"You can't really have a favorite shift with a paddle shift, can you?", says Catchpole in this recent Carfection video exploring the loveliness of a proper manual gearbox. A nicely tuned dual-clutch flappy-paddle gearbox is a glorious thing on a race track, they're perfect, but maybe a little too perfect. There is something to be said for enjoying …

Glorious Noise from the Eighth Porsche Sound Nacht
Porsche hosts a celebration of noise. How magnificent is that? Now in its eighth year, Sound Nacht has grown from its past in a large conference hall to center stage of the Porsche arena. Just under 4,000 Porsche fans showed up to come bask in the auditory triumphs of their favorite brand. The exhibition featured thirteen cars, with sounds ranging …

A couple of months ago, back during June's 70th anniversary celebrations, Porsche took the covers off of a brand new Speedster concept model, based on the 991.2 chassis with a 500-horsepower GT3-based engine providing motivation. It was a properly good looking concept that was extraordinarily close to production ready. It used a lot of …

We've had "Project Boxster Clubsport" for quite a while now, but it's been dormant for over a year and it's time to rectify that. We purchased the Porsche for a song, and have been slowly making some moves to drop the car's weight and add a little more fun. It's an excellent Porsche to drive, but it's in a pretty sorry state right now, and we want …

Amid the rolling Dutch dunes, the circuit of Zandvoort provides plenty of high-speed corners to test the hot-blooded sports cars of the 911 range. With technical sections, lots of camber, and heavy braking zones, it's a varied and challenging course that once hosted Formula 1 in the seventies and eighties. Fortunately, we're able to see how the …

With his wife Petra co-driving, Ruben Zeltner shows how to take a 997 Cup Car by the scruff of its neck and bend it around corners strewn with dirt. The German rally ace uses forceful approach—flicking the car on entry and dabbing the handbrake—to avoid understeer and "bend" the car into the tighter hairpins. https://youtu.be/H6WwNsyG_mc This …

It seems like just yesterday we were hearing about Porsche's wild 918 Spyder taking the new VIR production track record during C/D's Lightning Lap in 2014. That record was taken down just last year when they ran a Ford GT just one tenth of a second faster than the 918. One tenth of a second seemed right at the time, and a massive step forward for …

Unfortunately for John Shoffner, his last VLN race at the Nurburgring ended before he could collect points. On the bright side, he managed to walk away from this horrific crash without as much as a scratch—a testament to the remarkable sturdiness of the modern GT3 Cup. Running with J2 Racing for another weekend of the Carrera Cup, his race …

It seems that sometime in the late 1990s people that made skate videos split into two camps. One camp went down the rabbit hole of CKY and Jackass, while the rest wanted to show the world that what their parents dismissed as boorish and juvenile could be beautiful. We will probably reap the benefits of beleaguered skaters for decades, as the look …

Few racing outfits find the newest GT2 RS in need of modification, but Manthey found a few areas which could be improved. With tweaks to the suspension and the aerodynamics, their GT2 RS MR logged a lap of 2:31.00 around Spa-Francorchamps, where the Koenigsegg One:1 took 2:32.1 seconds to log its best. The Swedish hypercar's attempt might've …
