Porsche rarely enters the supercar scene, but when they do, they redefine it. The 911 Carrera RS ruled the racetracks of the 1970s, the 959 revolutionized technology in the 1980s, and the Carrera GT of the early 2000s stunned with its Formula 1-inspired V10 engine. After a brief hiatus, Porsche returned with the 918 Spyder, unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Designed as a street-legal version of the RS Spyder Le Mans Prototype, it clocked an astonishing 6:57 Nürburgring […]...
Background Unveiled at Geneva in 1977, the Porsche 928 was designed to succeed the 911 as a luxurious grand tourer. Styled by Wolfgang Möbius, it featured a futuristic egg-shaped design and a front-mounted V-8 engine, marking a shift in Porsche’s engineering philosophy. Named “European Car of the Year” in 1978, the 928 continued to evolve until production ceased in 1995.

Words by Glen Smale. Images by Glen Smale & Corporate Archives Porsche AG With the introduction of the Porsche 911 in 1963, there was no high-performance model included in the line-up. It took almost a decade for that to happen, when the 911 Carrera RS was introduced at the Paris Salon in 1972. On Rolf Sprenger’s arrival at the Porsche factory in 1967, the 911 model range was still fairly new and little had been done to develop the car […]...
Porsche may be best known for its track-dominating sports cars, but the brand has a rich history of off-road adventures as well. The legendary Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar proved that a high-performance 911 could thrive in the harshest environments, winning the grueling 1986 Dakar Rally. More recently, Porsche released the 992 Dakar, a factory-built, lifted 911 designed for adventure. Even the aftermarket world has embraced the trend, with companies like Singer crafting their own off-road-ready creations, such as the ACS (All-Terrain […]...

Winters in Canada are not for everyone. Temperatures plummet. The nights draw in. Snowfall is measured by the meter. For Manuel Ratke working for Porsche in Toronto, the arrival of the Christmas holidays presented a challenge: sit it out at home in minus 10 °C or find somewhere a little more hospitable for he and his wife, to see in the festive period. Ratke has friends and former colleagues in Miami, Florida, one of whom invited them to spend the […]...
Love at First Sight: Graham Lister In 1977, Graham Lister flew halfway around the world to collect his first Porsche, a 911, from the factory. For his second Porsche, he stayed closer to home. “I noticed a little 356 A Coupe on a side street in Napier, New Zealand, in 1980,” he says. “I knew its owner was a fellow Porsche Club member, so I asked him, ‘if you ever decide to sell it, please would you consider selling it […]...
Few classic cars evoke the same sense of timeless elegance and performance as the Porsche 356. This iconic vehicle, first introduced in the late 1940s, continues to captivate enthusiasts and collectors, even six decades after its debut.

The episode features two stunning examples: a Carrera and a 912, meticulously restored […]...
RUF’s journey began as a humble service station in Pfaffenhausen, Germany, but within three decades, it evolved into a manufacturer of high-performance supercars. Alois Ruf Jr. began modifying this iconic model by inheriting his father’s passion for automobiles, particularly the Porsche 911. As the company grew, RUF started using body-in-white 911 chassis to craft unique vehicles. One of RUF’s most famous creations, the CTR—nicknamed the “Yellowbird“—debuted in 1987 as the fastest road-going Porsche and possibly the quickest car globally, boasting […]...

While Porsches have appeared many times on the big screen, they have also shown up over and over again on the small screen. Much like with the movies, if we listed every show with a Porsche, it’d be a small novella, so we’ll focus on the shows that have a Porsche in a more prominent role, or as a supporting prop for the storyline. Better Call Saul: 2004 Porsche Cayenne Turbo During the time that the Salamanca cousins are in […]...
