We love Porsches. We love racecars. But we ESPECIALLY love Porsche racecars! Check out this incredible 1987 Porsche 962 IMSA GTP we found on Bring a Trailer.
The 911 Dakar’s engineers raided the 911 parts bin, transplanting the 473hp twin-turbo flat-six from the Carrera GTS, installing the GT3’s carbon-fiber hood, the Carrera S brakes, and the cooling system from the Turbo S.
After 6,000 miles of true off-road testing complete, along with a total of 300,000 miles of “extreme conditions”, Porsche is ready to debut the 911 Dakar next week on November 16th.
Porsche, deservingly if you ask us, has been covered over and over in a series of coffee table books. So, why another one? Can it really add value?
We’ve always felt the Porsch e928 was a bit of an underrated classic, and now it’s been given the love it deserves.
The new Porsche Tequipment two-person roof tent comes in a sleek hard case that was developed at Porsche’s performance-oriented Weissach Development Center to be more aerodynamic than your average overlanding setup.
At $224k, the GT3 RS ain’t cheap, but try to think of another car that does what this does for less. We’re pretty sure you can’t think of a car that is better for less, so we’d say the 911 GT3 RS qualifies as good value.

We rarely cover in-car audio and despite the Munich High‑End show being surrounded by automotive excellence (there’s a car museum just opposite and it sits…
They said it would never happen. They said Porsche would always dumb down the 718 (Cayman) so that it didn’t cannibalize the 911. Well, in a way, “never” just happened. Porsche has announced that the GT3 motor is now available in the 718. It isn’t called the 718 GT3; instead, they’ve dubbed it the 718 GT4 RS. Okay, whatever.
Everything enthusiasts ask for.

Fellow Porsche nerds, this is a must-see: Top Gear’s Chris Harris chats with Andreas Preuninger about every generation of the Porsche GT3, with a light introduction of the new one at around the 28:20 mark.
Split into three classes, of which each contains a spec car that’s already well-raced throughout the world, Porsche Sprint Challenge North America events will team up with IMSA, IndyCar, and SRO to offer eight events next year, at a great selection of tracks. Sadly, none of the events will be on the West Coast. Regardless, we’re keeping an eye on this one
If you are thinking about what classes are a step up from Spec Miata, but still affordable, running a class based on Porsche Boxsters has some intuitive appeal. You get a sexier car, with a mid-engine layout and more power. You retain a spec class, with the advantages that has for car counts and close racing. Let’s take a closer look at the results.
Porsche has broken another Nürburgring lap record, this time utilizing the portlier end of their lineup: the Panamera Turbo. Clocking in a lightning-fast 7:29.81, they’ve set the record for production cars in the executive car segment. These might be larger cars, but they’ve got the power and chassis to match.
It’s a sad day in North American motorsports, as Porsche has announced they are ending their factory GTLM effort in IMSA starting in 2021. This leaves just BMW with their M8 GTE (who won at Daytona a few months back) and Chevrolet with their brand-new C8.R to duke it out in this class.
The Porsche 911 GT1 barely needs any introduction, especially here on WR. One quick glimpse instills instant excitement; one can imagine how much of a thrill it was roaring through the world’s most iconic racetracks with its twin-turbo, 3.2-liter flat-6 and sequential gearbox.
