After a quick preview from Porsche themselves, the next generation of the 911, the 2012 one, was just spotted almost undisguised out on the public roads. Mind you, undisguised means you can figure out most of the body shape of the 2012 Porsche 911, but as far as the headlights and tail lamps are concerned you'll have to use your...
Most likely this post will cheer up a lot of Porsche fans considering that the German company just released an official video teaser along some new details for the next-generation 911, a model which is scheduled to debut at the upcoming Frankfurt Auto Show in September. As expected, the new 911 brings nothing completely new in terms of exterior styling...

Porsche is tired of Ferrari and Lamborghini having their own way. Now that McLaren joined the game with the MP4-12C the Germans feel a disarmed. Rumor has it that they are now planning on making a new car, one that should compete with the Italian and British heroes while still making financial sense. That would mean the new Porsche would...
Recently there's been a huge influx of automotive manufacturers developing and testing their sports cars around the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit.

Their newest version of the Cayman was recently spotted at the aforementioned...
With the R18 TDI winning the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race, the Germans at Audi clocked up 10 total victories at the famed French event.

Porsche hold several motorsport records, among which they...
About 11 years ago, most of the world's petrolheads were appalled at the idea of Porsche making a small roadster, something they called the Boxster. Here we are, several years later and despite the many times it proved itself the Porsche Boxster still isn't easily welcomed to the world. That doesn't seem to have phased the Germans at all, mostly...
Porsche holds a pretty interesting record. The German manufacturer won just about anything and everything and in more numbers than anybody else who ever took place in motorsport.

The current Porsche 911 GT3 receives a new tuning kit, this time from the German specialists from Magnat, a tuning house which prepared a package for the Stuttgart-based supercar offering some aesthetic tweaks and engine upgrades as well.

We've known for quite some time that the Volkswagen Group won't let the opportunity of selling small SUVs go without draining every last bit of money there is out of it. The arrival of the Audi Q5 was so well received that rumors about a Porsche spin-off appeared nearly instantly. A while after that, we've known about the Porsche Cajun....
Porsche did such a great job on making the Cayenne and then improving it for the second generation that they may have neglected the aspect retouches it so desperately needed. The Porsche Cayenne II is more easily digestible than the first generation but it's still far from being delicious. This is what paves the way for tuning businesses around the...
The Chinese market is by far one of the most important and attractive markets for all the major car makers, that's why, more and more manufacturers are launching special editions or models for the country whose automotive industry grew in a very fast pace in the last years.

The Germans at Porsche may be stubborn about their placement of engines in a car, but one thing you can't deny about their activity. With every new model or new generation of previous ones, Porsche brings new technologies to the market and it's this sort of stuff that keeps them ahead of the pack. Pending news leakage and new patent...

Porsche released details on the "Black Edition" dedicated to the current Cayman S. Expectable, this special edition that will be available just in 500 units brings aesthetic improvements but also few additional horses under the bonnet. Namely, the 3.4-liter unit available for Cayman S offers 325 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque, just around 10 extra ponies being available, nothing...
Even though Porsche upgraded the last of the 911s to a 4.0 liter engine the Germans are not happy with how Ferrari's 458 and more recently the McLaren MP4-12C are leaving it behind. This is why Porsche announced a comeback with a car that's supposed to be powered by a V8, possibly called the 961 series and it may also...
