This 997 GT3-R shouts its Mezger song in the hills of Portugal

5/31/202211:08 estFiled to: Porsche MotorsportsBy: Bradley Brownell

With a sonorous spin up of its 4-liter naturally aspirated flat six, José Silvino Pires' 911 GT3 R racer blasts a small layer of rear tire rubber into smoke and blasts away from the start line of the Rampa da Falperra hillclimb. This car started life as a specially prepped race car built for the GT3 class of international sports car racing. Porsche …

Celebrate Jeff Zwart’s Porsche 935 Pikes Peak Run With This Gorgeous Video

10/15/20201:06 estFiled to: Porsche MotorsportsBy: Bradley Brownell

When Jeff Zwart announced he'd be headed back to Pikes Peak for another run up the mountain in a bone-stock Porsche 935, we got extremely excited. While he hasn't raced on the mountain in a few years, he's still an incredible talent and has won his class numerous times in Porsche vehicles. This year being an extremely weird year, Zwart actually had …

Ever Seen a 959 Running A Hillclimb? Now You Have

4/8/20208:11 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

Though the tech-heavy 959 was made into a Paris-Dakar competitor, the plans for a Group B-destined 961 resulted in one prototype. The latter went to Le Mans, where it finished seventh in 1986, as well as Daytona. After that, the 959-based racers never saw sanctioned action again. Some Porsche builders weren't too happy with this. Santarelli …

Watch This 700-HP Porsche 935 Kremer K3 Tackle A Narrow Hillclimb With Ease

3/23/202010:13 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

Navigating a narrow mountain pass requires a set of characteristics which don't necessarily lend themselves to wide, fast, open road courses. When you consider the lag of an antiquated turbo motor, broad tires which tramline over the smallest surface changes, and a spool instead of a limited-slip differential, getting around hairpins doesn't sound …

Driving This Porsche 934/5 Up A Slick Hillclimb Looks Super Sketchy

1/14/20208:01 estFiled to: Vintage RacingBy: Tommy Parry

Many think it takes self-belief that borders on megalomania to graze a mountain road's guardrails in a turbocharged 911. As it turns out, some of the race-bred machines of this era and configuration are planted and confidence-inspiring—even when it's wet out. Alexandre Comby, a Swiss hillclimber with some experience in lively Porsches, decided …

Incredibly Skilled Drone Pilot Races GT3 While Riding Shotgun In Car He’s Racing

7/18/201811:30 estFiled to: Porsche vs.By: Chris Cushing

The Goodwood Hillclimb course up the Duke of Richmond's driveway is 1.86 kilometers (1.16 miles) long. A blazing fast run up the hill takes about 50 seconds, and includes nine corners and a number of hazards for the racers. One of the straights is stone lined, a far cry from nice, soft Armco. While a fast car can make short work of the hill, could …

Cayman GT4 Clubsport Class Coming To Pikes Pike

4/4/201812:27 estFiled to: Porsche MotorsportsBy: Chris Cushing

Porsche's first motorsports win came in 1948 with Porsche no. 1 at a hill climb. Since then, Porsche has regularly participated in hill climb events. The brand has even built specialized cars, like the 909 Bergspyder which was recently featured in the Top 5 series as the lightest Porsche model. Drivers like Jeff Zwart and Porsche factory Driver …

First held in 1927, the Falperra International Hill Climb follows a 3.2 mile course, climbing 860 vertical feet, to the summit of Falperra in Bragua, Portugal.

10 Things We Learned About The New Porsche Macan GTS

6/15/201610:23 estFiled to: Porsche MacanBy: Bradley Brownell

Last weekend we were given the opportunity to experience the new Macan GTS ahead of its official launch here in the US. Over the course of two days in the Colorado Rockies, we had the chance to flog the Macan in high altitude conditions. In the process, we learned quite a lot about how it performs, and why this just might be the best sporty CUV out …

5 Minutes Of Pure Porsche 718 RS 60 Hillclimb Bliss

6/7/201611:09 estFiled to: Porsche RS60By: Pepper Girl

A few weeks ago Petrolicious featured a video showcasing the connection between Porsche's new 718 and the original. They did so in their typical cinematic fashion and even recruited Porsche great Derek Bell to costar with the 718 RS that won the Targa Florio back in 1960. It was a fantastic story and even better video. If you haven't watched it …
