The Porsche 911 is an icon, a legend, and a benchmark in the automotive world. With a lineage spanning decades, the 911 has evolved into a diverse family of sports cars. But with over 25 trims available, finding the “purest” driving experience can be challenging. Porsche claims that the title belongs to the 992 Carrera T. The Carrera T slots in at the starting point of the 911 range, but it has a specific mission: to deliver a raw and […]...
Founded in 2009 by Rob Dickinson, the former frontman of the band Catherine Wheel, Singer Vehicle Design has built a reputation for transforming Porsche 964-series 911s into bespoke works of art. Based in Los Angeles, the company specializes in blending modern performance with timeless aesthetics, as seen in their “Step On It Commission,” currently offered for sale on Bring A Trailer with only 68 miles on the odometer. The project began with a 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2, stripped to […]...
Dubbed the world’s first “retro hypercar,” the 9×9 by Kalmar Automotive is set to redefine the limits of bespoke automotive craftsmanship while paying tribute to the legendary Porsche 959. This car starts as a Porsche 993. However, little of the original remains after Calmar’s meticulous transformation. The chassis evolves into a space frame, reinforced with a hidden roll cage. Carbon fiber dominates the bodywork, shaving weight while retaining structural integrity. The powertrain comes courtesy of a modified 992 Turbo. A […]...
In the late 1980s, two sports cars reigned supreme: the BMW E30 M3 and the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Club Sport. Built as a homologation special, the M3 debuted in 1986. It was designed to dominate touring car championships around the globe. The E30 M3 quickly became a symbol of BMW’s engineering prowess, earning its place as one of the most iconic and aesthetically pleasing BMWs ever made. It is powered by a 2.3-liter S14 four-cylinder engine producing 215 horsepower, […]...

Porsche designed the 908/03 with two specific races in mind: the Targa Florio and the Nürburgring 1000 KM. Both circuits, known for their tight and twisty layouts, demanded a car that was light, agile, and quick. To meet these challenges, Porsche took inspiration from the earlier 908/2 Spyder, which had been pivotal to the 1969 championship. However, the 908/03 was a completely new creation, retaining only the three-liter flat-eight engine from its predecessor. The body and chassis of the 908/2 […]...
The 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is widely considered one of the finest air-cooled Porsches ever produced. It is an engineering marvel and one of the greatest all-around sports cars in automotive history. Its place in high-end collections is well-earned, and it’s no surprise why. On January 18, a rare example of this automotive legend will be auctioned at the Mecum Auctions Kissimmee event, with a projected value of up to $1,300,000. This particular Carrera RS 2.7 is one […]...
Words by Greg James. Photos by Dan O’Connell. The Overuse of “Supercar” A term that’s been flogged to death and overused for eons in the auto industry is “supercar.” Yes, I get that there’s no real definition (at least one that everyone agrees on), but it’s been used to describe some pretty mundane — in my opinion — not very “super” cars. A few of my nominations: The 1980 BMW M1 (underpowered), the Cadillac CT5 (it’s a Cadillac, nuf said), […]...
Background While Porsche has long since been revered as a European sports car company, “Supercar” has not been part of their vocabulary. That changed with the Porsche 959, introduced in 1986, which many consider the first German supercar. Designed as a technological marvel, it featured advanced all-wheel drive, a 2.85L twin-turbocharged flat-six engine producing 450 horsepower, and a top speed of 197 mph. Originally developed for Group B rally racing, the 959 became a road-legal pioneer in automotive innovation. This […]...

The popularity of a road car often skyrockets when it’s adapted for racing, as seen with the Porsche 944. While the 944 enjoyed success during its nine-year production, it doesn’t hold the same reverence as the 911s of its era. However, in its transformed state as the 944 GTR, it earned a distinct place in motorsport history. Dressed in the iconic red and yellow Electrodyne livery, this IMSA series competitor of the late 1980s showcased bold engineering by Fabcar Engineering. […]...
In the world of street-legal Porsches, it’s tough to beat the ever-popular yet reliable 911 GT3 RS. Even with money to burn, try finding one that’s for sale.

One of 150 This high-optioned GT3 RS features the exclusive Weissach and Tribute to Carrera RS packages, one owner with […]...
The Porsche 917/10, introduced in 1972, was purpose-built for the Can-Am series in North America.

FIA regulation changes after the 1972 season ended the Porsche 917’s dominance in World Sportscar Championship racing, prompting Porsche to focus on the 2.4L 911S as the foundation for their racing efforts. It evolved into the Carrera 2.7 RS, where “RS” stood for Renn Sport, meaning motorsport. Engineers reduced weight using thinner steel, fiberglass bumpers, lightweight glass, and simplified interiors with racing seats and straps replacing door handles. The 911S’s air-cooled flat-6 engine was enlarged and fuel-injected, producing 210 HP […]...

Background From its inception in 1948, Porsche has continued to signify excellence in all aspects of the design and engineering of its automobiles.

Hundreds of needle-sharp, tungsten-tipped studs bite through the ice, hunting out grip where your brain screams there should be none, headlights piercing the Arctic’s never-quite daylight; a flat-six’s mechanical howl sings through the snow-laden pines as you thread the needle round the sinuous turns of a forest stage. This is an experience that only KALMAR’s Spirit of Speed can offer. Fun is the priority It’s not just about honing your skills on ice – regardless of prior experience – but […]...
The Porsche 911 GT2 RS debuted with the 997 generation in 2010, earning widespread acclaim. The 991-generation GT2 RS followed in 2018, boasting an additional 80 horsepower and 37 lb-ft of torque compared to its predecessor.

The 991 GT2 RS features a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine delivering an impressive 700 horsepower […]...

Original Recipe Among the air-cooled cognoscenti, the original 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 rightly resides in “das Beste vom Besten” 911 pantheon. Designed to meet homologation requirements for Group 4 racing, it blended lightweight construction, aerodynamic enhancements, and a potent 2.7-liter flat-six engine. The legendary Carrera RS was the creation of Porsche icons Ernst Fuhrmann and Norbert Singer–as they set about to create a ‘hot rod’ neunelfter by stripping out as much weight as possible (including removal of soundproofing) and significantly […]...
To mark the 60th anniversary of the legendary 911, Porsche introduced a unique edition model, the 911 S/T.

At its heart is a naturally aspirated […]...
