Following the most recent round of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season at Virginia International Raceway, the Rennsport One team packed the truck full of four Porsche race cars, and all the associated gear, and headed back to their South Florida race…

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N was a revelation. Obviously, with more than 600 horsepower, it was going to be quick, but it ended up being so much more than that. It’s an absolute blast to drive, and a big part of that is because it will trick you with fake shifts.…

It turns out there’s a lot of different cars that people are not only passionate about, but passionate enough about to defend them over hate they feel is underserved. Last week we asked readers what cars they thought don’t deserve the hate they get. These…

When I first laid eyes on my 996 Turbo two years ago today, it was in a bit of a sad state. This car has lived a hard life of 90,000 miles, serving as a demo car for a drift racer, and a friend’s track day machine for years after that. By the time I’d…

When I first got into Porsche’s smallest offering, the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, I was immediately taken aback by how old it felt. A seven-inch infotainment, dozens of buttons, mostly-analog gauges and wired-only Apple CarPlay transport you back to a time that…

Another Monterrey Car Week has come and gone, along with the fantastic array of classic vehicles and futuristic concepts strutting their stuff on the golf course green by the sea. Many car enthusiasts dream of attending such a lush event, though few think…

I dislike car dealers just as much as most Americans, but I’m also a big proponent of personal responsibility and financial literacy when buying a car. Blindly signing on the dotted line can get you into a life-changing situation. Take the ordeal one Ford…

Porsche didn’t invent the word “Speedster” as it existed in the pre-war American motor car lexicon, well before Porsche existed. At this point, however, Porsche has pretty much owned the term since the 1950s after importer Max Hoffman slapped the name on…

The mystery has been solved, we finally know what that weird Porsche 911 GT1-ish car spotted at LAX last week is. It’s Tuthill’s new GT One limited-edition road car. Only 22 of these machines will be built, and buyers can choose between a screaming…

Some cars just have absurdly long names. It would be far too simple for a car to just be called by a single name with maybe an optional trim level. No, that would preclude manufacturers from offering higher tiers and more exclusive versions of its cars. There…

Porsche has been practically synonymous with turbochargers since the early 1970s. The 911 Turbo has been an icon of speed and performance for fifty years. Porsche is honoring that history with a new special edition 911 Turbo 50 Years. This is more or less an…

When Porsche was originally developing the first-generation Cayenne, the luxury SUV segment was still pretty new, so it wasn’t entirely clear what customers would expect from Porsche’s first entry. As a result, early Cayennes were much more off-road…

Nostalgia is all the rage right now in the car world, and especially nostalgia for the 1990s era of driver-focused simplicity. No auto company leverages its history to better effect than Porsche, and that sentiment extends to the legion of Porsche modification…

Jordan finally got the go-ahead to upgrade his 2014 Chevy Cruze to something with a bit more performance that he can enjoy the occasional track day with. This ride does need a usable rear seat, but other parameters are generally wide open. What car should he…

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman as we know them aren’t long for this world. Next year, the fourth generation of Porsche’s compact sports car will be revealed, and it will only be available as a fully electric vehicle. The current internal combustion 982…

Porsche has been leaning in to the overlanding trend for a few years now, releasing plenty of aftersales components to help make a Cayenne (or a 911) look a bit tougher and go a little bit farther off road, including launching a rooftop tent a few years ago.…

I have broken my fair share of windshields. I’ve cracked them in the process of removing them from cars, I’ve cracked them tripping and falling, and I’ve even cracked them from inside by moving a seat forward with too much gusto. But I’ve never walked…

Generally speaking, cars get larger every time they’re redesigned. Rarely do you ever see a car get smaller, and in a mainstream crossover, that’s understandable. When it comes to sports cars, though, more size usually means more weight, and that extra…

Ex-Porsche lawyer Katarina Jovanovic has been convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to more than seven years in prison after they dropped their newborn baby from a window. The executive claimed to not know they were pregnant and feared that having the baby…
