After building a couple air-cooled RSR lookalikes, Frank Cassidy found he was struggling to keep up with the modern GT-series Porsches on track days. As he frequents Silverstone, a fast circuit which rewards the powerful cars, Cassidy decided to try his hand at building something turbocharged. Cassidy, a fan of the air-cooled cars, chose a 993 …

Porsche Unveils An Even Tougher RS: The GT2 RS Clubsport
There is a rare breed of driver who can't quite stand anything that resembles a creature comfort. Even the thinnest carpet offends these serious folks. For those who would skip another meal in the name of another tenth off their best time, Porsche has released a meaner, leaner, even more exclusive version of their fastest RS. For better or worse, …
Continue to the full articleIs Porsche Testing a GT2-Based Racing Car?
The straightline speed is on a completely different level with this GT2-based racer. Armed with slick tires, an offensively large rear wing, the rear window inserts (read: air jack-equipped) from a Cup Car, and a bodykit with even more cutouts and canards, it's safe to assume this Porsche is some test mule for what could be an upcoming racing …

This three-way dance could inspire feelings of hatred or admiration for different generations of Porsche, depending on your own driving style. Clearly, our camera man, sitting behind the wheel of a well-sorted 993 RSR, is the winner where talent is concerned. However, at the ultra-fast Magny Cours, power goes a long way in compensating for lack of …

Though the 993 GT2 might be known as a wild fire-breather to most, it seems one Dutchman found it a bit tame for his tastes. This monster, based off a 964 Turbo but turned into a wild 993 Evo replica, is tuned by Belgium's DUXE to produce obscene grunt and deploy it without a hiccup. Though they're a bit cagey about releasing the actual …

Though it's not a common sight seeing a Porsche 911 go sideways in such a stylized fashion, this one does look fairly natural doing it. Tuned by KA-TUN, a Japanese racing outfit, this 964 is meant to slide gracefully at speed. To do so, it sports massive wheel spacers, Bride seats (drifters adore them), the toe and camber settings conducive to …
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 …

Porsche announced a partnership with Microsoft's Forza Motorsport franchise during the New York International Auto Show, proving once again that ending their long-running exclusive partnership with Electronic Arts was a wise decision. In addition, Porsche recently confirmed their inclusion in Gran Turismo Sport, iRacing and Assetto Corsa giving the …

Last week, there were a couple of auctions in Great Britain, an RM Sotheby's auction in London, and a Bonhams auction run in conjunction with the Goodwood Revival vintage races. With all the other things we had going on, we missed out on creating a preview for you, but we've come back with a recap. There were a number of lots that sold for well …

The whole idea of "N+1" implies a problem with an unattainable solution. I collect antique cameras, and will never have enough eyes or hands to use them all simultaneously, but somehow I always want more and struggle to find time for all of them. My dad has six motorcycles. Being merely mortal he has but one set of hands and feet, but still finds …
