The auctions are over and the results are in. More than 130 Porsches of all shapes and sizes crossed the blocks of the various auction houses this past weekend. A new world record was set for the most expensive price ever paid for a Porsche, yet there were still "deals" to be had and a number of surprising
"no sales", too.

WATCH PORSCHE PUT THE 2018 CAYENNE THROUGH A GLOBAL TORTURE TEST |
|
|
Love it or hate it, Porsche has sold more than 760,000 Cayennes since its introduction in 2002. Now, with the world premier of the new Cayenne just a little more than a week away (August 29th, 2017) Porsche is giving us a glimpse into the torture tests they're putting their 3rd generation test mules
through.

MATT FARAH TAKES A 911 RAT ROD FOR A SPIN |
|
|
Perhaps the appeal of a rat rod is the promise of a capable car underneath a tarnished hide. It's fair to assume that, with many rat rods, function follows form—they're artistic expressions first and foremost. Rarely are they made to be quite as incisive as this '70 Carrera, which, without any urethane in the
suspension, guarantees a direct relation between the driver and this baby blue 911.

PATRICK LONG SHIMMIES THROUGH LAGUNA IN A '68 911 T/R |
|
|
When you hand the keys of a narrow-tired 911 T/R to a seasoned veteran like Patrick Long, you can expect fireworks. Clearly, Long is focused on wringing the classic Porsche's neck and not terribly concerned with its value, but when you've driven the variety of machinery he has, at the level he has, you can't expect him
to participate in a processional parade lap.

IS THE PANAMERA A PROPER PORSCHE? |
|
|
Aesthetically the Panamera must answer to the 911's design, as it should, as the 911 is the brand's flagship product. Do we really need to draw the comparison between the Panamera and the 911 all the time? Is there a better analogue to the Panamera in automotive
history?

IS PORSCHE'S SPORTS EXHAUST OPTION WORTH THE
MONEY? |
|
|
When you buy a new Porsche it's pretty easy to quickly add-on additional expenses in options, lots of them. Should you get the bigger wheels? Do you need leather wrapped air conditioning vents? What about deviated stitching on your seats? Seriously, the options can seem literally limitless. However, there are certain
performance and visual options that most people seriously consider. One of those is the Porsche Sports Exhaust option or PSE for short. Do you really need it and is it worth it?

MAGNUS WALKER'S RENDEZVOUS IN A '72 RS |
|
|
To some, Magnus Walker may appear to lead a charmed life. Not only has he worked hard to build a life-style many look to emulate, he gets to wear his hair in a way that has no place in most offices. Best of all—he gets to take a classic 2.7 RS through Paris in an attempt to recreate some of the magic of the
seminal C'etait un Rendezvous, and do it with today's 360 degree video technology.
