Porsche is undeniably one of the most successful car manufacturers in history, excelling in sports car and prototype racing while creating some of the world’s most iconic vehicles. Enthusiasts everywhere have their favorite Porsche, and collections often feature a diverse range of the brand’s models. Although Porsche has rarely ventured into the supercar arena, their entries have been groundbreaking. The 1970s saw the dominance of the 911 Carrera RS, while the 1980s brought the revolutionary, turbocharged 959. In the early […]...
Story by Greg James. Photos by Dan O’Connell. I love reading road tests. Especially those that involve shootouts when cars are pitted against each other. However, in the traditional automotive rags that get their revenues from advertisers, it’s often comical how close any number of performance cars finish points-wise when they’re judged as a group. While the objective figures (0-60) can’t really be fudged, it’s the subjective ones that often bring the performance laggards up in the ratings when final […]...
The 2024 season will go down as one of the most successful in Porsche’s long-distance history: in just the second year with the Porsche 963, the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart won seven of eight possible titles together with the works team Porsche Penske Motorsport. The basis for this result was the consistent improvement of the team structure as well as the work on the reliability and performance of the around 515 kW (700 PS) hybrid prototype. The overall result […]...
First-hand experiences with Porsches often forge life-long bonds between the car and its owner. For some, this relationship may have started the first time they drove their Porsche through a canyon, and experienced a “one with the car” sensation never felt before. Others may endure a restoration project and realize the feeling of putting a classic Porsche back on the road is one of overwhelming satisfaction. Regardless of the origin, these stories of “man and machine” are threads of a […]...
A true collector’s piece from Porsche’s legendary Zuffenhausen factory, this 2005 Porsche Carrera GT is one of just 1,270 units produced and among only 644 delivered to the United States. Its 5.7L mid-mounted V-10 engine delivers 605 HP, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a twin-disc ceramic dry clutch. Chassis 001274, built in March 2005, has had only two private owners and shows minimal use, making it one of the most desirable examples of the Carrera GT. Originally finished […]...
The debate over converting a classic Porsche to electric power versus preserving it stock divides enthusiasts, AS IT SHOULD! Purists argue that keeping it stock maintains the car’s historical integrity, preserving the unique mechanical feel, engine sound, and character that define Porsche’s legacy and signature driving experience. For them, altering the drivetrain erases its identity and diminishes its collector value. Conversely, advocates for electrification emphasize sustainability, enhanced acceleration, and practicality in modern driving conditions. They see conversions as prolonging the […]...
After building 2,500 examples, Porsche has celebrated the end of the 911 Dakar model with the handover of a Sonderwunsch special at the Porsche plant in Zuffenhausen. Extensively customized and refined, this Sonderwunsch 911 Dakar was commissioned for an Italian collector of sports cars. Dakar Spec Porsche introduced the 911 Dakar, a sports car equally at home off-road as it is on country routes, in November 2022. The car’s standard ground clearance is approximately 50 millimeters higher than that of […]...
Aiming Higher Dr. Anna Lee Fisher started out as a medical professional – the training for which she regards as the toughest challenge she ever faced. As a reward, in 1977, she purchased a Porsche 911 Turbo – her pride and joy. Soon after, she would leave the medical profession to join the astronaut corps, and she said goodbye to her treasured Garnet Red sports car and focused on her dream of flying into space. Forty years to the day […]...

This 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, listed for sale on Bring a Trailer, is one of just 600 examples built and has only 144 original miles on the odometer. Part of the 997 generation, the GT3 RS 4.0 holds a revered spot in Porsche’s Rennsport lineage. Much like the legendary 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7, this model is destined to be remembered as a high-water mark in Porsche history. What makes this car particularly special is that it’s the […]...
New Second Gen With a sharper design, more power, more range, and even better charging performance, Porsche extensively modernized the Taycan at the beginning of 2024. Now three new versions complete the 16-version family: The new edition of the Taycan GTS builds on the model-spanning success story that is the Gran Turismo Sport at Porsche.

Launched in 1993, the Carrera RSR 3.8 was designed as a ready-to-race variant of the Carrera RS. Sharing the RS’s widebody shell, it featured an aluminum hood, lightweight doors, thinner side and rear glass, and an adjustable rear wing. Powering the RSR 3.8 was an air-cooled, naturally aspirated six-cylinder Type 64/04 engine, derived from the 964’s 3.6-liter motor. With higher compression, twin ignition, individual throttle bodies, and Bosch electronic fuel injection, the engine produced an official 325 horsepower, though actual […]...
To mark the 60th anniversary of the legendary 911, Porsche introduced a special edition model, the 911 S/T. Inspired by the original performance-driven 911 ST from 1969, this modern version blends features from the 911 GT3 RS with the styling of the 911 GT3 Touring Package, enhanced with specially crafted lightweight components. At its heart lies a 518-horsepower, naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six engine, sourced from the 992 GT3 RS. Paired with a manual transmission and a lightweight clutch, this setup […]...
Background & Tech In the late 1960s, as California’s new anti-smog legislation became operative, it was apparent that highly tuned cars like the Porsche 911 would be affected. Breathing through carburettors and running on premium fuel, the 911 was soon in difficulty with traffic authorities. The S was even withdrawn for a year in 1969 so that Porsche could reduce its emissions, replacing the Weber carburettors with mechanical injection but as the law became tighter this proved only a temporary […]...

