As a quick history refresher, Porsche built the 935 race car back in 1976 for FIA Homologation. They entered the car in the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans which it won. It was a historically great race car for Porsche winning the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring six times each. ...Published on 09-29-2018 06:03 PM
It is already well established the McLaren 720S is the faster car but the GT2 RS in the right hands is the better handling car. Still, this a rare pair of cars to see race each other so this video from Brazil showing multiple drag and rolling start runs is appreciated. ...Published on 09-27-2018 03:21 PM
There are not many VTG turbo upgrade options for the Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 Turbo models. VTG turbochargers are very difficult to produce and only a handful of OEM's have the capability. You pretty much are regulated to hybrid wheel upgrade options. ...Published on 09-26-2018 09:41 PM
On paper this might sound like a mismatch but there was actually a time where an RS4 Avant could put the fear of god into any Porsche 911 Carrera in the lineup including the GTS. That was all the way back with the Audi B5 generation RS4 and things have certainly changed quite a bit since then. ...Published on 09-26-2018 08:42 PM
PorscheBoost recently posted an article regarding restrictions in tuning the 9A2B6 3.0 turbo flat-6 platform currently poses. Mitchell Mckee of Cobb Tuning (and his own M-Engineering.us consulting service) helped clear up several details. ...Published on 09-25-2018 09:32 PM
There are some really bad shops out there. This is not the first time a shop crashed a customer's car when doing things in it they were not supposed to and it will not be the last. In the early years of BimmerBoost the story that got the most traffic that was when Discovery Automotive wrecked a customer's Ford GT. ...Published on 09-25-2018 05:51 PM
You previously read about the TTE600 turbo upgrade for the Porsche 991.2 9A2B6 3.0 earlier this year. This is a mild hybrid upgrade producing 583 crank horsepower but it goes to show just how much of difference upgraded turbos make on the Carrera. ...Published on 09-25-2018 04:53 PM
The testing data we have already tells us the GT2 RS is slightly slower than the McLaren 720S in a drag race. Seeing numbers and real world results are two different things and this video does a good job putting the real world difference in context. ...Published on 09-21-2018 07:21 PM
In less than a decade almost every Porsche in the lineup will be fully electric. It is a major change and one enthusiasts will struggle with. Tuning your car likely will become a thing of the past as companies are stepping up encryption and doing trial runs for preventing tuning now. ...Published on 09-21-2018 04:03 PM
This is a drag race you saw two months back but it was conducted by Autocar. This time Top Gear gets their hands on the trio of high powered German sedans. As a reminder, Autocar's numbers showed the Panamera as the quickest and the E63 S as the fastest in the 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile. ...Published on 09-21-2018 01:52 PM
Another year another World's Greatest Drag Race from MotorTrend. This year the competition has some very fast cars but again it takes place on a non-prepped airport tarmac. That is fine as how else will you do a 12-wide drag race? ...Published on 09-20-2018 03:00 PM
This #TBT Throwback Thursday is focused on the 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4. This is part of the 964 generation which preceded the 993 of course. The 993 being the last air-cooled generation and where many Porsche purists draw the line. ...Published on 09-19-2018 05:41 PM
Car and Driver deserves quite a bit of credit here. Their field has all the cars you would want to see in action. From the 991.2 GT2 RS, Ford GT, Lamborghini Huracan Performante, McLaren 720S, to the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 they covered the big boys. ...Published on 09-18-2018 01:11 PM
The 991.2 generation GT3 already makes incredible power from 4.0 liters of displacement. 500 horses in naturally aspirated form from a relatively small six-cylinder is incredible. Not to mention Porsche is actually delivering a bit more than advertised. ...Published on 09-18-2018 11:51 AM
This comparison is from EVO so you already know it is well done. Details like the cars wearing the same rubber (Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2) are taken care of. Additionally, the Brits had to throw in a British car although go-kart is more accurate. ...
