The Porsche brand has a long and storied history at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The crested brand from Stuttgart has won several class victories at the mountain, many thanks to friend of FlatSixes, one Mr. Jeff Zwart. This year a grand total of fifteen Porsches are on the entry list for the event's 100th running, more than any other …

Video: Motor Trend Pits Porsche’s 911 GTS Against BMW’s M4 CS
300 KmPH on the German Autobahn in a pair of Germany's best sports coupes isn't a bad way to spend the day, even when it is raining. Following that up with a day at the Nürburgring is perhaps the best weekend we could ever imagine. MotorTrend's Jethro "DeathRow" Bovingdon and Jonny "LoverMan" Lieberman take these two German four-seat turbocharged …

Porsche has made a lot of 911s, more than one million 911s in fact. Porsche also made more than 60,000 356s. There were also nearly 200,000 944s, 120,000 914s, 61,000 928s, 150,000 924s, and around 13,000 968s.

It seems the automotive world has found a replacement for the Godzilla vs. 911 rivalry. It's not that Corvette vs. Porsche is anything new, it's just that it seems to be getting more and more attention lately.

The Porsche 911 family has long punched above its weight. When it launched in the mid 1960s, displacing just 2.0l, the 911 gained a reputation as a giant slayer on the race track. In 2016 the story is very much the same. The new 3.0l Carrera S isn't even the top of the 911 range, yet Motor Trend set it against some of the most fearsome driver's …

However, the video below, where Jonny Lieberman travels to the wilds of the Anza Borrego desert with the goal of determining which German SUV is best: the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG or the Porsche Macan Turbo, disappoints. Not because it isn't well produced or we …

There's an ongoing meme among automotive journalists that Motor Trend's "Jonny Lieberman ruins everything", but in this video, he doesn't ruin anything, except perhaps the idea that the 981 Cayman GTS is inferior to the 991 Carrera. The Cayman GTS is considered by many to be one of the best cars Porsche has ever built. Lieberman calls the …
