This year marks the 50th birthday of the most iconic sports car of them all, the Porsche 911. Now you can go the Jeremy Clarkson way and start bitching about how the whole idea of putting the engine in the rear was stupid, or start an argument about how it is only a tuned up Volkswagen, but no matter what you think,…

The tall pedal goes and the wide pedal stops. It seems like a simple enough concept, but as this unbelievable video footage showing a Porsche 911 Turbo illustrates, it's still tough for some people to fully grasp.

The classic Gulf powder blue with marigold orange trim is one of the most iconic racing liveries in history. Both colors have appeared on a variety of cars that aren't purpose built for the race track since it first appeared on the famous Mirage Ford GT40s in 1967, but the most recent instance we've come across is on…

Here's the GT car you'll probably see a million times during 2012, but only if you're a fan of sports car racing. It's the new Porsche 911 GT3 RSR — the Toyota Camry of racecars (quantity-wise) — in American Le Mans Series trim.

The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Car is probably the most popular race car in the world. It races in nearly every series, it's über capable, and it's a Porsche.

This image purports to be the much-rumored swan song Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, which according to the leaked spec sheet uses the 500-hp 4.0-liter RSR engine to help create the ultimate 997 model.

After all of the speculation, one of the boys at Teamspeed decided to try rendering the rumored 911-ending special edition GT3. They're calling it the Porsche 911 GT3 "Hybrid." We're calling it a really good educated guess.

I wasn't kidding when I said earlier that with the just-released Porsche 911 Carrera GTS and 911 Speedster, there are now 20 trim variants of the 911. Is the 997 the Mustang of 911s? [Porsche]

With the 997-generation Porsche 911 winding down, a celebratory finale is necessary. Rumor has it an ultimate, limited-edition Porsche 911 GT3 RS is planned. Only 500 copies, 500-hp and somewhere near the 500th 997 variant.

Few things make your hair stand on end like the shout-howl of a 997 RSR getting its groove on. Jerez, artful editing, and Calexico's "Pepita" — real life is rarely this LOOK AT ME, but if it works, who cares?

The locust-like invasion of track-ready Porsches continues as the German automaker reveals its updated 2009 997-based Porsche 911 GT3 RSR racer with new slipperier body and more of that angry flat-six oomph.

The refreshed 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS got caught with its pants completely down and we've got the photos to prove it.

For 2009, the entire Porsche 911 Carrera lineup has been given a refresh, and now we've got the details and first shots of the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S models. Thanks to direct-injection, the 3.6-liter flat-six in the Carrera 4 now makes 345 HP, and the 3.8-liter unit in the Carrera 4S makes a…

Listen up you Porker lovers, time to get down to brass tacks. Steve N wrote in with this weekend's Question:

From the can't get nearly enough of the Porsche GT2 department comes these shots from the Frankfurt floor. Yes, we have posted the spy photos and brochure. And yes, we've even unearthed a video of the widowmaker. Alas, we have yet to find a good frankfurter mit mustard here in Frankfurt. Specifications and press…

Considering the 997 911 Turbo Cabriolet hasn't had a proper intro until this week at the Frankfurt show. The twin turbocharged 3.6 liter six-cylinder has Porsche's Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) that reduces turbo lag while providing requisite pull at higher revs. The powerplant already generates 480 hp and 457 lb-ft…

With a top speed we're told should exceed 200 mph and a horsepower rating expected to approach 550, the 997-based Porsche 911 GT2's the highly anticipated successor to the 996-based GT2. With the new hotness from the Brucetastic automaker founded by an Austrian expected to drop later this year, it's to be expected…

It's that magic time of year, when trophy wives the world over begin licking their chops and reminding their wealthy husbands how much sexier they would look in a Porsche. Yes friends, the new GT2 is nigh, and it is still nuts. In case you don't know the drill, the GT2 is a Porsche Turbo juiced up on angel dust. The…
