1. Porsche pulls cover off 2020 911 Carrera S and 4S

PCA—Porsche introduced the new 2020 911 Carrera S and Carrera 4S, the eighth generation of the automaker’s iconic rear-engined sports car, tonight at the Porsche Experience Center in Carson, California.

2. Video: The Screamer: A $200,000+ Porsche 944 Turbo

PCA—PCA Hurricane Region Member Steve Bastian has loved Porsches since the 1980s, and instead of pouring his automotive passion into just air-cooled or rear-engined cars (he has those, too), his pride and joy is a highly modified 1989 944 Turbo that he lovingly refers to as a "944 RS." We saw it at PCA's Werks Reunion Amelia Island this year, and when we learned Bastian and the previous owner had more than $200,000 invested in it, we had to find out more.

3. The ultimate stocking stuffers — instant Porsche collection for just $25,000

PCA—It’s no holiday miracle, you read it correctly, an entire Porsche collection for just $25,000. Three great Porsches for the price of some options on a new 911. Technically, it’s $25,800, but hey, you’ll probably negotiate a little, right? So, without further ado, here’s an entire readymade Porsche collection that we’d be happy to find under our tree:

4. PCA Spotlight: Aftermarket Porsche 911 headlights: Flat 6 Illumination, Audette Collection, and 9Eleven

PCA—Air-cooled Porsche 911 owners from 1964-1994 are faced with several options when it comes to headlights. Aside from replacing a blown bulb for your stock H5 headlights or sourcing a set of European H4s, there are several companies who offer modern LED headlights with superior lighting. In this video, we install LED headlights from Flat 6 Illumination, Audette Collection, and 9Eleven and compare them to the stock H5 lamps.

5. Mart Fresh: Aces of base or aim for the top?

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 pick what they think are the "freshest" Porsches currently available, and then attempt to explain their reasoning. Up this week are a 2012 911 Carrera, 2013 Boxster, and 2006 Cayenne Turbo S.
