As we've pointed out before, it's not just electric cars that catch fire. Sometimes gas-fed cars do it without any provocation. While Ferrari is perhaps the best-known brand for the impromptu cookout, it seems Porsche may be having a bit of an issue with its latest 911 GT3 acquiring rather more...

Talk of Porsche launching a second sedan positioned below the Panamera dates back to early 2011. The latest word from Porsche is that adding a seventh model to the lineup makes sense, as it would allow the company to make a major model introduction every year since the typical lifespan of a Porsche...

The news that Porsche's newest take on the hardcore 911, the GT3, would come in PDK-only form was taken a bit hard by some enthusiasts.

While the first Porsche to officially wear the badge was the Type 356 from 1948, the first Ferdinand Porsche design actually hails from much earlier times--a whole half century before the famous four-cylinder, rear-engined 356. Known as the P1--and also by its longer name, the "Egger-Lohner...

Porsche's Cayman is about to get a more hardcore GTS model.

The ‘Targa’ version of the latest 991-series Porsche 911 has just made its world debut, and it’s turned out to be yet another stunner from the Porsche camp. Like previous-generation 911 Targa models, the latest features a fixed roll bar crossing the center section of the car. In...

The current Porsche 911 Turbo S is one hell of a machine. It utilizes its 3.8-liter boxer six-cylinder engine, which produces 560 horsepower, to make the 0-60 mile per hour dash in just 2.9 seconds.
