggage of a cheap feeling interior and egg headlights (which I actually …

After months of waiting to see just how good Porsche's new 911 GT3 R would be under racing conditions against other GT3-spec machinery, we finally know. This car has been under development since 2019, and in typical Porsche fashion was not about to be released on the world without being properly developed. After three years of pounding around …

A few weeks ago my buddy Noah Wheeler asked me if he could apply for media credentials to Luftgekuhlt 8 on behalf of FlatSixes. Normally I'd yell "heck no" because I'd be there to experience that particular slice of Porsche heaven myself, but since the last Luftgekuhlt on the west coast, I've relocated to far flung Cleveland, Ohio, and couldn't …
Continue to the full articlePorsche wants to beat aerodynamics by making its cars vibrate
It's not really a secret that Porsche has a pretty strong grasp on aerodynamic efficiency. The company has been building road cars and race cars that use oncoming air to assist in their road holding abilities for decades, with wings and diffusers and kick ups and flaps. Porsche has also been working diligently to defy the oncoming air whenever …
