DEMAN MOTORSPORTS BUILDS A GT3-BEATER OUT OF A PORSCHE CAYMAN
|
|
|
Porsche has a bit of a Cayman complex. You know what that is, right? The Cayman, being a mid-engine car, is a great platform for big power and track performance. Unfortunately, Porsche has to keep it down a little bit lower than its ultimate potential, because it can't be faster or quicker or lap any given track better than a 911 can. The …

PORSCHE AND PENSKE TEAM UP FOR IMSA AND WEC EFFORT
|
|
|
Team Penske has been kicking butt in racing for decades, and for a lot of that time the team has been powered by Porsche. Way back in the 1960s Roger Penske himself was racing various four-cam Porsche prototype sports racing roadsters. By the 1970s, Penske and hired driver Mark Donohue were a global force, and their Porsche 917/30 became known as …

HERE’S WHAT MAKES THE PORSCHE TAYCAN 4 CROSS TURISMO SO GREAT
|
|
|
Porsche recently invited FlatSixes to drive its latest creation, the all-electric Taycan 4 Cross Turismo. As great as the standard Taycan sedan is, we actually prefer the wagon version, as it gives up very little in dynamic enjoyment, while providing much more daily livability for you and your family. In addition to hauling butt, you can also haul …

Porsche was not the first company to offer disc brakes. That honor goes to the lowly Crosley Hotshot back in 1948! Indeed, Porsche began offering disc brakes in 1962, the same year that Studebaker introduced a Bendix system on the Avanti. Porsche had been using rotors and calipers on racing cars for a few years by the time it introduced them for …

PORSCHE 911 RSR FASTEST IN FIA WEC PRE-SEASON TESTING AT SPA
|
|
|
Porsche's four-liter mid-engine drop-top has been a massive international hit for the company. With a reactive naturally-aspirated engine, gobs of torque, a sublime chassis, and open air motoring, it's one of the best sports cars to ever leave the factory. For the Chinese market, Porsche's biggest market, it holds a problem, however. Under China's …

WORRIED ABOUT CHARGING YOUR TAYCAN? IT’S GETTING EASIER EVERYDAY

One of the objections to buying an electric car, such as the Porsche Taycan, I rear regularly is the lack of public DC fast charging. While it's only ever really critical for longer road trips, the North American EV buyer still wants to know that they can take a road trip and not get stranded. Thanks to efforts from Electrify America and others …

2021 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo first drive review: The greatest car… in the world?

It’s unlikely that Porsche set out to build the perfect car when it kicked off the Taycan program — back then it was called Mission E — but it’s come about as close as any auto company ever has in the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo. In the vein of a Volvo Cross Country, or an Audi Allroad, Porsche has lifted a sedan, grafted on a hatchback, and
