There are very few names in the motorsport world that are as highly respected as Niki Lauda’s. One of the most technical, determined, and calculating drivers of all time, he was a major influence to legends that raced against him and raced after him, names such as Hunt, Rosberg, Prost, Senna, Schumacher, Hakkinen, and Hamilton. However, in 1969, a few years before he set foot in a Formula car of any type, there was a little sports car company out […]...

Their bespoke approach extended to the cabin, where 80% of the interior was custom-crafted. Beneath […]...
Most Porsche fans know little about this epic wide-bodied 911 based race car. While the iconic 2.7 RS is every fan boys dream car, the RSR is the whole reason for the RS’s existence in the first place so we are dedicating some space here to tell you all about it.

When 2019 came, this EV from a little German company in Stuttgart shattered expectations, becoming the benchmark for performance EV vehicles. Audi followed soon after, and Tesla revised their top model to become the Model S Plaid in an effort to keep up. EV hypercars also started releasing in 2022 from companies such as Lotus and Rimac, and all of a sudden there […]...

Equipped with a robust drive system, meticulously calibrated handling, and a distinctive design, the latest Cayenne GTS adheres to this philosophy while maintaining its practicality for daily use. Chassis technology from the Cayenne Turbo GT The precisely honed, GTS-specific chassis […]...
The new Panamera is both a sports car and a touring sedan – and thanks to the new Porsche Active Ride chassis, it offers a driving experience that sets new standards. Sports car and touring sedan, agility plus comfort – this is the goal of the Porsche Panamera. When it comes to chassis development, this poses a challenge, as the development goals of optimum traction and high-performance cornering are at odds with driving comfort, and vice versa. Performance vs. Comfort […]...

Less is more By modern standards, even the weight of the standard Carrera at 1210kg would be enough to celebrate, but Porsche shaved around […]...

The wanderlust must have been extraordinary ahead of this latest edition: this time, the journey took the team more than 18,000 kilometers away to New Zealand. An evolutionary parallel universe Anyone expecting a strange new world is […]...
The Porsche 962 arrived on scene in 1984 as essentially a Porsche 956 for the IMSA/US market. IMSA mandated that the driver’s feet had to be behind the front wheel centerline. Therefore Porsche needed to change the 956 to accommodate this difference and ultimately that meant redesigning the monocoque and giving the car a new designation. The 962’s monocoque was basically a stretched 956 tub with one primary difference. The result was that the 962’s front overhang was shorter (in order to stay […]...

While sharing similarities in its carbon fiber central monocoque and suspension with the Carrera GT, the 918’s hybrid powertrain marked a leap forward in Porsche’s engineering ethos. Even over a […]...
