|
|
|
|

DP MOTORSPORT ADDS THROWBACK STYLE TO SPEEDSTER RARITY |
|
|
|
|
Porsche built just over 2000 Speedsters in 1989, making them very rare and desirable, expensive and hard to find today. This particular version is a well done clone, making what happened to it next much more palatable for most purists to deal with. You see, the owner felt the first iteration of his Speedster
look-a-like was just too modern so he turned to DP Motorsport for a visual backdate.

UNLOVED OUTLAW: PORSCHE'S LESSER KNOWN
CARRERA GT |
|
|
|
|
It's hard to say whether the 914 or the 924 is the most maligned Porsche model. Both were burdened with underpowered engines, and both were jointly developed with the giant conglomerate that is VW-Audi. The 914 of course coming from the VW side, and the 924 from the Audi side.

PAT LONG AND MARSHALL PRUETT DISCUSS THE BROAD APPEAL OF LUFTGEKÜHLT |
|
|
|
|
A little over two weeks ago, a diverse crowd of Porsche enthusiasts gathered at a Torrance, California lumberyard to gawp and gaze at a collection of machinery, talk shop, and celebrate the history of air-cooled Porsches. The venue choice was necessitated by the growing turnout to this 5-year young
event.

964 vs. 993: BATTLE OF THE AIR-COOLED RS CLONES |
|
|
|
|
Two near-clones of consecutive generation Porsches, specifically modified for different people and different uses. Both share a stellar air-cooled soundtrack, and both have the perfect proportions to make any gearhead salivate.

THE 5 MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE LMP1-SPEC 919 AND THE UNRESTRICTED 919 EVO |
|
|
|
|
As the 919 Hybrid Evo proved at Spa last month, an unrestricted closed cockpit car with fenders can be significantly faster than a Forumula 1 car, even in qualifying trim. When there are no rules to break, or even to think about, Porsche can build an incredibly fast machine.

THIS PORSCHE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN VANDALIZED. BUT IS IT REAL? |
|
|
|
|
We were recently tagged in a video on Instagram that appears to show a woman spray painting the word "loser" onto a street parked 911 GT3 RS. We've heard of things like this happening in the past, but most have turned out to be urban myths. There are a number of factors in this video that have us questioning its
authenticity.

PORSCHE'S NEW CUSTOMER RACE CAR, THE GT3 R, HAS 550 HP, BETTER EVERYTHING AND AIR CONDITIONING |
|
|
|
|
Though Porsche's factory team has transitioned to the mid-engined 911 RSR, customers will continue to race an altogether more traditional 911. The new GT3 R shares not only its 4.0 liter water-cooled flat-six with the road going GT3 RS, it also retains the rear-engine layout common to all road going 911s except for the
GT1.

SHARKWERKS BUILDS THE 964 RS AMERICA PORSCHE SHOULD HAVE |
|
|
|
|
"We don't build race cars" Ales Ross quietly muses to me before taking another bite of his fruit and nut bar. We'd just come up the face of a mountain via a demanding and technical 20-mile ribbon of pockmarked and rutted pavement, which has served to make that point blatantly obvious to me. This Guards Red 964 handled
the drive in a way that felt distinctly uncharacteristic for an air-cooled Porsche.
