The Porsche 718, in both Cayman and convertible Boxster variants, is a genuinely good and fast car, but some say they just don’t have the classic character of the old 6-cylinder models. Porsche is hoping to change that perspective with the new 718 GTS.
Computers will get better and take over our reality at some point, but until then, they’re good enough to virtually recreate every line, shape and texture of the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 in fully rendered 3D. It’s a relief knowing our virtual reality futures will still be populated by excellent cars.
Last month, Porsche flew me to Düsseldorf for the Porsche Cayenne Technology Workshop, where engineers in classrooms taught me detailed technical minutiae about what’s good on the new 2019 Porsche Cayenne. The whole thing was extremely German, and that’s a very good thing. Here’s what I learned.
Is there anything nicer than a sweet older gentleman who still has his Porsche 914-6 after 45 years? Well, if that man is Pikes Peak legend, filmmaker and Porsche nut Jeff Zwart, you can bet there’s some burnouts and donuts involved—and we’re not talking about a run out to Krispy Kreme, either.
Unlimited Porsches—the dream, right? Well, it’s somebody’s dream, at least. If that somebody is you, great! You drive any car Porsche will give you, not any car you want, for either $2,000 or $3,000 a month. A lot of money for a specified amount of freedom, yeah!
Porsche has developed an electric Cayman. The bad news is that they don’t plan on selling it. The good news is that it previews the impressive technology that will be introduced with the upcoming electric Porsche Mission E sports sedan.
This past weekend saw heavy rains in the North Shore region of Massachusetts, resulting in major flooding on roads that trapped cars.
Porsche announced its departure from the top class of the World Endurance Championship back in July, but it is still nailing down the details of what comes next. It’s a massive game of musical chairs with around 300 staff members and six drivers who are sad to see the 919 program end, but very anxious to know what…
Oh, that’s precious. Y’all thought you could steal the “fastest road car on the Nürburgring” title from Porsche? Porsche, who lives just a short drive away? That’s cute!!! Porsche took back the record for the fastest street-legal sports car on the ‘Ring with a 6:47.3 lap time around the Nordschleife course.
Funny how when a major automaker like Porsche plans to swap its flagship World Endurance Championship Le Mans prototype effort for a Formula E run, Porsche’s top factory drivers keep popping up on the entry list for Formula E. This time, it’s André Lotterer, the ex-Audi LMP1 standout who seems to have gotten the hint…
I like to think I write reasonable, just-hefty-enough grocery lists. I’m not one of those people who runs in to buy two items, and bulk prices are cheaper, but I also know how much my car can hold. So, my grocery list tends to be on the long side. This new Porsche Panamera’s name is longer.
I’ll go first: I don’t really like the Porsche 911.
The Porsche 911 flat-six is an iconic engine. This rear-mounted engine is the heart of probably the most talked about and praised sports car of all time. Let’s watch it get dissected!
Our friends at Motor1 compared the “entry-level” McLaren 540C with the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Both cars fit into that nebulous area where we aren’t sure if they are sports cars or supercars. Even the hosts noted that nobody will ever really know.
Best Motoring is Japanese eye-candy for the soul, taking all manner of cars whether they belong on a race track or not and dueling it out there anyway. This track battle from 2007 includes everything from a Honda CR-V to a Mitsubishi Pajero and a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and it’s hilarious perfection.
Porsche, an automaker whose head of GT cars once said that Nürburgring lap times aren’t a priority, is apparently out to punch the Nürburgring lap time sheet in the face. The new 2018 GT2 RS was just spotted at the ‘Ring making a sub-seven minute run of the Nordschleife course where the battle over lap records goes…
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s small overlap crash test is no joke. Vehicles that pass often include provisions specifically for the test, and those provisions add weight. How much? Well, according to Porsche’s SUV Body in White Team Leader Rudiger Jahn, 110 pounds in the case of the new Cayenne.
Take the religious following of air-cooled Porsche 911s, then reduce that to the community of folks who are evangelists for the four-cylinder 912, and you’ve got a group of seriously passionate people. Like most passionate people that I’ve met, they want to bring you into the fold and show you why whatever it is they…
At least eleven people are so far injured after a Porsche Boxster Spyder attempting a burnout ran into a crowd of people attending a Cars and Coffee event in Boise this morning, according to news reports. Though this one doesn’t involve the usual suspect, it’s another example of how a great car event can go south when…
Few vehicles out there are as immensely satisfying than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. It angers snooty purists who hate that it exists, it’s fast and it can tow most other Porsches. The new 2019 Cayenne Turbo is quicker than ever, with a claimed 550 horsepower and 567 lb-ft of torque, complete with active aerodynamics…
