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…

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,…

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:…

Porsches may be expensive, but if you can actually afford to buy one, it’s a pretty safe bet that you’re going to love it. So it’s not terribly surprising that when Consumer Reports released its latest owner satisfaction rankings, Porsche topped the…

If you look hard enough, you can find used Porsche Panameras for under $20,000. Sure, they’ll have a ton of miles and more than likely some mechanical issues. But you’ll be driving a Panamera! You’ll never see a new one for that cheap. Some people…

John just moved to New Jersey from New York City and had the quick realization that one car is not going to cut it for a suburban family. He has a modest budget but wants an SUV on the nicer side that can hold him over for a few years until he can splurge on…

I’m not going to lie: when Porsche unveiled the 911 Dakar at last year’s LA Auto Show — complete with ultra-slick footage of the thing sliding through dirt and kicking up an enviable cloud of dust — I was a little bit underwhelmed. As someone who…

Everything seems to be getting really, really expensive these days, except for Teslas as the company has been slashing prices for its EVs all over the world in recent weeks. But, while Ford clamored to follow Tesla down the price-cutting rabbit hole, German…

The last time a V8 powered a Porsche prototype race car was nearly two decades ago in the RS Spyder that competed in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) LMP2 class. The LMP2 car may have experienced some growing pains at first, but overall it was incredibly…

The rebooted Forza Motorsport was one of the stars of Microsoft’s Xbox Developer Direct on Wednesday afternoon. The Xbox and PC racing sim remains due for release this year — although, suspiciously, the word “spring” appears to have vanished from the…

There’s a lot to unpack about the Porsche Vision 357 concept, but the coolest detail is an unexpected bit of whimsy: cartoon dinosaur stickers on either side of the concept car. It’s a clever nod to the fact that, despite looking all new and futuristic,…

When Porsche announced it was developing an off-road 911, we all knew what to expect. The Safari trend had been rampant, inescapable in Porsche enthusiast circles, and it had long since simmered into a thick, consistent aftermarket sauce: Tall ride height,…

A new year means new off-roaders are on the way, either as models that debuted at the end of last year, or models we’ve known about for a while that are only now gearing up for the trail. Off-road models are arguably as popular as they have been for the last…

General Motors has been building C8 Corvettes for just about three years now. I know, the passage of time is downright insulting. Either way, with the first mid-engine ’Vette fast approaching the halfway point of its lifecycle, we’re not only going to be…
