8/3/20219:02 estFiled to: Porsche 917By: Bradley Brownell

Imagine for a moment, if you will, driving a 52-year-old Le Mans prototype worth several millions of dollars on public streets.

Inside the Rennsport VI Family Photo

9/28/20184:21 estFiled to: Porsche Car ShowsBy: Chris Cushing

Thirty-eight historic Porsches graced the straight at Laguna Seca for the Rennsport VI family photo. Thirty-six cars, and two Porsche tractors. The presence of any one of these cars at a normal event would be noteworthy. If any one row of the included cars arrived at most events, it'd be the talk of the show. Perhaps that speaks to just how special …

Creating the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed Sculpture

7/14/201810:43 estFiled to: Porsche Car ShowsBy: Chris Cushing

At its base the fifty-two meter sculpture is just 12cm across. Its widest section contains six points holding six Porsches. Yes, real Porsches. You can see through the clear windows and into the interiors, and the underpinnings are visible from below. These are not hollow fiberglass display pieces, but artfully suspended real vehicles. Designed by …

The Truffle Hunter Returns to Le Mans in 2018

6/3/201812:51 estFiled to: FIA World Endurance ChampionshipBy: Chris Cushing

What is your favorite cut of pork? Do you like a bit of cured Brust? Haxe? Koteletts? Huft? Perhaps you are an American, and prefer pork cracklins'? As a Porsche fan, you probably prefer your pigs whole and depicted over a short and stubby racing car. 917/20 claimed fame as the Pink Pig; a racer which appeared wider than it was long, emblazoned …

Top 5 Porsche air cooled models and engines

There are very few Porsche Top 5s the 917 can't win. Top 5 iconic motorsport models? For many people, that's 917, though Derek Bell understandably disagreed. Top 5 wildest Porsches ever used on the road? That's also a fight between the 917 and 962, but my nod still goes to the 917 thanks to Count Rossi and Joachim Grossman's bonkers road cars. Top …

Porsche’s Top 5 Motorsport Models With Derek Bell

2/20/20186:37 estFiled to: VideosBy: Chris Cushing

Who better to tell the history of Porsche competition cars than Derek Bell? Of his five Le Mans wins, four were in Porsches. Of his ten podium finishes at Le Mans, eight were in Porsches. He's competed in countless classes, and shared cars with everyone from Jacky Ickx and James Hunt to his son, Justin. Critically, Bell's career spanned from …

9/9/20179:18 estFiled to: Porsche PrototypesBy: Chris Cushing

There are unlikely stories, and then there is this. Five designers working for a Chinese car company, using company facilities in their off-hours, create a hypothetical Porsche racecar, one we've covered before.

What Does an 1100HP Porsche Sound Like?

8/3/20175:28 estFiled to: VideosBy: Pepper Girl

It's not a trick question and it's not meant to be click bait. Instead, its one of the questions Porsche answers in this bonus episode of their "Top 5" series. Another bonus question they answer for you, "How many beers can you stack on a Porsche's Whale Tail?" That's one you probably never thought to ask yourself. However, after watching this …
