  • 2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo Executive

    It’s cliche to call the Panamera a four-door 911, but in truth, that’s the most accurate one-liner to peg the car’s nature. Pushed hard, very few other sport sedans really keep up—or prove so willing to run hard. Left to the casual cruising even a 911 is more likely to do most of its life, the Panamera adds a layer of comfort, space, and refinement that even the very polished 911 can’t match. This unlikely and inimitable blend of sport, size, and sophistication is the reason the 2014 Porsche Panamera is a nominee for our Best Car To Buy 2014 award. From the base...

    Porsche Cares About Your Hair, Patents Seat-Mounted Wind Deflectors

    The simple pleasure of throwing the top down on a convertible and going for a drive is one that everyone with a license should experience. The sights, the sounds, the sun on your face, and the wind whipping your carefully-styled locks into a tangled psychotic frenzy of hair...ah yes, not everyone...

  • Sean Edwards

    British racing driver Sean Edwards, son of 1970s Formula One driver Guy Edwards, died earlier today in an accident that took place during a driver training course on a race track near the Australian city of Brisbane. Edwards, 26, was in the passenger seat of a Type 996 Porsche 911 when its 20-year-old driver allegedly lost control, sending the car into a nearby barrier. The car burst into flames, with the two occupants trapped inside. The driver of the Porsche, a Brisbane local, was pulled out of the wreckage and remains in hospital with severe injuries. Edwards is believed to have died upon...

    The Porsche 911 Turbo has always been a fast car. Of course, it's gotten faster as the years go on and technology allows it to bridge new performance chasms. The latest and greatest is the 2014 911 Turbo S, which Porsche claims will hit 198 miles per hour at the top end. That's all well and good...

  • Seven generations of the 911 join to play a song
    Seven Porsche 911s, 42 Cylinders, One Song: Video

    This is what it sounds like when all seven generations of the Porsche 911 join forces to play their flat-six song. It's beautiful. Accompanied by the screeching of tires and little else, the seven 911s storm around an empty warehouse, sliding and spinning, creating their own jazz symphony. Then...

  • 991 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet in motion

    While $194,850 is undeniably a lot of money, it also buys you a lot of car: the new 991 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet. We fully expect it to be every bit as good as the hardtop version we drove in Germany last month, with the added benefit of a folding cloth roof. Here, we get to see the car in motion, as it flies along a deserted stretch of two-lane spanning coast, desert, and mountains. Sadly, most of the car's turbo-six engine note is overridden by typically Germanic music, but the sights make up for the loss of sound. To see the top in motion as it opens and closes, be sure to watch around...

  • Porsche 918 Spyder

    The Porsche 918 Spyder deserves the credit for forging the hybrid supercar territory trodden by the likes of Ferrari and McLaren, even if the car's venture to market has been a long one. But that lag time between concept and production has allowed Porsche to attain some pretty spectacular achievements, one of which is the production car lap record for the Nürburgring. During final testing for the 918 Spyder, which made its public debut this week at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, Porsche factory racing driver Marc Lieb managed to set a blistering 6:57 lap time for the full...
