Recently, I was discussing with a colleague recently Porsche's press fleet, and how the 997s are always fitted with the optional 19-inch wheels and never the standard 18-inch items.

John Boggiano bemoans the death of the spare wheel If you’ve recently bought yourself a brand new 911, you have my commiserations. Oh, of course you have my congratulations too; great car, astute choice, wonderful taste, all that sort of thing. But, sad to say, commiserations are certainly due to you ...

Porsche today announced a new model and the return of a well-loved name – 912. As with the original 912 of the 1960s, this new car has a 911 bodyshell and is powered by a four-cylinder engine. This all-new 2.5-litre unit is essentially a cutdown version of the current 3.6-litre flat-six ...
