Although the Porsche Company was founded in 1931, the first Porsche car developed wasn't until 1939. Proud of their German Heritage, Porsche continues to be one of the most prestigious car makers and also the world's largest race car manufacturer. In Australia there are 5 different models available including the 718 Boxster and Cayman, Panamera, Cayenne, Macan, and 911. Porsche is part of the Volkswagen Group.
A wonderful track-focussed driver’s car is even quicker now with the dual-clutch PDK transmission choice. But is it more appealing, more involving, more fun?
Like an outlaw on the run, Porsche's naturally aspirated, regulation-defying 911 GT3 may be on borrowed time.
Targa-style tarmac road events are massive fun, but with ever-lurking danger being part of the high-speed menu. This was emphasised during the 2021 Targa Tasmania with the tragic deaths of three competitors. Now questions are being asked…...
Everything purists could want: naturally aspirated, mid-engined, and manual. So why doesn't the Cayman GTS delight like it should?
NOTE: CHANGE THE PLAYBACK RES TO 5K for BEST EXPERIENCE! A quick run up Chum Creek Road in Victoria's Yarra Valley. If it looks familiar, these are the roads that formed the inspiration to the landscape in the Forza Horizon 3 XBox Game! ...
Turbo – it’s a word that carries a sense of reverence whenever it sits on the shapely derriere of a Porsche – and in the case of the 2021 911 Porsche Turbo, it also asks a question that relates to another letter. Do you really ‘need’ an ‘S’… ?
The perfect Porsche? I know what you're thinking. How is a 718 Cayman the perfect Porsche? I mean, this is a 982, not a 992. And when you consider that when the 718 launched, it was hardly met with huge fan praise because they swapped out the traditional flat-six for a turbocharged four. Although, that's not a problem we're faced with in this car...
Porsche close down the third runway at Sydney International Airport so we can experience launch control in the new 911 Turbo S.

Godzilla takes on the hero of Stuttgart in this Japan v Germany face-off.
The Macan Turbo and X3 M may wear practical SUV bodies, but are infused with the sports car DNA that made legends of the Porsche and BMW brands. So, which is the most worthy of the performance badges they wear?
An all-electric Porsche Boxster concept is set to preview the future of the sports car, company insiders have revealed. According to Car and Driver, news of the 718 Boxster electric vehicle (EV) concept has come directly from Porsche executive board member for development, Michael Steiner...
A fully-electric 2023 Porsche Macan SUV is undergoing testing in Germany, the company has revealed. Porsche released images of the battery-powered Macan being driven at its development facility in Weissach, Germany, which will share its underpinnings with the Audi Q6 E-Tron, due in late 2022...
Sales of electric vehicles in Australia are on track to eclipse 2020 figures by the middle of this year, according to latest data from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI).

The Porsche Taycan electric sedan – which two months ago topped sales charts outright in the ‘Large Car over $70,000’ category – dropped to third place during April 2021, behind the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (106) and BMW 5 Series (69). Just 48 examples of the zero-emission four-door were reported as sold, down from an impressive 161 the month prior...
I find that Porsche ownership is a strange thing. As a brand, they sit toeing the line of attainable sports cars and all-out Supercars. I loved my 911 for its uniqueness in that sense. Usable, rewarding and a certain feel that you just can’t match with other marques. But when I took the 718 out, I was left feeling a little empty...
Unfortunately I no longer own my 1986 944 Turbo as I sold it almost ten years ago. And as it so often happens, what was once considered quite an unfashionable Porsche is now becoming quite a sought-after model. Thinking about the 944 in this way I do feel pangs of regret that I no longer have it...
We have had our base-model Macan (or Macan as I will refer to it) for around 12 months. The first thing I learnt when looking at this car is that Porsche don’t need to pay a marketing department – the owners and enthusiasts more than sort that out! Just check out on forums and reviews to see the passion and the push to spend up big...
I was drawn to this car for the space. The size was perfect to meet my current needs, but after that the positives just kept coming. When I first test drove the car I expected it to feel like a truck. A big, 8-speed, diesel SUV would surely be loud and heavy. That was a big mistake. I was shocked at how quiet it was (not silent, but quiet for a diesel), and it didn't feel heavy at all...
