I think itâs safe to say most of us, even those of us uncomfortably car-obsessed, donât spend a lot of time thinking about intake manifolds. I feel like we tend to treat them as just those tubes that hold up the fun stuff, like carburetors and turbochargers and that sort of thing. Really, though, thereâs a ton ofâŚ
Iâve determined my stance on crossovers. Itâs a kind of a tired resignation more than anything else. If they must exist in order to bolster the enthusiast offerings, then so be it. At least make them good and fun to drive. That being said, I have extremely high expectations for the 2019 Porsche Macan because it is aâŚ
Top Gear host Chris Harris and a Top Gear magazine executive were uninjured after the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring they were in crashed into the side of a pickup truck that was reportedly attempting a three-point turn in the road.
The Porsche 911 GT3 is over $60,000 cheaper than the McLaren 570S Track Pack and down almost 70 horsepower, so why did the Porsche just manage to beat the McLaren in EVOâs latest track test?
The Porsche 935 name is a legendary one in the racing scene, having dominated endurance races around the world in the 1970s. But recently, after many years, Porsche showed off a new model that makes 690 horsepower, costs over $800,000, and looks just as stunning as the original. Hereâs a close look at the car on theâŚ
We all spin fantasies about ourselves. Weâre better looking than we are, smarter than we are, more morally pure than we really are. I thought I knew who I was. I would stand for the vanguard of the cheap, fun car. The secondhand Mazda Miatas of the world, the Craigslist gems. Porsche 911s? They could get stuffed, farâŚ
The next-generation 992 Porsche 911 is coming, and to keep people excited, Porsche is showing off pictures of some of the torture testing now underway before the carâs European launch early next year. Hereâs a look at what Germanyâs most legendary sports car has to go through before hitting dealerships.
I know that Halloween is over, but I came across this press release from Porsche during a hunt for news this afternoon and I just needed to share because it is simply too over-the-top for me not to. In short, Porsche took a travel blogger vampire hunting.
Once upon a time, Porsche was adamant as hell that it didnât care about NĂźrburgring lap times, saying that a car that scores an awesome time on the Nordschleife will probably be âa dog on the street and everywhere else.â That was in early 2017. Evidently Porsche does care, having later scored a road car record withâŚ
Our man Robb Holland got to drive the new Panamera GTS. If you want a 911 but actually need to move adult humans and cargo, this car is it. Robb had some issues with the brakes, but we figured out why.
Iâve just spent the weekend attending the Porsche 912 Registryâs West Coast Rendezvous event. Nearly 100 of the âlesserâ Porsche attended the event, including John Bentonâs MEIN12. This car absolutely rips, and I had a hard time keeping up with him on some of the quick twisty back roads. A properly set-up 912 is aâŚ
Last spring, Porsche started teasing the world with short video clips of the build process of this âbrand new 993" which incorporated some pretty unique processes. The German luxury sports brand debuted the finished product at Pebble Beach in August, and I saw it at Laguna Seca during Rennsport Reunion VI. Now theâŚ
People always joke that Porsche has just been making the same car, the Porsche 911, with marginal improvements for decades, but that just isnât true. It actually makes a seemingly infinite number of variants of the 911, and itâs gotten so confusing the company produced a video to educate us.
People pay absurd prices for Porsche restomods, but too often, those pricey, perfect cars languish away in sad collections, only coming out to park at Cars and Coffee. You donât want that. You want a Porsche âreimaginedâ by a self-proclaimed redneck instead, complete with a mid-engine LS3 swap from a CadillacâŚ
Every once in a while, Porsche makes the right combination of revisions, throws together the perfect selection of parts, and comes up with something brilliant. The Porsche 911 GT3 Touring is exactly that.
We know the upcoming Porsche Taycan electric sedan is seeking to beat the Tesla Model S at its own game, and itâs now been spotted benchmark testing against a Model S P85D in the mountains of Italy on the iconic Stelvio Pass.
The Porsche 919 Evo is still on its tribute tour through America, with the latest installment in the video series showing it drive up the Pacific Coast Highway. Whatâs more interesting, though, is that it took a van full of computers, a giant antenna and a team of over 25 people just to get the car rolling.
âWAHHHHHUNNNNNGunununununWHAAAAAAUNNNNNGGG!â screamed the new 2020 Porsche 992 911 GT3, flinging itself around corners at the NĂźrburgring, tires wailing in protest.
We are very much used to 0-60 mph (100 km/h) as a metric for gauging how quick a car is, just like we have top speed for its sense of outright power bragging rights. But I just bumped into a different metric: 20-40 mph in fourth gear, a test of a carâs sort of general performance is everyday driving.
