911 GT3 or Cayman GT4 RS, that is the Porsche question

11/21/202210:36 estFiled to: Porsche CaymanBy: Bradley Brownell

Given your choice of chassis with the same engine, would you choose a rear-engine car or a mid-engine one? The reality is that most of the people who can afford one can buy both, but for us regular folks all we can do is dream and bench race our favorite. This is the first time that Porsche has seen fit to equip the mid-engine car with a proper …

Ten years later, what’s RWB up to?

9/27/20225:22 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Bradley Brownell

Akira Nakai, the chainsmoking widebody Porsche builder from Japan, has been slapping his own brand of insanity on Porsches for a long time now. In fact he bought his first 911 Turbo—with significant body damage—back in the late 1990s to build it into the car that would kick off a widebody aircooled revolution. That car was a matte black monster …

How Does A Vintage Porsche’s Performance Compare To A New Compact Crossover?

5/11/20213:29 estFiled to: Porsche Factoids, VideosBy: Bradley Brownell

A lot can change in 33 years. Porsche's 911 Carrera 3.2 was the top dog back then. It had just gotten a fresh G50 gearbox with hydraulic clutch actuation and smoother shifts, but not much had changed, mostly because it wasn't broke and Porsche didn't have to fix it. The car was brilliant to drive in its day, and frankly still is. Today, however, …

Porsche Taps Science Guy To Explain The Taycan Electric Sports Sedan

4/23/202110:00 estFiled to: Electric Porsche, Porsche TaycanBy: Bradley Brownell

The charismatic bow tie enthusiast, Bill Nye (science guy), has been inspiring younger generations since, well, since my generation was a younger generation. His interesting delivery style and an uncanny ability to make the science seem both palatable and interesting at the same time is the key to his success. If you need something high tech and …

Why Was The 964 Flachbau X85 Option So Expensive?

5/6/202011:13 estFiled to: Porsche 964, Porsche TurboBy: Bradley Brownell

Back in 1994, the wildest car you could special order from Porsche had to be the Flachbau 964 Turbo S. A standard 964 3.6-liter Turbo in 1994 would cost you a massive $99,000, but if you wanted the slant nose and funky headlights, it was an additional $60,000 price tag! When adjusted for inflation, that same X85 option in 94 would cost you $104,000 …

How Do Porsche’s Sim Racers Differ From Its Real World Racers?

1/16/202012:52 estFiled to: Porsche MotorsportsBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche has invested heavily in esports racing, and has developed a crew of high-level sim racers. These virtual drivers are often as talented at piloting a virtual car as Porsche's factory team is at piloting the real thing in meatspace. They both have training regimens, strict diets, and the rigors of endurance racing. Obviously the simulator …

Is The New 992 Even Closer To Porsche Perfect?

11/19/20198:57 estFiled to: 992By: Bradley Brownell

Whenever there is a new generation of 911, we like to compile opinions from as many different sources as possible before making a full judgement. To that end, we were excited to see Yuri and Jakub of The Straight Pipes throw their opinion into the ring. Every generation of 911 has gotten better [Yes, even the 996] and it's difficult to believe that …

This 991.2 GT3 RS Converts A Porsche Fan For Life

10/31/20192:33 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy Parry

Though Marcus Vandenberg's Roads Untraveled tends to focus on Japanese performance cars, he occasionally highlights the odd domestic or European car. He's admitted to having a soft spot for 911s in the past, but they're not exactly within his wheelhouse. He's sampled quite a few turbocharged 911s, and a 991.1 GT3 RS, but this is arguably the …

The Panamera Turbo S e-Hybrid Contains A Wonderful Dichotomy

2/12/20199:33 estFiled to: Porsche PanameraBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche's big wagon has nearly 700 horsepower, it'll go nearly 200 miles per hour, and it weighs more than 5000 pounds. Somehow it is big and comfortable but also incredibly sporty. Somehow it manages to dawdle around in silent electric-only mode, then seconds later crank up a huge turbocharged V8 when you swap to Sport mode. It can move five …

Here Are Some Of The Loudest Porsche Race Cars Of All Time

1/23/20199:00 estFiled to: VideosBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche's glorious flat six engine is known for its sonorous high-RPM note, and when the engine is unmuffled, it only sounds better, but is also much louder. Often times, at big racing events, the Porsche competitors are driving the loudest cars on track. There are some Porsche engines that are even louder than that, however, as the 928's V8 can …
