1. 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera gets nine more horsepower, no manual transmission (yet)

PCA—Eight months ago Porsche introduced a new generation of the 911 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but there was something conspicuously missing, the base Carrera. That’s no longer the case as the automaker announced the Carrera and Carrera Cabriolet yesterday, joining the S and 4S models. All-wheel-drive Carreras will be announced soon, according to Porsche.

2. Porsche Parade: 718 Cayman GT4 and Spyder revealed, see concours class winners [w/video]

PCA—This year’s Porsche Parade is taking place in Boca Raton, Florida, and though we’re near the southernmost tip of the state, an area known for its hot and humid weather, thus far it has proven more comfortable than many parts of North America due to a massive heat wave covering much of the Midwest and Northeast. We’re glad to be here right now to enjoy mostly sunny weather, each other’s company, and a lot of Porsches.

3. Mart Fresh: Pristine four-cylinder Porsches or a nice flat six?

PCA—A popular PCA member benefit is The Mart, the club’s classifieds section online and in each issue of Porsche Panorama. Mart Fresh is a bi-weekly column in which PCA media staff and guest contributors pick what they think are the "freshest" Porsches currently available, and then attempt to explain their reasoning. Up this edition are a 1994 968, 2009 911 Carrera S, 1993 911 Carrera 4, and 1988 924S.

5. 2019 Zone 6 Grand Tour: Nine days, 2,300 miles, 10 Regions, and our Porsches

PCA—If the 2015 Zone 6 Grand Tour was a 4,700-mile marathon, this year’s 2,300-mile tour of Zone 6 will only be a half marathon. We started on a quiet Saturday morning at Griot’s Garage in Tacoma. They were kind enough to open early for coffee, donuts, and the usual drivers’ meeting. Of course, we all had time to browse the store and buy products to keep the Porsches pretty.
