Imagine for a moment, if you will, driving a 52-year-old Le Mans prototype worth several millions of dollars on public streets. You know, public streets, where any dingus in a Hyundai Santa Fe could just run a stop sign and run headlong into, on top of, and vaults over you and your Gulf Oil-liveried wedge on wheels. When you're a certified badass …

Rare Porsche 356 America Roadster Scores 3rd In Class At Pebble Beach Concours
It isn't often that a Porsche is invited to roll across the lawn at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. And when one is, it's not likely you'll see another grace the same grass in the same year. Such was the case this year when Road Scholars, the Raleigh-based Porsche restoration specialist shop, was invited to bring a freshly-done …

The auctions in Monterey offered a little something for everyone. Gooding set a world record for the highest price ever paid for a Porsche ($14,080,000 for a 1970 917K) and Mecum had perhaps the steal of the century for a daily drive with a 2007 911 Turbo selling for just $50,000. Below we've listed the sell price of every Porsche we found …

A couple of weeks ago we got a message from Michelin asking if we'd like to judge on their behalf during the PCA's WERKS Reunion Porsche concours, a pretty big part of Monterey Car Week. Ready for any challenge, of course we said we'd be honored to do so. Michelin Tires is one of the main sponsors of WERKS [and here at FLATSIXES.com], and as such …

Last weekend, during Monterey Car Week, we were given a chance to step into the future and check out the new Panamera in the flesh. This Porsche is a beauty that everyone seems to agree is much more beautiful than the model it replaces.

This year in Monterey, there was some good and some less than good. We saw quite a few cars go unsold, but there were a number that met or exceeded their high estimate price. Some high-dollar Porsche lots were among those unsold, including the 550 Spyder, GT2 Evo, and both 962s. The 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Homologation car was withdrawn prior to the …

Sports car racing in the 1970s and 1980s was a very special time. The Porsche 911 was one of very few cars which participated in both Group 4 and Group 5 racing. While the largely production-based 934 tackled Group 4, the wild 935 silhouette cars played in Group 5. With as much as 800-horsepower on tap, these were mythic beasts in every sense of …

We literally saw thousands of Porsches this weekend in Monterey. It was a case of overload, for sure. Everywhere you looked, there was something rare and amazing. It's hard not to get distracted by all of the myriad goings on and happenings. We managed to narrow our Porsche picks down to just twenty, so here they are, our favorite Porsches that we …

Friday Friday morning, the time on the clock reads four hundred hours. Reno is uncharacteristically quiet and calm at this time of day, as we're only the city that nearly never sleeps. Thursday evening, I'd rolled my suitcase into the trunk of Project Boxster and packed a few bottles of water for the early morning journey. The traditional and …
