We all know the naturally aspirated Porsche flat-6 is reaching its last days. That does not mean it does not have more to offer. Dundon Motorsports built an impressive 4.2 liter 997.1 GT3 flat-6 which shows an impressive 462.9 wheel horsepower. ...Published on 11-15-2018 07:58 PM
Vonnen's hybrid boosting Porsche 991 system naturally caught the eye of PorscheBoost due to the ongoing 991.2 project car. Their Stage 1 system adds 175 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque at a $75k premium. ...Published on 11-13-2018 08:28 PM
You have to give HRE props here for doing something different as their new designs seemed to stagnate. The end result here is not the most aesthetically pleasing wheel as it looks like something out of a Lego Technic kit but it certainly is different and points toward future design methods. ...Published on 11-08-2018 04:42 PM
If you have not heard of do88 it is likely because they are located in Sweden. They supply hoses and cooling packages to Koenigsegg so their stuff is engineered to a high performance level. They just released an upgraded cooling and airflow package for the Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 Turbo models. ...Published on 11-07-2018 06:13 PM
McLaren kicked dust in Ferrari's face since they launched the MP4-12C back in 2011. It was not even close between the two. Well, it appears the 488 Pista is Ferrari finally fighting back if Autocar's 2018 best driver's car results are to be believed. ...Published on 11-07-2018 04:51 PM
Another day, another set of 992 spyphotos. This time we have the 911 GT3 model pictured and as you can see it retains the center exit exhaust. The wing gets a slight design change likely for the sake of change and to set the new model apart. ...Published on 11-07-2018 04:27 PM
The Porsche 991.2 Turbo S gets some larger VTG turbochargers from the factory and they certainly pack a wallop when it comes to torque down low. This 991.2 Turbo S was tuned by Fabspeed on 93 octane pump fuel. ...Published on 11-06-2018 05:31 PM
Apparently these pictures leaked onto the internet from a source in Switzerland. The pictured Porsche 911 appears to be a 992 Carrera. This does not seem to be a final production car though and a test mule instead as the rear does not look finished under the taillights. ...Published on 11-06-2018 04:40 PM
EVO does a great job here noting that the GT3 is not a direct rival for the McLaren 570S. It has less power, it's heavier, naturally aspirated, and significantly cheaper. The GT3 is unique in many ways but what it does better than anyone else is offer a street legal GT race car experience. ...Published on 11-06-2018 03:12 PM
This is an interesting setup and drag racers have messed around with volute injection for a while now. Essentially, you are spraying water/methanol directly into the compressor housing. Prometh says this increases the efficiency of the compressor output. ...Published on 11-05-2018 04:23 PM
Everyone knows the advantages of carbon fiber and various modern composites. Light weight while having very high strength. Metal still rules the engine building world but consider carbon fiber connecting rods for a moment. ...Published on 11-03-2018 01:42 PM
The 718 Porsche models do not get nearly the respect they deserve. Yes, they feature four-cylinder boxer motors but they are based on the same 9A2 modular architecture as the 911 flat-6 engines. ...Published on 11-02-2018 04:30 PM
Going straightline racing with a GT2 RS defeats the purpose of it but despite it being a track weapon it's a damn fast car in stock form. So is a McLaren 650S though and this 650S in the video is not stock. ...Published on 11-02-2018 03:01 PM
Congratulations to PorscheBoost member @Markblackwell for setting the 1/2 mile trap speed record for a VTG turbo equipped Porsche. His 991.1 Turbo S ran a best of 179.07 miles per hour courtesy of Tial Sport upgraded VTG turbochargers. ...Published on 11-02-2018 01:41 PM
This is an absolutely bonkers laptime but please keep in mind this is not a stock Porsche 911 GT2 RS. As you well know, the GT2 RS held the Nurburgring production car lap record until the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ took the crown for a stock car with a 6:44.97 lap. ...
