In the endless parade of Porsche variants, there is a 911 for any taste. From signature base Carrera to world-beating GT2 RS supercar, there are far more than just 50 shades of greatness, with everything from stylish all-wheel-drive Targas and sporty, fun-loving convertibles to varying degrees of track-oriented focus and dedication. Is it goo

It’s not an unfamiliar reaction: pin the throttle in the 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, and the car leaps ahead, power swelling up as the tachometer reaches the upper half of its sweep, and swelling up some more as the 7,400 rpm redline approaches. Gears shift, via the PDK transmission, at an impossible speed, and with impossible precision that sees

ATTICA, Greece – The more the 911 changes, the more it stays the same. When an all-new generation 2020 Porsche 911 arrives this fall in Canada – with first the coupe and followed soon after by the Cabriolet droptop – don’t expect anything radically different for the eighth generation of Porsche’s iconic 911 sports car. At least, not yet. The 911

There simply isn't any other automobile on the market that caters to more specific niches than the Porsche 911. With 25 models of 911 available on the Canadian market alone, Porsche has done a commendable job packaging engine upgrades, visual cues, body styles, and high performance options to create a level of product diversity unmatched by rivals

At the risk of sounding blasphemous, it’s all too easy to be a bit “What’s the big deal?” when first jumping in a Porsche 911. Just ask my wife. The 911 Big Bang happened over 50 years ago, and the expansion of the resulting cosmos has accelerated dramatically in recent years. In the case of this 2015 Carrera 4 GTS that carries a $137,9

Porsche has confirmed it's going to build the 911 Speedster it has been showing as a concept. The open-top 911 was on display at the Paris show. It will be a mashup of some of Zuffenhausen's best components and serve as a bit of an anniversary present to the company. The Speedster Concept was first revealed in June, boasting a double-bubble behi

Tenerife, Canary Islands – Yep, this is a big deal. To clarify, all new Porsche 911s (with the exception of the GT3) are now turbocharged. The legend. The icon. The world’s most famous sports car. The backbone on which Porsche has built a dynasty. The car whose trio of digits line up with those you dial when someone falls off a ladder.

While at first blush, it may seem strange that the Porsche 2019 911 GT3 RS is debuting after the much-ballyhooed GT2 RS – currently the most powerful car in Porsche’s line-up – Porsche will tell you that the GT3 RS actually has a stronger tie to its motorsport roots than the GT2. There’s no hiding the fact that the GT3 RS is one of the most l

There’s so much more to the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S than its ability to compress your eyeballs into wee-bitty pancakes while inspiring expletives that would make a Russian sailor blush, but such is the ridiculous level of linear g-forces this all-wheel-drive projectile can inflict upon flesh-and-blood humans, once strapped within its leather-lined

Photos by Justin Pritchard and Chris Koski A small drive-mode dial with four LED lights and four letters sprouts from a spoke of the sport steering wheel in the Porsche 911. You twist it into one of four detents, at 3, 6, 9, or 12 o’clock, to engage Sport, Sport+, Individual, or Ordinary / Normal modes, respectively. It’s like the mode selector

With nearly all Porsche 911 models now turbocharged – whether they’re Turbo models or not – the 2017 model year marked the first year in Canada that consumers couldn’t buy a new, naturally aspirated 911, outside of a couple special-order models (911 R, GT3 RS). This latest 991 version of the GT3 will offer a manual six-speed transmission when

Next up in the list of toys for people who love really expensive cars but can't afford them: rather than pony up just over $200,000 for a real Porsche 911 GT3 RS, you can now get your mitts on the LEGO version for a much more reasonable -- but still very expensive as far as LEGO is concerned -- $349.99. That said, the kit is highly detailed an

The eighth generation of one of the most iconic and timeless shapes in automotive design is here. The all-new 992-generation of the Porsche 911 has arrived. And it’s arriving first as the Carrera S and 4S. Like you’d expect, it looks like a 911. The company isn’t reinventing the wheel here. And they’re aware of it. So instead of broad swaths of

BOWNMANVILLE, ON – There are two rows of Porsche 911s parked in pit lane at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (née Mosport’s) Driver Development track. It would take a practiced eye to notice that two of those cars are not like the others – so subtle are the differences between the brand-new 2020 911 and the car that precedes it. The extra techno

When I was offered a couple of days in a 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS , the good folks at Porsche might as well have asked if I wanted Michael Phelps to come over and splash around in my pool, or have Banksy repaint my eavestroughs. The GT3 RS is arguably the most raw and race-ready of the seemingly endless variants of the Porsche 911, and not experi
