The 914-6 and the Cayman GT4: Siblings Separated by Fifty Years

10/8/201912:00 estFiled to: Porsche 914, Porsche CaymanBy: Tommy ParryComment

Small, light, uncorrupted by gadgets, and honest. Both the 914-6 and the Cayman GT4 might not be the most powerful of the most focused Porsches, but my do they deliver the goods. Enough power in a perfectly balanced chassis is a recipe which will always go far. Fifty years ago, Porsche began developing a six-cylinder mid-engined road car, and the …

Chris Harris Thinks The New Boxster Had a “Personality Transplant”

5/15/20178:23 estFiled to: Porsche BoxsterBy: Pepper Girl3 Comments

And he doesn't think it's a good thing. By now, we all know that the 718 Boxster switched from a normally aspirated flat-six to a turbo charged flat-four. On paper the new Boxster is better in almost every way than its predecessor. It's faster zero to 60, faster zero to 100 and faster overall with a top speed of 177 MPH. As Chris says, "that's …

Video: Is This Porsche’s Mid-Engined 911 RSR?

10/24/20169:58 estFiled to: FIA World Endurance ChampionshipBy: 993C4S9 Comments

Earlier this year Porsche "unveiled" their replacement for the 911 RSR. However, conspiracy theorists quickly jumped on the reveal noting that Porsche failed to provide any technical details, profile pictures or the all important shots of the rear-end.

A Texas Tango With The 718 Twins: 2017 Boxster & Cayman Review

9/26/20169:59 estFiled to: Porsche Boxster, Porsche CaymanBy: Bradley Brownell4 Comments

I busied myself with ashing a half-Lucky Strike when the phone rang. On the other end was a dame called 'opportunity'.

1970 914-6: The Forgotten Porsche

5/14/20147:52 estFiled to: Porsche 914By: Bradley Brownell3 Comments

The tiny two-seater, especially in 6-cylinder guise, as this one is, has to be one of the best driving cars Porsche ever produced, and in its day was a true force to be …

Why Porsche Should Consider a Flat-Four Engine for the Boxster and Cayman.

3/9/20135:01 estFiled to: Porsche CaymanBy: Bradley Brownell17 Comments

The new Cayman was shown to the public late last year, and has already been met with laudatory remarks from auto scribes all over the world.  A beautiful mixture of creases and curves, the 2014 Cayman is sure to be a sales success.  The 981 Boxster is also receiving credit for its handling prowess, and the new Cayman will surely add to that with …
