Here’s your first look at the new Porsche Macan SUV. It’s built on the same platform as the Audi Q5, but as you can see strikes a strong resemblance to Porsche’s bigger Cayenne. If you check out the pics from Piston Spy though, you’ll see the makings of a more unique shape for the Macan. [...]

It’s almost time for the 2012 Nürburgring 24 hour race—one of the world’s truly great endurance races. For us, it’s a bigger highlight than the Le Mans 24 hour. So, in less than two weeks from now we’ll be conducting a vigil here at AUSmotive HQ while the race is underway (19–20 May). To prepare [...]

The above image is a rendering of a new Porsche model known as the 960. It’s been nicknamed internally as “Fefi” and it’s aimed squarely at the Ferrari 458 Italia. “Fefi” meaning Ferrari fighter for those interested. Scouting the web for details of the 960 brings more questions than answers. As you can see the [...]

Chris Harris has just filed a video that must remind him, and certainly us, what a lucky sod he is sometimes. Never mind he has awoken his own Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 from its winter slumber to take part in this three-piece fantasy; the other two cars are just as fine and just as [...]

You might think a video comparing a 2013 Nissan GT-R Black Edition with a 997 Porsche 911 Turbo S would be pretty entertaining. Especially when you consider the test involves some stunning mountain roads before a balls out drag race on an empty airfield. Well, we’re not so sure. Take a look at Jonny Lieberman’s [...]

Porsche hopes its mid-size Macan SUV will discover a new high-powered nook to position itself when they stuff a 370hp (275kW) turbocharged engine under the bonnet, Autocar reports. Currently there’s no über powerful products in the Macan’s class, although there have been reports of a 300hp Audi Q3 RS versus 320hp BMW X1 M battle [...]

We stumbled across these videos featuring all-round motoring legend Walter Röhrl. Of course he talks a lot about Porsches (he’s at the wheel of a 997 GT3), but you may be surprised to learn Walter is not too shy to point out an interesting horse when he sees one. The clips are a few years [...]

While the international motoring eye will be focused on this weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix, spare a thought for the homegrown wannabes, couldbes and rising stars who will kick start their racing year in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Australia in Mallala. The GT3 Cup Challenge is a level below Carrera Cup racing and offers a [...]

Porsche has just announced they will be taking over the running of the Nardo proving ground in May. It’s not immediately clear if they have bought the facility or entered into a long-term management contract. Although, the former option seems a distinct possibility. The warmer climate of southern Italy should allow for year-long use. Matthias [...]

En route to film his latest piece for Drive, Chris Harris shares with the viewer his reasons for buying a modest diesel-powered Volkswagen Passat Estate. A bit later in the film he reveals the recipe for the driving he enjoys the most. As it turns out it’s a Porsche 911—no real surprise there—but it’s not [...]

The 991-based Porsche 911 GT3 won’t be officially revealed until next year. That gives plenty of time for rendering gurus like Wild Speed to come up with interpretations of what the new GT3 might look like. Based on the spy pics available to date the front view is probably pretty close to the mark, but [...]

To honour the father of the original 911, FA Porsche (1935–2012), and on the occasion of its 2012 World Performance Car title, here’s a gallery of 50 images showcasing the 991 Porsche 911.

In happier news, the 991 Porsche 911 has just been awarded the 2012 World Performance Car title at the New York International Auto Show. Matthias Müller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Porsche AG has expressed his joy at the 911′s latest award: “The new 911 received its first award only a short time after [...]

Sad news the morning with confirmation that Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, eldest son of Ferry Porsche, has passed away. He was 76-years-old. Designer of the original Porsche 911 and founder of the Porsche Design Studio he leaves behind an enduring legacy. Matthias Müller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Porsche AG, paid his respects to Ferdinand [...]

Fifth Gear luminary Tiff Needell moonlights for Evo in his latest track comparison. His weapons of choice are the MY12 Nissan GT-R and the 991 Porsche 911 Carrera S. Nissan v Porsche, it’s the Ford v Holden of the supercar world. In many respects it’s an astonishing question to ask, but can the 394bhp normally [...]
