I just don’t get it. Somehow we live in a world where non car-enthusiasts keep buying SUVs with no off-road capability, and car enthusiasts keep spending ridiculous sums on Porsche 911s. All this when really, they should all be buying this five-speed 1990 Plymouth Voyager Turbo for much, much less. What am I not…
Air-cooled Porsche 911s: I’m so over them. Sure, they look nice and sound even nicer, but their revoltingly high resale prices and ensuing hoard of bothersome purist fanboys have all but soured the cars for me. At least this one guy found a use for his air-cooled 911 that didn’t involve driving it and then talking…
Why, hello, you there, do you happen to have a 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS? Of course you don’t! But if you did, this guy would trade you a big chunk of his waterfront property in Florida for it. Maybe next time.
If you’ve long been a fan of the wider rear ends of the all-wheel drive and GTS Porsche 911s, you’re in luck when the all-new 992 generation drops next year. According to a report from Car and Driver, Porsche’s going to keep things simple on the next 911 by making them all widebody.
At Rennsport Reunion, an event full of every conceivable mind-blowing Porsche that you can think of, one car upstaged them all. It wasn’t an ex-Le Mans car, a shop build funded by an unlimited pocketbook, or even a Paris-Dakar racer. It was this rowdy, dirty, lifted 1974 911 Targa with the fenders sawzalled off that…
I’m in sunny, beautiful, not-at-all plastic Los Angeles to visit one Andrew Collins, our beloved reviews editor who is sunny and beautiful and currently on leave with a smashed-up hand (hand review forthcoming). To guide us around, we’ve snagged ourselves a 2019 Porsche 911 GTS, and it is already absurd. Absurdly good.
There’s something so comforting in life when the day isn’t going your way and you slump down in a bathroom stall, defeated, only to be uplifted by layers upon layers of motivational quotes—instead of insults or rumors from a decade ago—written on its walls. This 1982 Porsche 911 SC is the car equivalent of that.
The cars: they are meant to be driven. Not stuffed away in a garage to “collect value,” not treated like priceless objects never to be touched. Driven! That includes sideways through a gravel pit, especially if the car is a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Why the hell not?
The upcoming 2019 Porsche 911 992 generation won’t look vastly different from the outgoing 991.2. I know this because I’ve seen the mules already. So have you. They’ve been running around Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Nürburgring and now, apparently, Salt Lake City, Utah. What’s weird is that Porsche is still taping them…
Look, I love old car manuals. Hell, I just spent $6 for a manual for a 1978 Volvo 343, a car I’ve never even seen in person. But when I look at Bring a Trailer and see that a 1974 Porsche Carrera RSR manual sold for $6,000, I can’t help but feel that nothing makes sense anymore and if we’re not careful, all of the…
An unhappy fact about my life is that, more than likely, I’ll never own a Porsche 911 GT3. The silver lining, however, is that I’ll never have to helplessly watch my 911 burn down on the Nürburgring.
Hello, yes, Porsche customer service? Yeah, the fog is back again. It keeps following me, I swear. What do you mean this is a common issue?
Porsche launched an experimental short-term rental service allowing pretty much anyone over the age of 27 and properly licensed to take a 911 for a week, or even a few hours. It’ll cost you, though.
Thanks to the insane popularity and profitability of the Porsche Cayenne and Macan, Porsche has granted us an insane selection of the 911 to suit every single driver’s demands. But! With 24 different models in the U.S., it’s hard to sort out which coupe, Cabriolet, Targa, S or Turbo is the right 911 for you. But now…
Turns out all those European car magazines and our staff psychic were wrong: the new 992 Porsche 911 will not use a transverse, two-stroke diesel V4 front-wheel drive layout after all. Instead, it’s a 911, it looks like a 911, it sounds like a 911, and it goes nuts on the Nürburgring the way a proper 911 should.
One of the most coveted Porsche 911 variants is also one of the most distinctive-looking: the 930S, most commonly known as the “slantnose,” because the nose of the car is, well, compared to a normal 911, slanted. The distinctive feature of the old Slantnose was the replacement of the iconic 911 big round headlamps…
Hey, remember earlier this week when we saw the mid-engine 2020 Corvette hustling around the Nürburgring in all that camouflage, and everyone was wondering if it would end up looking too much like a Ferrari or a McLaren? Evidently the Germans can’t even be bothered to disguise the all-new 2019 Porsche 911 at all,…
Because I simply have not had enough seat time in various Porsches this summer, I’ve got the 2018 911 Carrera T. It’s the lighter-weight, not as hardcore, very slightly easier on the bank account version of the 991.2, and I’ve tasked myself with seeing how this package really comes together.
There was no shortage of awesome and incredible things at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, but, as always, anything that has been touched by Singer Vehicle Design is in a class of its own. Singer and racing firm Williams brought a special treat in the form of the Dynamic and Lightweighting Study, another…
Do you remember the Porsche 911 R? The first one on sale in the U.S. was listed for nearly $700,000 in late 2016. It didn’t take long for secondhand 911 Rs to start demanding over $1 million. But now, just a couple of years later, the 911 R is estimated to go for the dirt-cheap cost of just $375,000 at auction.
