Porsche’s Pictures, Results and Movie from the WEC Six Hours of Mexico
At WEC Mexico 2016, the car which embarked very first, finished very first. With untouchable spectacles, the two Porsche LMP1 machines finished 1-2 thanks to a fruitful qualifying session, superior race rhythm, and greater speed lapping backmarkers at the constrained Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Toyota simply couldn’t keep in touch—though the Porsche …
Porsche Cars North America Sales by Model: August 2017
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA) announced August two thousand seventeen sales today of Four,709 units, down 9.1% compared to August 2016.

The Latest RWB Build from ParkHaus May Give Haters Pause
Polarizing: to break into opposing factions or groupings. That’s how Merriam-Webster defines the word. I can’t think of any other Porsche “customizer” that polarizes our community more than Nakai-San and his Rauh Welt Begriff (RWB) bod kits. From talking with Porsche owners and fans, and we’ve spoken to a lot of them, when it comes to RWB there …
This BF Goodrich 962-Styled Go-Kart is Worth a Look
Getting your palms on a bonafide IMSA-spec nine hundred sixty two will cost a pretty penny, but for those of us not able to come up with the cash required, there’s something which might evoke some of the same emotion the iconic sportscar could for a relative bargain. Well, perhaps that’s an overstatement. However, this kart, which mimics one of the more …
Witness Adam Carolla Hustle His nine hundred thirty five Around Laguna Seca
Anyone familiar with Adam Carolla and his CarCast program know the admiration he has for Paul Newman. A lifelong car enthusiast, Carolla wrote a rather large check last year—for a reported $Four.8M—to purchase a very special 935. However any nine hundred thirty five is worth a mention, this particular example was raced to class victory by his hero at Le Stud’s in 1979. The …

In addition to a fresh aluminum bodyshell, this 3rd generation Cayenne incorporates a …
A LOOK BEHIND THE MAKING OF “1000 WAYS TO FAIL”
This automotive movie is a little different. There are no slider moves, car-to-car movement sequences, or directed scenes. Jeff Gamroth of Rothsport Racing wished a six-minute action-packed film that documented the trials and tribulations a pair of Porsche 911s would face while racing one thousand miles off-road in Mexico. What resulted was Porsche …
Our Dearest Porsches on eBay: Volume 93
We’ve been compiling some amazing Porsche models on eBay for over two years now, and we’ve seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again. Keep in mind, some of these Porsches could be fine collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good. Interested in Having Your Porsche Featured Here Every other …
Porsche’s Pictures and Results In the USCC at VIR
If every race in IMSA was a victory for Porsche, the series would be scrupulously un-interesting. After latest strong spectacles at Lime Rock and Elkhart Lake, the most latest round at VIR resulted in 7th and 8th place finishes for the Porsche GT Team. Because of VIR’s layout, with several very long straights, the Porsche nine hundred eleven RSR’s lower top speed …
Project nine hundred forty four GTS Mini Update: Lights, Hatch Issues and Parts Delays
There are certain difficulties in daily driving an older spectacle car. Some are obvious- the car sits substantially lower than even modern spectacle cars. Ventilation can leave something to be desired. Slow steering racks can make parallel parking a challenge (yes, project nine hundred forty four GTS gets parallel parked a lot, so I am keenly aware of how many …
