Total 911

The 992 era is starting to warm up now with the launch of the flagship Turbo S. Beautiful, powerful and comfortable, it’s the epitome of the 911 as a do-it-all sports car, the Turbo taking that mantra very much on to the next level. At its launch, Dr

Fast drives don’t get any better than this: with nobody else around to share the spoils, Porsche’s Carrera T underlines its credentials as the ideal modern driver’s companion, as car and driver stitch the corners together along a twisty mountain road

Porsche Exclusive has announced a bizarre new direct printing service for 911 owners who wish to get their fingerprint emblazoned on the bonnet of their new 992. The service, which Porsche says makes your 911 even more unique, costs €7,500 and involv

Porsche’s new flagship Turbo S model is set to be offered with a lightweight package option for more enthusiastic customers, admits Frank-Steffen Walliser, Porsche’s head of the 911 model series. The new 992 Turbo S, revealed at a virtual launch inst

Works driver André Lotterer continued his strong performance for the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team in its maiden Formula E season, crossing the line in 8th place in Marrakesh to secure more points for Weissach. Two weeks after securing pole positi

Dear Sir, I’ve followed your work on repainting your 996 Irish green and it is one of my favourite colours. My view is that nowadays if you want a 996 or 997 in a primary colour, you have to either repaint or wrap the car. Almost everything is black

You can never have too much of a good thing, which is perhaps why every iteration of 911 Turbo has spawned a more powerful ‘S’ variant. Extreme, exotic and exclusive, they sit at the pinnacle of road car performance for their respective eras. The sto

Porsche only made 345 examples of the ultimate air-cooled 911 Turbo. Until 20 years later, that is, when 993 Turbo S number 346 belatedly left Stuttgart. That car was Project Gold, a one-off by Porsche Classic with golden yellow metallic paint inspir

The Porsche Turbo came into existence thanks to the foresight of the company’s new managing director, Ernst Fuhrmann. Appointed in 1971, Fuhrmann (below) who had worked at Porsche in the 1950s (and developed the famous quad-cam Carrera), saw that wit

A new GT racing championship devised partly by Jürgen Barth started in 1994. Initially Porsche raced the 964 RSR with success and then developed a Turbo version of the 993 to maintain its hegemony in the lower-horsepower GT2 category. The 993 GT2 was

The unveiling of Porsche’s 992 Turbo S was bizarre for a number of reasons. Robbed of a glitzy public debut in front of the world’s media at the 80th Geneva Motor Show, cancellation of the event in Switzerland meant that Porsche had to make do with a

Not only are the tyres the largest to be fitted to a 911 Turbo, the track width has been increased too, 45mm on the front and 10mm on the rear The rump of the 992 Turbo S now measures 1,900mm – overall width is 2,024mm without mirrors folded. As a re

As William Blake once said, hindsight is a wonderful thing. It’s been just over two years since we brought you our first drive of the 991 Carrera T, that being a continental drive from the mountains above Monaco to the bumpy B-roads of Britain (it’s

Launched as a 4WD-only 911 in 1989, enthusiasts were up in arms – what had happened to their simple, pure 911 sports car? The 964 was the unloved 911 for years, the matter not helped by the engine’s propensity to drop oil, and a tidy-enough example c

You could be forgiven for assuming race driver David Donohue simply followed his father Mark Donohue into motorsport. Mark had famously won the 1973 Can-Am championship in a Porsche 917/30, the inaugural IROC championship in a 911 RSR (plus the Dayto

The deep, deep gloss of Porsche 964 Piano black paintwork is utterly blemish free under the bright florescent lighting of Ninemeister’s build area. Polished to a mirror finish, there’s not the slightest imperfection anywhere. You can look as hard as

Keeping a 911 looking its best has been a major element in ownership from day one. The choice usually comes down to deciding between chemical protection, via detailing, or a physical barrier over the paint, via paint protection film (PPF). Getting th

911s in the data file are organised in rows according to release date, beginning with the very first model in 1964. Many models were available in Coupe, Targa and Cabriolet forms, with the option of automatic transmission. Here, data has been provide

A rather sinister corner of the entire Porsche community, the flipper market defines the highly controversial space where a customer is able to purchase a desirable vehicle (in this case a GT 911) from the dealer at list price with the sole intention

Make no mistake, rallying is in David Richards’ blood. Born in June 1952 and raised in North Wales, he went on to study accountancy, but playing with numbers soon gave way to motorsport. The peak of his glittering career as a professional co-driver w

Like many innovations on Porsche road cars, the centre-lock wheel’s origins lie in motorsport. The need for a quick and efficient tyre change necessitated a new design concept where only one large nut needed to be undone to free the wheel, rather tha

Only a few years had passed since the 911’s arrival when Porsche introduced a new range-topping model. The ‘Super’ was a clear statement of intent by Zuffenhausen, one that reinforced the Neunelfer’s reputation as a proper sports car. Not only did it
