THE 718 BOXSTER (OR CAYMAN), IT’S NEWER- BUT IS IT BETTER?
|
|
|
I had been itching to try the latest Boxster with all the controversy surrounding this car. I will be the first to admit I’m leery of change. I often don’t want to accept the latest fad or lingo. I adored our ‘06 987 Boxster - the feeling with the top down, the handling and that great soundtrack. I love
classics, and although the older Boxsters are …

JAY LENO TAKES PORSCHE’S 80S ICON 959 FOR A SPIN
|
|
|
The 959 was really Porsche's rolling laboratory for automotive technological advancement. The truly astonishing thing about the 959 is that it was truly the first daily-driver supercar. Sadly, most of these cars have not been blessed with driving mileage, as they've been shoved in collections and garages for years. This car has 49,000 brag-worthy …

WATCH AS THIS 997 GT3 R SCREAMS UP A PORTUGUESE
HILLCLIMB
|
|
|
With his usual Ford Escort steeds in the shop for repairs, Portuguese hillclimber José Silvinho Pires had to resort to something else for his latest trip to the Rampa da Falperra hillclimb. His replacement, a 997 GT3-R, offered him more than enough performance to temporarily forget his old Fords. With a striking
livery reminiscent of the old John …

TIMO BERNHARD CELEBRATES 20 YEARS WITH PORSCHE
|
|
|
As of 2019, Timo Bernhard is the longest-serving Porsche works driver. While his highest profile victory came in 2017, with his upset Le Mans victory, Bernhard has been putting rubber to the road for two full decades as of this month. Of the current drivers, he's also the only one to have won championships at
every level of the "Porsche Pyramid." …

WHAT IS THE NEW 911 SPEEDSTER LIKE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD?
|
|
|
A few years ago, we discussed the idea of a GT3 Cabriolet (below). Some of us thought it was a great idea, and others not so much. It took almost five years, but Porsche finally built something that is basically the 991 GT3 Cabriolet that we asked for, but better. Consider the 991.2 Speedster a send off for the
chassis. This is among the last cars …

INCONSPICUOUS DRAGSTER: THE NEW CARRERA 4S CAN RUN WITH SUPERCARS
|
|
|
It's often said that Porsche horsepower is a little more potent than other marques' horsepower. Perhaps having the motor so close to the driven wheels minimizes drivetrain losses, or maybe there's simply a bit of magic at work between the broad haunches of a Porsche. In any event, it's not unusual to see a
fairly standard 911 hanging with cars …
