Phoenix summer dog days did not stop Porsches coming out to Scottsdale in droves as the monthly Cars and Coffee car show featured the legendary German marquee. Things will be a lot cooler in Monterey, California this coming week for car enthusiasts, but the Arizona crowd showed it can take the heat. Here are a few cool cars we saw.

Sometimes we need some familiarity. We need solid ground to stand on. Thank goodness for MotorWeek. It’s been exactly the same for 35 years. We live in a world that is changing faster than the time it takes to swipe left on Tinder. New emojis come out all the time, Internet videos go viral and […]

Many people regard the original Porsche 911 as one of the most fantastic sports cars of all time. It’s steering was light and talkative, its handling was intuitive, and its sound was as sonorous as a siren’s. And that was just the road car. Racer versions had their dials turned up to eleven and then […]

13 Stringent fuel and safety regulations restricted cars to rubberized boxes with wheezy power Car design was at an all time low in the 80s, especially for America. Stringent fuel and safety regulations restricted cars to rubberized boxes with wheezy power. There was barely any passion in automotive design, only necessity. That’s why Porsche was […]

A day of honing virtually worthless skills in the pursuit of unachievable perfection, or at least to be half as good as you are at Forza. Track days are the best kinds of days. A day of free will expressions of speed and wasteful spending. A day of honing virtually worthless skills in the pursuit […]
The Porsche 911 is the best example of skyrocketing classic car prices. Porsche 911s that were once as low as $14,000 are now scratching $40,000. Ones that were once $40k are racing towards $200,000 at least. Which is strange because the Porsche 911 is one of the most popular sports cars of all time, they […]

Porsche release a video this week to tease the reveal of the next-generation Panamera luxury sedan. The video does not show the new Panamera at all, rather it builds anticipation for the reveal by recounting the revolutionary ideas that made Porsche what it is today, despite critics through history calling the ideas “madness.”
And that’s the main problem with the video, because there is nothing about a conventional luxury sedan with an unremarkable powertrain that could be considered “madness.”
Porsche has had revolutionary ideas in the past, ones that could still be considered today as extremely risky to say the least. It made a car with an air-cooled engine mounted at the back one of the most successful and best selling sports cars of all time. It was one of the first automakers to experiment with turbocharged engines for road cars. It made a hybrid-hypercar one of the most sought after vehicles on the market today.
But, that doesn’t mean everything Porsche does is extraordinary. This new Panamera will be nothing special. It will be a good car, no doubt. But, it will be forgotten in the annals of Porsche history, along with that stupid 2.0-liter turbo four Macan. Seriously, name an automaker that isn’t making a small, four-cylinder turbocharged crossover SUV.

8 Journalists are getting their first look at the new limited-edition Porsche 911R, a 991 GT3 with no aero and a 7-speed manual gearbox made to appease Porsche ‘purists.’ But for a car set up specifically to be an engaging drive on winding mountain roads, it’s sometimes easy to neglect the fact that the 911R […]

4 Both the 2016 Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix concluded on Sunday, giving us some of motorsport’s best racing. But arguably even better racing is yet to take place. The 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans is set to take place from Saturday June 18 to Sunday June 19. A full 24 hours […]

3 This is one of the saddest videos I’ve ever seen. Don’t worry, no one wrecks or blows up. Really no one does anything at all. Just two well off guys sitting in chairs trying to stroke their ego. Sure, it is fun to see and hear these crazy machines perform but the matchup was […]
8 There were a lot of wars being fought in 1983 cinema. The Empire vs the Rebel alliance, Tom Cruise vs pants, Scarface vs…people who didn’t say hello to his little friend. A lot was happening so it is understandable that some have forgotten about this unique battle. What made the comparison of the 928 […]

WE DID IT! For the first time in American history we sewed another dude’s brat on to some bloke in Boston. This sort of procedure has existed for many years in garages across the country so to celebrate a modern medical miracle and newfound hope for men driving mini vans and lifted trucks we thought it would be fun to go car shopping. We want to find the best cars for sale that have been reborn down under.
Rules:
Must have an engine swap
Must have recently been sold or has an asking price of $60,000 or less which is around the price of a surrogate sausage.
Let us know what you find, and if you could do any engine swap into your current car, what would it be?
