It’s not often Porsche gets it wrong. When it comes to the development of its sports cars, I can think of only three such occasions in the company’s 76-year history: the first was ditching the manual gearbox for its GT3, which happened with the 991.1

If there’s a single story that’s grabbed the attention of 993 enthusiasts these past few years, it’s undoubtedly the Instagram account Limoncellaprojekt. The person behind the account is Paolo Iacometti. Based in Italy, he’s done something quite extr

The renown of the Porsche Turbo extended well beyond the realm of 911 fans, long before the end of the air-cooled cars. This synonym for wild performance, so redolent of the 1970s, was an image that Porsche had been trying to change since 1984. The s

Porsche’s website calls the 997 ‘a fusion of classic and modern’. With 20 years of hindsight, that description seems more apt than ever. If the 996 was a radical reinvention, this was a considered yet ambitious evolution. It improved upon its predece

Dear Sir, I read lots on values of Porsche 911s and have seen the market for many of these cars rise over the past 10 years or so. Back in the day, you could buy a cheap 911, but it seems those days are long gone. I wondered if you think there are an

Rarely will you find a greater story of triumph over adversity. What you’re looking at is a Porsche 993, plucked from the river bed after four-and-a-half years underwater. Marking the start of an incredible story of revival, as told by its inspiratio

Forty years ago, the prospects at Porsche seemed limitless. By 1984, every 911 sold in the US – half the entire production – was bringing Porsche over three times as many Deutschmarks as its dollar selling price. Combined with the steady revenue from

It’s difficult to believe that 2004 was two decades ago – the year when Porsche unveiled the 996’s replacement, the 997. The 996 might still be a divisive model, but the 997 wouldn’t prove to be Porsche’s ‘difficult second album’ in the modern era of

Dear Sir, I enjoyed the piece saying goodbye to the 992-generation with your four-way road trip in the Carrera T, Turbo S, Dakar and GT3 RS. Where do I sit with the 992? I’m not too sure. I like the models, but don’t necessarily love them. There’s to

We love a race car here at Spotted, and much as we like the functionality of a bare white shell with its straight-from-Weissach vibe, we’re also partial to bold and bright 911s. And is there a better combination of colour and model than the 964 in Ru

The GT2 in both 996 and 997 form is a brilliant, mind-blowing 911, but there’s no question these cars still fly under the radar in comparison to their naturally aspirated GT3 sisters. Simply put, these turbocharged behemoths just aren’t talked about

The RS moniker on Porsche dates from the 1950s, but the first Porsche RS that most think of is the celebrated Carrera 2.7 RS of 1972/3, built to qualify Porsche for Group 3 racing. Until the end of the air-cooled era, the RS remained the special race
