Jay Leno Drives A Unique Schuppan 962CR For The First Time
"It's a 962 that you can put a license plate on," says owner Matthew Ivanhoe of his Schuppan, which was ostensibly created as a homologation special for a Le Mans effort that never transpired. We saw this car at Luftgekühlt 5 earlier this year, and the car certainly gathered a crowd. The car, at that time and as I recall it, had an odometer reading …

Have you ever been tempted by some of the excellent replica Porsches out there? The iconic 1958 Speedster; 550 Spyder; 718 RSK; and even a replica 356 Cabriolet. In a lot of ways, they really make sense - much less expensive, parts are easy to source, upgrades like disc brakes and even air-conditioning! Construction quality can vary, but Beck has …
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 …

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 …

Porsche has been building cars longer than most people reading this have been alive. For seven decades they've been tearing up their own script and occasionally re-writing it wholesale. People complained when 356 production ended in favor of the heavier and more expensive 911. People complained when the 964 debuted because it had coil springs of …

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 …

Since I bought a Porsche Cayman over 2 years ago, I have learned the hard way that there is some etiquette to owning a Porsche. I was surprised to find that there are a number of embarrassing faux pas and potentially costly mistakes that other Porsche enthusiasts will frown upon. I have committed my fair share of these Porsche "sins" over the …
Continue to the full articlePorsche Cayman Naturally Aspirated (the last of its kind)
I had never driven a Porsche Cayman before. Only a Boxster – a 987 Boxster S that we owned a few years back. So, when given the opportunity last month to drive one, I jumped at the chance. Boy, was it fun! It handled so well on the curves, and I could really feel the mid-enginey-ness in its handling. Still, I was a little sad when I drove this …
