Please support our sponsors: This is How a Safari 911 is Meant to be Driven In the video above we get to watch as LuftAuto's new owner, Eli Kogan, takes his new toy out for a day of hard driving on small town, rural roads somewhere in Colorado. I especially enjoyed watching how this
well built 911 seamlessly transitions from everyday paved roads to drift inducing gravel and hardpack. I know I wouldn't do this in our 993, but it makes me want a Safari style 911 that much more. Watch the video here. OTHER POSTS YOU MAY ENJOY
Please support our
sponsors: The Peerless Porsche 2016 Monterey Auction Preview There's no doubt the Porsche market has slowed a bit when it comes to auction pricing. However, it still remains to be seen if that slow down is a result of cooler heads, and pricing, taking over. Or, have
prices been weaker because the offerings haven't been the best they could be? We'll know soon enough as there are enough top quality collector cars for sale in Monterey that should bring strong, if not record pricing, assuming the money and desire is in the room. Here's a look at each Porsche at auction this year on the Peninsula.

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've assembled five more Porsches for you to peruse, including two interesting clones from different generations, a 996 Turbo Cab in a color other than silver, an impossibly low mileage 914 and a Boxster Spyder that could be a bargain. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

will to win, experience, judgment, course reading and memory, and the magic sauce of something in their genetic code. Elford has an important, although nonessential additional quality: he looks like a racing driver. Chiseled features, strong jaw, burning eyes, and a serious demeanor: a wonderful photographic subject. The picture and story in this episode of The Last Turn is a great example. OTHER POSTS YOU MAY

What Does The 919's Hybrid Technology Mean For Future Road Cars? The current breed of hybrid LMP1 cars are the most technically advanced racecars built to date. The Porsche 919
incorporates a wide variety of technologies to improve both power and efficiency. The 919's small displacement V4 engine and high-discharge batteries are among the most sophisticated of their type, and give the 919 a whopping 900 horsepower combined. Endurance racing is Porsche's test of durability and the viability of new technology for production. What then do these endurance racers mean to the future of Porsche road cars? We answer that question in this post. OTHER POSTS YOU MAY ENJOY
Tuthill Porsche's Full Length Safari
Documentary Is A Must Watch. For years we've been teased with short clips from Tuthill's time at the East African Safari Classic Rally, but now
they've finally unveiled the full video. We won't belabor the point that it took them over three years to actually release the film, because it is beautifully shot, wonderfully edited, and contains some of our favorite Porsches being driven to the limit (and sometimes beyond). And more to the point, the real stars of the video are legendary rally aces Bjorn Waldegaard and Stig Blomqvist. Watch it here.

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
