PCA—It was dark. Really dark. The extra lights mounted on the grille did a decent job of lighting up the road ahead, but with no moon and little ambient light from the surrounding countryside, I had the sensation of driving through a deep, dark tunnel. It was a little unnerving. | | |

CarScoops—Porsche's best-selling model will be discontinued from markets within the European Union in spring of 2024. | | |
|

|
Jalopnik—One of one currently in the U.S. and one of 70 worldwide, this is a seriously special car. | |
Hagerty—Road-registering Porsches that aren’t really supposed be on the road at all is a Bruce Canepa speciality. The California native has fitted license plates to 911 race cars and was instrumental in the Show or Display bill, which granted special exemptions for road cars without U.S. homologation. All legal, all above aboard, all leaving a trail of “what the … ?” in their wake when they roar past on a U.S. highway. | | |
|
Car and Driver—Low miles, desirable spec, and extensive mechanical refurbishing—the Force is strong with this one. | | |
|

Hagerty—One of the dynamics in the Hack Mechanic household is that the number of guitars rivals the number of cars. Fortunately, the guitars are considerably less greasy and a lot smaller, all fitting in one room. While I haven’t bought any new cars recently, I have bought two more guitars. I didn’t need either, but sometimes, like with cars, circumstances present themselves—an instrument speaks to you, you bond with it, and you act. (Which is, of course, a heartfelt and carefully-crafted description of an utter lack of self-control.) | | |
|
Jalopnik—The ad may be light on details, but the car’s Gemballa bodywork speaks volumes. | | |
|
The Autopian—Depreciation’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it? | | |
|
The Drive—Remember when the very idea of a Porsche SUV was sacrilege? Oh, how far we’ve come. | | |

MotorWeek via YouTube—While Porsche has relatively few models in their lineup, they make so many distinct versions of those few that figuring out the right one for you will definitely take some research. | | |
|
Motor1—If you opted for European delivery in the Eighties, Porsche gave you a complementary a factory tour. Here's what it looked like. | | |
|
