QLD Porsche Club holds events quite regularly in Queensland, alternating between the Lakeside and Queensland Raceways. At each event fresh cars hit the track, making spectating very entertaining! The last time I shot a Porsche Club track day was late 2009 at Lakeside Raceway. This sexy RS GT3 unfortunately lost control over the bank and scraped the wall, damaging the rear bumper and the carbon fibre wing. This time he was back out in action and kept the car looking immaculate throughout the whole...

Hello Speedhunters. We've just uploaded to the desktop area a great concept render of a Porsche 918 hardtop by Jack Darton. Fingers crossed they'll enter the 2011 FIA GT1 World Championship with something that looks like this bad boy! Enjoy!

Found this on the intraweb today, from Mayday Garage's Blog . The 993 GT2 is one of my all-time favorite cars, and its in black.. game over. - Carl Jarrett

Nothing beats the Work Brombacher and the Rauh Welt stance together. -Jeroen Willemsen

Developing new cars and supporting current racers might be their speciality, but Barwell also have a lot of experience running historic cars. Parked up in front of the prep bays are two stunning examples they take care of: a pristine 1969 Porsche 917 and an original 1697 Ford GT40. The Porsche 917 is chassis number 013/34. It was built for the 1970 season, and although it didn't have much success whilst racing with John Wyer Automotive's Gulf team its claim to fame is that it was used in...

This new promo video from Porsche caught my eye over on Cold Track Days. Showcasing their long history in racing, but no 956/962. Despite this, some great imagery and classic footage.
Porsche make some great videos, so its worth checking out their YouTube Channel. Enjoy!

While visiting Essen this year I stumbled upon this Porsche 997 Turbo on the SpeedART stand. I started taking pictures right away but was approached by friendly lady who invited me inside the roped off stand for some better pictures. But once inside stand, I found it a bit cramped and had a hard time to taking clear shots of the car. So I walked up to SpeedART's PR lady again and asked if I could visit their factory next year, you know, in order to get better photos of their tuned Porsche. The...

This Golf has been doing its rounds on the blogs worldwide. So it's only fair to give it some love on Speedhunters. It's all about the stance, especially in the rear. First there is the lip, stretched tire and the fender; in other words perfect. -Jeroen Willemsen

The Essen Motor Show is in full swing and I was there to capture it all on camera. I noticed that there were less tuners and fewer cars than previous years, but still there were some fine examples to be found. I'll start with showing you the diversity of cars that can be found inside the Messe. Of course there are lots Porsches, this version made by Speedart grabbed my attention with its red accents. This BTR-580 had its premiere on the Essen Motor Show and is based on the 997 Turbo 3.8l. I will...

Ergh... it seems that each time I go to Wilkenson's I find an increasing amount of items to dump my hard earned cash into. I'm frothing at the mouth for the Autoart Super Silhouette Skyline, but this True Scale Miniatures 1/18 Kremer K3 die cast is also making me crazy with desire. The Porsche 935 is absolutely my favourite racing car of all time, and the Kremer K3 is one of the most exciting of the variants to hit race tracks around the world in the early 1980s. True Scale Miniatures has...

I saw some of you guys commenting on Dino's feature of the ‘Natty Dread' Porsche regarding the Sunburst 993. So I dug up this shot of the Sunburst demo car doing some laps around Tsukuba. The orange color scheme really sets it off but it doesn't make it look as menacing as the Rauh Welt build car. The offset on the other hand does work wonders, especially considering the massive fenders. -Jeroen Willemsen

We are all great admirers of Nakai-san and Rauh Welt here at Speedhunters. The cars that have rolled out of this small countryside body-shop in Chiba-ken have pretty much all assumed cult status. Nakai's creations are all about raw style, a vision into what he thinks a Porsche should look, sound and even smell like! There are no compromises here, the cars that bare the Rauh Welt touch have been built for one simple thing, driving. I though it would be cool to take a nice and detailed look into...

This fresh looking Golf MK4 was spotted at the recent Westside Show in the UK. You see a lot of rims that come from higher end cars ending up on cars in the VW community. This time the owner of this Golf got himself a set of wheels from the Porsche Turbo. It just shows that a design that has been made exclusively for a Porsche also works wonders on other cars. -Jeroen Willemsen Picture taken from Tej's flickr stream

This low-riding Porsche 914-6 belongs to Speedhunters.com reader Martin, who sent me this stunning shot of his car. It sounds like quite a beast fitted with a close to 300 HP 3.5L flat-6, replacing the stock 110 HP 2L. On top of all the mechanical modifications, which also include 930 brakes and GT stiffening suspension plates, Martin also fitted the steel GT fender flares and had the rear ones further widened by 1-inch. The car rides on the stock 15-inch Fuchs wheels that sit neatly inside the arches...

There's something about crisp fall weather that makes me fantasize (more than usual) about spending some time with a classic sports car and a curvy backroad.
It didn't help when I went to a car show on Sunday morning at the South Coast Botanical Garden in Rolling Hills and saw these two early Porsche 911's parked neatly in the lot.
Now if we could just find one these for a Speedhunters project car...

Now for my third installment I will be looking at some of the other cars that were present. The first car we have is the green E36 Wagon in the opening picture. It had a solid setup with its green color and flush Racing Dynamics wheels. I kept coming back to this car, and couldn't resist taking lots of pictures of it, maybe I can turn it into a car spotlight, anybody interested? Next week I will have another E36 wagon for you guys. It's a very famous car in Europe and it is used for drifting...

I made so many pictures last Thursday, so I wasn't sure how I wanted to start this second post. I could do a separate BMW post or a Porsche post, but I decided to mix it up a bit. So there's something for everyone. In the opening shot you see the parking lot that's left of the entrance. On days like this you can walk around and chat to the owners or just check the awesome machinery that is present. The first car that caught my eye in this picture was the BMW M6 on the foreground. I'm...

I'm back home in LA now after a long road trip, watching dark rain clouds fill the sky. Rain in Southern California? Does such a thing exist?
Anyways, we have a busy week ahead of us as we gear up for the Formula D finale in Irwindale, but before that we have more action from the Monterey Sports Car Championships at Laguna Seca. If you had the chance to watch the ALMS race on SPEED TV, then you know how crazy things got at Laguna Seca over the weekend!...

It has been a while since I saw a good picture of a Rauh Welt build car. This ‘Natty Dread' 911 looks spot on. It is seen here doing a hotlap around the Tsukuba circuit (I do miss the coverage that Mike always did). I didn't noticed before that the small rear windows are actually removed and replaced by airducts, you can even see the tubes leading to the engine. Another thing I didn't noticed before is the front skirt, it looks it is just bolted in place for easy replacement. -Jeroen...

In a very short period of time the motor race known as Petit Le Mans has acquired “Classic” status. It is now regarded in the same league as its yahoo, elder cousin, the Sebring 12 Hours. Some of this status is because of the association with the Le Mans 24 Hours and some of the status is due to the challenging Road Atlanta track. It is popular with teams, drivers, fans, even photographers, all of whom enjoy the undulations and sheer flat out speed of the place. Generally a pretty good...
