PTS+Weissach: This Ultra-Low Miles Porsche 718 Spyder RS Is Up For Grabs
With just 31 miles on the clock, and some extremely desirable options this 718 Spyder RS is a collector car in the making
The weather may not be cooperating at Porsche West Palm Beach, but that doesn’t dampen the excitement surrounding a very special arrival: they say pre-owned but this is a practically brand new Porsche 718 Spyder RS and it comes with the much desired optional Weissach Package. Now this is far from your average Porsche convertible because what you’re looking at folks is the most powerful open-top mid-engine Porsche.
Instantly Add Value To Your 996 Cabriolet With This Speedster Transformation
Where real Speedsters cost hundreds of thousands if not millions, this inexpensive solution can help you 996 Cab achieve that look at a fraction of the cost
The Speedster is one of the purest forms of the 911 and the nameplate actually dates back to the early ‘50s when Porsche sold the likes of the 550 and 356 Speedsters. While the Speedster body style is all about open-top motoring, it does have a few stand-out elements that set it apart from Cabriolets and Targa models. The Speedster is known for its stripped-down design and lightweight body, often featuring a smaller windshield, no rear seats, a distinctive double-hump on the rear deck lid, and a tonneau cover instead of a full roof.
Bizzare Porsche 944 6x6 Targa Pickup Was Someone's 26-Year Project Car
A 944 unlike anything else out there, this one-off creation that took 2,500 man hours to complete, can now be yours
When you hear the word Porsche, a truck is probably the last thing that comes to mind. But that’s exactly what we have here. A custom Targa pickup based on a 1987 Porsche 944 coupe. Currently based in Germany, this strange creation is now up for sale on Elfersport, and here’s what you need to know about it.
Porsche Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid GT Package: Running Shoes For Porsche's Heavy Hybrid SUV
As the new range-topping Cayenne is slower than the outgoing model, can the GT Package infuse much-needed athleticism?
About 20 years ago, Porsche raised a few eyebrows by introducing its first SUV – the Cayenne. This exercise paid off big time since this high-riding Porsche is widely viewed as the model responsible for saving the German automaker from bankruptcy. Fast-forward to 2024 and the two best-selling Porsche models are still SUVs, i.e. the Cayenne and its smaller sibling, the Macan. The Cayenne was recently updated, but its range-topping Turbo E Hybrid model seems a bit puzzling to me.
Billionaire's Ride Can Now Be Yours: 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet Modified By RUF
Featuring bespoke touches and performance enhancements, here's why this stealthy 997.1 Cab is worth the premium
For many, the 997-generation 911 is the last old-school Porsche. Essentially, an evolution of the controversial 996, the 997 (eventually) fixed all of the 996’s problems while exploiting the chassis to its full potential. It is the 997 generation that spawned some of the most iconic Porsche 911 variants. While the example featured here is one of the more mainstream versions of the rear-engine sports car, it has been tastefully modified. Now I know that adding forced induction to a naturally aspirated Carrera is not that uncommon, and many owners are opting for it, especially with tuners like RUF offering specially developed kits that enhance performance.
Porsche 911 S/T: The 911 Of The Decade
Beyond paying homage to 60 years of the iconic German sports car, the S/T packs some truly unique attributes that make it the ultimate purist's 911
What is the definition of a true sports car? Well, to me at least, it means a car that looks sharp, offers decent performance, handles right, and, most importantly, is lightweight. The 911 S/T, introduced in the third quarter of 2023, fits that narrative perfectly and takes inspiration from the classic 911 S/T lightweight competition package sold between 1969 and 1972. Commemorating the 60th anniversary of the iconic German sports car, the S/T sits at the top of the current 911 lineup and only 1963 examples will be built, a nod to the year that the original 911 launched. But sitting at the higher end of the price spectrum, Porsche has done something unique here. Beyond the cosmetic elements, the S/T combines some truly desirable bits from various 911s. Porsche has, in my opinion inadvertently created the ultimate 911 of the decade with the S/T. A bold claim I know, especially when you have some truly astonishing models come out over the past 10 years, like the 911 R from the 991 generation and more recently, other limited-run models like the 911 Sport Classic and the 911 Dakar from the 992 generation. Priced at $290,000, the S/T also costs supercar money. So how do I justify this bold claim? Let’s find out.
