The Porsche Macan: An Off-Road Perspective
|
Last month Porsche invited us to spend a few days in California playing with the Macan S and Macan Turbo both on and off the track. From that visit we
already answered a lot of your individual questions about the Macan and gave you our on-track impression. In this, the second of a two (2) story spread, we chronicle our seat time on the hills and desert of the off-road course at Willow Springs. Is the Macan as capable off the track as it is on?
This Guy Built A 917 Using A 1:18 Scale Model As His Only Reference
|
A lot of our Porsche friends like to tinker. Hell, some of them are incredibly talented. However, I think even the most skilled of them might have hesitated before taking on the project
that this guy did. According to the seller of this 917/10 replica, his single source of information/specification came from a 1:18 scale model. That's right, he built a full size 917 using the dimensions he extrapolated from the scale model you see above. Even better, he powered it with dual flat six motors. While it's not quite finished (actually it seems far from finished), what's been done is fairly impressive; if not in skill, then creativity. Either way, it's for sale and could be yours if you have what it takes to see it through to completion. Related Porsche Blog Posts You'll Enjoy!

so. Read More. Related Porsche Blog Posts You'll Enjoy!

2014 Monterey Porsche Auction Results
|
Well, the Monterey auctions have come and gone, and we have to say we weren't really blown away by the numbers Porsche lots brought this time around, and only one lot really surprised us. There were certainly a few bargains had
by savvy buyers, and some of the weekend's biggest Porsche lots were either "No Sales", or "No Shows". There were only a couple of lots that exceeded their pre-auction estimates, and the vast majority were either on the low end of their estimate spectrum, or below. In fact, a whopping 27 Porsches left their respective auction stages without selling, accounting for more than a third of the lots. Is the Porsche market bubble on the downturn now? Read all the results here.
