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 …

Is the 981 GTS Peak Modern Porsche?
Turbocharging did not gain the Boxster and Cayman any fans. The models kindly picked up 911 fans' spare derision when the transaxle cars left production in the mid-1990s, and have carried the torch of poor public perception from their predecessors. Real enthusiasts should only be buying 911s after all, or so the line goes. Despite having something …

Porsche has long been a brand invested in evolution rather than revolution, though not all of their changes have immediately proven popular. When the much-loved (but admittedly slow-selling) 993 was replaced by the 996, fans balked. When the 991 moved to an all-turbocharged engine range in the non-GT models, fans clambored for the naturally …

The 986 Boxster is a gem, but don't tell anyone how great it is. For those of us who know, this is one of the greatest Porsches to drive, own, and enjoy. It's truly a sports car you can drive everyday [I can confirm, I daily drove a 986 for several years!]. Right now the 986 is one of the best values in sports car ownership on the market today. …

The Taycan is a seer, of sorts. As I sit down to the table with this car, it begs me to peer into its orbuculum for a glimpse of Porsches yet to come. The next decade of Porsche development is perhaps the most important the company has ever faced. Everyone in the automotive industry is pretty certain that battery electric is the future, but is …

Porsche has already confirmed that this will be the final generation of Macan to be powered by a gasoline engine, moving to a fully electric lineup in the next generation. The thing is, when Porsche changes tack, they always move the nameplate to its ultimate progression before making that commitment to change. The new Macan Turbo is perhaps the …

We all know that the 911 has grown a lot, but seeing Doug DeMuro next to this Lizard Green 992 has really cemented just how much. All 992s are now "widebody" cars, and as a result a base Carrera is a whopping 72.9" wide. That's 4.5" wider than a 993 (though perhaps about the same as a Carrera RS), or 3.2" wider than a 996. It's a full 10" longer …

Carfection, as per usual, has the best produced and most insightful video reviews on the internet. They've returned with Henry Catchpole to review the Taycan Turbo S on the road. As we already knew, the Taycan is a certified good car, and gets the unofficial Carfection seal of approval. But what it doesn't do is take the place of an internal …

The 964 RS America is an enigmatic part of Porsche's history. Americans weren't exactly suffering from an over abundance of money in the early 1990s, and Porsche Cars North America was suffering as a result. Prices of Porsche cars increased dramatically as the US Dollar weakened, and Porsche needed a way to get lower-priced cars into dealer …
