RLR Porsche 962-200 (1988-1989) Richard Lloyd and his team were first to go in their own direction with a Porsche, with the hugely successful bespoke, and unique to the team, Nigel Stroud designed honeycomb chassis.

Porsche 962-010 Works
Porsche 962-010 Works It did two races and won neither but, with the exception of 956/001, it’s still probably the most important car in our story. Unlike its two Shell Dunlop sisters, 010 was not a repainted ’87 Rothmans car but a brand-new chassis (number 962/140) built specifically to win...
Porsche 962-008 Works
Porsche 962-008 Works An interesting car, even by works Group C Porsche standards. Not only was it the last 962 to be built to race in Rothmans colours, it was also one of relatively few 962s to race with a PDK, double-clutch transmission. The double-clutch gearbox is a common item...

The 2022 Porsche Targa 4 GTS adds more grunt, packs less weight, has sharper handling, and packages it up in the sexiest bodystyle that Porsche sells. The Targa 4 GTS gives us the best of all worlds, providing all-wheel-drive traction, an open-top experience, and a fixed-roof feeling in the same car. Its automatic transmission and adaptive suspension completed the image of a daily-driver sports car. This may be the perfect car.
A Drive In the Emory Outlaw Roadster This 1960 Porsche 356 Roadster is a rather unique example of the Emory Outlaw essence. It features a 205-hp, 2,650 cc FAT 914 engine, 911 rear suspension, 911 5-speed transmission, aluminum hood, tonneau cover & headrest fairing and a Speedster windshield. There are many...
Porsche 908/02 “Flunder” Pictures The 908/02 K Spyder and 908 K Flunder Spyder were basically the same cars with slightly different bodyworks. If you look at the non-Flunder Spyder, you see that the body drops after the front wheel arch and rises again before the rear wheel arch. In the...
Porsche has also decided to gift the GTS a more distinct and dynamic personality that can’t be duplicated via the Carrera S’s options list (even if you could get the engine, which you cannot). The downside is that the price has gone up too and ticking a few more options boxes can get the Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet into 911 Turbo territory price-wise. In the engine department, the 3-litre twin turbo flat six develop 473 bhp and 420 ft lbs.

The engine is the same 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged flat-six petrol engine as in the 911 Carrera S, but it has been fettled to produce 473 bhp. The GTS also has a bespoke suspension set-up that sits 10mm lower than the standard 911, and that's true no matter whether you choose two- or four-wheel drive. Most of the time, there's absolutely no difference between the standard GTS and the all-wheel-drive version. But when you need it, the AWD Carrera 4 GTS will save you.
Porsche 718 History Video The 718 was a development of the successful Porsche 550A with improvements being made to the body work and suspension. The car is a RennSport build with a wheelbase shorter (German ‘Kurz’) than typical of predecessors of the era and this led to the car being...
The Porsche 718 from the driver’s seat From the folks at Petrolicious: “We’ve been blown away by the positive response to our film featuring the 1960 Targio Florio-winning Porsche 718 RS 60 being driven tastefully by Derek Bell. But’s time to come clean, however: we’ve been holding a little bit...
The 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet arrives with 473 horsepower and 420 ft lbs of torque. Porsche's ultimate Carrera cabriolet model is brilliant, and flexible. Sure, you can go faster in a 992 911 Turbo, but we guarantee it won't be as much fun or as engaging as the GTS Cabriolet. This is just a great car, an all-round sports car that combines effortless performance with open top fun. It gets a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine producing 473 horsepower.
