000

With so many events canceled—and so many of us suddenly stuck at home with time to spare—we've decided to discount 000 back issues for the first time ever.

It's a small way we can make staying indoors a bit more pleasurable for Porsche people—providing a getaway from endless hyperlinks and drop-down notifications. Which is precisely what 000 was designed to be: a luxurious reading experience and an alternative to a night out, a concert, or a car event you just can't get to when life intervenes. And 000 is an experience: Each issue has 260 pages, weighs about three pounds, comes in a box, and contains no more than 5-7% advertising—meaning at least 242-247 of 260 pages are pure Porsche content. In them, you'll find deep dives, long drives, new research, unpublished documents, untold stories, old stories we only thought we knew, and elements of Porsche cars and Porsche stories placed under a microscope.

000 isn't for everyone, nor was it designed to be. But if you want to know Porsche better, and to understand the real minds behind that hood crest, you might just love 000.

We'll get through this. In the meantime, take care of what's important, take care of yourself so you can do so, and we'll see you on the other side!

*If we were to recommend a back issue for those on this forum, it might be Issue 005—which has a multi-part deep dive into the birth of the GT3 nameplate with a long-form road test of the 996.1 GT3, 996.2 GT3, and 996.2 GT3 RS by Richard Meaden, Pete Stout, and Alexander Palevsky followed by their interview with Hartmut Kristen on the precarious birth of the GT3, on why the Carrera RS nameplate had to die, and on how 996 GT3s differ, philosophically, from 997 GT3s. Flying Lizard chief engineer Craig Watkins' vignettes round out the 85-page trilogy on the roots of the GT3, providing perspective on just how hard it was to get GT3s produced on the assembly line in the Wiedeking era as well as "inside baseball" on early GT3 racing and the development of some of the last Mezger-powered race cars. A 45-page story on the ur-GT3—the four-cam 356 Carrera—is in the same issue, along with a 145-mph ride in Bugatti designer Achim Anscheidt's 1,808-pound 911 hot rod.

^ why did you not have the S subscription would be the question..
the smell of leather in PTS cases, while sipping Louis 13, smoking cohiba and staring down your 6300G.......
yes, I dream of that all day long.

I wouldn't know what all the fuss is about except that I did see an issue of 000 once, and it was truly sensational in every way.

Many thanks, Chris! Hope you are well, and the garage is, as always, looking fantastic.

We've been weighing it for a while now.

Problem is, startup cost on that is prohibitive. If people saw what it costs to print an issue of 000, they'd know why. Now 4x that. Even so, we are looking at some ideas that might keep the first printing special while providing access to that content for those seeking to complete (or start) a collection—because we do want that content out there. In print, at least. If we can find a way that meets 000 standards and makes business sense, then it may happen.

The man I once thought had to be an elaborate myth cooked up by some of the usual suspects around here certainly knows how to read. This is what 000 was designed for. Something to read for enjoyment and perspective that just happens to be about Porsche—something that helps you appreciate your Porsche even if the story (or issue) isn't about your particular model.
^ Many thanks!!

005 looks great. Pete, any plans for a 997 GT3/RS near future story?

K_Espiritu

This.

Just ordered as well #005.

Just received Issue 005 yesterday! I was excited to get a firsthand look at this publication, thank you for the reduced rate to sample. Excellent publication and I was astounded by its content and quality and it exceeded my expectations! Great work! Ordered Issue 011 today due to it having content on the 997 GT2/RS. I hope that they will do a story on the 997 GT3/RS as well like the article in Issue 005 (hint, hint)! Have a great day!

#11 ordered. I appreciate the opportunity to get a look at these back issues. My modified version of the Mooty experience:

the smell of my dog laying next to me (usually needs a bath), while sipping jack and coke, smoking hot wife and staring down your Tudor BB GMT.......

stout

^^ Yep, on the list. Need to think about how we will attack it…997 GT3 development was an interesting time for a few reasons, and one that only recently came clear in a project for Issue 014.

Right on, and many thanks!

Ah, so glad you dig it, and thank you for your order! Hint taken.

Lol. You two know how to live. And I'd better not take to your beverage regimen while making 000...
