Driving a classic car in “LA traffic” requires some fortitude and courage, so it was a pleasure to see how many Porsche 356s arrived at the December’s 356 cruise-in at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Dry weather on the “Miracle Mile” helped boost attendance, yielding just under seventy Porsche 356s. A...

The Singer Dynamics and Lightweight Study (DLS), limited to only 75 hand-built examples, was conceived to explore the ultimate potential of the 964-generation Porsche 911 through extreme weight reduction and advanced engineering. Developed in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering, the project infused Formula One expertise into its aerodynamics, materials science,...
Porsche refers to it as a new generation, even though the internal chassis code 997 remains unchanged. The 997.2 therefore is more of a mid-term facelift with some significant technological changes. Notably, the water-cooled flat-six engines get direct-injection technology, and a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission replaces the previous five-speed Tiptronic automatic while the shift-it-yourself option remains a six-speed. Base Carrera coupe gets 339 bhp and 287 ft lbs and a 0.3 second faster 0 - 60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. Top speed now 179 mph. A nice update indeed.
Ruf released the Turbo R Limited in 2016, paying homage to the original Turbo R. Only seven units were produced, all of which were sold.

The Porsche 962 (also known as the 962C in its Group C form) was built by Porsche as a replacement for the 956 and designed mainly to comply with these IMSA’s GTP regulations.  The 962 was introduced at the end of 1984, from which it quickly became successful through private...
Simply stated, the Porsche 918 Spyder was a mid-engined, plug-in hybrid supercar. The Spyder was powered by a naturally-aspirated 4.6-liter V8 engine that was capable of producing 608 horsepower (453 kW). Paired with this engine are two electric motors that deliver an additional 279 horsepower each, for a cumulative combined total of 887...
Evolution, not Revolution Since its debut in 1964, the Porsche 911 has epitomized engineering evolution. Conceived by Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche, this iconic vehicle has undergone continuous refinement, while preserving its distinctive rear-engine layout and silhouette. Each stage represents a chapter in Porsche’s heritage, from air-cooled engines of the yesteryears to...
It was created by Dr. Ing. h.c. Ferdinand Porsche and a handful of his close associates in 1937-38 and, despite the hideous wartime destruction, is still alive and well today, a distinguished septuagenarian. Yet important though it is, not much has been seen or heard of the Type 64 or,...

The Porsche 550 was the brand’s first production racing car, designed to be both street legal and track-ready, allowing drivers to race and then drive it home. A unique engine, developed by Ernst Fuhrmann, powered the 550. This flat DOHC engine had four overhead camshafts, similar to the Porsche Type...
JayEmm on Cars on YouTube dives into the Porsche 928, the model Porsche once seriously considered as a replacement for the 911. Introduced in 1977, the 928 was conceived as a forward-looking, front-engined V8 grand tourer aimed at expanding Porsche’s appeal—particularly in the U.S. Unlike the 911s of the period,...
One Take in a Tuned Porsche 996 Turbo X50 The Porsche 996 has sustained a long reputation for reliable speed, and with the recent spike in 80’s Porsche Turbo’s, it now has a new reputation: the cheapest Porsche Turbo you can buy. Nyx bought this one in San Diego the...
The 997.2 Turbo was introduced for the 2010 model year and received a new 3.8 litre engine capable of 493 horsepower, a significant evolution as compared to the 473hp in the 997.1 Turbo. The 997.2 Turbo was available in both manual and automatic transmissions, but the automatic evolved from the Tiptronic used in its predecessor, to a sportier dual-clutch PDK. Approximately 3,300 coupes were produced and 1,800 cabrios, far less than its predecessor. An epic all-around GT with more performance than you could ever need.
Porsche 962-010 Works
Porsche 962-010 Works It did two races and won neither but, with the exception of 956/001, it’s still probably the most important car in our story. Unlike its two Shell Dunlop sisters, 010 was not a repainted ’87 Rothmans car but a brand-new chassis (number 962/140) built specifically to win...
The Story of the Porsche 911 – A Timeline Porsche Prepares To Evolve Beyond The 356 By the early 1960’s, with the commercial success of the 356 (in all of its variants) over the past decade, Porsche had garnered a reputation for building quality, high-performance vehicles that handled equally well...

Porsche 908/02 Spyder Pictures Introduced in 1969, the three-litre 908/2 is an evolution of the Porsche 908K Coupe. The Spyder body was perfectly suited for high downforce races like the Nürburgring 1000 km and the Targa Florio. It was also about 100 kg lighter than the Coupe. You can see from the pictures...

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...
The Porsche 911 GT2 made its debut with the 993 generation, marking the peak of air-cooled 911 performance. Essentially a race car in disguise, this homologation special was engineered to dominate GT2-class competition. By the time Porsche shifted its focus to the GT3 category in the early 2000s, the next...
In 2000, Porsche gave us the Boxster S. With a 3.2 liter naturally aspirated Flat-6, it was good for 250 bhp and 225 ft lbs of torque, up by 25% on the base 2.7 liter Boxster. Hardward changes, a 6-speed gearbox and all this extra power and torque transformed the Boxster driving experience. From behind the wheel, the Boxster S rushes forward in a way that is missing from the base model, that torque increase really making itself known, especially in the midrange. 0 to 60 mph now takes 5.60 second (compared to 6.5 for the 2.7 L base model). Top speed is 161 mph and the quarter mile is 14.1 seconds.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Targa (964) (1990 - 1993)
This was the last generation Targa with traditional removable Targa roof (till 991). The Carrera 4 Targa outsold the Carrera 2 Targa by 2x, making the 4 Targa much rarer and more collectible. In all, only 1,329 units were made. Overall, the Carrera 4 packed almost the same technical specifications as the Carrera 2 model. The Targa top was quite a project to take off (compared to the simple and fast cabriolet process) so be prepared to garage it all the time or spend 20 minutes every time you want to enjoy open top fun.
Multi-time Champion Patrick Long, Porsche Works Driver, utilizes all the systems of the new plug-in hybrid Porsche 918 Spyder for a hot lap of the new Circuit of the Americas in Austin Texas.

The 996 Carrera 4S Cabriolet is the convertible version of the slightly-uprated 996 Carrera 4. Introduced a year after the 996 C4S Coupe. The Carrera 4S Cabriolet was introduced in the lineup with the new engine and the Turbo bodywork. The cabriolet version of the Carrera 4S paired the aggressive bodywork and suspension of the Turbo with the base Carrera 4 drivetrain, though it didn't get the Turbo's huge rear wing. The three-layer canvas-top was powered and it needed 20 seconds to completely retract or cover the car, at speeds up to 50 kph (31 mph). For winter, the car featured an aluminum hard-top.
Ferry Porsche had in fact requested Swiss technicians to make a less sporty and more elegant version of the 365 B and thus the 1600 Beutler Coupè was born. This project is a 2+2 based on a Porsche 1600. Like the Porsche, the car is built on a VW platform, but includes Porsche elements such as the brakes and the engine. It was built in 5 copies before production was stopped in 1957 due to a change in commercial strategies by the German company.

And our friends in Europe love that kind of power in a sports sedan, which is why Porsche built this car for them. Add some all-wheel-drive security and Diesel mileage, and the Panamera 4S Diesel may be the ultimate cross-continent cruiser.
