Singer Vehicle Design has taken the classic Porsche 911 and given it the bleeding guts out of a newer Stuttgart creation. The team keeps the car’s roof line and everything from the windshield forward, but the engine bay goes through a little surgery to accommodate a few modifications. Singer says the company provides reinforcements all [...]
Looks like Porsche’s out to get a taste of the retro pie with its new, limited edition 2010 911 Sport Classic. Inspired by the ghosts of Porsche past, the car rocks some seriously sexy-wide hips, a double bubble roof and Fuchs-style rollers. If that’s not enough to get your tongue a waggin’ there’s a [...]
It would seem the good boys and gals at Stuttgart have gotten tired of putting up with Nissan playing in their back yard, and in a move to prove once and for all there is no sports car before the 911, have revealed the 2010 911 Turbo. Powered by a 3.8-liter flat six borrowed from [...]
There’s just something undeniably sexy about a dirty Porsche. It’s the kind of thing that makes collectors wince and the eyes of concourse judges moisten in agony. It makes me smile. Take the 911 SC in the photo above, for example. The car participated in this year’s iteration of the 2009 Rally Costa Brava Historic [...]
BMW’s fabled art cars hold a special place in our Fiendish hearts – right beside Locost Se7ens and vintage 911s. For those troopers that have hung around since our debut back in May of last year, you may remember one of our first Top 5’s dedicated solely to the BMW art car phenomenon. If you’ve [...]
I often think Boston has the worst fans in all of professional sports. And I’m often wrong. Check out these inebriated low lives beating up a hapless 911 that they feel belongs to an Eagles fan. Look, if you lose to the can’t-break-.500 Iggles — at home – it sure as hell ain’t a Porsche’s fault, even if [...]
Hurry, hurry. Step right up and plop down “just” $12,500 for an honest to goodness 911. A 911T, at that. Wait, isn’t the T (or “Touring”) the base model. It is, but don’t let that stop you. See, the T was introduced in 1968 with only 110 hp out of 2.0-liters. But, by 1970 displacement [...]
A not-so-secret secret about me is that I don’t like the Porsche 911. The car just doesn’t do anything for me. On the other hand, the front-engined Porsches? Love ‘em (I also love the Cayman). The 928 was the king Porsche in performance, if not image in the 1980s. The big grand-touring setup was unusually [...]
For the Fiends at 9ff there’s no such thing as too much horsepower. Take the company’s latest foray into the Porsche 911 for example. The guys and gals have managed to pull a staggering 1,300 horses out of a 4.0-liter twin-turbo flat six. All that power in a 2,500 lb ride makes 0-60 times kind [...]
The Porsche 959 holds legend as being one of the original supercars. Like grandpa Mel says, it’s good to be the king. The 959 has great Group B homologation history. It’s also the reason why Porsches have AWD, especially the Turbo models. They had 450 horsepower out of the factory, but many of the 200 [...]
