You can drive something unique and not have to put a mint into it. That's what Kevin Lynch says of his awesome Bahama Yellow 1968 Porsche 912 he affectionately calls "The Bahammer". The stock 90-ish horsepower 1.6-liter flat four has been pumped up quite a bit by Benton Performance in Anaheim, and now features a set of twin-plug cylinder heads, …

Ride Onboard Todd Treffert’s 911 RSR At Sebring
The Sebring circuit down in Florida is a favorite of mine. Not just because it hosts the famed 12 hour sports car endurance race every spring, but because it's an incredibly unique venue. In today's buttoned-up and professional sports car racing world, it's nice to see an old-world military base airstrip track still in use. It's bumpy and there's …

Is there any higher form of cheap entertainment than an empty parking lot the morning after it snows? In my formative years we always preferred our local baseball park's lots after a snowfall. It was guaranteed to be empty in the dead of winter, and was seldom cleared quickly. I wouldn't be shocked to find that scars dug by my Golf's studded …

The 991 Carrera T is, in a way, the anti-Porsche, or perhaps recalls the Porsche that Porsche used to be. As the company's sports car line continually focuses on quicker lap times at the expense of driver engagement, and the company's non-sports cars become ever more the focus of the sales floor, the Carrera T is anti-thematic for the brand in a …

If you could have the car you drove to high school prom back, would you want it? Would it be as cool as Marco's 914-6? I drove a rusty 1991 Ford Mustang convertible to my prom, so he's definitely got me beat. This white mid-engine beauty is an impressive beast of a Porsche, now running a 2.5-liter twin-plug flat-six engine pumping out about 220 …

It's a question that's befuddled many car lovers over the last half-century. Why, knowing what we now know about vehicle dynamics, does Porsche insist on keeping the 911's motor in the rear? Over the years, the recalcitrant behavior this layout was known to cause has been replaced with impeccable manners. Chalk it up to improved body control, …

Chances are, if you're reading this site, you're pretty knowledgeable of the history of Porsche, how they became the company they are today, and can recite most of their greatest hits from memory. For some people who have never had the proclivity for the brand, for whatever reason, The Petersen Museum's Porsche Effect exhibit could be incredibly …

Not many people know this fact, but Porsche actually built a series of flamethrowers in the 1970s and 80s that were strangely shaped like 911 race cars. With each lift off the throttle pedal, a 935 will pop flames from the exhaust outlet. It's not what made the car successful in racing, but it sure didn't hurt. In fact, it's part of what makes the …

Porsche's video magazine is named for the 9 minutes and 11 seconds they dedicate to different aspects of the brand's contemporary and historic tales. This particular episode is cut up into five segments, each as interesting as the prior. Here's a bit of what you'll get to see when you click play. 1. Porsche brand ambassador Patrick Dempsey heads …

On The Smoking Tire podcast, Matt Farah has repeatedly referred to his new 911 as "Grape Soda Lip Gloss." That may be a little harsh, as we think his Cassis Red Carrera 3.2 looks pretty stellar, if not a bit purple. If sites like Bring a Trailer are any indication, late production G-series cars are on the rise. It sounds like Mr. Farah got a pretty …
