THE HISTORY AND OPERATION OF PORSCHE REAR WHEEL STEERING |
|
|
|
|
While four-wheel steering wasn't uncommon twenty-five years ago in the heyday of tech-heavy sports cars, we seem to have left some of those gizmos behind with the implied understanding that they were superfluous. Yet, with lengthening wheelbases in the current Porsche lineup and more and more weight, it's become a
useful tool to make the latest fleet of Porsches rotate accurately, easily, and predictably.

THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES STORY OF THE RESTORATION OF 356SL '063' |
LUFTGEKÜHLT 5 WAS A SPECTACLE OF COLOR |
|
|
|
|
Viewing the footage of this year's Luftgekühlt, I was truly struck by how colorful a Porsche event of this scale is. Racing car liveries are often ostentatious by design, but Porsche's road cars came in some pretty brave colors. Set against the monochromatic lumber yard, this was even more stark. Vivid yellows, purples
and blues by the dozen gleamed in the California sun, unless of course they were faded and lovably caked in dirt.

IS PORSCHE TESTING A GT2-BASED RACE CAR? |
|
|
|
|
Video has recently surfaced of what appears to be a GT2 RS test mule, but in pure racing form. From the slicks and rear window inserts to the over-the-top rear wing, it screams race car.

INTRODUCING THE 959sc FROM CANEPA. NOW WITH 800 HORSEPOWER |
|
|
|
|
Bruce Canepa and his business are inextricably linked with the story of the 959 here in the US. They were involved in the show and display legislation allowing significant cars like the 959 to be brought into the US on a limited basis. They were involved in gaining 50-state federalized street legality for 959
buyers with the Canepa Gen I, back in 2001. Canepa has three decades of direct, hands-on experience with 959s and building this incredible Porsche to be better-than-factory new. This new 959sc (stylized lowercase as Canepa himself writes it) is the culmination of that experience.

PORSCHE BRINGS THE CHRONOLOGY OF RS MODELS TO THE ISLE OF MAN FOR HIGH SPEED HIJINKS |
|
|
|
|
Among motorsport enthusiasts, the Isle of Man is know for both its incredibly competitive (and dangerous) annual motorcycle race as well as its lack of speed limits. Porsche took advantage of both of these attributes in choosing the Isle of Man (what they call a 'motorsport Mecca') as their location to shoot this
latest short video/commercial with the GT3 RS and 7 generations of its predecessors.
