The Porsche 997 GT2 is the undoubtedly the king of the 911s, but the crew at SpeedART has decided to add a few more jewels onto the GT2’s crown. Beginning with the overly competent twin-turbocharged flat-six, the German tuning haus modified the stock snails, replaced the headers, fitted a new exhaust with freer flowing cats, […]

There’s probably a few clunkers in DaVinci’s sketchbook, too. Looking more gnarled than Van Gogh’s Potato Eaters hand studies, Ivan Volkov’s Porsche Traveller concept picks up design ideas from the Matchbox Fandango, though it doesn’t look like the spare wheel on the Traveller incorporates Rolamatic action. Rather than heap massive derision on Volkov’s renderings, it […]

When the city of London decided in November 2006 to tax gas-guzzling, emission-spewing vehicles (aka sports cars), we knew someone would put up a fight. It didn’t take long before Porsche, the enthusiast-oriented German automaker, stepped into the ring.

Okay, guys. This isn’t funny anymore. We all get that the Porsche Cayenne, though it has its talents, is no prize pig down at the beauty pageant. But this is just mean. Like a caricature of the Cayenne itself, we can applaud the go but shudder at sight of the show. Under the hood, Gemballa […]

If you’re looking to augment your garage with something more punchy than a Cayenne S, but can’t afford the dilithium crystals required to power the warp engines in the delightfully obscene Cayenne Turbo, Porsche has come up with a new middle ground in the 405-horsepower Cayenne GTS. The V8 in Porsche’s newest SUV is basically […]

It may seem like Rinspeed has been hitting the Absinthe bottle with its recent spate of far reaching concepts, but the Swiss tuner might be looking to another green libation for inspiration of its line of 957 Porsche Cayenne parts.

Squeezing 480 HP from a 3.6L flat-six is an impressive feat, and the latest 911 Turbo does it with a level of sophistication, refinement, and reliability that would have been thought impossible just a few years ago. Everything is relative, though, and “more” is always the operative word when it comes to Porsche’s GT2. So, […]

The introduction of the Porsche Cayman S was met with equal parts reverence and revilement, with many criticizing Porsche’s midship masterpiece as being underpowered despite a chassis that was begging for more oomph. While tuners have been swapping larger engines from the top-of-the-line 911 into the Cayman, its doubtful that Porsche’s pencil pushers would risk […]
