Spring is in full swing in most parts of the country which means convertibles are coming out of their hibernation. Convertible tops require maintenance in order to live a long life. That’s all part of being an owner of a drop-top Porsche. The payoff is that wind-in-your-hair driving experience with all your senses going full-tilt. Taking care of your top is easy. Here are eight basic tips to follow.
Scott and Terri Emery Morgan moved to Florida in 2022 and began downsizing their 20-year classic muscle car hobby, looking for a new automobile brand and new social opportunities.
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 1978 928, 1999 911 Carrera, 2012 Boxster S, and 2018 Macan GTS.
Chris Jacobs joined Vu Nguyen and Manny Alban at the 2023 Porsche Parade in Palm Springs to chat about his career in car shows and what Porsche means to him. Chris was a longtime host of Overhaulin’ and is also a PCA member. He gave us a behind-the-scenes look into how he started at Overhaulin’, what goes on after the cameras stop filming, an inside look at the episode where they modify a Porsche 356, and, of course, the story of when he got punched filming a prank. If you enjoy reality automotive television, you’ll love the background stories of Overhaulin’.
We were somewhere near the middle of a massive, crusty salt bed 120 miles west of Salt Lake City, also known as the Bonneville Salt Flats. Actually, we had no idea if we were near the middle, side, top or bottom — there are no roads, landmarks, or evidence of life anywhere to be seen in any direction. Our only reference point was the hazy outline of a mountain range somewhere in the far, far distance. We were driving exceptionally fast into nowhere on a giant sheet of blinding white salt. It was cool — and weird.
Did you know there’s a website, developed by Porsche, that can teach you a lot about the Porsche you’re currently driving? It’s called Video Tutorials for your Porsche. It covers the current Porsche model lineup except for the Taycan. Below are the models and years it covers. For the 911 and Panamera, goes back to 2009. It also covers every Cayenne and Macan made.
Last year's Long Beach race saw Porsche reach the top of the podium with their 963 by only using one set of tires for the entire race. Unlike last year, Porsche-Penske Motorsport’s two 963s shared the track with 963s run by Proton Competition (#5) and JDC Miller Motorsports (#85).
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 924 GTP Tribute, 1987 911 Carrera, 2015 Macan S, and 2018 911 Carrera T.
Join us on Wednesday, May 1, at 8PM ET for a special episode of Tech Tactics Live where host Vu Nguyen welcomes Jake Raby of Raby Air Cooled Technology and Flat Six Innovations and Charles Navarro of LN Engineering. Jake and Charles are in our studio to discuss the recent installation of the IMS Solution into a 996, as well as many other while-you’re-in-there repairs on a 1999 996-era 911. Plus, they will be on hand to answer all your questions about Porsche engines, IMS repair and solutions, and the secrets to getting more power out your Porsche.
Scott Bartlett and Scott Devault from Porsche Cars North America joined host, Vu Nguyen, in this behind-the-scenes look at how those famous retro liveries were made and used. From the Coca Cola RSR to the Brumos that ran at Daytona to the XBOX special Porsche editions, you’ll hear how these came to be. This presentation is a must see for any Porsche or racing enthusiast. This was recorded at the 2023 Porsche Parade in Palm Spring, California.
Choose your high risk/high reward analogy — Sputnik, Apollo 11, D-Day (well, maybe not D-Day) — but the fact is, it’s impossible to overestimate the importance of the launch of the Macan EV for Porsche AG. If you’re expecting any measure of suspense here, prepare to be disappointed. Porsche’s execution on this, the first of its nameplates to migrate to an EV platform, was predictably excellent, but this is much more complicated than just pulling off a near-flawless product launch.
With its 3.0-liter, four-cylinder engine and a six-speed-manual transmission (or optional Tiptronic), the 968 was essentially a new car compared to the 924 and 944, yet it showcased the refinement Porsche had achieved over 15 years of those cars' development.
TPC Racing's Mike Levitas gives us the most in-depth tech tours of a 718 Cayman GT4 RS road car and a GT4 RS Clubsport race car, from top to bottom — and underneath. At the end of the video, Mike demonstrates some of the interior functions of the race car in his shop's parking lot. (Professional driver, private lot — owned by TPC Racing.)
Amid all the fun driving some of the greatest examples of the 911, it was easy to overlook the fact that none of them were running on pump gasoline. Instead, after each day’s drive, Porsche filled each tank from barrels of eFuel.
