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

10/15/20201:06 estFiled to: Porsche MotorsportsBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

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 ParryComment

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 ParryComment

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 Parry1 Comment

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 CushingComment

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 CushingComment

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 …

Watch This 700 HP 993 GT2 Make Quick Work of this Hill Climb Course in Portugal

7/24/20171:46 estFiled to: Porsche 993By: 993C4S1 Comment

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. Despite being one of the most popular races in Portugal (it attracts up to 200,000 spectators each year) the race was cancelled for numerous years (2002 - 2010) due to the failure of local …

10 Things We Learned About The New Porsche Macan GTS

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

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 Girl4 Comments

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 …

The Unequaled Porsche 2016 Amelia Island Auction Preview

3/2/20163:25 estFiled to: For SaleBy: Bradley Brownell4 Comments

There has been considerable discussion lately as to if the market has hit its peak and is starting to trend down. Most of that discussion revolves around the reduced sales numbers (year over year) from Scottsdale and Paris. However, what no one seems to be talking about, or even suggesting, is that maybe the lower sales numbers are a simple result …
