Like the 924 and 944, the Boxster has received flack in its lifetime as a poor relation to the 911. But it doesn’t take much digging to find a loyal fanbase. To me there is something that looks just right about an early 2.5-litre ‘fried egg’ headligh

The final models of the classic-era Porsche 911 fit into the stereotypical image of the go-go 1980s as perfectly as red braces, Filofaxes and Babycham. It’s an enduring image of the greed-is-good age, the lipstick-red or midnight-black widowmaker wit

In 1970 Porsche won the 1000-kilometre endurance race held at Brands Hatch, in a 917 driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Leo Kinnunen. More recently Porsche returned to set 13 new British endurance records in its new Taycan models. A 4S and Turbo S lapped

The Boxster now feels almost as integral to the Porsche model range as the 911, and it’s certainly not short of reference points in Stuttgart’s back catalogue, but when the mid-engined roadster was launched 25 years ago, it was still pretty radical.

Roof up or down?’ I ask photographer Jordan Butters before we take a trip down memory lane in the 986-generation Boxster. It’s a dry if wintry two-degree morning and the correct answer is most definitely ‘up’. ‘Down,’ comes Jordan’s inevitable reply.

The Boxster was to prove a brilliant idea of which the first public inkling was at the 1993 Detroit motor show: Porsche stylists exhibited a striking, mid-engine concept two-seater for which acclaim, not just in Porsche’s largest market, was immediat

We return to our detailed history of Porsche’s flat-six engine in 1970, when the designation officially changed from ‘901’ to ‘911’. Just seven years after Porsche first showed its flat-six engine and the 911 to the world, its development took a shar

Trends are a curious thing to watch. For years, in the wide world of the modified Porsche there seemed to be one train of thought – faster and lower was the way to go. But the past few years have seen the rise of an alternative school of thought. Lit

Mark Sumpter and his then business partner Adrian Mole were employed at a local Ford dealership in the early 1990s. Both owned 911s, and they decided to open Paragon Porsche in 1993. The reason? None other than a yearning to be part of the Porsche sc

Four-wheel drive and Porsche are now as holy a combination as the 911 and its rear engine location. The Cayenne and Macan may be the most obvious signs of Porsche’s extra traction intent, but the firm’s history is littered with four-wheel drive machi
