What Makes the Porsche 911 GT3 Special: One Year of Ownership

Rediscovering the Porsche 911 GT3 Lately, I’ve been getting behind the wheel of the GT3 about once a month. Every time, it brings back that familiar thrill—“Yes, this is exactly how it feels!”—along with new moments of discovery: “I never realized it could be this appealing!” Porsche, and the GT3 in particular, really is a car with remarkable depth. The other day, my husband rode in the passenger seat while I drove. I wondered, “I...

Why Fuchs-Style Wheels Look So Right on a Porsche

Wheels on the Porsche Targa Porsche recently unveiled the 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition, and the images looked absolutely stunning. When I first saw the 992-generation design, I’ll admit I thought, “Something about the rear just doesn’t look quite right…” But it’s grown on me over time. The Targa, in particular, blends classic Targa character with a modern feel in a beautifully refined way. Looking at the 992 photos Porsche has released so far—including...

Our First Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Problem: A Dead Battery Leaves the Engine Unable t...

The Battery in Our Air-Cooled Porsche 911… We currently own six cars, but there’s only room to park two at home, so we keep the others in several different places, including nearby and close to my husband’s workplace. The other day, my husband headed to work saying, “I’ll drive home in the air-cooled Porsche (964) I’ve parked near the office today.” It had only been parked for about a week, so I didn’t think there...

Today’s Porsche 911 GT3 | My First Night Drive

A Night Drive in the Porsche 911 GT3 The other night, I had a reason to take the GT3 out for a short drive. My husband suggested, “If you only drive around the neighborhood, you’ll be back before the engine has warmed up. Why not go a little farther?” So I took him up on it and went for a proper spin in the GT3. “If I want to drive far enough to warm up...

Recording the Engine Sound of a Porsche 911 GT3

Why Engine Sound Matters The more I drive, the more I realize just how important engine sound is. Before I became interested in cars, I used to think, “Car engines are just noisy.” These days, though, I see engine sound as an essential part of the driving experience.
