The flat engine dates back to 1897 and was originally patented by Karl Benz

Porsche is one of only two car manufacturers to still produce and develop boxer engine

The other car company is Subaru, which even had six-cylinder boxer engines at one point

Most prominently, the EG33 engine, featured in the Subaru SVX sports-luxury coupe

Subaru has decided to stick to flat-four engines for downsizing pruposes

Meanwhile, Hans Mezger was responsible for many of Porsche's greatest boxer engines

The Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 was the last Porsche to feature a Mezger-designed engine

Boxer engines differ from other flat engines due to the number of crankshaft journals

Boxer engines have individual crank pins for each piston while traditional flat engines have one for each pair of pistons

In a boxer engines, every pair of opposing pistons mirror each other's movements, resulting in smoother operation

Boxer engines transmit power more directly to the transmission, making for less powertrain loss

They are also easier on fuel compared to a conventional design, making them perfect for hybrid setups

However, they are also more expensive to service due to often being a tight fit in the engine bay

In a crash, a flat/ boxer engine's lower center of gravity makes it safer as it is more likely to go under the passenger cabin

The Porsche Macan EV starts at $75,300, still holding the title of the most affordable Porsche

Rear-wheel steering is standard only on some Macan trims - 4 and Turbo

Porsche's rear axle steering goes hand-in-hand with Porsche's Active Suspension Management (PASM)

Porsche rear-axle steering first appeared on the 2013 Porsche 918 Spyder

But it became more prominent in Porsche models after the 991 GT3

Actually, Porsche started developing a rear-wheel steering system in the 1970s, for the Porsche 928

The Macan EV and other modern-day Porsches feature a more sophisticated setup

Porsche's rear-axle steering is electro-mechanical and only adds about 22 lbs

Depending on the speed and conditions, the rear wheels turn opposite or in the same direction as the front ones

Porsdhe's rer-axle steering can reduce a car's turning circle by 600 mm - over 23.6 inches

The first Porsche 928 resto-mod has been concieved by French company, Nardone

Over 3,000 parts have been redesigned and thoroughly scanned to make the perfect, modern-day Porsche 928

The Nardone Porsche 928 is 60 mm wider than the original car

While the Nardone 928 concept car features a fiberglass body, production cars will come with carbon-fiber

Unlike the concept car, the production Nardone Porsche 928 will also have functional vents and an integrated flash function in the lower-apron vents

Nardone has even implemented Porsche's current, 4-point LED design

The rear end now features an uninterrupted LED strip

The only original 928 parts that remain are the aluminum doors

Instead of a rear hatchback, only the rear windshield will open

The original 5.0-liter V-8 is completely revised and packs 400 hp

Nardone is working on more powerful variants and even a flat-plane V-8

The gearbox is now a 6-speed manual transaxle

Vast customization options ensure no two Nardone 928s will be the same

The first 8 cars are "Launch Edition" models and will be packed with all possible options

Swipe up for more information on how the production of Porsche 928 by Nardone differs from the concept.

This Is The Only Example Of The Singer All-Terrain Competition Study (ACS) In Existence, Initially Released In 2021

The Singer ACS Was Reasearched And Developed For A Private Individual By Singer and Tuthill Porsche UK

It Was Based On Air-Cooled 964 Porsche 911 And Came With A 3.6-L Flat-Six Engine With An Output Of 405 HP

It Also Came With Portal Axle Off-Road Suspension

The Original Plan Was For Singer To Build More Based On The Initial Prototypes

However, Porsche's Legal Team Objected To The Use Of The Brand Name And Crest On The ACS

However, Porsche's Legal Team Objected To The Use Of The Brand Name And Crest On The ACS

Incidentally Porsche Was Developing The 911 Dakar At The Same TIme

Overnight All Traces Of The ACS Was Removed From All Of Singer's Media Channels

Only 2 Prototypes Of The ACS Were Made

It Is Currently On Sale At Joe Macari London, in the U.K.

It Has Completely Built Interior With A Full Roll Cage, Bucket Seats, And Racing GPS

Price Is On Request, But Expect It To Fetch Seven Figures, Considering It Cost Several Million To Research And Develop

Renowned Porsche specialist and racing team, 901shop built this faithful homage to the 1973 RSR

The original 911 RSR dates back to 1973. Of the 1,508 built, just 55 were RSR 2.8 race cars

This Porsche 911 Carrera RSR replica is built upon a 1970 model and has everything needed for Group 5 racing

The car comes with a freshly rebuilt engine and transmission, done by renowned Porsche gurus

Like the original RSR, this one comes with a 3.0-liter, air-cooled flat-6

The Porsche 911 Carrera RSR engine dates back to one of Hans Mezger's original engine designs

With 310 horsepower on tap, the 911 RSR can hit 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, on to a top speed of 168 mph

The 911 RSR replica is fully race-ready and comes with many additional features, including a duck tail bill, in addition to the Whale tail

Like Porsche's early 911 race cars, this one is based on the regular 911, not the 2.7 Carrera RS

Race-ready RSR tribute cars like this one are over 10 times more affordable than an original 911 Carrera RSR

We envision a cross between the Taycan and Cayenne models to be a Porsche van

VW, currently, has the I.D. Buzz, but it is too small to serve as a base for a Porsche van

