This 1986 944 Turbo Just Sold For $74,000: Is It A Sign Of Things To Come?

2/8/20198:44 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Chris CushingComment

Has the 944's time finally come? The model's popularity has led to a steady upward creep in prices in recent years, and this recent BAT result may just be the tip of the iceberg. Indeed, even Jerry Seinfeld is getting in on the action, having just acquired a black Turbo and this S2 Cabriolet. This 5k-mile 1986 Turbo just smashed Bring a Trailer's …

24 Variations on a Theme: Picking the Right 911 Derivative

11/20/20188:00 estFiled to: Porsche 991, VideosBy: Chris CushingComment

Ford currently produces eleven Mustang derivatives, and Chevrolet makes eight Corvette variants(both of these figures include the coupe and convertible variations of the same trim separately). That's a lot of choices from a nation known for customizing and individualization. Where variations on a theme are concerned, the Americans cannot be …

Doug DeMuro Lends His Two Cents on a Garishly Green GT2 RS

11/1/201810:41 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy ParryComment

Never short on enthusiasm, Doug DeMuro dives in headfirst with a list of salivating stats on Porsche's fastest force-fed track toy, as well as a bold byline: "This thing is faster and more powerful than the road version of a Le Mans race car from twenty years ago!" https://youtu.be/C3N61UZ6Z84 That divisive wing, the fender louvers, and even …

Is Buying a 996 Turbo a Wise Decision?

10/23/201810:24 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche TurboBy: Tommy ParryComment

The fact that Tyler Hoover picked up another 996 after a painful foray into the range speaks to the value of the car. He first grabbed a first-generation 996 with a 3.4-liter M96, which promptly grenaded. He then swapped in a Chevrolet V8—an LS2, to be specific—for $17,000. What was once the cheapest 996 with a manual transmission was turning into …

Porsche’s GT2 RS Is Faster, Better, And Easier To Drive Than The GT1

10/18/201812:59 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Bradley BrownellComment

Back in the 1990s, Porsche's limited edition homologation special GT1 Strassenversion was the king of the hypercar heap. With a 536 horsepower turbocharged flat six, the GT1 was about as crazy as cars got twenty years ago. With a mid-engine layout and a curb weight of just 2535 pounds, it was an analog outlaw, almost impossible to drive quickly, …

Watch This Well-Driven GT3 RS Pursue a GT2 RS at Zandvoort

9/26/20188:46 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3, UncategorizedBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

Amid the rolling Dutch dunes, the circuit of Zandvoort provides plenty of high-speed corners to test the hot-blooded sports cars of the 911 range. With technical sections, lots of camber, and heavy braking zones, it's a varied and challenging course that once hosted Formula 1 in the seventies and eighties. Fortunately, we're able to see how the …

Makellos-Built 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo Impresses In One Take

7/18/20189:42 estFiled to: Porsche TurboBy: Bradley BrownellComment

There is a case for driving your classic Porsches, and Makellos is certainly leading by example. This Porsche has been on a number of road trips and stacked on a few miles since they took ownership of it. Unlike a lot of classic cars, these old 911s can handle 6-figure odometer rollovers as long as they are properly maintained. And, if they're set …

How Much Does LS-Swapping a 911 Truly Cost?

6/8/20188:55 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry7 Comments

For people tired of the M96 or want their 996 to outrun a few more cars in a straight line, the LS swap is appealing. While the swap is considered to be a cost-effective alternative for the hot rodder or the blasphemer, the custom work required to have an American V8 running smoothly in the back on a 911 can cause the conversion costs to …

Makello’s Classics Builds Imperfect Perfection In This Rad 930

5/24/20188:29 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Bradley BrownellComment

After a long day of swapping keys, the group of us sat around a table full of chicken fajitas comparing notes. "It's remarkable how similar the driving experience is. Even with more than four times the power, that 930 drives a lot like my 912E," I said, perhaps letting the word 'similar' do too much work in that statement. Both cars are built on …
