Celebrate 45 years of the glorious Porsche V8

2/14/20229:37 estFiled to: Porsche 918 Spyder, Porsche 928, Porsche Cars, Porsche Cayenne, Porsche PanameraBy: Bradley Brownell

45 years ago Porsche wowed the world with the introduction of the groundbreaking 928 grand tourer during the 1977 Geneva Motor Show. Equal parts refined and rowdy, the 928 was a delightful machine from the word go, and it was a massive step in a different direction for the brand. Originally developed to take over for the aging but iconic figurehead …

Porsche nearly built a 959 replacement with a watercooled V8

11/30/202111:32 estFiled to: Porsche Cars, Porsche MuseumBy: Bradley Brownell

There are always points in history where if things had happened slightly differently, the future might have turned out seriously differently. These are the moments where the multiverse splits and there is another theoretical existence where modern 911s could be powered by dual overhead cam watercooled V8 engines. There was a point in the 1980s …

Scalpel Vs. Sledgehammer: 911 RSR Battles Big Block Corvette at Road Atlanta

11/9/202011:13 estFiled to: Porsche 911 2.7, Vintage RacingBy: Tommy Parry

https://youtu.be/r7gtZaBv6mU If you put a former ALMS driver behind the wheel of a classic RSR on slicks, you should expect some cornering speed. Catesby Jones, a former ALMS driver with plenty of Porsche experience, accesses all the cornering speed you'd expect from a classic RSR to try and battle something with three times the grunt. There are …

Porsche 911 Carrera S Takes On C8 Corvette and Audi R8 at Hockenheim

10/23/20207:21 estFiled to: 992By: Tommy Parry

The standout differences between the Corvette and the Carrera, likely the two most economically matched in this lineup, aren't all that standout—they take a little bit of closer inspection. The awkward body language Sport Auto test driver Christian Gebhardt shows in the Chevy, particularly under braking, which suggests there's something less than …

Porsche’s Heavyweight Panamera Turbo S Is The Perfect GT

10/19/20207:51 estFiled to: Porsche PanameraBy: Tommy Parry

Inside the latest Panamera Turbo S' cabin, one can't help but feel at ease. Rich chocolate leather abounds, there are more screens than a Pimp My Ride creation, the carpet is perfectly thick, and the cockpit has just the right amount of buttons and knobs to look detailed without looking fighter-planeish. Honestly, it looks like the most comfortable …

This LS3-Swapped 944 has the Right Formula

8/29/20204:09 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Tommy Parry

In another enthusiastic review from Roads Untraveled, we learn why pairing an American V8 with a German FR sports coupe is a wonderful idea. It blends what's wonderful about a Corvette with the great visibility, short overhangs, modest proportions, and exquisite interior of the 944. Surprisingly, these very different front-engine sports cars …

Is Buying a 996 Turbo a Wise Decision?

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

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 …

How Much Does LS-Swapping a 911 Truly Cost?

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

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 …
