How Do Porsche’s Sim Racers Differ From Its Real World Racers?

1/16/202012:52 estFiled to: Porsche MotorsportsBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche has invested heavily in esports racing, and has developed a crew of high-level sim racers. These virtual drivers are often as talented at piloting a virtual car as Porsche's factory team is at piloting the real thing in meatspace. They both have training regimens, strict diets, and the rigors of endurance racing. Obviously the simulator …

Here Are Some Of The Loudest Porsche Race Cars Of All Time

1/23/20199:00 estFiled to: VideosBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche's glorious flat six engine is known for its sonorous high-RPM note, and when the engine is unmuffled, it only sounds better, but is also much louder. Often times, at big racing events, the Porsche competitors are driving the loudest cars on track. There are some Porsche engines that are even louder than that, however, as the 928's V8 can …

Porsche’s Top 5 Fastest Road-Legal Cars

12/19/20188:23 estFiled to: Porsche FactoidsBy: Tommy Parry

When a car as fearsome and fast as the latest 911 Turbo S is bringing up the rear, you know you're in for a spectacular list of supercars. Though each these five were approached in different ways, in different times, with distinct aims, but the through-line with all these is their outrageous speed. The 991 Turbo S is one of the fastest off the …

The 5 Cars Dr. Wolfgang Porsche Calls His Favorites

5/10/20181:40 estFiled to: VideosBy: Bradley Brownell

In Porsche's most recent Top 5, the final video of season 2, Wolfgang Porsche himself is on screen to talk about the cars from his collection that resonate most with his sensibilities. Like the rest of his family, he's a sensible German man with a fun side. He likes to enjoy the finer things in life, like a pair of string-back driving gloves and a …

Inside the Boxer Engine with Hans Mezger

3/27/201812:28 estFiled to: VideosBy: Chris Cushing

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 Cushing

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 Cushing

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 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 …

Top 5 Features of the 918 Spyder with Baby Driver’s Ansel Elgort

2/15/20187:54 estFiled to: Porsche 918 Spyder, VideosBy: Chris Cushing

Ansel Elgort's "Baby" from the Edgar Wright film Baby Driver is the classic imperturbable action hero. Much like Steve McQueen's Frank Bullitt, Baby is a man of extremely few words. Baby Driver is also a wizard behind the wheel. In the film, Baby flings a variety of cars through Atlanta, ranging from a Subaru Impreza to a Dodge Challenger Hellcat. …
