Porsche: View From The Cultural Rearview Mirror

This is probably going to seem a bit strange, but I ran across 2 cool press releases today that I found to be pretty interesting. Rather than try and do some fancy re-write, I’m just posting them up in their original form here. The first is a look at Porsche’s representation in art, film and […]

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Description Video

This is a great video with a semi-detailed description of the features of the new Porsche 911 GT2 RS. There’s some good driving footage with an interesting perspective camera mounted on the roof of the car. That’s one heck of a tight track.

Fanatec Does The Racing Wheel ONE BETTER!!!

You may recall my review about a month and a half ago of the Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S Racing Wheel. If you didn’t catch the drift of my review, I absolutely LOVED the wheel setup and felt it was the best I’d ever tried. As crazy as this may sound, Fanatec has outdone themselves […]

Gregg, one of our PorschePerfect.com readers, sent me a heads up about this video on YouTube. It’s a hot lap by Walter Rohrl in wet conditions at the Nurburgring Track. Another behind the driver perspective. I love the sound from the cockpit.
