Porsche's Taycan has been a point of contention among automotive enthusiasts lately, arguing that it's too expensive, or has too short of a range, or that it's not a "real Porsche". We truly loved the Taycan Turbo S when we got an opportunity to test it last year. And it feels like the future of not only Porsche, but sports cars in general. Even if …

Two Takes on What 992 Turbo S is Like to Drive and Live With
The climb to the daily-drivable supercar has been a long one. While the Miura was nicely appointed, it was the later Maserati Bora that showed the world that a world-beating supercar could actually be a civilized machine. Porsche cemented that idea a few years later with the original Turbo Carreras of the mid-1970s, and ever since other models from …

When Matt Farah left the potholed streets of New York for sunny Los Angeles, he didn't anticipate the roads to be so lousy. The pockmarked streets of the sprawling city required something with suspension travel—something which could absorb undulations. Though his large-but-comforting Ford Raptor was supple enough, he still wanted something small …

"You don't lock the doors when you're driving, you don't even really close them all the way," is not something I've ever heard in a review before, but such is life in a Koenig C62. Not much about this car is like anything you've seen on a normal road car before. Unlike Groups 5 and 6 which were replaced quite rapidly by Group C in the early 1980s, …

If you want the best Boxster money can buy, you get the new Spyder. With gorgeous and aggressive bodywork from Porsche's GT division to match its newly found suspension tweaks and a new 4-liter engine, the new Boxster Spyder is a good bit more hardcore than the previous iteration. Whereas the old Boxster Spyder featured a more road-going compliant …

We know the Taycan Turbo S. We love the Taycan Turbo S. It's not just another electric car with a quick 0-60 time. It's not just some commuter box that is comfortable and quiet. It's a proper sports car. Forget all that, it's a proper Porsche. This thing has all of the touchstones of a real deal European sports car with just bucket …

Porsche really wanted to make a splash with the new 992-generation of its iconic 911. The company invited several automotive journalists, including friend of the site Matt Farah, to Germany to drive the new 911 around for a couple of days. So far, that's pretty standard for how this industry works. Then came the unorthodox bit. Porsche instructed …

"This is the most track-focused, surgically precise, lightest, most downforcey 911 that you can buy," Farah begins. The stance and aerodynamic additions leave nobody guessing what this monster is meant to do—as will the exhaust note. At 9,000 rpm, the scream the 4.0-liter makes sounds like Armageddon—the good kind. We're all familiar with the car, …

We love Leh Keen's Safari 911s. In keeping with our belief that the 911 is a perfect all-rounder, lifting one and fitting knobby tires seems to take nothing from the experience. Mr. Keen's cars are brilliant, and Matt Farah's personal car is one of the most interesting of the lot. Farah's Safari is finished in Cassis Red, a rather polarizing and …

Back when /DRIVE was making videos regularly, Joe Rogan's Sharkwerks-tuned 997 RS made a special appearance. Throw it back nine years, and its slightly bigger brother has found its way into the hands of Matt Farah, whose enthusiasm for these hot-rodded GT3 RSs flows out of him by the bucketful. 2007 997.1 GT3 RS …
