I woke up this morning to a teaser comment from John over at PorschePurist.com. It was a short comment that said: “Ryan, You’ll want to check out my site in about 30 minutes… :-).” Wow! He wasn’t kidding! I jumped over to the Porsche Press site and found some gorgeous pictures and a full press […]
Porsche Roxster
November 3, 2009 by
Looks like Porsche has beaten Brad to the punch. If you weren’t around for Brad’s Boxster Project posts, you can view them here: Porsche’s Mid-Engine Gap (P.R. Part 1) & Project Roxster – The Ultimate Boxster (P.R. Part 2). The idea was to turn a Boxster into an affordable “supercar” that the Carrera GT would […]

Wired features “10 Cars Way Too Far Ahead of Their Time” – I ran across this post this weekend in connection with an article about Toyota’s next generation hybrid. The 1st car on the list was the first known hybrid production car (pictured above) built in 1898 by Ferdinand Porsche. The 7th car on the […]

2 more lives saved by a Porsche – What is it about serious crashes in Porsches? Lots of dumb drivers I’m sure. Fortunately a number of them end with serious injuries being avoided (which I’m unresearchingly chalking up to driving a Porsche). This time a couple of teenagers were out joyriding in daddy’s Boxster, took […]
Porsche Formula 1 Team
October 8, 2009 by
James O. sent me a link to an article today that indicated Volkswagen is considering an entry into Formula One. Reinhold Carl, the managing director of Audi Singapore, told reporters, “If the cost is lower, it will be more manageable.” This was after he mentioned that teams had to lay out “well over a hundred […]

Man reunited with his Porsche after 5 years – This is one of the great things about Porsche cars. By and large, they don’t tend to travel long distances from where they are sold. This enables a story like this to happen. Evidently Bob Minnott, a Seattle, WA resident, sold his 1996 Porsche 993 C4S, […]
Porsche Boxster Speedster Pics
September 22, 2009 by
The Internet was abuzz late last week with reports and spy shots of a coming Porsche Boxster Speedster. It appears the car has a redesigned front bumper, new side intakes and a larger rear spoiler. You also have the usual speedster “hump” over the retracted roof (at least based on the pictures I’ve seen). As […]
2011/2012 Porsche Boxster Spied
September 9, 2009 by
Motor Trend originally reported this as a likely candidate for the 2012 Boxster model, but Global Motors is calling it a 2011 model. Regardless of who you believe, you’ll want to check out the footage above of the test Boxster blasting around the track at the Nürburgring. Most of the changes are fairly subtle. The […]
Porsche 911 Turbo S On It’s Way?
September 8, 2009 by
We’ve seen Turbo S versions of Porsche’s flagship 911 the last 2 model cycles and even a 944 Turbo S towards the end of it’s production run. That leads me (among many other people) to believe that Porsche will be giving us new fodder for our dream car wish lists sometime soon. Many around the […]

3 new Porsche models on the horizon? – This is an interesting one. It’s no secret that VW wants Porsche to sell more cars. 150,000 units per year by 2013 is the latest goal. To do that, they really have to introduce some lower cost vehicles into the market. A solution is the introduction of […]
