The rear-engine, rear-wheel drive GT2 RS celebrated its official world premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK which took place from June 30th to July 2nd, 2017. It was here that the world was first introduced to Porsche’s fastest and most powerful street-legal 911 ever made. A...
1993 Porsche 911 Type 964 Carrera RSR 3.8-Litre 'Strassenversion' Coupé | Bonhams Cars
Bonhams will auction one of the two existing examples of the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8-liter “Strassenversion” Coupé on November 25 during its “On The Grid – The Abu Dhabi Auction.” In 1992, Porsche introduced the 964 Carrera RS, a lightweight variant reminiscent of the legendary 2.7 and 3.0-liter RS...
Launched in late 2007 as a 2008 model, the 997-series 911 GT2 represents a significant chapter in Porsche’s history. Powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six engine equipped with variable geometry turbochargers, it delivers an impressive 523 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 505 lb-ft of torque at just 2,200 rpm, with a...
2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic
A total of 1,250 examples of the limited-edition model by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. While the original was a Carrera S, this time around, the power and handling come from a much feistier car, the Type 922 Turbo S. Returning is that amazing grey paint, that swooping ducktail spoiler, and the double-bubble roof. All-new is a mildly detuned Turbo S engine producing 543 HP and 442 lb-ft of turbocharged torque, mated to what can only be called a gift from the gods, a 7-speed manual gearbox.
Slantnosed and based on that of the 935 racecars, with pop-up headlamps. The front spoiler was made deeper in order to accommodate the extra oil cooler, while intakes in the rear wings fed air to the brakes. The larger turbocharger and four-outlet exhaust gave 30bhp of extra power. Porsche began their “special order program” offering a Flachbau option (Slantnose) for the 930 in very limited production. All of this at a cost of nearly 2 times the standard 930S.
Currently up for bids on Bring A Trailer, this 2016 Porsche 911 R is #720 of the 991 units produced in a single model year. With just 2,200 miles, it remains a highly sought-after collector’s item. Originally delivered to New Country Porsche of Greenwich, Connecticut, it has been part of...
Highlights Two electrified variants at market launch: world premiere of Cayenne Electric and Cayenne Turbo Electric Super sports car performance: up to 850 kW (1,139 hp), 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds and a top track speed of up to 162 mph Fast travel thanks to exceptional charging performance and efficiency:...
The Porsche 965 was an engineering mule, used to try and solve the tough problem of how to replace the 930's turbocharged, air-cooled engine to power a new sub-959, range-topping 911. Costs ballooned, the project floundered, and ultimately in its last throes, its engineers got desperate. The flat-six with water-cooled heads was too complex, and too expensive, to work. A water-cooled Audi V8 was tested out back, a last-ditch effort to find a cost-effective, power-dense solution.
Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo
The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo is extreme indulgence at its peak. A family wagon with almost 700 hp on tap and the ability to launch hard enough to strain your back muscles. Porsche claims the car can hit 60 mph in just 3 seconds. It's impressive on its own, but even then, it seems the carmaker was being conservative as some motoring journalists were able to clock a time of 2.7 seconds. That's faster than a Ferrari 488 GTB!
Generally speaking the early models or so called ‘Pre A 356′ models are more desirable than the later models. At the top of the pyramid and the most exclusive is the Carrera version which carries the legendary 4 cam ‘Fuhrman’ engine. But just below that comes the ‘Super’ speedster. The ‘super’ version had more horsepower (75 vs the standard 60) and the powerful ‘type 528 engine’ for the 1500 Super version.
Like its successful predecessors, the new 911 Cup pushes boundaries. It combines series components from our GT sports cars with pure racing technology to create a coherent and performance-based overall concept. The new 911 Cup car will provide enhanced performance, offering more power, quicker lap times and revisions for improved user friendliness. The newest 911 cup model combines extensive updates with the design of the Type 992.2 generation 911.
In Switzerland Ernst and Fritz Beutler made a good living from special bodies on both Volkswagen and Porsche chassis. Ultimately Porsche took a close interest in what the brothers were doing because it had 2+2 ambitions of its own. The Swiss brothers Beutler stepped on the stage of Porsche-car history...

The first impact bumper Porsche is almost always overlooked by air cooled 911 enthusiasts drawn to later, more powerful models or the ‘long bonnet’ cars of the 1960s and early 70s. Consequently, the underrated mid-decade 2.7 can be something of a bargain. History  In contrast to the American norm where...
This 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight is a rare and highly sought-after model, with only 200 units produced in the M471 Lightweight configuration.

David vs. Goliath The story of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche is, without doubt, one of the most fascinating tales of dreams coming to reality on the scarcest of resources. Surviving WWII was in itself, a monumental challenge that the small German engineering firm somehow managed. As is well documented, Porsche contracted...
The 992 Porsche Targa 4 GTS adds more grunt, packs less weight, has sharper handling, and packages it up in the sexiest bodystyle that Porsche sells. The Targa 4 GTS gives us the best of all worlds, providing all-wheel-drive traction, an open-top experience, and a fixed-roof feeling in the same car. Its automatic transmission and adaptive suspension completed the image of a daily-driver sports car. This may be the perfect car.
Porsche 911 R Reviewed Porsche 911 R – With one Top Gear test track and one rear-wheel-drive, naturally-aspirated, 493bhp manual Porsche to hand, you might assume Matt got quite excited filming this one… and, um, you’d be right. Sit back then, and celebrate nine minutes of noise, sideways-ness, driver involvement...
The Porsche 911 E was designed to fall nicely between the 911 T touring model and the top of range high-performance 911S. The Porsche 911 T would continue for its second year in Europe, and newly introduced into the United States market, as the entry level offering for the 911, sitting below the 1969 911E and the 1969 911S. The 1969 911E was powered by engine Type 901/09 (Type 901/11 with Sportomatic) featuring mechanical fuel injection (MFI). The 2.0 L Aircooled Flat 6 was good for 140 bhp at 6500 rpm.
Unveiled at Porsche’s 70th-anniversary celebration at Rennsport Reunion VI in California in September 2018, the new 935 was a limited-edition, track-only special that paid homage to the original 935 race cars. Achieving remarkable success on racetracks worldwide during the late 1970s, 935s secured victories at the 24 Hours of Le...
