Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991.2) Review: The Ultimate Street Racer

First Impressions of the 991.2 GT3 RS There’s one thing about the 991-generation GT3 RS that has always stayed with me. When the original 991 GT3 RS debuted, I watched an episode of Car Graphic TV in which presenter Tetsuya Matsutani took it for a drive. Matsutani is known for his measured, composed assessments, but that day he reported back with a huge grin—the kind you rarely see. The moment remains vivid in my memory....

Porsche 991.1 Black Edition Review: How Does It Ride on 20-Inch Turbo Wheels Without PASM?

What Is the 991.1 Black Edition? The Black Edition arrived as the final model of the early 991.1 Porsche 911 Carrera. Positioned as a special edition ahead of the transition to the 991.2, it was a fitting tribute to the end of the model run. Under the hood is a 3.4-liter flat-six producing 350 PS and 390 Nm of torque. Buyers could choose between a seven-speed manual and seven-speed PDK, with the PDK-equipped car reaching...

Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe Review: The Appeal and Reality of the V8, Compared with the Bas...

I’ve recently been driving a Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe. It’s an early 9YA-generation Cayenne, from before the current model switched to a fully digital instrument cluster. The tachometer is the only analog gauge. Finished in Crayon, it has sport seats upholstered in a mix of Alcantara and leather from the GTS Interior Package. The coupe’s flowing profile is undeniably sporty and beautiful. But get behind the wheel, and this GTS reveals a few surprises. Here’s...

992 Porsche 911 Turbo Review: The Appeal of “Nothing Added, Nothing Taken Away”

A superbly equipped 911 with nearly $50,000 in options The 992-generation 911 Turbo I drove was, in every sense, loaded with options. It had nearly $50,000 worth of extras, with a sophisticated interior and exterior pairing of Crayon and Slate Grey. The highlights included a sunroof, sports exhaust, 21-inch 911 Turbo Exclusive Design wheels, black Matrix LED headlights, and Exclusive Design taillights—a specification that looked every bit as premium as it felt. Inside, it was...

Porsche 911 Carrera T (992.2) Review: How It Compares with the 992.1

The Evolved Carrera T: Exterior and Interior Changes I had the chance to drive the Porsche 911 Carrera T in its updated 992.2 form, and I was also able to drive the earlier 992.1 model back to back. That made it possible to compare the new car with the previous one and get a clear sense of what’s changed. Starting with the exterior, it’s hard to spot the difference between the 992.1 and 992.2 at...

New Porsche 911 Carrera (992.2) Review: Exploring the Evolution of the Base Model

First Impressions of the 992.2: The 911’s Raw-Edged Ride Lives On My wife and I had the chance to drive the latest 992-generation Porsche 911 Carrera—the facelifted 992.2. The first thing that stood out was how quiet it was at idle after starting the engine. There was less vibration than I expected, and the car felt remarkably subdued. Once we were out on the streets and had driven a little, one thing was clear: the...

My wife and I recently had the chance to test-drive the new Macan EV—the base Macan. Having driven a range of Porsches over the years, I was curious to see where this all-electric Macan would fit in the lineup. After getting behind the wheel, I was surprised by just how well it was put together. In this review, I’ll take a closer look at the Macan EV’s driving character and features, including how it compares...

Porsche Taycan Turbo GT: A GT Model That Doesn’t Compromise in Everyday Driving

Porsche’s Trim Strategy: Every Model Has Its Own Distinct Character I’d like to share what I’ve learned since taking delivery of my Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, and where I think it fits in the Porsche lineup. One of Porsche’s defining traits is the wide range of trims available for each model. Take the 911, for example. Its lineup spans the Carrera base model, Carrera S, Carrera GTS, Turbo, Turbo S, GT3, GT3 RS, and GT2...
