Slippery when Wet: Porsche Demonstrates New 911 Carrera 4 in Adverse Road Conditions


Even Porsche itself knows that, if it weren’t for its large fan and more importantly, customer base, the 911 would be long gone and replaced by something that adheres to, rather than disregarding, the laws of Physics.

No matter how you put it, letting the engine hanging out behind the rear axle may provide superior traction from a standstill but, when it comes to cornering, it creates a pendulum effect that’s hard to contain.

Porsche Details New 911 GT3 Cup While Displaying it on the Track


Porsche is far from done showing off its most prized version of the 991-generation 911, the all-new GT3 Cup racing model, but if you're expecting to see the car roar through a circuit with no other distractions in this new video, we're sorry to say, you will be disappointed. Read more »

Seventh Son: Porsche Unveils 991-Based GT3 Cup Racer [w/Video]


When you have a brand-new model in your showrooms, it doesn’t really make sense to have participants run your own one-make series with an older generation car. Even more so if you are Porsche and the car in question is the 911 that takes part in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.

Well, that’s stretching the truth a bit: the racers aren’t based on the base 911 Carrera or Carrera S but the hardcore GT3 – hence the GT3 Cup moniker for the model that the company claims is the most successful racing car ever, having sold 2,385 units since 1998.

With the seventh generation 911, code-named 991, been on the roads for more than a year now, it was about time the Stuttgart automaker rolled out its successor. That happened yesterday during the “Night of Champions” event at the brand's R&D center in Weissach.

The all-new 911 GT3 Cup is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six with 453HP (460PS), 10HP more than the 997 GT3 RS-based model it replaces, delivered 1,000 rpm lower, at 7,500. Power is directed to the rear wheels via a six-speed dog-type gearbox developed by Porsche Motorsport that, for the first time in a Porsche Cup car, is operated by paddle shifters.

Porsche Teases 991-Based GT3 Cup Racer, Road-Going 911 GT3 Must Be Close


If there’s one thing we know about Porsche is that, no matter how many SUVs or sporty saloons it may churn out, it will never tinker with the trusted, 50-year old 911 philosophy. Truth be told, it did try to kill it once, back in the 1970s with the 928, but it failed – so it was a lesson it must have learned well.

That recipe isn’t just about maintaining the iconic shape and the flat-six engine hung out behind the rear axle; it’s also about launching a whole bunch of new variants of each generation.

Porsche Boss Confirms 928's Spiritual Successor with Panamera Coupe, Mulls Sedan and Sports Car


When it comes to future models, nothing is written on stone, especially when we are living what the Chinese like to call, "interesting times", as carmakers frequently make new plans and discard old ones, depending on how the economy is doing.

As far as Porsche's future is concerned, the Stuttgart-based company is already in the final development phase of two brand new models, the mid-size Macan crossover and the 918 Spyder hybrid supercar, both of which will launch next year.

Speaking to Autonews Europe, Porsche boss Matthias Mueller talked about the company's plans and the models that are currently under discussion.

Breaking Bad: Warranty Direct Lists the 10 Least Reliable Cars of the Last 15 Years


While we have no problem replacing everyday products such as DVD players and cell phones with new ones once they go bad, if the same thing happens to our car, it's a whole different story, and rightfully so, since automobiles are the second largest investment in most single family households.

Cars tend to be much more complex than most household appliance and face seriously more adverse conditions day-in, day-out. No matter how good the car is or how much carefully you maintain it, at some point, something is bound to go wrong.

Porsche May Halt Weekend Shifts at Zuffenhausen Plant Due to Reduced Demand in Europe


Since September, Porsche’s main plant at Zuffenhausen has been running eight extra shifts in order to satisfy demand for the all-new 911. Yesterday, the carmaker announced that its global sales increased by 24 percent, to 11,688 vehicles, in October.

Demand in the Chinese and U.S. markets has increased by double digits, easily offsetting the 4.5 percent decrease in European sales. As the European debt crisis remains unresolved, though, things may not be as rosy in the near future.

Tuner Mods Porsche 911 Cabriolet with a Central Driving Position


There are many ways to modify a Porsche 911, but to be candid, turning Stuttgart's sports car into a three-seater of sorts featuring a 1+2 seating arrangement with the driver positioned in the center, is something that never really crossed our minds.

Which brings us to this creation named the "Centro 911" built by Nigel Tuckey from Trinity Motorsports in Lima, Ohio.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Given a Serious Power Boost by Wimmer RS


When Porsche introduced the 997-generation 911 GT2 RS in May of 2010, it was not only the most powerful series production 911 ever built, but also the most powerful road going Porsche period.

In factory trim, the €237,578 (about US$310,300 at today's rates) was blessed with a 3.6-liter flat-six engine boosted by two turbochargers with variable turbine geometry allowing for an output of 612hp (620PS) a peak torque of 700Nm (516 lb-ft).

Nevertheless, that wasn't enough for German tuning brand Wimmer RS, which has introduced a special package aimed at any of the 500 owners of the 997 GT2 RS that want to take their car to the next level .
