Wrestling a 660 HP 964 on six-year-old tires
Porsche 935 JLP
This 911 GT2 Evo is so fast that Randy Pobst and owner/driver Levitas once challenged each other to see who could enter Turn 1 at Daytona the fastest.  Amazingly, they both tied at 207 MPH each.  

 
 
NOW YOU CAN TOUR THE PORSCHE MUSEUM FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME
​​​​​​​
MUSEUM VIRTUAL TOUR
Unfortunately for many of us, the Porsche Museum is simply not well located for a day trip. For most, extensive planning is required just to get there. Dipping out for the afternoon to see some magnificent and historically significant Porsches is just not practical.

 
 
BOOK REVIEW: PORSCHE 70 YEARS BY RANDY LEFFINGWELL
​​​​​​​
GPS Anti Theft for Classic Porsche
Randy Leffingwell is a writer we respect greatly (he was actually one of our first interviews many years ago). Randy's primary source material tends to bounce between Mustangs, Corvettes, and Porsches, all of which we adore. We have at least a dozen of his tomes littering our office, and this new one is a welcome addition.

Contrary to what the layman might think, there's so much more to going around the track quickly than gusto, bravery, and a double-dosage of manhood. Patrick spends the first 30-seconds of this video giving very clear and actionable advice that we would all be smart to listen to. 



 
 
MOTOR TREND PITS THE 911 GTS AGAINST BMW'S M4 CS

GTS vs M4
300 KmPH on the German Autobahn in a pair of Germany's best sports coupes isn't a bad way to spend the day, even when it is raining. Following that up with a day at the Nürburgring is perhaps the best weekend we could ever imagine.​​​​​​​

IS AN ALL ELECTRIC MACAN IN PORSCHE'S FUTURE?
​​​​​​​

Porsche is in the process of investing 3-billion Euros in their electric future, so it would only make sense that they are interested in getting in on the electric CUV market by building a Macan-shaped Mission E. Based on what we know about Porsche, we're confident that "Mission E" is more than just a single model, it's a way of thinking, a corporate ethos.

While nowhere near as fast as his 964, Jeff Zwart shows us how his 356 is just as much fun. As many of you know, Jeff isn't shy about flogging his 1953 Porsche 356. In fact, we've seen the car sliding through the snow with Jeff at the wheel before.  

 
 
NEW 718 BOXSTER SPYDER SPIED IN STUTTGART
​​​​​​​
Porsche Cayenne Diesel
The 987 Spyder was a very focused and lovely lightweight machine with very few compromises. The 981 Spyder we drove back in 2015 was sublime, certainly ranked among the best Porsche road-going sports cars ever made.
