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 …

The Opulent Porsche 2018 Monaco Auction Preview
Monaco is known for high-dollar big-rollers and is synonymous with pricey cars both historic and brand new. Perhaps, then, that is why there are a series of automotive auctions happening in concert with the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique event. Our old friends in the form of RM Sotheby's and Bonhams are showing up to the event with a scad of …

Have you ever been tempted to buy a Porsche 996 Turbo? No IMS issue with that incredible Mezger engine and, if you find one with the X-50 Power Pack option, you get the same power as the current 911 GTS! These Porsches are the deal of the decade, but exactly what does it cost to purchase and maintain one of these powerful 996 Turbos? Back in …

We've been compiling some amazing Porsche models on eBay for nearly three years now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again. This week we're taking a look at several iterations of Porsche's 964-generation 911. If you missed out on all of the 964s that crossed the block this weekend at RM Sotheby's Amelia Island sale, …

This year for their Amelia Island sale, RM Sotheby's is preparing the "Exclusively Porsche" collection to blow the world away yet again. While it's not as mind-blowing and far-reaching as the Seinfeld collection was from a few years ago, it's a broader approach to collectibility. Technically, this collection of cars only includes eleven of the …

Have you ever ridden a roller coaster at an amusement park that was just so much fun you had to immediately get back in line to try it again as soon as possible? When I was younger, I'd do that all the time. In the below video, Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire, takes Marco's turbocharged "Carrera Turbo" (a narrow-body 911 with a non-intercooled 911 …

Skylar Robinson, son of famous American racer Chip Robinson, puts on a show in a raucous Porsche 962 making a peculiar series of noises. The 2.8-liter, twin-turbo six in the middle of his IMSA GTP racer squeaks and roars, and when the full 750 horsepower arrives in one big lump, it fires the car down Laguna Seca's straighter sections at a …

This sort of publicity stunt is a near guaranteed crowd pleaser. Since Audi sent a 100 up a ski jump in 1986, it's been repeated several times, including by Audi themselves. While classic Audis worked wonderfully on snow, the original Quattro systems were decidedly old school. The driver-controlled locking diffs at the center and rear made for a …

In a battle between homegrown, tuner-crazy ingenuity and strict precision mandated by strict category rules, we get a dazzling view into how two very differently-built 911s handle on a high-speed circuit. Under most circumstances, a Porsche 997 RSR, would never seem commonplace. However, the way the silver 993 Turbo in this video performs, at …

Porsche's magazine-of-record Christophorus has been slowly trickling out their featured articles for a few years now, and this is perhaps the greatest one we've seen in all that time. This odd-looking mid-70s 911 Turbo is a unique piece of RennSport heritage that we'd not heard of prior. It was commissioned for long-time Porsche driver, company …
