Crossed Up: Sideways in a GT3 RS
Porsche might not be a brand that normally comes to mind when talking about drifting, but Porsche drivers have been pitching their cars sideways for decades. From the 356, through to the most modern 918 Spyder drifting on ice, Porsches are no strangers to big angles. D. Rawberts takes being crossed up to a whole new level, however, with a wild …

Porsche is obviously putting a big push on for to show just how capable their entire model line-up is in the snow. We saw first hand at Camp4 Canada a few weeks ago how well the 911 and Cayman can do. Additionally, most of us know that the Cayenne handles as well off-road as it does on, but sometimes it's hard to translate that knowledge to the …

I'm not sure I would have the cojones to do what this guy is doing in the video below. Granted it's a closed course in a controlled environment. However, that "controlled" environment is still an ice-track in the freezing cold temperatures of Finland. And, if I remember correctly, while carbon fiber itself doesn't get brittle in cold, the panels …

If you're a car guy or girl, and you've been somewhere other than living under a rock since 2008, you will have no doubt at least heard of Ken Block and his "Gymkhana" videos on YouTube. The recipe is simple, take one modified car, drive it fast, make lots of handbrake turns, do donuts around cones, do wild lurid drifts, and generally act like a …

That's the question we asked ourselves when we saw the video below. Then it hit us. You do it because you can! Let's face it, if you have the opportunity to take a Panamera (or any Porsche for that matter) out on the ice-covered track of Camp4 Canada you would do the same thing. The biggest difference is you're not Porsche factory driver Romain …

Autocross not your thing? Driver's Ed a bit too tame for you? Have you considered drifting a Porsche? If so, JIC-Magic just might have your answer. Spotted on eBay is this 1996 Porsche 993 (Euro based lightweight) with a heavily modified 3.8 twin turbo motor and more modified suspension parts than you can shake a stick at. (If you can't view …

This following video is narrated in German (auf Deutsch), but the sound of the motor and the driving speak for themselves. I have to give you fair warning, it is over 5 minutes long (and it's more education vs. driving between 2:15 and 3:30) but the best driving and camera work comes after 3:30, even a little slow motion drifting). Watch as …

It's snowed like crazy in the North East on Monday and that got me to thinking about the 993 in the snow and how it would handle. I'm told by some friends (who drive their cars in the New England Winter weather) that with snow tires it's no problem at all and the Carrera 4 or C4S handles better than most SUVs. Anyway, I decided to do a quick …
