You may have noticed we’re suckers for a Porsche 911 video here at AUSmotive. With this clip Porsche tugs at the heartstrings by taking us back to where it all began, before bringing us back to the present day with the 991 911.
Porsche will become the next manufacturer to use a triple turbo engine, Autocar reports. BMW confirmed their tri-turbo future last week when they announced the first cars in the new M Performance range. Now we learn the new 911 Turbo will mate a small turbocharger to its 3.8 litre flat six to provide power low [...]
It’s nearly two weeks since official images of the 981 Boxster were revealed by Porsche. Like us, you have probably spent a fair bit of time wondering what the new Cayman would look like. Well wonder no more. Thanks to Wild Speed via Porsche Boost we bring you a couple of renderings of the next-gen [...]
Graphic design and racing cars. They’re two things we very much like here at AUSmotive, so a book about both has to be a winner, surely. We think so. Sven Voelker is the man we have to thank for the book Go faster: The graphic design of racing cars. He explains his thoughts and a [...]
The new 991 Porsche 911 is going to be an absolute cracker. Everyone knows it. If we had our way we’d have put our money down, signed off on the order and be counting dow the days until our new 911 Carrera S arrived. Sadly we have to make do with official videos from Porsche. [...]
Here we have a selection of images from the floor of the Detroit Motor Show, or more correctly, the North American International Auto Show. Unlike Tokyo late last year there’s a noticeable lack of weird and wonderful concept creations, but we certainly applaud the appearance of the Honda NSX Concept. It’s easily the clear star [...]
Here’s a nice feelgood piece for you with footage of the late Jason Richards driving the 1987 Le-Mans winning Porsche 962 around Eastern Creek at last year’s Muscle Car Masters event. We’re not exactly sure what the circumstances were that led to Jason getting some seat time in one of motorsport’s most iconic cars, we [...]
Today Porsche has revealed details for its new Porsche Boxster. They say its the most comprehensive generation change yet for the Boxtser. That’s not that hard given this is just the third-generation. That aside, Porsche should be congratulated for lowering the weight across the board for the new 981 model. Even if they’re a bit [...]
Porsche starts the new year by giving the friendly Scot Gordon Robertson, from the Porsche Experience Centre Silverstone, the keys to the new 991 911 Carrera S. He obliges by getting tail happy and talking us through some of the advancements of the new model. Remember, the 991 is expected in Australia by March and [...]
Porsche revealed details of its new 911 Carrera Cabriolet late last year, but the car’s first public showing is taking place right now in Detroit. Matthias Müller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Porsche AG, was on hand for the official duties and says it’s the best 911 cabrio ever, “Our engineers have built the [...]
We’ve already seen two good previews of the exterior of the next-generation Porsche Boxster (981). And now, for the first time, we can take a look inside. While Stuttgart is making moves to further distance the Boxster from 911 on the outside, it appears on the inside they’re doing more to align the two models. [...]
Porsche continues its return to Le Mans series with a look back at the 1980s. Perhaps the best Le Mans racecars of all time, the 956 and 962, enjoyed unprecedented success during the decade. The 936 started it all, winning the race in 1981 and starting a sequence of victories for Porsche that lasted until [...]
Earlier talk of the new Porsche Boxster says we should be expecting an official reveal next month when the bright lights are shining on Detroit. We’ve already seen what is believed to be an undisguised 2012 model Boxster, which clearly shows the more dramatic side air intakes behind the rear doors. Otherwise those pics were [...]
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 will rightly be considered as one of the finest iterations of the 997 model range. Of course, a 911 is not all about outright acceleration. Although, as this clip shows, the RS 4.0 has plenty of up and go. But what about its braking performance? Well, check the short [...]
The Porsche 911 is the most reliable used buy according to a recent Autobild TÜV report published in Germany. Data from reports on cars of seven, nine and 11 years of age were collated and Porsche’s 911 proved to have the fewest defects of all the cars tested. In fact, five of the top 10 [...]
