The legendary Porsche 911 has gotten a dramatic makeover with the introduction of the 992.2 Carrera GTS, now equipped with an advanced hybrid powertrain.

In the rolling fields of post-war Germany, a visionary project took shape—not on racetracks or autobahns, but on farmlands. Years before Porsche became a household name in sleek sports cars, it left its mark in agriculture with the Porsche-Diesel tractor. Manufactured in Friedrichshafen-Manzell, Germany, these tractors embodied engineering precision tailored for a different kind of performance: plowing fields and powering rural life. Playing at a much deeper level than simply a tractor company, the Porsche Diesel project is a story […]...

Story by Greg James. Photos by Dan O’Connell. I love reading road tests. Especially those that involve shootouts when cars are pitted against each other. However, in the traditional automotive rags that get their revenues from advertisers, it’s often comical how close any number of performance cars finish points-wise when they’re judged as a group. While the objective figures (0-60) can’t really be fudged, it’s the subjective ones that often bring the performance laggards up in the ratings when final […]...
The 2024 season will go down as one of the most successful in Porsche’s long-distance history: in just the second year with the Porsche 963, the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart won seven of eight possible titles together with the works team Porsche Penske Motorsport. The basis for this result was the consistent improvement of the team structure as well as the work on the reliability and performance of the around 515 kW (700 PS) hybrid prototype. The overall result […]...
First-hand experiences with Porsches often forge life-long bonds between the car and its owner. For some, this relationship may have started the first time they drove their Porsche through a canyon, and experienced a “one with the car” sensation never felt before. Others may endure a restoration project and realize the feeling of putting a classic Porsche back on the road is one of overwhelming satisfaction. Regardless of the origin, these stories of “man and machine” are threads of a […]...

Chassis 001274, built in March 2005, has had only two private owners and shows minimal use, making it one of the most desirable examples of the Carrera GT. Originally finished […]...
The debate over converting a classic Porsche to electric power versus preserving it stock divides enthusiasts, AS IT SHOULD! Purists argue that keeping it stock maintains the car’s historical integrity, preserving the unique mechanical feel, engine sound, and character that define Porsche’s legacy and signature driving experience. For them, altering the drivetrain erases its identity and diminishes its collector value. Conversely, advocates for electrification emphasize sustainability, enhanced acceleration, and practicality in modern driving conditions. They see conversions as prolonging the […]...

Forty years to the day […]...

Background & Tech In the late 1960s, as California’s new anti-smog legislation became operative, it was apparent that highly tuned cars like the Porsche 911 would be affected. Breathing through carburettors and running on premium fuel, the 911 was soon in difficulty with traffic authorities. The S was even withdrawn for a year in 1969 so that Porsche could reduce its emissions, replacing the Weber carburettors with mechanical injection but as the law became tighter this proved only a temporary […]...
