PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA – A SEVENTY-YEAR ROMANCE IN THE USA

Seventy years ago, a group of Porsche enthusiasts in North America came together to form what would become the Porsche Club North America (PCNA). Since its inception, the club has grown exponentially and now boasts a membership of over 100,000 Porsche owners and enthusiasts. The official date falls 4 days after my 71st birthday.

Happy September!

Greetings to all you beautiful Porsche enthusiasts!

August was a month to remember for many reasons.

Where do I even begin?

One of the highlights of August was this year’s Monterey Car Week, particularly the 2025 Porsche Club Werks Reunion. I’ve got a recap of it in this month’s issue.

By: Jordan Godorov

Have you ever been to a car event that featured a Volkswagen with “Porsche” lettering on it? What’s that all about?

According to Richard Lindhorst, writing for Effersport Online – “In 1951, Porsche took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time. Motorsport has been a central part of the Zuffenhausen company’s DNA ever since this entry of two Porsche 356/4 SL Coupés. From the mid-1950s onwards, the so-called “Renndienst”, which means racing service, was also always there [...]

Unleashing Adventure, Camaraderie, and Automotive Excellence on the Open Road

By Craig Shanklin

There’s something thrilling about sliding into the driver’s seat of your Porsche, feeling the pulse of its engine through the steering wheel, and pointing its nose toward new horizons. For many Porsche owners, this might be a local drive or attending a nearby Cars and Coffee. We all know our car is more than just a means of transportation—it’s a symbol of refined engineering, performance, and a close-knit community. However, taking your Porsche out for an extended road trip…hundreds of miles… is something very different. It isn’t merely about getting from A to B; it’s about experiencing a journey…an adventure… savoring each curve of the road, and embracing the camaraderie that comes with being a part of a passionate automotive family.
