So You Think You Know Your Porsches?

Think again. Porsche is challenging you to put your ear where your mouth is and see if you can match the noise to the car. You’ll have to be more than a Porsche afficionado to get them right, probably more alongs the lines of Porsche zealot with “Stuttgart” tattooed on your arm and a heart with a flat-six chamber arrangement.

Still, if you’re man mad enough, give it a shot and let us know how you made out. If you live in the UK, you can also use this little quiz to win a seat in the Evolution 911 driving experience at Silverstone.

The Only Car You’ll Ever Need, On Mars: The Porsche 911 GT3

We all have dream garages full of Ferraris, Zondas, and Spada Cadatroncas, but what if you could only have one car in your life. What would you choose? Before you answer, I’m going to answer for you, because, quite simply, you were about to choose the wrong car. Let me tell you about the only car you will need for the rest of your life. On Mars.

Video: 911 GT3 = Fun For Everyone

Most of us already know that Porsche makes pretty good cars. Very few of us know first-hand how good they can be, especially on a racetrack. Porsche decided to show a few lucky individuals what it is like in the passenger seat of the upcoming low-weight, naturally-aspirated, 3.6L, rear-engined, 415 hp, Porsche 997.5 911 GT3.

Here’s a video done up by Porsche that is made to give people a glimmer of the new GT3′s abilities around a track. And we are oh so jealous. The video after the jump shows a half dozen different people getting into the GT3 as a passenger and getting ripped around an unknown circuit. Their expressions are priceless to the point that Mastercard should use this video for a commercial. Now let’s all live vicariously through this video. 

Video: I Love Snow

Living in the arctic has its advantages. Yes, we have to put up with miserable cold and chilling winds but there are not many other places on Earth that allow you to take your supercar around a snow-covered track and drift like it is your day job. We have found a video of some zany Germans who decided to take out a Porsche 997 911 Turbo, a Bentley Conti GT, a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, and the formidable Audi R8. All cars have AWD, all are made by Porsche/VW, and all make you look like a God in the snow. Check it out after the jump!
