Porsche is introducing a mid-cycle update across its 911 range and used this week’s Frankfurt Auto Show to unveil the first of the updated cars, which in this case were the entry-level Carrera and Carrera S. The next one to arrive will be the high-performance Turbo, prototypes for which...

The 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show is in full swing, and it is where Porsche is showing its updated 911 Carrera models for the first time. Porsche die-hards may recall that it was in Frankfurt four years ago that we first saw the 991-series introduced, and at this year's show the updated 991.2-series is...

Next spring, Porsche will be selling a turbocharged Carrera for the first time in the 911’s 50-year history. It’s a bold move, perhaps one even more controversial than the decision to drop the 911’s air-cooled engines back in the 1990s, but in terms of performance numbers...

The current Porsche 911, the Type 991, made its debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show and hit the market shortly after as a 2012 model. This means we’re approaching the halfway point in the car’s life cycle, and right on cue prototypes for an updated version, the Type 991.2, have been...

One of the cool bits about the McLaren F1, besides its tremendous performance capability, is the fact that the driver sits in the center of the car. There's the main seat in the middle, then two rear seats behind the driver's left and right shoulders. This puts you in the center of the action, and...

Just days after a completely undisguised version of Porsche’s updated 911 Carrera, the Type 991.2, was spotted tested on the Nürburgring, some of the official specs have surfaced in German media. The leaked specs confirm the updated 911 Carrera models will adopt smaller, turbocharged...

If you're a Porsche fan, you know that the 911 has evolved from its start in 1963 through to the version that we know and love today. You can probably also spout off the various generational names. If you're not up on your 911 love, however, you might think that the car has pretty much remained the...

You already know what Singer does. They take older model Porsche 911s and make them works of automotive art. Up until now, the company had stuck to re-imagining coupes. That's all changed because the first 911 Targa has received the reimagining process, and the results are absolutely wonderful...

A Porsche 911 Turbo originally owned by Steve McQueen is headed to auction. The Porsche, said to be the last special-order 911 McQueen ever bought, is an original 1976 930 finished in Slate Gray. The early production example, not unlike the very first 911 Turbo, is powered by a turbocharged...

Growing up, I knew that the Porsche 911 was a good car. I never quite fell in love with it in the same way that other automotive enthusiasts did. For some reason, it never tugged at my heart strings enough to make me go in and memorize all of the variations and generational code names like the...

Thanks to the likes of Magnus Walker and Singer, owning and restoring a classic Porsche 911 has never been more popular. Another reason is that Porsche, through its own classic car department Porsche Classic, is making it easier for fans to find all the necessary parts for their project builds...

We’ve already pointed out what separates the latest 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS from the standard Carrera, but here’s a great visual representation direct from the German sports car marque. It shows the new Carrera GTS being put through its paces at the Porsche Experience Center at...

Chris Harris has joined the likes of racing driver Brendon Hartley and actor George Clooney to be among the first to have driven the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Fortunately for us, Harris was kind enough to put together a video of his day behind the wheel of Stuttgart’s latest track special for...

Porsche’s race car lineup based on the latest 991-series 911 is complete following this weekend’s introduction of the all-new 911 GT3 R, which sits between the 911 GT3 Cup and 911 RSR in Porsche’s 911 race car hierarchy. The latest model made its debut on the eve of the 2015...

George Clooney, who celebrates his 54th birthday on Wednesday, and the first with new wife Amal, is reportedly getting a Porsche 911 GT3 RS as a present. The actor’s penchant for fine autos—and motorcycles—is well known, so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that someone...

Singer Vehicle Design is the team behind those gorgeous Porsche cars that you've been drooling over the last few years. They take an older 911 and, in their words and those of the Porsche Legal Department, re-imagine the car into something a bit... more. It has more performance, more minute...

A sports car can do wonderful things to the brain. Similarly, we'd have to believe that a fighter jet elicits the same sort of feelings, but punched up a number of notches. That's what Porsche believes too. The automaker enlisted the help of a jet, a pilot, a GT3, a scientist, and one lucky guinea...

It appears reports of the Porsche 911 GT2’s demise have been greatly exaggerated, as a senior executive at the German sports car manufacturer has confirmed that a new one is in fact in the works. The information comes from Andreas Preuninger, the man in charge of development of...
