In terms of engineering and construction, the 964 and 997 are chalk and cheese on the 911 pantheon. Thanks to their individual attributes, however, both command a similarly powerful fan base. If you have a mind to, these Porsches can also be significantly modified, as we discovered on an Essex airfield shakedown
In recent years we’ve seen various 911s in custom safari trim. However, none of these were ever based on the 996. That changed when one South African enthusiast decided to build his own… 996
Seamlessly merging influences from Porsche’s 70s motorsport programme, Eugene Metzger’s resto-modded 911 SC is far more personal than a tribute to the golden era of sports car racing.
The humble, yet charming 914 has hidden depths, not least its mid-engined configuration, but in the tender care of Patrick Motorsports — and in six-cylinder guise — the boxy two-seater becomes a hardcore racer…
Is it a restomod? Not really — some of its original kit is still in place. A backdate? Kind of. It’s been a forward-date in its lifetime, too. Essentially, you’re looking at a hot rod capturing the spirit of a narrow band of competition cars in the 911’s evolutionary progression…

Chasing the sunset. Few classic cars are better equipped for a sunset drive along South Africa's west coast than a Porsche Targa. Total 911 rides out of Cape Town for an eveningwith a 1969 E.

With bomb-proof build quality, the Carrera 3.2 represents the bedrock of 911 history, combining classic looks and driving traits with a relatively straightforward maintenance regime. Now, three decades on, even the best examples need restorative measures. Who better to demonstrate than a leading conservator of the breed?!
The arrival of the Taycan GTS had an air of inevitability about it. Of course, Porsche needed to fill the gap between the Taycan Turbo and the Taycan 4S, and the perfect peg for that particular hole was a driver orientated GTS model. Only slightly less predictable was the launch of the new Taycan Sport Turismo
Raymond Boutinaud recently restored the one and only 928 to contest the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We take a trip to his workshop and check out this legendary ‘land shark’ for ourselves
This year, the 928 celebrates its forty-fifth anniversary. At the same time, its smaller-engined stablemate, the 944, reaches its fortieth birthday. We hit the open roads of the Staffordshire Moorlands for a play with two 1980s sports car icons: the 928 S4 and the 944 S2…
