The Value of a Supercar Brand

What do you get once you’ve built a successful supercar brand like Porsche? A boatload of manufacturers who want to use your brand status to bolster a special edition product. And guess what? I’m the sucker they’re targeting. I don’t know what it is about supercar branded products, but many of them trigger some kind […]

The Perfect Start to Your New Porsche’s Life

This will probably fall more into the dreaming category for most of us at this point, but it’s still fun to think of the possibilities. To me, this is the ultimate start to a new Porsche’s life. Imagine placing your order for your brand new Porsche, we’ll use a 911 GT3 as an example since […]

Porsche Tuners List

I ran across a handy directory while doing research for the 7 Days of Porsche Tuners special I started late last month. I thought I’d throw it up here in case any of you have interest and want to do a little exploration on your own. You can check it out on Planet Porsche: PlanetPorsche.com […]

Porsche Factory Programs for the Ultimate Porsche

Porsche has long offered factory customizations for it’s cars. I’m pretty sure they’ll do about anything to a car, short of gold plating it (although I’m guessing if you walked in with a blank check they’d probably undertake that as well). One of my favorite customizations was the factory slant nose 911 conversions from the […]

Porsche 911 Buyer’s Guide Review

I just finished reading through the Porsche 911 Buyer’s Guide by Randy Leffingwell. I’ve actually had the book for a while, but previously only referred to particular sections related to 911s I was considering buying. Now you may write this off as not applicable to you unless you’re in the market for a used 911. […]

Need for Speed ProStreet – A Little Slice of Video Game Heaven

Hide-A-Porsche: Ultimate Underground Parking

A solution to the “Where do I park my Porsche?” question has been developed by a fella living in west London. It’s a combination of a hide-a-key and car lift like you’d find in your garage to park more than one car in a single bay. I call it the Hide-A-Porsche. Have a look: Now […]

Porsche Keychain FINALLY Gets Put To Use

There used to be a store in a local mall that carried nearly every enthusiast accessory you could think of for cars. Keychains, leather goods, driving gloves, driving shoes, model cars, posters, signs, etc. You name it, they most likely had it. Back in the day (too long ago), that was one of my favorite […]
