Separated by two decades of Porsche production, the 991 Carrera GTS and 968 Club Sport are sports cars following hugely different designs, but look closely and you'll find a high degree of commonality. In this issue of the world's best-selling monthly Porsche magazine, we test both cars — instant classics — back-to-back, but which did we prefer and why?
Elsewhere, we examine two Porsche passion projects leading to engine output of 500bhp. One is a 944 Turbo S running a hugely modified three-litre sixteen-valve 944 S2 inline-four converted to accommodate forced induction, the other is a Carrera 3.2 now running a 3.3-litre 911 Turbo (930) flat-six. This Prussian Blue beauty was formerly configured for fast-road driving by its previous owner, a member of the paparazzi who used this very Porsche in hot pursuit of Diana, Princess of Wales, on the night of her tragic death in Paris.
Elsewhere in the magazine, we sample the best 718 Cayman GT4 RS we've experienced to date, plus we revisit the 991 Carrera T, a highlight of the entire 991 line-up. Also, we show you how to replace the alternator-starter cable on a 997 and reveal the key information you'll need when on the hunt for a first-generation 987 Boxster.
With such a wide variety of Stuttgart-crested sports cars to enjoy, as well as the latest product and auction news, this is an issue of 911 & Porsche World not to be missed.
Issue Summary:

Top 3 Issue Features:
KILLER COLOUR COMBO - In Mint Green and Riviera Blue, Andy Cruttenden’s 991 Carrera GTS and 968 Club Sport make a bold statement, but there’s more than visual impact to this dynamic duo, separated by two decades of Porsche production.
THE ACID TEST - From 987 Cayman R onward, Rob Cowling has owned the major track-oriented flavours of ‘baby 911’, but following on from his time in charge of a 991 GT3 RS and much more motorsport-inspired metal besides, how does his 718 Cayman GT4 RS rank among the pack?
PAPARAZZI PORSCHE - Following a life spent chasing royalty at the hands of a tabloid photographer, this 1986 Carrera 3.2 was subsequently stripped and rebuilt to bespoke specification, including a turbocharged flat-six now delivering more than 500bhp.
