THE MERCEDES-BENZ 500E WAS PORSCHE’S FIRST SUPER SEDAN
|
|
|
Decades before Porsche built the first Panamera, it was assembling a different kind of sedan for Mercedes-Benz. Back in the early 1990s Porsche was running low on cash and it was happy to secure a contract to assemble a very fast muscle-sedan for cross-town rival Mercedes. The car was made possible by stuffing Merc's 5-liter from the SL
into its …

THE BOXSTER SPYDER IS THE ROOFLESS GT4 YOU REALLY WANT
|
|
|
If you want the best Boxster money can buy, you get the new Spyder. With gorgeous and aggressive bodywork from Porsche's GT division to match its newly found suspension tweaks and a new 4-liter engine, the new Boxster Spyder is a good bit more hardcore than the previous iteration. Whereas the old Boxster Spyder featured a more road-going
compliant …

DON’T TELL ANYONE HOW GREAT THE 986 BOXSTER IS
|
|
|
The 986 Boxster is a gem, but don't tell anyone how great it is. For those of us who know, this is one of the greatest Porsches to drive, own, and enjoy. It's truly a sports car you can drive everyday [I can confirm, I daily drove a 986 for several years!]. Right now the 986 is one of the best values in sports car ownership on the market
today. …

PORSCHE CARS NORTH AMERICA ACHIEVES RECORD SALES IN 2019 THANKS TO MASSIVE CAYENNE SALES INCREASE
|
|
|
PCNA had a very strange sales year in 2019, capping off a year of growth with an impressive new sales record for the company. This is somewhat surprising, considering American sales of Porsche models dipped across the board, with the exception of the newly revamped Cayenne which dominated sales over the last 12 months. The previously

|
|
|
There has been a big battle heating up between the Porsche fanatics and the Tesla fanatics lately, largely fueled by the Taycan, but how do other Tesla/Porsche matchups fare? The folks over at TFL Car decided to do a little tug of war between the Model X and the Cayenne Turbo on icy surfaces. The main goal here was just to have fun, but
maybe do …

THE PORSCHE TAYCAN IS QUICKER THAN A TESLA MODEL S AND SCIENCE PROVES IT!
|
|
|
Based purely on the numbers, Tesla claims that the Model S Performance will sprint from 0-60 in 2.4 seconds, while Porsche claims a 2.6 second 0-60 for the Taycan Turbo S. But Top Gear recently put the two cars up head to head, and found the Taycan was quicker in real-world testing by just a few fractions of a second. Since then people
have been …

BUY SOME GREAT PORSCHE ART TO SUPPORT BENTON PERFORMANCE
|
|
|
If you think back to early November, we reported that legendary California Porsche shop Benton Performance suffered a massive shop fire that cost nearly their entire store of spare parts. Wheels, engines, entire chassis went up in smoke. But John Benton is never one to sit around and mope. Once the fire had been put out he and his …

THE JOY OF DRIVING A CARRERA GT ON A WINTRY MOUNTAIN ROAD
|
|
|
Thanks to a fortunate set of circumstances, we get a sense of how a well-used Carrera GT performs in wintry surroundings. No traction control, no modes to choose from, and a fearsome reputation pushes steely drivers like our man here to treat the Carrera GT's inputs with some circumspection. It's claimed a few lives and clearly doesn't
have the …
