The Sports Car Club of America began a new championship in 1966, known as the “Trans-American Sedan Championship”.

The championship was split into two …

Updating The Porsche Bible: The New Edition Of Excellence Was Expected Is Bigger, Better, And More

11/1/20193:13 estFiled to: Porsche BooksBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

Karl Ludvigsen is simply in his element when it comes to the history of the Porsche brand. This epic set of tomes is the most complete history of Porsche that has ever been written by anyone, bar none, end of discussion. Since I started here at FlatSixes, I've relied on the old 2008 edition of this book to provide historical context and deep dive …

Book Review: Hurley – From The Beginning

5/5/20188:50 estFiled to: Porsche BooksBy: Bradley BrownellComment

There is no more appropriate time for our review of Hurley - From the Beginning to publish than the birthday week of the man himself. Hurley, now seventy years old, held a fifty-year racing career, and shows no signs of slowing down, even today. He's still a super quick driver, he's involved in motorsport to a level higher than anyone would ever …

Learn The Entire History Of The Porsche 911 In Just 13 Minutes

2/10/201811:10 estFiled to: VideosBy: Bradley Brownell2 Comments

Porsche is selling more cars than ever, and enthusiasm for their old cars is more widespread than we ever would have imagined. We love the 911, and we seriously enjoy when people who don't necessarily know the history of the brand learn a bit more. The more you know about Porsche, the harder it is to remain apathetic about the 911. If you've always …

This Rally-Raid Macan Wins The Award For Best Use Of A Macan

1/5/201811:07 estFiled to: Porsche MacanBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

While there are some who would hide them away as private jewels in a vault, many prefer to get out and flog their Porsches as often as humanly possible. The Macan, since its inception, has been truly built to …

Book Review: Porsche 70 Years by Randy Leffingwell

11/17/20176:15 estFiled to: Porsche BooksBy: Bradley BrownellComment

Randy Leffingwell is a writer that I respect greatly. I met him once at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance years ago, and he could not have been a nicer and more encouraging fellow [Randy was actually one of our first interviews years ago]. Randy's primary source material tends to bounce between Mustangs, Corvettes, and Porsches, all of which I …

A Brief History of the 356: Origins

2/17/20174:16 estFiled to: Porsche 356By: Chris CushingComment

history of porsche 356

After the Second World War there were more automakers than there are today. From Abarth to Zundapp, the automotive marketplace was a crowded and often bizarre place. Each segment offered a wide range of vehicles, with a range of shapes and build quality that would baffle a modern buyer. In order to keep the company moving forward, through difficult …
