The 981 Cayman, introduced in 2013, marked a significant leap forward in Porsche’s lineage of sports cars, drawing ever closer to the iconic 911 in allure and performance. Its sleek, modern design represented a departure from its predecessor, with a longer wheelbase, wider tracks, and a lower profile, enhancing both aesthetics and handling. Notably, the front and rear underwent subtle yet impactful revisions, featuring sharper headlights, more aggressive air intakes, and a wider aero wing seamlessly integrated into the taillights. […]...
With a limited production of just 500 units worldwide, the 991.2-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series lives up to its new moniker. With an MSRP of $257,500 USD, an ‘entry-level’ Exclusive Series doesn’t cost much more than a fully-loaded Turbo S. However, if Economics 101 has taught us anything, it is that its scarcity alone will mean that this car will fetch well above that price, particularly in the indirect sales market. At its core, the Turbo S features a higher-output, […]...

The demise of the FIA World Sportscar Championship in 1992 left a void in international GT racing, but the emergence of the BPR Global GT Endurance Series breathed new life into the sport.

To date, 27 different variants make up the current generation of the 911 model line-up. Chatting to its developers at a ‘speed dating’ event made one thing clear above all: each Porsche 911 has its own story. Chaos is the enemy of the engineer. Perhaps that would explain why there are usually empty seats in lecture theatres during talks on fluid mechanics. This topic is all about turbulence, one of the greatest challenges in mathematics. Complex partial differential equations, Navier-Stokes […]...
The man behind this 356 limousine is John Dixon who decided to create a personalized Porsche-based limousine for his daughter’s wedding. With the expertise of Don Boeke, known as “the Egyptian” at his Dayton, Ohio customizing shop, the unique 356 limousine took shape. Constructed from multiple stripped 356s, this limousine featured a blend of elements, including a 1953 “bent-window” front end, renowned for its single windshield pane. Its Grand Prix White exterior complemented by chrome accents and whitewall tires […]...

On the basis of the “Ollon Villars Bergspyder”, Porsche developed the type 906 Carrera, which was soon only referred to as Carrera 6. The six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, the wheel suspension with coil springs, the wishbones and stabilizers mounted in metal instead of rubber to improve driving behavior, and the brakes […]...
Innovative software—from the gaming sector, for instance—supports Style Porsche during the design process. But even in the age of digitalization, the sports car manufacturer’s design department still highly values the design quality of classic sketches and labor-intensive clay models. Along the path from vision to reality, the designers combine the best of both worlds. What direction is the design process? Has the powerwall consigned the classic drawing board to the past? Do designers still use pencils, or only digital input […]...
The 718 Spyder RS was created solely for the joy of driving, incorporating Porsche’s finest naturally aspirated flat-six engine into its most spirited convertible sports car. The captivating sound produced by the flat-six as it reaches the 9,000 rpm redline is bound to give you a thrill. The Porsche 718 Spyder RS is likely the ultimate version of the ICE-powered Boxster. With a staggering 493 horsepower, it’s an extraordinary car featuring components from the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, a close-ratio PDK dual-clutch […]...
This 964-generation Porsche 911 Carrera 2 has been elegantly transformed into a tribute to the iconic RSR model. Externally, it features upgrades reminiscent of the RSR, including revamped front and rear bumpers, composite F-model-style front wings, extended rear wheel arches, and aerodynamic door mirrors.

The 15th Targa California rally recently concluded with most drivers logging 1,000+ miles over the roads “less traveled” of California’s central region. Porsche has a long history of naming their cars after yesteryear’s most grueling events (e.g. the Carrera Panamericana and the Targa Floria), and while this rally is by no means a race through the hills of Sicily, it is to some degree, a test of endurance, hence the name “Targa California.” Ardent SoCal Porsche enthusiast, David Keens brought […]...
Since its debut in 1954, Porsche has reintroduced the Speedster model several times, the latest being the 991 iteration. The 991 Speedster combines elements from various Porsche models: its body borrows the silhouette of the 4S Cabriolet, while carbon fiber components are sourced from the 911 R, and its bumpers from the GT3 Touring. Yet, the Speedster boasts distinct features such as a shorter windshield frame and a lower fly-line. One exceptional offering for the latest Speedster is the Heritage […]...
In 1988, Porsche unveiled the “Commemorative Edition” Carrera (also called the Jubilee Edition) to celebration the 250,000th 911. Debuting at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1963, Porsche built only 875 of these Jubilee 911 cars. Like other special editions of its time the special enhancements were almost entirely cosmetic. In this case that meant special exterior and interior colors: Diamond Blue Metallic for the exterior, with color-matched Fuchs wheels, and Silver Blue Metallic in the interior. It makes for an […]...

The Porsche Heritage Centre offers a fascinating look into the brand’s history of unconventional prototypes and concept cars that have shaped its identity as a leader in the industry.

Time has shown us that Porsche is very conservative regarding partnering with outside firms. So, who they chose to collaborate with reveals much about the partner, as is the case with Manthey Racing. Manthey Racing GmbH is a company with more than 250 employees and came to international attention thanks to its activities in the VLN Endurance Championship Nürburgring, the WEC sports car world championship, and other racing events. The company has been responsible for running GT works competition for […]...

The 992 GT3 becomes the seventh iteration of one of Porsche’s most established and beloved automobiles and it continues to embody the spirit of previous GT3 models by amalgamating all that is awesome about the 911 – and the Porsche brand – in a single road car. And as always, Porsche pushes the boundaries, innovating and making the platform better in all areas. With a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter engine revving to 9,000 rpm, derived from Porsche’s GT3 Cup racing car, […]...
Every so often, Porsche creates a short production run of cars that celebrates the attributes of one of their special models. In 1993, the Stuttgart engineers decided to develop a race version of their 911 Type 964 Carrera RS, aptly named the Carrera RSR 3.8, and aimed it squarely at the race track. With the 1993 Carrera 2 as the starting point, Porsche had to make at least 50 roadgoing cars in order to qualify this new model for the […]...

These were adapted to comply with U.S. regulations and subsequently sent to Porsche’s motorsport partner, Andial, for race modifications. Similar to the Carrera RS, the Carrera Cup boasts a chassis with seam welding, an aluminum hood, a limited-slip differential, and a 3.6-liter flat-six engine tuned to produce 256 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft of torque. Despite the […]...
The Carrera GT production car was unveiled in March 2003 at the Geneva motor show in Switzerland. Following great sales success, the target was raised from 1000 to 1500 cars, but finally 1270 Carrera GT supercars were produced. The cars were made between September 2003 and April 2006. More importantly, it has become an icon, probably the best supercar ever made thanks to a purity and performance that is missing in today’s cars. There are sports cars. And there are […]...
