  • 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 race car

    Only a month ago we saw two of the rarest cars in the world being put up for auction - including a 1967 Ferrari 330 P4, as well as a 1965 Shelby Daytona Coupe that was expected to sell for between $10 million and $15 million. Potential buyers will now also be able to bid on a handful of other rare cars, including the 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6, a car that took part in the Targa Florio and won its class in the Le Man 24-hour race. The auction is taking place on May 23 at the Brands Hatch motor racing circuit in the UK, and the ultra-rare Porsche is expected to reach prices of close to...

  • 2010 Porsche 911 GT3

    Laying claim to the title of the fastest run around the Nurburgring's Nordschleife is one of the most coveted titles among the performance elite carmakers. The latest development from Germany has Porsche claiming a 7 minute 40 second unofficial time during an open test day at the hands of the legendary Walter Rohrl. Porsche and Nissan's duel over the matter has taken on particular fury, with Porsche accusing Nissan of falsifying times, and continuing to insist that the GT-R isn't capable of anything faster than a 7:54 lap without cheating. Even a borrowed Ferrari 430 Scuderia couldn't muster...

    Gemballa takes wraps off Porsche Cayenne Turbo-based Tornado 750 GTS

    The high-performance SUV is something of an oxymoron at first blush, but anyone that's taken the wheel of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo or Mercedes Benz ML-Class AMG knows it's possible. Gemballa takes the concept to the next level, dropping over 550lb (250kg) from the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and boosting...

  • 1969 Porsche 914
    Porsche celebrates 40th anniversary of the 914

    It was a quiet day in 1969 when Porsche first had the idea to build a low-cost mid-engined sports car, something that could sit below the famous 911 but still be sporty enough for discerning drivers. It was this simple idea that led to the creation of two cars that helped push Porsche to become the...

  • 2011 Porsche 911 spy shots

    The current 997 Porsche 911 is still being updated for its mid-cycle refresh, with only the standard Carrera, Carrera 4, and Targa, and GT3 receiving the update. Still in the works are the new Turbo and the GT2 models, though they too are drawing near to their expected unveiling. Last year a test mule was spotted in Germany by our spy photographers, confirming that Porsche engineers are already well underway testing the next-generation 998 model, and soon after that Porsche's chief of research and development, Wolfgang Dürheimer, revealed some details of what to expect for the next-gen 911...

  • 2009 volkswagen bluesport roadster concept 019

    Looking back on some of the cars that made sport driving great, and built the legend that has become today's Porsche, you'd wonder how we ever got to 3,500lb, 500hp twin-turbo monsters. The 356 Speedster, for example - considered by many to be one of the first modern sports cars - weighed a mere 1,670lb (760kg) and managed just 40hp (30kW) in some guises. A return to those motoring roots is thought to be in the works at Porsche, and the latest reports peg the arrival date at sometime in 2013, says Auto Zeitung. Work on the next-generation Boxster and what has been thought of as a 914 revival...
