Porsche and Pikes Peak have both left indelible marks on the soul of the one and only Jeff Zwart. Jeff first ran up to the summit of the mountain when Porsches were still aircooled and the road was still primarily dirt. He's seen and experienced the transition of both motorsport megaliths, he raced 996s when Porsche transitioned to watercooled, and …

Patrick Long Teases Upcoming Luftgekühlt Germany
This morning the Luftgekühlt Media YouTube channel dropped a new video with some awesome footage recapping the most recent LuftGB event. It was a wet and interesting day at Bicester Heritage with the one and only tall-wing 550 Spyder, 904-045 (which we featured in a Paris auction preview back in 2013), and a bright red Porsche tractor, among many …
Continue to the full article10 Porsche Cayman Myths Debunked
One of the more intriguing myths about the Cayman is that during its development, Porsche engineers realized that the Cayman was actually going to be faster than the 911. As the story goes, upon hearing this, the top brass in Stuttgart ordered their engineers to make the car slower so that it wouldn’t dilute the 911 brand. This myth fascinated …

"You're in fifth gear; flat-out in fifth, for one whole minute. It's quite a long time. And you had time to reflect, and you just look around and you'd look around the car, and you'd almost want to pat it and say 'Come on, we can win this.' It was the most uncanny feeling because you were at one with the machine, which you never felt it—to me—at …

Porsche Classic is building a new project based on a 993-generation 911 Turbo S. It's called Project Gold. It's going to combine some modern aerodynamics with a classic body shape. And that's just about all we know at the moment, because Porsche has only released the video below called "The Vision", and a short blurb. As this project progresses, …

The steady march of progress often comes with some compromises. In Porsche's case, the naturally aspirated 981-generation GT4 has given way to faster and more capable turbocharged 718-generation mid-engine monsters. With a flatter torque curve and an earlier power delivery, the 718 Cayman GTS puts up a faster lap-time at nearly any track than the …

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 …

I respect a deeply focused tool. The Land Rover Defender remained very true to its original intent right through the end of production. Wranglers only began attempting to be comfortable relatively recently. If the sort of sport you prefer frequently takes you miles off the beaten path, having the correct vehicle is key. But with that comes …
Continue to the full articleSkateboarding + Drifting GT3 = Absurd but Fun Video
It seems that sometime in the late 1990s people that made skate videos split into two camps. One camp went down the rabbit hole of CKY and Jackass, while the rest wanted to show the world that what their parents dismissed as boorish and juvenile could be beautiful. We will probably reap the benefits of beleaguered skaters for decades, as the look …
Continue to the full articleThe Appeal of the Flat Engine
Along with that telltale silhouette of the heavy-haunched 911, the other item synonymous with the Porsche brand is the flat engine. The first example of this configuration was constructed by Carl Benz in 1896; built with the same basic layout as the current crop of Porsche's flat engines. Thanks to that odd configuration of cylinders, with …
