At this point, if you're a Porsche fan, you might not recognize the name Rob Dickinson, but you definitely know his company, Singer Vehicle Design. The Porsche 911 Re-imagined by Singer is, in my humble opinion, the ultimate in Porsche porn and as such has been the subject of more videos then Jenna Jameson. That's why when XCAR emailed us this …

The Logistics Nightmare Of Shipping Porsche’s 919 Hybrid LMP1 All Over The World
Porsche's inaugural attack on the FIA's World Endurance Championship in 2014 came with a host of challengers, most notably in the form of Audi and Toyota, not to mention the challenges of pace and reliability inherent in any endurance racing championship. Throughout the season, however, there was one challenge faced by the team that had nothing to …
Continue to the full articleWhat Is A Climatic Wind Tunnel And Why Did Porsche Just Purchase One?
A climatic wind tunnel is pretty much what it sounds like. It allows car manufacturers to simulate a wide range of environmental conditions including the full solar spectrum, humidity control, hot road simulation, even snow generation all under a wide range of wind speeds. In other words, you can replicate any climate, anywhere in the world, and …

In the glory days of the 917, one of my favorites was Jo Siffert. An accomplished F1 driver, he found the big sports cars a good fit as well, and slipped easily back and forth during the season. Having piloted a 906 at Sebring in 1966, he had been in a 910 in 1967 , and won that race outright in a 907 with Hans Hermann in 1968. A 908 he shared with …

After scoring their second LMP1 podium at last month's WEC race in Japan, the team was looking to capitalize on that momentum. Qualifying went very well, as Romain Dumas took the pole position from Toyota by the tiniest of fractions of a second. It would seem that every race that goes by, Porsche is getting just a little closer to that first …

Sometimes, in order to take things to the next level, you really need to take a few steps backward. Rod Emory has been building Porsche 356s for a long long time, and he uses technology from the days when the cars were new. With a family tradition of building hot rods and custom cars, Mr. Emory's 356 builds tend to be somewhat outside the norm of …

By now you may have seen the leaked picture of Porsche's newest model, the 991 generation 2015 GT3 RS. By model, I don't mean a variant of their current motor car lineup, I mean a 1:43 scale die cast model. The model itself, judging by the packaging and the font used on the base, appears to be one of the officially licensed 'Porsche Design Driver's …

When it comes to Formula 1, the "silly season" is arguably more exciting than the regular season. The current rumors have Sebastian Vettel leaving Red Bull for Ferrari, Fernando Alonso leaving Ferrari to return to McLaren with Honda engines, and Jenson Button being pushed out of his position at McLaren to make room for the Spaniard's arrival. …

Recently, the collector Porsche market has been going absolutely wild, and nowhere is that more evident than the valuation of particularly clean examples of the 993-generation 911 Turbo and Turbo S. These are cars that, just a few short years ago, could be purchased for a fraction of their current values, so why the sudden shift? Is this …

As I was watching this video, I couldn't help but feel slightly overcome by the steady marching wave of ever advancing technology in cars. Then I almost fainted in sheer terror at the thought of riding a motorcycle at 194 miles per hour. Autocar pits a Porsche 918 against a McLaren P1, and then throws in a Ducati Panigale Superleggera just for …