Debut season a success With a fifth-place finish at the WEC season finale in Bahrain, Manthey EMA secured a one-two victory in the 2024 LMGT3 championship for Manthey.

If you’re like me, there’s something about the air-cooled 911 that holds your attention and keeps you coming back for more. Sort of like your mom’s comfort food when you were young, or the way that favorite pair of faded jeans feel. It’s called nostalgia, and we’re all susceptible to it. Over the past 35 years, I’ve owned a dozen Porsche 911’s. All air-cooled. It started with a Bitter Chocolate 1976 911S in the mid 1980’s. After that, it was […]...
The Porsche Turbo story began 50 years ago, in 1974, when Porsche introduced the first 911 Turbo (internally known as the Type 930) at the Paris Auto Show. This car combined luxury and race-bred engineering to create a groundbreaking model that would forever change sports car performance standards. Fast forward to October 26, 2024, where a 50th-anniversary celebration of the Porsche 911 Turbo was hosted by 000 Magazine at Summit Skywalker Ranch in picturesque Marin County California. This was the […]...

Porsche has taken a significant step into the electric era with the all-new Macan EV. It’s a logical step, considering the Macan has been a top seller for Porsche, outperforming the combined sales of the 911, Boxster, and Cayman models last year, despite being on the market for over a decade. The electric Macan comes in three trims. The base model, a rear-wheel-drive with a single motor, delivers 360 horsepower. Above it, there’s the Macan 4 and Macan 4S, with […]...
The new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is the first race car based on the current 911 model series 992. Like everything at Porsche Motorsport, the seventh race car generation is equally as committed to sporting success – it’s a tradition after all. Since 1990, Porsche has built and sold more than 4,250 copies of the world-renowned cup car. With a wide, aggressive stance, this race car is designed for pure performance. Notable upgrades from the previous 991.2 model include an […]...
The 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster represents the final—and by many accounts, the finest—version of the highly regarded 991 generation, limited to just 1,948 units as a tribute to the year Porsche began production. Unlike Porsche’s minimalist roots, this Speedster is packed with exclusive features, including a lightweight, manually operated fabric roof and its signature double-bubble roof covers. Carbon fiber body panels, interior trim, and carbon ceramic brakes are just a few of the many elements incorporated to keep the weight […]...
Porsche’s works drivers Kévin Estre, André Lotterer and Laurens Vanthoor have secured the drivers’ world championship crown at the final round of this season’s FIA World Endurance Championship. At the eight-hour race in Bahrain, the trio crossed the finish line eleventh in their hybrid prototype – enough to claim the title. The No. 5 sister car wrapped up the season with another podium finish in third place. Porsche takes runner-up honors in the manufacturers’ championship. This season, the sports car […]...
Over twenty years after its launch, the first-generation Porsche Cayenne has had new life breathed into it as part of a project in the United Arab Emirates during the Icons of Porsche festival. The Porsche Cayenne is a milestone car for the Middle East. When it launched in 2002, it opened the door to a new customer base, introducing a capable and luxurious off-road sports car to the region’s vast deserts and valleys for the first time. Ever since, it […]...
The 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T was introduced as a model positioned between the entry-level Carrera and the more powerful Carrera S. Unlike the original, budget-focused 1960s 911 T, the Carrera T targeted purists craving an unfiltered driving experience, incorporating high-performance elements from across the Porsche lineup. Retaining the Carrera’s 3.0-liter, 365-hp turbocharged engine and chassis, it borrowed key upgrades, including the Porsche Active Suspension Management system from the GTS, a shorter 3.59:1 final drive from the Carrera S, and a […]...
A recent video from Outlaw Garage on YouTube dives into an exceptionally rare gem: the ultra-limited RUF BTR2. This particular BTR2 is one of just 18 ever produced and is even more unique as one of only five right-hand-drive models. Originally delivered in striking Riviera Blue to a buyer in Singapore, the car later moved to New Zealand since Australian customs at that time didn’t have a specific category for RUF vehicles. In 1993, with no factory turbocharged 911 available, […]...
Porsche is extending the model range of the new 911 with the addition of the light, dynamic 911 Carrera T.

Equipped like that, the car is more than 40 kg lighter than the current 911 […]...
Unveiled at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show, the limited-edition Porsche 911 Dakar pays homage to the iconic 1984 Porsche 953 Carrera 4×4, which competed in the Paris-Dakar Rally.
