Jalopnik

If you’ve read any of my work, you probably know that I’m Jalopnik’s biggest Porsche 911 fanboy. I love them. When everyone says, “Miata is always the answer,” I say nope and point to a 911 because it can do everything better – which it should,…

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it’s also true that beauty is in the eye of the Porsche owner. Or former kid who had a Ferrari poster on their bedroom wall. Ferrari and Porsche are lauded as some of the most iconic car brands, which both…

A few weeks back, I asked you all what the ugliest car ever to wear the Prancing Horse badge was. Today, we’ll turn our attention to the worst-looking creations of another celebrated brand: Porsche. What’s the ugliest Porsche, in your opinion?Read more...

We here at Jalopnik have never been shy about sharing our opinions on cars — but some takes are simply too hot or too off-the-wall to share on the regular. Today, though, is our day. Today, you’re about to learn more about the staff of Jalopnik than you…

Listen, if you don’t know that I’m a total 911 fanboy by now, I can’t really help you. As I’ve said before, it’s the best car and that’s because there’s a version of the 911 to do just about anything you’d want it for, from racing to off-roading. Read more...

If you can afford a new Porsche, you clearly already have money. After all, even a Macan with no options costs nearly $60,000 including destination, and an entry-level 718 Cayman will run you just short of $65,000 including destination fees. That’s not even…

The seller of today’s Nice Price or No Dice Porsche Taycan says the arrival of a third child has made the car an impractical choice as the family whip. They also say it’s priced to sell, so let’s see if it’s cheap enough to get potential buyers to…

Rivian expected more from Amazon, Porsche doesn’t want to look back in 10 years to find it invested all its money in synthetic fuels for nothing and Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume is dreaming of a Skoda stock market spinoff, among other things. All that and…

Where do we all stand on the Porsche 928? It’s not a car I think about much, but in the off chance I do, what strikes me first, invariably, is how damn weird the thing is. The headlights with the off position pointed in no particular direction, yet somehow…

When you think about those iconic Airstream caravans, what kind of car do you imagine towing it? Maybe a vintage Chevrolet truck, or a classic Jeep? What about a Porsche? Well, the German automaker partnered with Airstream to design a futuristic RV concept…

One of the things that helped convince me to buy a 996-generation Porsche 911 (other than not being able to afford a 997) was the availability of something called Porsche Classic Communication Management Plus for 996s and 986 Boxsters. This system basically…

Jansen got an old Boxster on the cheap, and while the Porsche has given him a lot of smiles per dollar it’s starting to become more of a chore. He wants to replace it with something more up-to-date but still awesome enough to throw down some good lap times.…

So, a flat engine is built super differently from other inline or v-style engines. Air-cooled flat engines are built even more differently. For example, on air-cooled Porsche 911s, the crankcase is actually two castings bolted together and contain the…

Not everyone has great parents, and not everyone’s parents are healthy enough that they should be driving. And sadly, some people’s parents are no longer with us. But it can still be fun to fantasize about hitting it big one day and being able to give the…

Any time you think you’ve seen it all in our wonderful world of cars, that’s when the universe conspires to surprise you. Some years back our friend Patrick George reflected on this joy of discovery through the prism of the Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ1 —…

We all knew a hybrid Porsche 911 would eventually happen. Now, we’re getting a better idea of what that would look like, as a report from Autocar says a 911 GT2 RS Hybrid is indeed coming, and it’ll be the fastest-accelerating, most powerful road-going…

The rise of electric bikes has been rumbling away for a few years now. In 2022, e-bike sales even outpaced electric and hybrid car sales here in the U.S. In fact, the global e-bike market is predicted to become an $80-billion industry by 2027. It should come…

Car enthusiasts tend to see many more cars than the average person, yet, it doesn’t necessarily mean they get a chance encounter with the car they love. Last week, we asked readers what their white whale car was. The responses were wide-ranging, from rare…

Late last year, Porsche unveiled the concisely-named 911 GT3 RS Tribute to Carrera RS Package. But that reveal only gave us renderings — boring, flatly-lit digital imagery of what the real-life car would eventually look like. Now, finally, we get to see the…

Is Porsche on to something? Last June, the German automaker announced that it was investing $75 million and acquiring a 12.5-percent stake in HIF Global LLC, a Chilean company that is producing what’s called “e-fuel,” sustainably-produced gasoline and…

If you’ve been following along with our coverage of my 996 Porsche 911 ownership experience, you won’t be surprised to read that I love the car. It’s incredible, and it’s been everything I’d hoped it would be. The unjustly maligned 996 platform is…

Folks, tomorrow is the Super Bowl. If you weren’t aware of this, neither was I. I guess, when the biggest game of your sport ends up being Chiefs and Eagles, you start to wonder if it’s worth watching at all.Read more...

Porsche’s 959 production car was arguably the most advanced vehicle produced in the 1980s. Before the production 959, though, there was the 959 Paris-Dakar, and now the Porsche Museum is undertaking a unique restoration of the second-place car, and it’s…

Companies that make super high-performance road cars are always looking for ways to make them more racecar-like. One of the more popular ways of doing this has been offering cars with center lock wheels. One of the biggest culprits here has been Porsche with…

Now that practically every luxury automaker has an SUV to call its own, the next step is coming up with flagship, battery-electric versions. Porsche has been hard at work on its interpretation of the brief, and one thing’s clear, if fresh rumors bear out:…
