In a world of clean-cut, politically correct sportsmen, Mark Webber is refreshingly honest, humorous, and occasionally a bit rude. Webber is candid and transparent in front of the camera, which makes his love for the Porsche marque all the more special; he's never playing the insincere corporate spokesman. https://youtu.be/OP8mMQ6mMKI With a …

Porsche’s Top 5 Fastest Road-Legal Cars
When a car as fearsome and fast as the latest 911 Turbo S is bringing up the rear, you know you're in for a spectacular list of supercars. Though each these five were approached in different ways, in different times, with distinct aims, but the through-line with all these is their outrageous speed. The 991 Turbo S is one of the fastest off the …

Having the fastest production-based car around the 'Ring takes power, poise, and predictability. As an aside, I consider this car a genuine production car that's been optimized and not wildly modified, as the power output remains the same as the factory car, and the right elements of the car have been massaged just so to give the car added …

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.

It's quite easy to become desensitized nowadays as, for better or worse, driving a 700-horsepower car doesn't seem suicidal. Perhaps I'm just a little jaded, but cast your mind back fifteen years, when even 500 horsepower was something that seemed genuinely dangerous, almost a weapon. Well, perhaps it was then, and perhaps it is no longer. After …

There's something so satisfying about seeing the Nurburgring street-car crown returned to its rightful owner.

Back in the 1990s, Porsche's limited edition homologation special GT1 Strassenversion was the king of the hypercar heap. With a 536 horsepower turbocharged flat six, the GT1 was about as crazy as cars got twenty years ago. With a mid-engine layout and a curb weight of just 2535 pounds, it was an analog outlaw, almost impossible to drive quickly, …

Warning: Lots of inappropriate profanity in the footage above. For Lars Kern, the man who set the 991 GT2 RS' record lap at the Nurburgring, this might've seemed like a casual jaunt through the forest. Braking early, giving the slower cars a wide berth, and avoiding much curb hopping, he strings together a respectable lap that wouldn't come …
