Porsche 913 rendering
We've been hearing rumors of a new Porsche to be placed in the model lineup somewhere between the 911 Turbo S and the 918 for sometime now.  But that's all they are, rumors.  Tired of the rumors, famed graphic designer Rene Garcia (you've seen his work in Star Trek, Transformers, The Matrix Trilogy, etc.) decided to design one on his own, the Porsche 913.

porsches on ebay
For all of the eccentric and eclectic Porsche collectors and enthusiasts out there, we've decided that it is about time someone aggregated the best of the best that eBay has to offer in the Porsches-for-sale department. We've tracked down five exciting Porsches for folks to purchase today, including a collector 944 (is that an oxymoron?), an SC racer, a low-mile up-and-comer, an extremely rare open-top long-hood, and a GT Cruiser with a stick shift. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good. Check them all out in this post and you decide.

Visiting Patrick Long's Luftgekühlt With Patrick Dempsey, Magnus Walker and Chad McQueen 
Luftgekühlt
Luftgekühlt is the German word for "air-cooled" and it's also the name of a new gathering of Porsches conceived and executed by factory racer Patrick Long.  Held last weekend at Deus Ex Machina in Venice, CA, the inaugural show featured a huge collection of invite only Porsches.  Everything from pristine museum cars to R Gruppe and "outlaw" hot rods, were carefully hand-picked by Patrick to draw a crowd.  You may not have known about the show and you most likely didn't attend, but don't worry, we did! Check out our pictures and interviews with Pat Long, Patrick Dempsey, Chad McQueen and Magnus Walker.

Porsche Project Secret
Porsche's secret prototypes aren't so secret anymore.   Over the past months and years we've seen countless videos providing details on individual prototypes from Porsche themselves as well as tours of their so called "secret warehouse" where all these historical gems are kept.   However, there are still a number of Porsche prototypes and never-built studies yet to be seen by the public.  Project: Secret! includes 14 such Porsche's and we tell you how you can experience them first hand.
