Le Mans has a long history of attracting great cars, drivers, and manufacturers. This year, as last, many OEMs will compete for overall race victory, including Cadillac, Porsche, Ferrari, Toyota, Peugeot, BMW, Alpine, Lamborghini, and Isotta Fraschini. Porsche…

I don’t really find joy in cleaning my own cars. It’s an annoying mess that always takes way longer than I think it is going to, and the results are never as good as I hope. While I’m perfectly fine taking my cars through a drive-through car wash, I do…

If you had to boil down the 1980s south Florida ethos into an automobile, it almost certainly would look something like this 1987 Gemballa Avalanche. Based on Porsche’s iconic “930” 911 Turbo, it’s already a lesson in excess, but once you’ve tacked…

Porsche has been using electric power boosting technology in its racing and road cars for longer than anyone on earth has been alive. Technically the Porsche name has been associated with hybrid power for longer than the Porsche company has existed. After…

After years of racing, testing and teasing — and having sold hundreds of thousands of hybrid and electric versions of other models — Porsche’s first production 911 hybrid is here. Introduced as part of the 992 generation’s facelift for 2025, the…

Owning a former fleet vehicle always carries some amount of risk. You never know how hard they were driven, how well they were maintained, or what conditions they’ve seen through their life. Sometimes, though, the car in question is just too good to pass up…

Your forever car. The one car that you’d want to carry you through the ups and downs of a human live. It would have to be a special machine. Read more...

Jaguar’s iconic E-Type sports car was derived from the three-time Le Mans-winning D-Type racing car, and in the later 1960s turned into a fairly successful racing car in its own right. It was, and remains, one of the most beautiful cars ever to set wheel to…

Speed is relative. Some people think taking 6 seconds to hit 60 mph is fast, and others will scoff at anything that takes more than half that time to reach the 60-mph mark. Learning about the quickest cars on the market is an easy task, with tons lists…

According to the ad, the present owner of today’s Nice Price or No Dice 911 bought it for their son, who, unfathomably, didn’t like it. That’s why it’s now on the market. Let’s see if we can be a bit more appreciative. Read more...

The ubiquitous 0-to-60 test has become a standardized measure of a vehicle’s performance chops among industry pros and car meet aficionados, but that singular measurement doesn’t paint the full picture of a car’s character. On the road and even on the…

When Tesla showed the Cybertruck beating a Porsche 911 down a dragstrip while towing another Porsche 911, everyone who knew anything about cars was a bit, well, skeptical. As more information came out and YouTubers did deep dives on whether or not the results…

This all-white wonder you’re looking at here is the second-most rare variant that Porsche has ever built. While it looks like any other 911 to the layperson, this is a motorsport-division-built rally racer from 1984. With some extreme weight savings…

Porsche likes to make a big stink about the fact that Ferdinand Porsche developed the world’s first hybrid drive car, the Lohner Porsche Semper Vivus, around 125 years ago. Back in 2010 the company raced a hybrid-drive 911 GT3 R, and shortly after released…

Unlike many later editions that share engines with VWs and Audis, today’s Nice Price or No Dice Cayenne carries true Porsche power under its hood. Let’s find out what such brand purity might be worth. Read more...

For twenty years Porsche’s 911 GT3 RS models have been held as a benchmark when it comes to street-legal versions of racing cars. Each generation somehow finds a way to go faster around a race track. Aero, power, tires, suspension, and tech adjustments keep…

A brand-new, base-model Porsche 718 Boxster may cost more than $70,000, but the biggest downside isn’t the price. It’s driving one and realizing that it’s absolutely worth the money and that you can no longer tell yourself it’s overhyped and…

Car purchases are rarely rational, and nobody understood that more than Austrian business magnate and Porsche heir Ferdinand Piëch. In his 50-plus years in the automotive industry, his main motivating factor was building cool shit and taking it racing, often…

Some of the coolest and weirdest cars from the late-1900s are up for auction right now, but I can promise you won’t find a good deal among them. Multi-hyphenate music star Pharrell Williams started an auction company recently, called Joopiter, and has teamed…

There are tuner cars, and then there are tuner cars built on the bones of 1980s Italian supercars. The Reagan deficit spending boom from ‘82 to ‘87 saw scores of newly-minted yuppie millionaires looking for ways to shovel their windfall gains into the…