The Crew Motorfest Will Soon Let You Savor The Porsche 919 Street In The Virtual World
What was once destined to successor to the 918 Spyder, can soon be experienced in the popular racing game
Ah!! Porsche and online racing, while I may not be much of a gamer these days, this is an experience that goes back decades for me. My PC gaming journey began with the legendary NFS: Porsche Unleashed back in 2000. That game got me hooked, even leading me to compete professionally! So, when Ubisoft unveiled the Porsche 919 Street tearing up the tarmac in The Crew Motorfest’s latest trailer, I was undoubtedly curious to learn more. (Mark your calendars: Crew Motorfest Year 2 update kicks off November 6th, 2024!)
Breaking The Rules: 4 Controversial Porsche 911 Engine Swaps That, Actually Work
Blasphemous to purists at first glance, these 911 engine swaps have some sound logic behind them
Only one car can give you the feel of a Porsche 911 and that’s a 911. Altering any aspect of this iconic sports car can dramatically change the driving experience, but that hasn’t stopped people from taking out the boxer engine and replacing it with something that at first glance, doesn’t belong there. The rear-engine Porsche sports car is considered one of the most refined and usable high-performance cars, that you can daily-drive. At least, in most of its iterations. Despite much praise, however, the 911 is not a perfect car, and certain generations are known to suffer from a few major issues.
2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S: A Performance SUV That Should Be On Your Radar
Beyond its limited production run for a single model year, here's why you should bid on this pristine hard-to-find 955 Cayenne Turbo S
Remember the early 2000s? Back when flip phones were peak tech and Britney was rocking a shaved head? That’s also when Porsche dropped a bomb called the Cayenne. Sure, some folks scoffed – a Porsche SUV? But here’s the thing: the Cayenne, along with the Boxster, saved Porsche’s bacon. They were the volume sellers that funded glorious things like the Carrera GT. Plus, they practically invented the whole "sporty SUV" thing. (Yes, yes, I know the Lamborghini LM002 came first, but the Cayenne brought it mainstream.)
Techart GTstreet R MonoChrome: The German Tuner's 800 Horsepower Nod To Five Decades Of The Porsche 911 Turbo
Limited to just 20 examples, here's how it stacks up against Porsche's 50th anniversary 911 Turbo special
As a gearhead who loves a good special edition, I was excited to see what Porsche came up with to celebrate 50 years of the iconic 911 Turbo. Their 911 Turbo 50 Years based on the 992.1 with 1,974 units and historical nods looks like a tempting option. But for those seeking something even more exclusive and outrageous, there’s the Techart GTstreet R Monochrome. This limited edition (only 20 units!) takes the already impressive GTstreet R, based on the 911 Turbo S, and cranks everything up to eleven. Where the 911 Turbo 50 Years from Porsche is more of a cosmetic makeover, Techart has made some significant upgrades with this ultra-low-run model.
2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Vs. 2025 Lotus Emeya
Lotus is seemingly out of its element with an all-electric sedan, but has the British company inadvertently created a Taycan killer?
Porsche’s Taycan is one of the most hyped-up and popular performance EVs on sale today. By Q4 of 2023, Porsche had sold 136,000 Taycans cumulatively. The EV sedan bumped Porsche sports car sales by 3.3 percent, despite the German brand’s overall sales having dropped by 12 percent compared to 2022. While the electric vehicle market is currently experiencing a slowdown, it hasn’t stopped other manufacturers from entering the performance EV segment with their own offerings. Take for instance Lotus, a brand typically known for its lightweight sports cars. Still, now the British carmaker is giving us the Emeya – a large, EV performance sedan that wants to steal potential buyers, from the likes of the Taycan and Tesla Model S.

Hailed by purists as the mecca for air-cooled 911s, this year's L.A. extravaganza stretches far beyond the main October 5th event
Look, I’m not going to sugarcoat it: Luftgekühlt 10 is a must-attend event for any self-respecting Porsche enthusiast. This year, with Luftgekühlt 10 marking the 50th anniversary of the 911 Turbo, you just can’t miss out on this one. Mark your calendars – October 5th at the Universal Studios Backlot in L.A. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this.
