Porsche 911 Carrera RS Experience

January 6, 2010

Porsche UK have youtubed a great video of a beautiful 1973 Carrera RS enjoying the Experience Centre at Silverstone. Driven by Gordon Robertson, the dynamic nature of the RS Touring is immediately apparent as the classic 911 is drifted through the circuit’s sinuous curves.

You’ve got The Look

September 17, 2009

Sheena Easton might have had the look back in the day, but this hot rod 911 T has it now. The owner has asked me to keep him out of the limelight, but I can’t resist sharing some pics. This car looks amazing: almost exactly how I want my own longhood, which arrives in the [...]
