Porsche has a long history of racing at Pikes Peak, and equally a long history of winning on the mountain. 2021 returns with some unfinished business after BBi and David Donohue failed to reach the finish line with a flat tire in 2020 en route to what otherwise should have been the overall win. Last year the race was delayed and had a reduced field …

Porsche has a long history with racing, but by 1966, they still had not ventured into the oldest motoring event in the United States, the Indianapolis 500, and would not for another 14 years.  One of the most grandiose spectacles of all time, the Indy 500 has been held at the “yard of bricks” since 1911.  By the mid-1960s, most of the privateer racers had died off …

One time I was auto with an automaker enjoying Angeles Crest Highway and related roads outside of Los Angeles. While the car doesn't matter for this story, what happened does. After coming around a corner at a reasonable clip I saw a sharp rock a moment too late and hit it with my right front tire. It was small but mighty, causing a puncture in …

The Porsche Taycan range continues to grow with the addition of the Cross Turismo. Now it appears the lineup is about to grow again with evidence of a GTS variant coming for the sedan. That’s not all, it appears the Taycan GTS wagon will be a Sport Turismo instead of a Cross Turismo according to InsideEVs, citing a since-deleted post on …

What if there was a car show, all about Porsche, which was actually fun to watch? A travel show based around cars and culture and community? Hey, it's here! Porsche Road …

The Boxster and Cayman are incredible pieces of the Porsche family, which already hold over 25 years of mid-engine history. The "entry level" sports car family is important to Porsche, as it allows people to not only join the Porsche faithful for around $60,000, but it gives customers a stepping stone to experience the brand before getting into a …
