3D Printing a 1952 Porsche 356 Engine in 1:4 Scale

7/11/20175:41 estFiled to: MemorabiliaBy: Chris Cushing2 Comments

While a 356's flat-four powerplant is light and compact, it is far from a desk-top piece. Giuseppe Guerini has approached this problem with an all-new 3D model of an early 356 engine, resulting in a resin model printed in 1:4 scale. Though the resin engine cannot run, the level of detail is impressive. The final build includes 250 pieces cast in …

Chris Harris Thinks The New Boxster Had a “Personality Transplant”

5/15/20178:23 estFiled to: Porsche BoxsterBy: Pepper Girl3 Comments

And he doesn't think it's a good thing. By now, we all know that the 718 Boxster switched from a normally aspirated flat-six to a turbo charged flat-four. On paper the new Boxster is better in almost every way than its predecessor. It's faster zero to 60, faster zero to 100 and faster overall with a top speed of 177 MPH. As Chris says, "that's …

Video: Matt Farah Drives The 718 Cayman

10/5/20168:54 estFiled to: Porsche Cayman, VideosBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

We recently met up with Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire at the US press launch of the new 718 Boxster and Cayman in Austin, Texas. While there, the conversation obviously gravitated toward the car we were both there to test drive. For the most part, we had very similar opinions of the car. It drives like a dream. It's faster, more comfortable, and …

Porsche 718 Boxster

Porsche's Boxster has been around for 20 years. Can you believe that? Where does the time go? In that 20 years, the two-seat roadster has been through three generations and seen engines as large as 3.8 liters in the current Boxster Spyder. The 'new' car introduced here gives the Boxster a slightly revised name, a slightly revised visual appearance, …

This POLO Engined 912 Out-911s The 911

5/26/201410:56 estFiled to: For SaleBy: Bradley Brownell7 Comments

The original concept for the engine in this car was drawn on a bar napkin by one Mr. Chuck Beck (of replica spyder and 904 fame, among other things). The way he tells it, his fiberglass Beck Spyder was only legal for a certain class of competition if it carried a Porsche-based four cylinder engine, and he figured he could get a lot more power out …

3/9/20135:01 estFiled to: Porsche CaymanBy: Bradley Brownell17 Comments

The new Cayman was shown to the public late last year, and has already been met with laudatory remarks from auto scribes all over the world.  A beautiful mixture of creases and curves, the 2014 Cayman is sure to be a sales success.  The 981 Boxster is also receiving credit for its handling prowess, and the new Cayman will surely add to that with …
