Evil. Fantastic. Both. That doesn't describe the 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S, but the members-only track at Bilster Berg Drive Resort near Bad Driburg, Germany. It's the most fun we've found in a closed circuit this year. And the 911 Turbo and Turbo S make it look easy. Well, not quite easy...

Porsche’s new GT3 based on the latest 991 generation of its iconic 911 sports car is starting to make its way onto local roads, so we thought it an opportune time to see what the car’s chief engineer, Andreas Preuninger, thinks of his new baby. For him, and we’re sure for many of...

Stefan Bellof is one of the biggest names from a golden era of GT racing, when incredibly light and stunningly powerful cars were driven by now legendary names such as Derek Bell, Jacky Ickx and Hans-Joachim Stuck. Sadly, Bellof was killed in a sports car racing accident at Spa in 1985, but a...

Some Porsche Carrera GT owners are probably quite familiar with the word "NO". Usually preceded by "OH" and suffixed by several exclamation marks and a few expletives as their V-10 supercar goes into an uncontrollable spin. Porsche might be elbows-deep in development of its 918 Spyder--successor to...

Raw performance wrapped in beauty and driven by an environmentally-conscious flair, the Porsche 918 Spyder--along with the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari--is possibly the archetypal expression of the supercar for the future. In development for the past several years, the car is just weeks away...

Porsche is presenting two very special vehicles at the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance taking place this weekend, the 918 Spyder, which the automaker just tweeted a photo of and confirmed was the final production specification, and the recently revealed 911 50th Anniversary Edition...

The suggestions of Porsche fans all around the globe helped with the design of this special 911 Carrera 4S.

Porsche is a smart company. They build cars that cater to both their most hardcore fans as well as the folks that buy the cars which allow Porsche to build the cars for the purists. Porsche is also keeping an eye on the future, and that future includes vehicles aided by the use of electric...

The 2014 Porsche Macan is on track for a world debut at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show in November but it will soon be followed by more potent variants like a Macan Turbo, a prototype for which has been spotted with barely any camouflage gear. We know it's a prototype for the Macan Turbo due to the...

Last Sunday saw a total of 1,208 Porsche 911s of all varieties descend upon the Silverstone race track in England and in the process set a new Guinness World Record. The gathering was part of Porsche’s 50th anniversary celebration for the 911 this year. Porsche was hoping to amass just 911...

So, you own a 1972 Porsche 917/10--good for about 1,000 horsepower and a championship-winning Can-Am race car--what better to do than take it for a little drive around town? That is, as long as you're a fan of being bumper-high to a MINI and putting $6 million dollars in the hands of the general...

Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout--APEAL--is how J.D. Power measures the 'gratification' a car owner experiences with each new model on the market. For automakers, the vehicles that are the most gratifying, those with the highest APEAL, tend to remain on dealer lots for shorter periods...

With nimble handling, quick acceleration, and sharp new looks, even the base 991 Porsche 911 is a sports car aficionado's joy. We fully expect the 2014 911 Turbo S to border on mind-blowing. The coupe version of the 2014 911 Turbo S was recently revealed alongside its standard (non-S) Turbo...

We've landed firmly on the side of the technologists when it comes to the latest generation of the Porsche 911, including the dual-clutch-only GT3. But that doesn't mean we don't appreciate a good classic sports car experience. In fact, we treasure our time behind the wheels of cars like the 1988...

Porsche’s 918 Spyder, now with an output of 887 horsepower and 940 pound-feet of torque, made its dynamic debut over the weekend at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, providing a fascinating insight to the performance potential of its advanced hybrid drivetrain. The car’s...

The 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed is officially underway and as in every year a massive sculpture has been unveiled on the grounds of Goodwood House. This year the sculpture has been designed to mark the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911 and as such the iconic sports car has been incorporated...

Today we said goodbye to the M3 coupe with a look at the last one ever to be made--or as it seems, with the new 4-Series to gain an M4. But for the Porsche Cayenne, it's a production milestone of continuance, reaching the 500,000th example produced at Porsche's Leipzig plant. This isn't the first...

Time travel is, perhaps unexpectedly, enlightening. Reading of the conditions and actors of the past provides only a dusty image, rendered in grayscale; dunking oneself fully in the scene teaches lessons that cannot otherwise be learned. Thus I recount for you my recent sojourn to the early 21st...

Last weekend’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, as devastating as it was, proved to be an almost fairy tale-like event for the Porsche works squad, which made its official return to the legendary race after a 15-year hiatus. After trailing Aston Martin in the GTE category, both in the Pro and Am classes...

Jeff Zwart is a man who knows his way around the Pikes Peak Hillclimb. Zwart has won the event seven times, and he holds the street car record for making the run up the mountain. He has made the trip in both a Porsche 911 GT2 and a 911 GT3. Now, for the 2013 run taking place this weekend, he's...
