Awesome Porsche

Vietnam-based custom sneaker shop Bigassteam knocked it out of the park with their latest creation. They dressed up the Puma Speedcat as a racing shoe inspired by the iconic Le Mans livery of the legendary Porsche 917. Aside from the bright red upper, number 23, and retro logos, the shoe features a sick tread-patterned heel.

Driver Romain Dumas took a Porsche 911 higher than anyone has ever driven a vehicle on Earth. But taking a sports car to the 22,000-foot summit of the Ojos del Salado volcano was no easy task. TangentVector’s 50-minute film Edith: Volcano Ascent documents this extraordinary feat and will debut on 8.16.24 during Monterey Car Week at the Golden State Theater.

The hybrid version of the Porsche Panamera brings incredible power. Its all-wheel drivetrain offers 771 hp and 737 lb-ft. of torque. It has a top speed of 202 mph, does 0-to-60 in 2.8 seconds, and holds the record for the fastest Nürburgring lap for an executive-class sedan. It also has adaptive air suspension, rear-axle steering, and torque vectoring.

Every time we’ve tried making something with one of those 3D drawing pens, we end up with a messy blob of plastic. But with enough patience, effort, and skill, it’s possible to make incredible things. Momandeum shows how they created a unique 2-door Porsche Taycan model using a Sanago 3D pen. It took about 40 days to complete the sculpture.

Porsche pinky promises that their 2025 Taycan all-electric models will be the quickest production cars they’ve ever made. The rear-wheel drive Taycan sedan now sprints 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds (0.6 seconds quicker than before) while the Taycan Turbo S sedan can hit 60 mph in 2.3 seconds (0.3 seconds quicker).

Porsche expands its Macan SUV family with two battery-electric models. The Macan 4’s motors produce 402 hp and 479 lb-ft. of torque – with a 0-to-60 time of 4.9 seconds. The high-performance Macan Turbo makes 630 hp and 833 lb-ft. and does 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds. A 100 kWh battery supports DC fast-charging from 10 to 80% in 21 minutes. Macan configurator here.

Playforever makes some of the coolest toy cars you can buy. Their latest creation is the Luft, a wonderful little drop-top inspired by a 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa. The 6.9″ long 2-seater features the iconic Targa band and a right-hand driver wearing a shiny helmet. It’s made from ABS plastic and suitable for ages 1+.

The limited-edition Porsche 911 S/T packs the same high-revving flat-6 as the GT3 RS, but it’s tuned for the street. It has an understated design, and it’s the lightest 992-series 911 to date weighing just 3056 lb thanks to magnesium wheels and a carbon fiber reinforced plastic hood, roof, front fenders, and doors. There’s also a matching Porsche Design watch.

Porsche Design celebrates 60 years of the Porsche 911 with the Chronograph 1 – 911 S/T. The $13,500 watch is exclusively for buyers of the 518 horsepower Porsche 911 S/T. It has a high-accuracy WERK 01.240 caliber movement, a sandblasted titanium case, a high-contrast black dial, and a winding rotor inspired by 911 S/T’s alloy wheels. Limited to just 1963 pieces.

Porsche’s concept electric hypercar picks up where the 918 Spyder left off. Its sleek exoskeleton is made from carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, with scissor doors and curved glass surrounding its cockpit. The design showcases elements inspired by Porsche race cars and would aim to be the fastest road-legal car around the Nürburgring if produced.

Porsche is showing off photos of an incredibly cool custom 911. This lifted, AWD version of their sports coupe is outfitted for rallying across some of the world’s most treacherous terrain. After more than 300,000 miles of testing in extreme conditions and 6,000 miles off-road, the car will debut at the 2022 L.A. Auto Show.

When there’s caked-on dirt and grime on the underside of a car, it can be difficult to get it all off. I Am Detailing shows off an awesome cleaning technology that blasts surfaces with dry ice pellets to remove dirt instantly without the abrasiveness of other cleaning methods. Their subject: a gorgeous green 1971 Porsche 911T.

Pro rally driver Ken Block is road-testing his insane Hoonipigasus. The 1,400 hp AWD Porsche SVRSR racecar is a widebody pink monster built for the 100th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado on June 26. The brutal 12.42-mile course has 156 turns and an elevation gain of 4,725 feet, with the finish line at 14,115 feet.

AltDynamic’s Speedform pays homage to the iconic and curvaceous profile of the classic Porsche 911. Each one is machined from a solid block of aluminum and weighs in at a substantial 1.1 lb. The 6.5″ long sculpture is available in raw aluminum or one of several vibrant anodized colors. We’re partial to the blue, red, and orange.

Porsche takes us inside of one of its factories to see how they create a bespoke 911 GT3 from their Exclusive Manufaktur division. It takes two days to build a car from start to finish, with 1500 workers touching each vehicle along the way. This particular specimen is finished in a gorgeous Gold Bronze Metallic paint.

Slotted between the Taycan 4S and Turbo S, the Porsche’s latest EV makes 590 hp and launches from 0-to-60 in 3.5 seconds. It’s tricked out with a SportDesign front end and side skirts, black trim, and 20-inch wheels in satin black. Inside, you’ll find ample amounts of Race-Tex suede. It’s also available as a Sport Turismo wagon.
