Magazine Extras:
There we have it — another year of 911 & Porsche World wrapped up. For a variety of reasons, it’s been a fantastic twelve months for marque enthusiasts. Even so, this issue of the world’s best-selling monthly Porsche magazine lands on newsstands a whisker away from 2024, which guarantees more reasons to celebrate, not least the G-series 911’s fiftieth anniversary, thirty-five years of 964, the 993’s thirtieth birthday, twenty-five years of 911 GT3 and much more besides. As you’d expect, we’re planning special celebration issues for each of these milestones in Porsche’s production timeline, but we’re an impatient bunch, hence our decision to showcase Dave the Trimmer’s fantastic 1989 964 Carrera 2 on the cover of this very issue. Well, as we bid farewell to 2023, we might as well go out with a bang.
We've also pointed our cameras at 906-134 and a 991 GTR RS from Down Under. We've also tried and test the new 718 Cayman Style Edition and Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupe with GT Package, which may well take the record for longest Porsche model name to date. Along the way, we show you how to fix a busted 968 odometer and report on our latest adventures with our personally owned 944 Turbo, 997 Carrera 4S and 981 Boxster S. We pay a visit Road and Race Restorations in Manchester, plus we bring you The White Collection's staggering auction results.
By the time you read these words, Christmas will have been and gone. We hope you had a cool yule and Santa Claus brought you and your precious Porsche all the goodies you asked for, especially if you’re planning maintenance and upgrades for the car in the run up to show season, which promises a packed calendar of events. For now, though, we wish you and yours health and happiness for 2024. Happy New Year, friends!
Issue Summary:
Welcoming the new year with a bang, we showcase a brilliantly personalised 964 Carrera 2, get up close and personal with a 906 and test the new 718 Cayman Style Edition.
Top 3 Issue Features:
TRIM WHEN YOU'RE WINNING - In Dave Goodwin’s pursuit of Porsche perfection, this 1989 964 Carrera 2 has undergone serious transformation.
BACK TO BASICS - Resplendent in a lick of Ruby Star Neo, the 718 Cayman Style Edition certainly draws attention, which seems to be the primary reason for its existence.
THE POINT OF DEPARTURE - The clumsily named Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupe with GT Package is one of the most powerful road cars Porsche has ever built. This super-SUV attempts to recreate the Cayenne Turbo GT’s magic, but in plug-in hybrid form. Has the novel approach worked?
