Jeff McCabe decided to build his own electric car. He gutted a Porsche 928, taking everything out he could to save weight, then slowly added things back in. It will take him between 120 and 150 miles before needing to be recharged and has a top speed of 85 mph. An interesting video and even [...]

Supercars Exposed: Porsche Tuner TECHART
August 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
This was a great episode of Supercars Exposed. I’m not a big Tanner Foust fan, but he drives some amazing TECHART tuned Porsches and shows some behind the scenes footage of the tuning facility. There’s some other great rides in there as well. Definitely worth watching. Thanks for sending it over, Lyndon!

Lyndon sent me a link to this classified listing. I’m not really sure what to say about it, so I’m just going to let the pictures do the talking. This car is a customized 1985 Porsche 944 by one heck of an avid Batman fan. It’s located up in Canada and offered for sale for [...]

Thanks to Lyndon, one of our PorschePerfect.com readers, for sending this link over. Some of the numbers tuners are getting out of the Porsche 911 are just mind boggling. When you start getting up to 600, 700, 800 or even 1,000 horsepower, you’re talking a world most of us will never experience. I can’t imagine [...]

July 20, 2010 By 6 Comments
This is a bit of a unique request, but I figure there are lots here who wouldn’t mind helping a fellow Porsche enthusiast. Especially one looking to add a little something to a 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo! Ken, a fellow PorschePerfect.com reader, emailed me a couple of days ago asking about a spoiler pictured on [...]
Three…ummm…interesting Porsches

World’s Worst Cayenne The first is a bastardized Porsche Cayenne. A reader on Jalopnik.com came across an older Asian man that was literally supergluing fake rhinestones onto his Porsche Cayenne in the parking lot of a store. He had already added reflective tape, thermometers, compasses, pins, badges and lights as part of his customization treatment. [...]
Jet Engine Powered Porsche 928

An email from Brad usually means something interesting. This week was no exception. He sent me a link to a blog post titled “Asinine or Awesome?”. I’ll answer the question before I give you the reference: ASININE! In fact, I don’t see much difference between this and the hicks beating the crap out of the [...]
Porsche Panamera Stingray by TOPCAR
June 16, 2010 By 5 Comments
Seems like Porsche tuners love customizing the Porsche Panamera. Not sure if that’s a good sign, or a bad one. Most of them have been pretty subtle. I’m waiting for that one Gemballa-like crazy tuned version of the Panamera. This one from TopCar is getting a bit closer. Spearheaded by Russian Porsche tuner TopCar, the [...]
