This period-raced 911 S could be your Sports Purpose

2/6/20236:20 estFiled to: For SaleBy: Bradley Brownell

Coming up for auction early next month at the Amelia Island weekend is this 1968 Porsche 911 S Coupe. Once the FIA relegated the 911 R to Group 6 Prototype classification, Porsche decided to offer many of the parts from that project as after-sales add-ons in a 60-page Sports Purpose Handbook. This allowed customer racers to add factory racing parts …

Here’s What It’s Like To Drive The Five Greatest Porsche GT Cars Of All Time

12/24/20203:11 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Bradley Brownell

It's a Christmas miracle! The five greatest Porsche GT cars were assembled in one place for a short time to allow the infamous Matt Farah to climb on board and hustle all five around the Porsche Experience Center track in Los Angeles. Five of the most important 911s of the watercooled era on one track? That sounds like the kind of experience every …

Why Porsche Doesn’t Owe Enthusiasts Anything, Really

7/17/20189:25 estFiled to: VideosBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche has been building cars longer than most people reading this have been alive. For seven decades they've been tearing up their own script and occasionally re-writing it wholesale. People complained when 356 production ended in favor of the heavier and more expensive 911. People complained when the 964 debuted because it had coil springs of …

Onboard a Manually-Shifted 991.1 GT3 RS

10/2/201712:39 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy Parry

For those who don't appreciate the precision, unfathomable shift speed, and ease of PDK, there is the option of swapping a 911R gearbox into a 991 GT3 RS. Of course, the 991.2 GT3 is available with a stick-and-clutch option soon, but some people are just plain impatient. One of those restless souls is Rob Janev, a Porschephile irked by the fact …

Peugeot 205 Rallye vs. Porsche 911R: A Fair Comparison?

9/6/20171:04 estFiled to: Porsche vs.By: Chris Cushing

I get to drive and photograph some very cool cars for a living, and for that I consider myself very fortunate. In that regard, Chris Harris is a much more fortunate. But, when you've experienced as many cars as Mr. Harris, do you become prone to making some absurd comparisons? Simply based on the title this latest video, comparing a 911R to a …

The $500,000 911R – Doug DeMuro’s Take

7/23/201711:55 estFiled to: Porsche Limited EditionsBy: Chris Cushing

I struggle with the collector car market. On one level, it's nice to see great cars finally getting their due on the open market. The obvious counterpoint is that "getting their due" often means pushing prices beyond reason. Let's just look at Carrera 3.2s as an example- when I was in college a "good" 1987 911 Carrera 3.2 would have traded in the …

The New 911 GT3: Is It as Good as a 911R?

5/20/20172:17 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Chris Cushing

To Jethro Bovingdon, yes. Yes it is. He already established that he loves the 911 GT3 on track, and now on the road, the story seems much the same. In the rain, mist, and greasy conditions often suffered by English journalists, the GT3 shone. How then does it compare to the instant-classic 911R? Does the ostensibly more focused GT3 give the …

Motor Trend Drives The 911R And Deem It Legendary

9/28/201611:38 estFiled to: Porsche Limited EditionsBy: Bradley Brownell

On paper, this Porsche seems like it would be a step backward from the GT3 RS. Yes it has the same 500 horsepower naturally aspirated engine, but almost everything else is different. There is a 6-speed manual gearbox, a narrower body and wheel set taken from the GT3. The fenders don't have those crazy louvers, and the rear quarters are smooth where …

From Hockenheimring to the Italian Job: 318km/h in a 911 R

7/18/201610:30 estFiled to: Porsche Limited EditionsBy: Chris Cushing

Sport Auto Hockenheimring Nivolet Pass

Combining the lightweight 911 R with an iconic track and one of Italy's most recognizable locations is a recipe for success. Sport Auto's Christian Gebhardt takes the naturally-aspirated 911 R to an astounding 318km/h. While many readers are probably familiar with the Hockenheimring, the Nivolet Pass may need more of an introduction. The Pass Colle …

This Is What It’s Like To Drive Porsche’s 911R At 200MPH!

6/8/20164:24 estFiled to: VideosBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche's newest high-performance driving experience, the 911R, doesn't have a rear wing, or any other kind of easily visible downforce-creating device, on the back. So how can it possibly manage high speeds without becoming scary to drive? How does the 911R keep its composure during high speed curves or rapid transition lane changes? When the …
