911 & Porsche World

It seems like only a few weeks ago we were celebrating publication of the 350th edition of 911 & Porsche World, tying in with our ever-popular annual issue dedicated to providing information helping readers navigate their way through the sales market

While the Taycan has been an excellent introduction to Porsche's programme of product electrification, and while there can be no doubt the model has brought new customers into the brand's dealer showrooms, it's a high-end sports car ranging in price

Most of the car enthusiasts I know have learned a few immutable lessons (not limited to stocking up on ten-millimetre sockets). For example, any of them who have embarked on a restoration, whether heavy or light, have learned it is both a tedious and

Damning news. “Karl, it's time to face the fact 2024 is not the recovery year we hoped it would be.” So said a senior buyer at a group of Porsche Centres I work with. Despite wanting to eagerly express my optimism, I have to concede he is at least ha

Award-winning ARIA chart-topping and Grammy nominated violinist, Patrick Roberts, has been performing for audiences across the globe for more than three decades. Hot on the heels of his hit album, Fragile (featuring Sting and Tommy Emmanuel), he's cu

The 986 and first-generation 987 Boxsters, along with their 911 counterparts, are blighted by reputation for engine failure. We're not going to pretend there aren't Porsche pilots who have suffered ownership of an early water-cooled Boxster, Cayman o

This might be a somewhat unexpected inclusion in our round-up of the Porsches you should be considering for your first taste of P-car ownership, but there's no getting away from the fact the 911 restomod scene is massive. In fact, this could be what

FROM £35k The differences of opinion between professionals approaching the Porsche scene from different angles (sales, service and insurance) is what we set out to discover when canvassing the individuals we spoke to during the course of creating thi

Another 912 in the pages of 911 & Porsche World? Absolutely! We make no apologies — long gone are the days when the 912 was dismissed as little more than a 911 wannabe, two cylinders short of the full flat-six. The 912's time has come, and not just b

FROM £25k When it comes to the first-generation 997, many would-be buyers become obsessed with the risk of engine failure. “While it's important to be aware of the pros and cons of any model you're thinking abut buying, reality is that the number of

No matter how hard you try, there's no getting away from the fact the 986 Boxster continues to offer the best bang for your buck on the Porsche scene. Prices have already bottomed out, meaning you're unlikely to be able to buy the mid-engined, two-se

There could be only one sports car for Geoff Benson. “My desire to own a 911 stretches all the way back to 1977,” he smiles. “I worked as a photographer for an advertising agency in Leeds. Launch of the 911 SC was imminent and Porsche Cars Great Brit

Based in the German municipality of Meuspath (within the district of Ahrweiler, less than forty minutes from the Nürburgring) resides one of the Porsche motorsport scene's biggest names. We are, of course, talking about Manthey Racing, the company wi

Porsche could have fitted an electric motor and high-voltage battery to the new generation of 911 to enhance performance and efficiency at the same time, but this is Porsche we're talking about. Of course, it had to introduce electrification to its c

We don't just write about and work on Porsches — we drive and live with them, too! A fantastic time at this year's 24 Hours of Nürburgring, even if the race only lasted seven hours due to inclement weather. My 997 C4S was a joy to drive to the Green

My recent trek to the Nürburgring (well, Maria Laach, about half hour east of the Green Hell, where I was attending this year's 24 Hours of Nürburgring as a guest of Falken Tyres) was the latest in a thoroughly enjoyable string of European road trips

The 991 Targa 4 and 4S were unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show in early 2014. Their release caused a stir on account of Porsche returning to the classic 'rollover hoop' characteristic of the manufacturer's semi-open-top sports cars between their intr

The 996 Turbo? In the Porsche database taking up a lot of my head space, there is something of a gap. Not quite a chasm, but definitely an experience gap. I'm more a fellow of the 997 Turbo generation, that being the force-fed model launched just as
