Last week we hosted Lee Rock, long time PCA member and Vice President of PSI Financial, which is an insurance broker with over 36 years of experience. Lee answered many members questions about insurance and explained in layman terms what to look for when shopping for insurance and what is important. The complete show is here and is chock full on interesting information.
On this episode of Tech Tactics Live, which was filmed during Tech Tactics East 2023, Christoph Klockow from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur in Stuttgart gives us a complete history and breakdown of what makes the 911 Dakar Rallye Design Package so special. He goes over every aspect of this special 911 and why the designers and engineers did what they did to make the package.
Considering the hundreds of thousands of Boxsters on the road, how many modified street fighters have you encountered? Probably the answer is... nada. So when Eastern Buckeye Region members Al and Suzanne Pondillo brought their personalized 2001 986 to the Pocono Parade, it was definitely noticed by attendees.
Father's Day is right around the corner, and perhaps this June 18 will be the day you don't give your dad a T-shirt. To that end, we've assembled a gift guide filled with PCA and Porsche-related goodies that any Porsche-loving father would appreciate. Of course, there's always a T-shirt.
Need some good news? There are twenty-six different Porsche 911 models currently on sale. From the base 911 Carrera to the holy-smokes 911 GT3 RS (or holy-hell 911 Dakar), there really is something for everyone – everyone with a six-figure new-car budget, anyway. And while you can’t go wrong with any of ‘em, there’s a super compelling option smack dab in the middle of the range. Meet the Carrera GTS: The 911’s ultimate sweet spot.
Go to Italy in May, they said. It will be warm and pleasant, they said. And generally, they would have been right. But oh boy, not so this year, sadly, for the timing of the 2023 Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza. None of this kept car owners, guests, judges and media from flocking to the fabulous Villa d’Este hotel on the shores of Lake Como for Italy’s arguably most traditional and most famous concorso.
Porsche is adding two new, and two updated, models to the company’s eBike range in 2023. The new eBike Cross Performance and eBike Cross Performance EXC have been created in collaboration with the eBike specialist Rotwild. During the same announcement, the eBike Cross and eBike Sport, that were available previously, are getting updates. All four models are built on carbon fiber frames, with new Porsche colors, and a design inspired by the sloping roofline or “flyline” of the Porsche 911 and the Porsche Taycan.
In addition to the Classic Club Coupe, Broad Arrow Auctions has put together an impressive group of consignments, so much so that choosing five cars to highlight here was a difficult and admittedly arbitrary task. Nevertheless, here are five cars that we find particularly interesting — they’ll cross the block on June 10 in Atlanta.
Porsche's Cayman is named after an alligator-type creature that lives above and below water. There could be no more appropriate place to photograph this unusually spec'd Porsche than by a river with a covered bridge in a section of the Midwest known for its summer humidity. Drenched in glistening options, this Cayman S appeared at this location with more eye-catching baubles than a model on a fashion catwalk. In short, it was one of those most desirous of Porsches that demands, "Look at me!"

One of the latest terms you’ll hear in the EV world is “solid state batteries.” But what are solid state batteries and why has Porsche invested in a company that will provide these batteries? Will they revolutionize the electric car or is it just another technology that’s not ready for mass consumption yet?

April 15 is usually a day of dread for tax payers who have not yet filed their taxes or, even worse, owe money to the government. For “car guys” and especially Porsche enthusiasts, April 15 2023 was a great day. The Petersen Automotive Museum launched its new We Are Porsche exhibit.

Mart Fresh is a bi-weekly column in which we pick what we think are the "freshest" Porsches currently available, and then attempt to explain our reasoning. Up this week are a 1991 944 S2, 2005 Boxster, 2006 911 Carrera, and 2015 Macan S.
The 1999 Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe was the brainchild of the Porsche Club of America and Porsche's Sonderwunsch program to showcase what's possible. It will be auctioned off on June 10 at the Broad Arrow Group Porsche 75th Anniversary Auction, taking place at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta.
Carbone is a Polish company that claims to make "cool stuff for air-cooled enthusiasts," having expanded from replicating 911 engine bay decals to creating all sorts of automotive accessories for both air- and water-cooled Porsches. In this video, we catch up with Carbone's latest showcase at Techno Classic in Essen Germany in April. It's a 1978 911 SC Targa that demonstrates many ways to update your Porsche and make it your own without straying too far from a period-correct look.
