Every year I get really excited when early Auction season rolls around. There's always some interesting stuff coming across the auction block, and the Scottsdale, Arizona sales kick off the year with a great start. In years past, we've seen 904s, 906s, RS61 Spyders, a handful of 959s, dozens of speedsters, a few 2.7 RS, and rare race cars. This …

15. Brumos Racing Came Back, And Then Went Away Again Since Brumos Racing discontinued their GT program in 2013, we've been deprived of the iconic Red/White/Blue livery that we Porsche fans have grown to know and love. That is, until this year at the Daytona 24 hour and the Sebring 12 hour, when Brumos joined forces with Dempsey Racing and …

Now that nearly the whole 911 line is "turbo charged", how does Porsche make their top dogs stand out? By giving them more bite, that's how. The base Turbo now offers 540 hp and the Turbo S makes a whopping 580 hp (up from 520 and 560 respective).

Bruce Canepa doesn't do things in half measures. If he's going at it, he's going whole hog. That's true in his restoration business, and that's true in his fanatical style of vintage racing. He was on an absolute flyer in this session, and I'm so glad that it was all on video. This is masterfully produced, by the way, as the commentary is even …

Porsche lore is filled with phenomenal personalities. James Dean, Steve McQueen, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen…. OK, so I have a fixation on Steve McQueen.
