Inside the Boxer Engine with Hans Mezger

3/27/201812:28 estFiled to: VideosBy: Chris Cushing2 Comments

Hans Mezger is 88 years old, and his career designing engines spans decades. Mezger's hands were in everything from the 1960's Porsche Formula 1 racers to the 911 GT1. His engines remained in 911s through the 997 GT3 4.0 and 997.1 Turbo. It really feels as though everything Porsche produced since is compared to the Mezger flat-sixes. This family of …

An Exercise In Traction: The Top 5 Fastest Accelerating Porsches

3/21/20185:17 estFiled to: VideosBy: Chris Cushing1 Comment

The current iteration of the horsepower wars is frankly a bit absurd. Today's fastest street cars would be required to have full roll cages and chassis certification under NHRA rules. Even the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is fast enough to require a 6-point cage to make passes at your local drag strip. For the last several decades mind-bending …

Top 5 Most Thrilling Attributes of the 991.2 GT2 RS

3/14/201812:27 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Chris Cushing1 Comment

Narrowing down the most thrilling attributes of the GT2 RS is a challenge. The whole car is made of compressed and distilled superlatives. This 700 horsepower monster holds the top Nurburgring lap record, and exhales with such ferocity that Porsche test driver Lars Kern promises the titanium exhaust will be glowing after a hardcore track session. …

Top 5 Air-Cooled Porsche Models with Patrick Long

3/6/201810:48 estFiled to: VideosBy: Chris CushingComment

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 …

What Does an 1100HP Porsche Sound Like?

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

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 …

Porsche Teases New 2017 Exclusive Model in Latest Top 5 Video

3/22/20179:19 estFiled to: VideosBy: Pepper Girl11 Comments

Porsche dropped their latest Top 5 Video today featuring five four of the most memorable Porsche Exclusive models they've produced. The list consists of 911s that were produced in very limited number (some as few as 13) but no real one-offs. I, for one, would have liked to see them make mention of this 935 race car that was converted to a …

Did You Know Porsche Built a Cayenne Cabriolet as a Concept?

3/16/201710:15 estFiled to: Porsche PrototypesBy: Pepper GirlComment

Cayenne Cabriolet Concept

Of all the Top 5 Series so far, I think this episode is my favorite. I love Porsche's concept cars and this video features one I didn't even know existed, a Cayenne Cabriolet. We've seen a Cayenne Cabriolet before in the aftermarket, but never something directly from Stuttgart. In this instance, I'm glad it remained as just a concept as I'm not …

Porsche Considers These To Be Their Top 5 On Track Milestones

3/10/20176:01 estFiled to: VideosBy: Pepper GirlComment

Porsche has a long and storied history in the world of international sports car racing, perhaps one of the most impressive on any modern day car manufacturer. Porsche's racing heritage begins in 1948 when chassis No. 1 wasn't even 5-weeks old. Herbert Kaes, Ferdinand Porsche's nephew, drove the now famous Porsche in its first race (the first race …

These are the Top 5 motorsport technologies that have transferred to the road according to Porsche

3/1/20173:16 estFiled to: VideosBy: Chris CushingComment

Every Porsche has a strong connection to the brand's motorsports history, even if not all have been used in competition. The advances Porsche makes in motorsports frequently make their way to the brand's road cars, and often quickly. The racing variant of the 356 introduced a fully synchronized gearbox in 1951, and the technology appeared in the …

Are These The 5 Best Wings Porsche Has Ever Designed?

2/22/201712:24 estFiled to: VideosBy: 993C4SComment

The wings and spoilers on Porsches were always meant to be functional. They're part of an entire system of aerodynamic grip, that works in conjunction with mechanical grip (suspension and tires) to allow your Porsche to go faster. To go faster you need power and a Porsche's engine produces plenty of that. However, there's a limit to how much …
