Please support our sponsors: What Makes Porsche's New 3.0 Liter Turbocharged Carrera Engines Special? By now you all know that normally aspirated engines for most 911s are a thing of the past. As much as we were worried that turbocharging most 911 engines would take something away from the driving
experience, Porsche proved us wrong by designing an engine that is superior to the outgoing one in almost every way. But how? What makes this new 3.0 liter turbo engine so special? What's the technology behind the nearly linear and instantly available torque? We answer those questions, in-depth, and explore more of the tech and design of Porsche's new engine in this post.

935 People collect Porsches of all shapes and sizes. However, some of our favorites are those with motorsport provenance. For those that like history, very few Porsches will equal this 935 coming up
for auction at Gooding next month. Owned and raced by Paul Newman, this 935 not only once wore a very famous livery, it's won three of the toughest endurance races in motorsport. We think it's going to sell for huge
dollars, here's why.

sponsors: Our Favorite Porsches on eBay: Volume 58 We've been compiling the best Porsche models on eBay for almost two years now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing
cars pop up now and again. In all that time, we've published these every other week. Well, enough of you have spoken up that we're going to try a weekly format, with two of us picking selections, so check back often. This week, we're looking at some higher mileage examples that still look to be fantastic examples of the marque. These include a time capsule '86 Carrera Cabriolet, a buy it just for the color Riviera Blue 993, a Mocha Brown 911 SC, a 914 that "looks good from 10 feet" and a Boxster
that could turn out to be the bargain of the summer. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good. OTHER POSTS YOU MAY ENJOY Please support our sponsors: Porsche Cars Canada Sales Results: June

While The Last Turn's Leonard Turner might not
go that far, he will say that the original Panamera didn’t make it to his most beautiful Porsches list. Perhaps the worst angle for that car was the three-quarter rear, with the camera looking from one of the rear fenders toward the opposite side front. Here's a story of how a very
expensive "shed" helped to compliment that terrible angle.

formed subsidiary, Porsche Digital GmbH (which Thilo heads up) made their first investment in the Cologne-based Evopark. Evopark's technology is interesting in how it functions and how its RFID technology and parking space mapping software could be integrated into future autonomous driving functions should Porsche choose to go that route. Learn more about the investment and what it means for current and future Porsche owners in this post.

Please support our sponsors: Porsche Stories From Around The Web Despite our best efforts, it's not always possible for us to cover everything that's happening in the world of Porsche at any given time. It's almost as if the items worthy of note increase at some exponential rate as compared to the number of new Porsche
owners and fans. With that in mind here's a round-up of other Porsche related stories you might find of interest. If you read a story somewhere, or know of one you think might be of interest to our readers, please be sure to let us know by sending a tip to storyideas@flatsixes.com. |
