Was this Porsche 911 crash a result of street racing?

4/24/20229:39 estFiled to: Porsche AccidentsBy: Bradley Brownell

  Listen, street racing is bad. It's always a dumb idea and you should never do it. Especially in your Porsche. Just don't, okay? Now that we've gotten that out of the way we can all gather around and have a hearty laugh about this dork smoking the heck out of his 911 while (allegedly) trying to race a Honda Civic. This seems like a …

3/27/202211:56 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche Club of AmericaBy: Bradley Brownell

Recently Porsche partnered with the Porsche Club of America to create a one-off car to not only commemorate the relationship between everyone's favorite German sports car brand and the world's largest single-make owner's club, but as an exercise to show off the capabilities of Porsche Classic's special wishes program. The resulting car, a …

Porsche and Pixar team up once again to give Sally Carrera a makeover

3/11/20221:51 estFiled to: NewsBy: Bradley Brownell

It's been twenty years since the original Pixar's Cars animated film was released in theaters, and thus twenty years since the world was first introduced to Lightning McQueen's love interest Sally Carrera. The delicate blue 996-based character, voiced by Bonnie Hunt, was an instant Porsche movie icon. All these years later, Porsche is again working …

Ride Onboard a Manthey-Tuned 996 GT3 in These Stunning Surroundings

12/28/20205:59 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche GT2/GT3, Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry

Before Andreas Preuninger was onboard for his first big project, there was the 996.1 GT3. This first attempt at a hot, water-cooled 911 was criticized some for brakes not quite up to the task of hard lapping, but having a few rough edges added to its raw charm. This first attempt at a hot 911 with a water-cooled engine wasn't quite perfect, but …

996 Tuning: Making the Most of a Maligned Model

12/21/20206:18 estFiled to: Porsche 996By: Tommy Parry

Let's address this video's titular question. Can a few minor engine modifications make the 3.6-liter M96 rival—or better—a Mezger from a GT3? Well, no. Simply put, there's a vast chasm of difference between the mildest and the meanest in the 996 range, but the potential for a fun, uncompromising, stimulating, and quite special car can be had …

Testing the 911 GT1 Straßenversion on Slippery Scottish Roads

11/18/20204:35 estFiled to: FIA World Endurance Championship, Porsche 993, Porsche 996By: Tommy Parry

Take the front half of a street car, the rear half of a race car, fuse them in the center, eventually replace the headlights for a pair of "broken eggs" from a 996.1, and cloak the car in a mysterious aura. The 911 GT1 is one of those elusive halo cars that only few eyes are fortunate enough to see. Its odd proportions, uncommonly racey …

Testing a 580-HP 996 Turbo In The Ideal Situation

8/14/202010:21 estFiled to: Porsche TurboBy: Tommy Parry

His tone and cadence is Jeremy Clarkson, and his fashion sense is James May. JayEmm also has a knack for finding scenic locations and vibrant clothing.

Which is the Right 996 for You? A Primer on the Unloved Generation

7/20/20209:04 estFiled to: Porsche 996By: Tommy Parry

Love it or hate it, the 996 is an undeniably good value nowadays. With the more common models, the price point allows young enthusiasts to join the proud family of 911 owners. The GT range and more tech-heavy examples still command considerable money, and that's for good reason. At the top of the 996 totem pole are the GT3 and GT2, and those two …

Here’s Why The 996 Turbo Is The Steal Of The Century

7/17/20207:48 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche TurboBy: Tommy Parry

While some of us might've missed the best opportunity to grab one when the 996 Turbo was selling for little more than a well-optioned Civic, it remains a bargain. In its day, its top speed was something special; just five miles per hour shy of the coveted 200-mile-per-hour-mark. But beyond the obvious straightline shove, the 996 Turbo offered a …
