In a world were a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.9 seconds seems fast, but not mind numbingly fast, it is sometimes hard to remember just how great some older cars are. Thanks to recent technology you can get performance that was once only available in the fastest supercars in a lower priced sports cars. Case in point is the Porsche Carrera GT.… Read more

Back in the 80′s the styling and performance of the Porsche 944 was so popular that it brought on a host of competitors. Most of these competitors were from Japan and they attempted to have performance and style as close to the Porsche as possible. The 944 Turbo was the top of the line in ’86 and many thought it may totally change the purist’s view toward the front engined cars.… Read more

I love to see old Porsche advertisements. The way that cars in general used to be advertised is quite different than they are advertised today. At one time even the most boring cars would be shown driving quickly on fun curvy roads with a a lot of engine sound. Now a days ads often don’t even show the cars in motion.… Read more

The above video is of an early Porsche 911 doing some track testing. The footage in the video is great and shows just how much fun someone who knows what they are doing can have in an early Porsche 911. I personally love to see this type of footage with an early Porsche on the track were it was meant to be.… Read more

The Porsche 911 (964) Turbo was quite a car in its day. In fact it is a car that is still very fast even by today’s high standards. This video of Old Top Gear shows Tiff Needell reviewing the 1993 Porsche 911 (964) Turbo. Tiff takes the then new 911 Turbo to the Millbrook proving grounds and puts the car through its paces.… Read more

This video is an early ad for the Porsche 928 S. The vintage video is from the early to mid-eighties and shows a different time for advertisements. The ad is slower moving than modern advertisements but has a lot of great footage of the Porsche 928 S. The 928 was a very different car for Porsche, with its powerful engine (especially for the time) in the front and a trans-axle in the back to give it great handling (essentially the same layout as the 924, 944 and 968, but with a V8).… Read more

This video is a tribute to one of the all time great race cars, the Porsche 917. The video features some vintage footage of the Porsche 917 in action on the track as well as some very nice still images. The video is pretty well done and it will make you long for the era when these Porsches ruled the track.… Read more

This video is of some vintage Porsche 928 commercials. The video features five commercials from the 1980′s all of which feature a Porsche 928 model. The 928 is possibly the best GT car ever built, although because it isn’t rear or mid-engined some purists are not big fans of it. However, many more Porsche enthusiasts [...]… Read more

This video is from a commercial about the Porsche 911 (996). The video features a brief history of Porsche and a Porsche 911 (996) Turbo. It is interesting to me that they refer to a Porsche as “impractical” which is a bit different of a message from that of the recent Porsche “Everyday” ad campaign. [...]… Read more

Yesterday was Halloween and the wife and I took our two little ones Trick or Treating. At one of the houses just down the street from where we live was an nice older gentleman that spoke with an European accent (I believe it was Irish, but could be wrong). This gentleman was wearing a Porsche [...]… Read more
