Total 911

In Porsche circles, 2019 wasn’t the most spectacular of years. Values of our 911s went down almost across the board, with many cars sitting for sale for months. Meanwhile, expansion of the latest 992 model lineup from the manufacturer proved slow. Cl

Total 911’s spies have captured the 992 Targa in cold-climate testing – Porsche’s extreme weather study – suggesting a final production reveal is imminent. Spotted in the snowy terrain of northern Sweden, where temperatures dropped to minus 13 degree

Works driver André Lotterer ensured Porsche’s debut in Formula E was a memorable one after finishing the first race in 2nd position. The opening weekend of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship 2019/20 presented a double header under glorious sunshine i

Dear Sir, A question came up at a recent cars and coffee, and I’d like to know your opinion – plus those of any others who wish to get involved. It all started when we saw a manual 991.2 GT3 for sale. The owner wanted £140k for it. Somebody made wha

There’s no heated seat. Forgivable in a Speedster, particularly given the likelihood being that most, if not all, will be used on warm, sun-kissed days and fitted with full bucket seats. Not this car though, as someone’s ticked the box for Adaptive S

Nigh-on two decades had passed since the launch of the legendary 2.7RS, but by the early 1990s it was the turn of the 964 to wear those two special letters. Unsurprisingly it was the lure of the race track that sired the new model, the RS being the h

Günter Steckkönig did not yet have his trademark moustache when he came to Zuffenhausen as a Reutter apprentice in 1953. That would materialise two decades later, by which time Steckkönig was a fully fledged Porsche experimental engineer and acknowle

On 22 November 2019, driver André Lotterer walked off the podium at the Riyadh Street Circuit in Saudi Arabia with a second-place finish and a huge grin on his face. For his team, TAG Heuer Porsche, this was supposed to have been a toe-dip into the w

For many, they’re the quintessential 911. With smooth, unblemished lines, a strictly mechanical feel, and usable power on skinny tyres, the early, pre-impact bumper 911s – often referred to as long bonnets – are the original and, in some circles, bes

The sound symposer is perhaps the quintessential modern-day gimmick, representative of the contemporary automotive industry in trying to deliver traces of a traditional driving experience (for those of us who want it) while battling the strangulation
