Rennsport Reunion is an almost overwhelming experience for any Porsche fanatic. Hell, this wasn’t even my first one and I was nearly brought to tears by the quality and diversity of ass-engine’d sports cars in Monterey’s Laguna Seca raceway. These are…

The 2024 Porsche 911 S/T is arguably the best 911 you can buy right now. Weighing in at only 3,056 pounds, it makes 518 horsepower and can hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. And while the GT3 RS is still the champ on the track, the 911 S/T was tuned with road driving…

Porsche Rennsport Reunion 7 is taking place this weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California. The automaker-organized event offered fans the opportunity to celebrate Porsche’s racing history once every few years and the marque’s…

Porsche loves debuting new, rare, expensive track toys at its fan-fest, Rennsport Reunion. In 2018, we got the 935 recreation, which caused the car world to collectively lose its mind, and on Thursday night, at Rennsport Reunion 7, it debuted it’s next…

If you can afford the high price tag, the Porsche Cayenne is one of the best luxury SUVs you can buy. It offers a rare combination of sporty and fun-to-drive while still being comfortable and quiet, and the Cayenne S might be the best of the bunch. With a…

There is no car on sale that’s like Porsche’s long-lived and much-lauded 911. Partly that’s because it’s the only car you can buy new today with a rear-mounted internal combustion engine but also, very few cars have had the continuous, incremental…

Driving a prototype vehicle can be a real mixed bag, and it can be hard to tell what the experience will be like ahead of time — but one of the ways you can start to get an idea of what you’re in for is by looking at who built it. That’s why I’m so…

Is there a non-driving element of a car that influences your perception of it more than a paint color? There’s something emotional about a vintage sports car in a truly great color. Whether it’s a color you’re very familiar with and it evokes nostalgia,…

Porsche’s 928 is undergoing a bit of a renaissance right now. People are really beginning to appreciate the brand’s only V8-powered two-door coupe as something other than a weird branch off of the main Porsche timestream, and that’s awesome. While the…

I’m a really lucky dude because I get to drive a lot of Porsches. I’ve driven new 911s and old 911s, 914s, 944s and 928s, Taycans and Macans, and Cayennes and Panameras. It’s a pretty good way to live, tbh, but one production Porsche I’ve never had the…

I’m sure most of us agree that no matter the style, sporty cars are the best kind of cars. Whether it’s a hot hatch that’s been tuned for ultimate fun, or a drop-top coupe that puts a smile on your face whenever you hop behind the wheel, they’re all…

These days, most new cars are out of reach for Americans who don’t earn six figures, and that includes the vast majority of electric cars. So in order to get more drivers behind the wheel of something more environmentally friendly, Colorado has announced an…

A few months ago, I got some time behind the wheel of the brand-new 2024 Porsche Cayenne. I drove the S model and the top-tier, wicked-fast Turbo GT; both were incredible. In fact, I’d say it’s comfortably the best SUV on sale today. Of course, Porsche…

It seems like every year for the past 13 or 14 years, we’ve hit what appeared to be peak “old hot-rod 911,” and each time that happens, we can’t possibly get any more exotic, expensive, powerful or lightweight. Well, we might have actually hit the peak…

While Porsche has long yanked the reins on the mid-engine Cayman preventing it from outshining the halo 911, an aftermarket turbo on today’s Nice Price or No Dice 987 might level the playing field. Let’s see what it costs to pay to play. Read more...

Five years ago, Porsche developed the 919 Evo, the unrestricted version of its three-time Le Mans-winning prototype. The German automaker’s factory racing team used the 919 Evo to shatter Nürburgring’s outright lap record by a 51-second margin. While not…

A Florida man has been arrested after trying to register a stolen Porsche 911 that went missing from a historic car museum in June 2023. The man was caught by the authorities when attempting to register the stolen car in Florida using a VIN from another 911…

Today’s Nice Price or No Dice VW is notable both for its rarity (when was the last time you saw a 412?) and for the notoriety of sharing its motor with the Porsche 914. Let’s see if this survivor sedan is notably priced as well. Read more...

It’s been a week now since I drove the 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS in the rolling hills of the Swabian Alps in Germany. Normally I don’t get this much time to reflect on a day of driving a new car before writing about it, but I’m glad that in this case, I…

Mike lives in New England and is looking for a sporty car to complement his SUV; however, it needs to be able to handle the weather and occasionally make it up to the ski lodge. He is also looking for something with longevity and has a wide-open budget. What…