The Taycan's J1 platform would be the perfect candidate to underpin a Porsche van

Taycan front fascia hints at the Porsche van being fully-electric

Cayenne design traits neatly fit the rear-end design of the hypothetical Porsche van

A more aggressively-styled design hints at a high-performance Porsche van

Mercedes did something similar with the R-Class, but it wasn't a sales hit

This is not the first time that Porsche has made a vam. In the 1980s, Porsche modified a VW T3 Bus, that featured a 911 flat-six

The VW I.D Buzz is only one reason why a Porsche van would, likely, never happen now

Swipe up for more information on Porsche's history with vans and why we probably won't see one, ever

The 718 Cayman GT4 RS is the most track-focused variant of Porsche's mid-engine sports car

It is also the only Porsche 718 to share an engine with the 911

The 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-6 comes from the Porsche 992 GT3 and revs to 9,000 RPM while making 493 hp and 331 lb-ft

The Cayman GT4 RS features numerous chassis upgrades, including the entire front-body section of a 991 Carrera 4

One unique feature of the GT RS is the dual air intake. Standard Cayman 718s feature only lower air vents

Together with the carbon-fiber air-box, directly behind the driver, the air intakes make for an epic soundtrack

With the Weisach package, the Cayman GT4 RS gets more pronounced air intakes. In theory, slightly more horsepower too

Porsche says the Cayan GT4 RS makes 10 fewer ponies than the 911 GT3 thanks to a longer exhaust tract

But it still manages a 3.2-second 0-60 mph time, on its way to a top speed of 196 mph

This is thanks to revised aerodynamics and more extensive use of carbon fiber, keeping weight at 3,227 lbs

The Speedster is one of the purest body styles of the Porsche 911

The Speedster was always meant to be a lightweight, open-top cruiser

The Speedster body style was introduced with the Porsche 356 back in 1948

The most distinctive feature of the Porsche Speedster is the steeply raked windshield and lack of convertible top

While the Speedster has existed across several generations of the 911, the 993 was not one of them

Officially, there was never a production variant of the 993 Speedster

But in 1995, Porsche built one for "Butzi" Porsche's 50th birthday

"Butzi" 993 Speedster was the only one that started life as a Speedster under Porsche

The only "true" 993 Speedster features a narrow body

The car's exterior is finished in Aventura Green

The 17-inch silver Carrera wheels complement the exterior paint

Inside, you get an RS interior with walnut finishes on the dash

At its heart lies a 3.6-liter flat-6, making 285 hp and 251 lb-ft

It was paired to a Tiptronic automatic transmission

To make the 993 Speedster, Porsche used parts from the 964 Speedster, of which 936 were built

A few other 993 Speedster conversions were done over the years, like Jerry Seinfeld's car, which started as a Carrera 4S Cabriolet

But "Butzi" Porsche's Aventura Green car remains the only 993 built as a Speedster from brand-new

Kalmar is a Danish company that specializes in reimagined, classic 911s

The 7-97 E-Volt is Kalmar's fourth project and the first EV car

The flat-6 makes room for a Tesla Model S powertrain with 414 hp and 442 lb-ft

Thanks to lightweight materials, the 7-97 E-Volt is barely heavier than the 964 Carrera donor car

The 0-60 mph time is comparable to a 992.2 Carrera, at around 3.8 seconds

Everything about the Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt is about sustainability and low emissions

The aerodynamically-optimize body is inspired by the 1967 Porsche 911 R

The charging port is tucked away behind the rear license plate

The 7-97 E-Volt scores subtle modernities like LED headlights

Despite being electric, it comes with a physical key

An analog charge meter replaces the rev-counter

Leather and semi-aniline materials line up the old-school interior

It comes with a shifter, resembling modern-day PDK-equipped Porsches

Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt shows us what an EV 911 could be like

Both the 911 Dakar and the Singer ACS are Porsche sportscars that work off-road

Singer beat Porsche to the off-road sports car game by introducing the ACS in 2021

The Porsche 911 Dakar was introduced in November 2022

Like all Singer cars, the ACS is based on a Porsche 964

Porsche 911 Dakar is based on the 992.1 Carrera 4 GTS

ACS stands for All-terrain, Competition Study

Singer ACS features two 5-way adjustable dampers per wheel and 265 mm of suspension travel

In its max-ride height setting, the 992 Dakar features up to 80 mm more ground clearance than the standard 911 GTS

The 911 Dakar's 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-6 is good for 473 hp and 420 lb-ft

Singer ACS is powered by a Porsche-build, air-cooled boxer of the Mezger design

You can adjust the power of the Singer ACS between 450 and 600 horsepower

The 911's Dakar-inspired livery pays hommage to the 1984 original, Porsche 953 Dakar

Both Singer ACS and Porsche 992 Dakar feature roof-mounted racks for additional equipment

The Singer ACS is more hardcore than the 992 Dakar, with a stripped-down, rally-spec interior

The 911 Dakar features a lot more creature comforts and is essentially a well-spec'd 992 cabin

Production of the Porsche 911 Dakar was limited to 2,500 units

Only 2 Singer ACS prototypes were developed... for now

2023 Porsche 911 Dakar cost $223,450

While the Singer ACS is north of $1.0 million

Sadly, Singer had to go back to the drawing board due to legal issues with Porsche
