In the days before big downforce in Porsche Supercup racing, these lightweight 964 Cups forced a driver to slide, dice, cut chunks off the circuit, and hop curbs to find whatever advantage they could. If ever you feel the urge to show your tech-addled friends why the racing of yesteryear was better, 

Fans of forced induction or Porsche Motorsports History, rejoice. Up for sale at Gooding & Company's Amelia Island auction this March are three of the most influential turbocharged racing cars to ever grace the Porsche stable. Estimates are all in the seven figure-range, and each of these important Porsches carry with them a special air, an unmistakable power—these cars shaped the way Porsche went racing for nearly thirty years.

This 1973 Porsche 914-6 was the owner's car when he was in high school, originally a four-cylinder. He sold it and bought it back later, in pieces, with no engine, but with the full 914-6 bodywork. It now features a 2.5L twin-plug engine, and though not original, it is a factory-built flat-six.

In today's market, depending on condition and provenance, an original '73 911 Carrera RS is valued anywhere from $650,000 to well over $1,000,000. That's why it's so hard for me to believe that someone would park one in a public garage on a regular basis.  However, that's exactly what this owner did.

This sort of publicity stunt is a near guaranteed crowd pleaser. Since Audi sent a 100 up a ski jump in 1986, it's been repeated several times. This particular journey began at Holme in Lincolnshire, the lowest point in the UK, and ends at the Glenshee Ski Center, one of the highest points in the UK at 2,640 feet above sea level. Though somewhat smaller than Vermont's Sugarbush, where Porsche previously hosted FLATSIXES.com at their Winter Driving Experience,

How much of the GT3 experience can be enjoyed for short money? The list of upgrades to this Polar Silver 996 isn't very long, and yet it seems to provide "75% percent of GT3-feel" for less than 10% of the original price. 

The undisputed rallymeister, Walter Röhrl, still keeps incredibly active in the world of motorsports as he enters his seventh decade. Part of his duties these days include leading eager students at Porsche's driving schools and transferring his decades of experience into digestible tidbits the aspiring driver can appreciate.
