This Porsche 911 pretends to be a boat


Everyone know the engine we find in the new generation of the Porsche 911 is water cooled, but this owner is taking things too seriously, or perhaps he thought his car was also a good boat. The protagonist of this accident is the wet chinese man you see laying on the bonnet of his Porsche that is floating in a lake in the city of Jinan.

Footballplayer gets stuck with his Porsche in the mud


Sometimes I think our society is way too addicted and conditioned by technology. Road maps are Middle Ages stuff and everyone use a satnav, but is it really worthy to follow every advice of this device? Don't ask me how, but UK's footballplayer Andre Wisdom managed to get stuck with his Porsche Panamera Turbo in the middle of nowhere.

BMW M3 nearly crashes into a GT3


Even if you are a talented or careful driver, the Nürburgring is still a dangerous track for anybody because if you're good enough not to make mistakes or crash by yourself, there's anyway the risk to be involved in an accident, as you can see in the following video.

Porsche 911 Turbo S 0-333 kph


The german guys at Sport Auto have pushed to the limit the new Porsche 991 Turbo S, which is a very impressive car on the straight line! Its 3.8L twin turbo flat six produces 560hp and with launch control mode, the sprint of the Turbo S is even faster than a Lamborghini Aventador or a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta!

Koenigseder Porsche Carrera GT for sale


When the Porsche Carrera GT came on the market in 2004, it was considered by many as a truly spectacular supercar.. and still is! The 10 years old design looks so fresh and clean, the sound and the power of the engine make this car so perfect that it's not necessary to change even a tiny bolt on this german masterpiece, and that's why this yellow Porsche Carrera GT might be a blasphemy.

Porsche 964 RSR crashes heavily


During the stage of the Hellendoor Rally a spectator has caught on his camera a brutal crash of a Porsche 964 RSR which locks the brakes, crashes into the jersey barries and flies into the river! The impact of the car is impressive, but hopefully we get to know the occupants survived and didn't reported serious injuries.

Hear the Porsche 991 GT2 on track


With the recent introduction of the new Porsche 911 Turbo and GT3 versions, the 991 family is getting bigger, but it's not all. It looks like this is going to be a good year if you're planning to buy a track car, Ferrari is developing the hardcore version of the 458, mean while the german engineers are preparing to introduce a very spicy version, the new GT2.

Porsche GT2 Heavily crashes



The Porsche 997 GT2 is a truly beasty track car and it's not easy to handle, you really need good driving skills, and if you want to push it hard at the Nürburgring, you better know what you're doing. It's not the case of this driver which you're going to see crashing his GT2 at Flugplatz.

Russians do street racing with expensive toys



The guys at DragTimes have organized a street race with four beasty and tuned supercars, a Nissan GT-R with 1000hp, a Porsche GT2 with 1000hp, a Porsche 997 GT3 RS 9ff with 900hp and last but not least.. a Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera with 2000hp! The streets are hopefully empty because with these cars you can see them reaching without efforts 300kph!

Don't mess with the Carrera GT!

A legendary Porsche meeting the fastest 911 ever at Nürburgring means just one thing.. race! The Porsche Carrera GT is still one of the best Porsches ever made and has similar numbers, compared to the Porsche 911 GT2 RS (612hp the V10 of the GT, 620hp the flat-six of the RS), they have something else in common, they're two difficult cars to drive, the GT is a real beast to tame!

Start to see the video from minute 27:00, that's where the GT meets the RS and the battle begins, until the driver of the GT2 RS reaches his limits and spins out, but with a huge luck he doesn't crashes into the barriers which happens most of the times if you crash at the Green Hell since the guard rail is just a meter far from the tarmac of the track.

And the lesson of today is: don't ever try to keep up a Carrera GT, just turn down the window and enjoy that heck of a V10 sound!

Brake dude, brake!



So, what happens when you drive a Porsche on track and suddendly it won't brake? Sounds like a brakes failure and it's just a second before something dangerous occurs. The learner looks scared and keep pushing the pedal... but which one? Just see the video until the end! Kudos to the instructor for his calm and diplomacy even in these situations!

GT-R vs GT3 RS 4.0



Once again, the guys at m5boarddotcom have managed to compare side by side two great rivals, the Nissan GT-R and the Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0. The Porsche looks stock, the Nissan is slighty modified and this time the 4WD is a huge help. In a standstill start all we know who would win without a doubt, but the guys are racing with a rolling start.. so, will the Porsche have a chance?

Carrera GT vs Koenigsegg CCR Evo



The clash of the titans, the Porsche Carrera GT races with its 604hp the 806hp Koenigsegg CCR Evo on a air strip. You may understand that the Porsche disadvantaged and its clear who's gonna win this race, however it's still awesome to see two hypercars like these racing side by side, the sound of their engines is absolutely mental.

Porsche 997 GT2 nearly crashes 3 times



It's good to see people that want to satisfy their need for speed on track instead of public roads. However, if you can't drive properly your supercar, you're still a danger even for the other drivers on track, and this onboard video shows a man with very little driving skills nearly crashing 3 times with a Porsche 997 GT2, which is not really the easiest car to drive. It's worrying to see how the driver holds the elbow outside the window just like a city cruise and grasps the a-pillar as the rear of the car slides. This guy definitely needs a good track driving course, and a much easier and safer car to drive.

Brutal Porsche GT3 RS crash

When I drove for the 1st time at Nürburgring, the thing that has impressed me more, was the lack of view of the upcoming parts of the track, you keep driving fast but you never know what's coming in the next corner, and with the low amount of marshals around the track, you really know why this racetrack is so dangerous, as you can see in the following clip. At Bergwerk, which is a blind corner, a Porsche 996 GT3 RS arrives at around 190km/h but there's nobody able to warn him about the several cars blocking the track because of an accident. On the trajectory of the crash there's also a dangerous oil slick; too late for the Porsche driver to do something, the car spins out and ends his lap against a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.

Challenging parking with the Porsche



Porsche owners, now you have a good excuse if you're not good at parking your car! Behind the wheel of this 991 Carrera S we find Mark Lieb, a german Porsche racing driver, and with a great difficulty he tries (but fails) to do a parallel parking. But there's a reason for that..

Fast as Hell



Take the ultimate german track car in the ultimate racetrack, give it to an expert racing driver, fit it with sport track tires and a couple of cameras to film the action. Dunlop has held at Nürburgring an event to show the efficiency of their new Dunlop Sport Maxx semi slick tires, and in the following video you can see a Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 fitted with these tires being driven insanely, by marking an absolutely amazing lap time under 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
