Climbing a Ski Slope in a 911 Turbo S

2/19/20184:28 estFiled to: Porsche TurboBy: Chris CushingComment

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 …

Mountain Ascents: Porsche Style

12/30/20164:23 estFiled to: Porsche Design GroupBy: Chris CushingComment

While a Porsche can indeed climb a ski slope, leaving your car at the top in order to ski down is less than ideal. Thankfully Porsche has a solution. Among their wide portfolio of projects, Porsche Design Studio is responsible for ski lifts and an Olympian's sled. One of their more recent winter creations is a Gondola with extremely large windows …

Winter Tires For Your Porsche: They’re Not Just For Snow and Ice Anymore

12/23/201611:06 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Chris Cushing2 Comments

Parting with summer tires is a challenge every year. I try to put off swapping from my summer rubber 'til the last possible moment. As a Northeasterner snow tires are de rigueur from late October through at least the end of March. On the surface the switch from quiet, grippy, summer rubber to winter tires often doesn't seem worth it until the snow …

An Ode to the First Real Day of Summer

6/26/201311:44 estFiled to: LifeStyle, Porsche 944By: Bradley BrownellComment

That I have spent the previous 6 months absolutely envious of those in warmer climes is both immediately obvious, and completely inconsequential.  As I write this, there isn't a place in the world I would rather be.  The first day of real summer in the Midwest is a glorious affair, and I would venture that nobody in Malibu could ever experience …

Porsche carrera rs driving in the snow

The answer to this question most likely depends on both where you live and what you drive. You might be the type that no matter what, you're driving your Porsche year round. Or, maybe you live in a colder climate with lots of snow and salt and need to prepare your Porsche for winter storage. Maybe you're lucky and do both, we do (we store our …

Winter Tires for Your Classic Porsche

1/13/20101:09 estFiled to: Tires and WheelsBy: Pepper Girl2 Comments

Back in November of last year, Porsche announced they had extended their approval process for winter tires to include tires for both "young and old classics". As per the press release, "Offering customers this unusual service, the German manufacturer of sports cars enables drivers of older models to use the best available products on their car. …

Tips for Preparing and Driving your Porsche in the Winter

12/18/20084:49 estFiled to: Advice, Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Pepper Girl19 Comments

When most people think about winterizing their Porsche, it’s usually with the intent to store the car for some period of time and avoid driving it through cold and winter like weather. What about those of you who drive your cars through the winter? No, I’m not talking about all you lucky Porsche owners that live in temperate climates where the …
