Sportec – Swiss Missile Producer

There’s a reason Sportec is considered one of the best, if not THE best Porsche tuner in Switzerland. Their designs are well thought out and their components are of the highest caliber in both fit and finish. The 911 GT2 based car pictured above was dubbed “The Swiss Missle” by one blogger. The Performance stage […]

Techart’s Rolling Art Gallery

I first saw a Techart treatment on a 1982 911 SC (I think I’ve actually had it in one of my Tempting Porsche installments). The owner had applied a 1997 993 Turbo S factory OEM steel body conversion to the car and it looked amazing. Just like a late 90’s 911 Turbo. As it turns […]

Mansory – Learn from the Swiss

It’s not a surprise with quality and designs like the one above that Mansory is one of Germany’s top tuners of Porsche cars. They have a broad range of capabilities that stretch from the subtle to a step above insane. Mansory recently acquired Rinspeed’s Porsche tuning division. They have continued the tradition of Rinspeed quality […]

Are You A Flasher?

I’m a guy who likes comraderee (WordPress is trying to tell me that’s not even a word!). One of the mystiques of the Porsche brand, for me, was the kinship that you share with other Porsche owners. The one or two finger wave. Flashing your lights. Giving a little honk on the horn. It was […]

9ff – Fastest Porsche Tuner

Today’s 7 Days of Porsche Tuners features 9ff. I didn’t realize it until I started looking for more info on 9ff, but they have some pretty amazing accomplishments racked up. The biggest so far has to be the world record for “fastest streetlegal car in the world”. They accomplished this, for the second time, in […]

Gemballa: Super Tuner for the Porsche Stars

I’m continually amazed at what people will spend on a car like a brand new Porsche, only to dump sometimes 2x or 3x more into customizing the car. I haven’t ever really gotten into the gross excess that a lot of tuners tend to bolt on to cars to justify the outrageous prices they charge. […]

Porsche 914 Comeback???

I’ve heard rumblings (along with grumblings) about a possible comeback of the Porsche 914. And by comeback, I mean re-release. It kind of reminds me of the year we started seeing 280Z’s start to disappear. What I heard was that Nissan was buying them up to rebuild, then re-release. Kind of a cool concept although […]

Porsche 911 Turbo Video w/a Little Something “Special”

Before you watch this video, if you’re prone to motion sickness, you may want to grab the trash can and have it handy. No need to watch this one all the way through, unless you’re really enthralled with the chase. The reason I had to put this one up was because of the Knight Rider […]

Weekly Porsche Wrap

Production Panamera – We’ve seen our fair share of photos around, but this is an actual production trim Panamera. Pretty surreal, at least in my opinion, to be seeing these on the street. Kind of reminds me of some chop shop’s version of a stretch 911 limo. I’m definitely excited, but the jury is still […]

Porsche Legends – Part 1

You may have already gathered this about me, but if not, I’ll come right out and admit it: I’m a bit of a dreamer. I suppose that’s why I enjoy the process of coming up with ideas, trying to figure out how to do things differently or better, etc. I have an easy time buying […]
