| | PCA—Porsche continues to capitalize on customers’ desire to be different with the new 2021 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition, a limited “lifestyle” product, the type of which Porsche said it would start building when it debuted the last 911 Speedster with a similar, optional design package in 2018.

PCA—In Episode 5 of Tech Tactics Live, we show you the right way to wash your Porsche with advice from the experts. They include Josh Poponick of Blackout Empire and Steve Hoffman, PCA Tech Committee Chair and owner of 356

| | PCA—Two of the lowest-mileage examples extant of two of the most iconic classic Porsches were recently acquired by an anonymous collector with a broad and interesting collection. They’ll eventually be displayed at The Audrain,
the Newport, Rhode Island automotive museum. The cars, a Porsche 904 Carrera GTS and a 1958 Porsche Super Speedster have just 1,762 and 10,000 miles on them respectively. They may well be the newest examples of each of these models on the planet.

| | Pirelli—The philosophy of Pirelli Collezione is simple and powerful, i.e., to make tires which are perfectly equivalent to their "ancestors" – and therefore period-correct for the vehicle on which they will be fitted – but with the material quality and safety that only modern technology can offer. It is not only a matter of reproducing a tread pattern or vintage lettering, Pirelli Collezione products feature construction solutions, such as
the cross-ply carcass of the classic Stella Bianca made using specific machinery rebuilt using time-honored know-how.

| | PCA—Jonas Reinke has had passion for Porsche since he was a kid, so he made his passion his work and became an employee at Porsche in 2009. After stints as a product manager in Germany and Australia, he took an opportunity to move to the Bay Area for work and ended up purchasing this charming 1968 912.

| | PCA—Everyone involved in PCA Orange Coast Region is familiar with Porsches and Pancakes, Porsches and Pizza; but what about Porsches and Party Pepper Uppers? It has been nearly twelve years now since my daughter and
wife were thinking of what to do in response to a Martin Luther King’s Day call for doing something for others. Out of that came the idea of making Birthday Party Kits for kids who have never had one in their entire lives. Currently, what started out as ten complete Birthday Parties in Bags for kids at the San Pedro Boys and Girls Club has grown to nearly 6,000 Birthday Parties for deserving kids throughout Southern California!

way to get started and gain skills before the big fall Series 5 kick off.

PCA—PCA National’s first foray into social media was on Facebook, and that took place approximately one decade ago. Facebook was joined shortly thereafter by PCA’s YouTube channel. Since then, PCA National has launched Instagram and Twitter channels, all of which have been
steadily gaining followers. Here’s what to expect from each, and if you haven’t checked them out lately, give them a look and follow us or subscribe.

PCA—The Mart will likely always be a work in progress. It’s a constant object of our attention to keep it as safe a space as we can, weeding out scammers and those posing as commercial sellers. Although it looks like little has changed for some time, we haven’t been ignoring the
presentation and usability of The Mart. In fact, we’ve been working on an improved version for well over a year. The online version will make its debut on June 1, and the August issue of Porsche Panorama will reflect the changes made to the print version.

Demuro via YouTube—The Porsche 968 Clubsport is a rare and unusual car — and it's unknown to most people, even Porsche enthusiasts. Today I'm reviewing the 968 Clubsport, and I'm going to show you all around the "GT3" version of the Porsche 968. I'm also going to drive the 968 Clubsport and show you what it's like on the road.

TheSmokingTire via YouTube—The Guntherwerks 400R is the ultimate interpretation of the answer to an interesting question: "What if Porsche kept the 911 air-cooled, and continued to evolve that shape and technology for 25 more years?" It has a completely carbon fiber body, a mostly
carbon fiber interior, and everything is as light as possible to get the curb weight down to 2,500 lbs. It has a 430-horsepower Rothsport Racing 4.0L air-cooled flat six; a toughened six-speed gearbox with custom ratios, and a virtually square stance, 295's up front and 315's in back, which uses a motorsport-bred electric power steering system. Overall, the product is brilliant.

| | Autocar—I’d like to pretend there’s an elegant reason why we’ve selected these three old cars with new or upgraded components – modernised classics, restomods, call them what you will – but the simple truth is that the concept is intriguing and we’d heard good things about these ones.
|
CarBuzz—As much as Porsche is associated with pin-sharp handling, the marque is just as closely tied to melodious six-cylinder engines. That all changed a few years ago when the 718 Boxster and Cayman downsized to smaller turbocharged four-pots, a decision that Porsche loyalists
have never really warmed to. In a similar concession to emissions and efficiency regulations, Mercedes is also set to drop the V8 from several AMGs.

| | Autocar—You’re looking at the quickest car in the world.
Other exotic machines have higher top speeds than this Porsche’s conservative claim of 205mph. And some lightweight, high-downforce specials generate greater cornering forces. But point-to-point, on our unpredictable roads, I’m confident the only thing that can live with the new 911 Turbo S is another 911 Turbo S.favorite historically significant speed machines.

DeMuro via YouTube—The new 2019 Porsche 935 is a track monster -- and an incredibly rare and special car. The 935 is worth around $1 million, and it's one of just a few dozen on the planet. Today I'm reviewing the Porsche 935, and I'm going to show you around one of the rarest, most expensive track cars in the world.

Car and Driver—As a luxury SUV, the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid excels on multiple fronts. It's quick and gets decent fuel economy—when it's burning any fossil fuel at all. It handles well, yet it won't beat you up over poorly maintained pavement. It hints at environmental bona fides
without shouting about it. And it still drives like a Porsche, albeit one that weighs 5389 pounds.

| | Autocar—2017 saw Porsche's 991-generation 911 recieve the GT2 treatment. Here's what we made of it at the time:
The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS becomes the latest in a line of five ‘GT2’ namesakes, the first of which appeared in 1995 as a homologation version of the 993-generation 911. That original version’s 444bhp would hardly worry a modern super-sports car driver, although it still earned itself the legendary nickname ‘Widowmaker’.

Car and Driver—From the August 2003 issue of Car and Driver.
We like numbers. Numbers are our friends. Numbers sing arias of irrefutable fact that soar above murky choruses of subjectivity, spin, and slant. Numbers can baby-sit our kids anytime.

| | Reuters—Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) Chief Executive (CEO) Herbert Diess will promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to become head of the VW brand as part of a broader management reshuffle, Auto Motor und Sport said on Tuesday citing company sources.
