While this is a very cool comparison test by Car and Driver the choice of the GT3 is a mistake. Why? Because the 911 in the comparison should be the 911 GTS. The GT3 while fitting in by the nature of its price is more raw and a race car facsimile than the others. ...Published on 10-25-2018 10:47 PM
An official release for these intercoolers will come from the usual parties but BoostAddict will be testing these intercoolers out next week on the Project 991.2 Carrera along with assisting VF-Engineering with Stage 2 ECU tune software development. ...Published on 10-24-2018 10:35 PM
The VTG Turbo upgrade market is pretty much dominated by Tial but TTE (The Turbo Engineers) in Germany also has some upgrade options. This 997.2 was put together by Fitzgerald Racing Services in Melbourne, Australia. ...Published on 10-15-2018 03:52 PM
Squeezing horses out of the GT3's naturally aspirated flat-6 is not easy to do. Dundon Motorsport fortunately has race and street headers for various GT3 models which help extract torque and horsepower over the factory design. ...Published on 10-15-2018 03:08 PM
MotorTrend got their lucky paws on both of these high performance missiles that represent the best of the best from their respectives platforms. The 911 and Corvette battle rages on and the 2019 iteration brings us the most capable and powerful variants ever produced. ...Published on 10-10-2018 09:41 PM
The 992 generation Porsche 911 remains fairly similar to the 991.2 generation. Visually, it takes on some 993 styling cues and all vehicles will be widebody. The major changes come under the skin as is per usual when a new 911 hits. ...Published on 10-09-2018 08:21 PM
The Carrera T is arguably the purest expression of the 911 in the Porsche lineup today. It is not about power but the driving experience. Porsche keeps things light and simple. They strip out weight, give it a manual, a limited slip differential, shorter gearing, and focus on the driving experience. ...Published on 10-08-2018 09:32 PM
Great data and results here from VF-Engineering who released their Hex Tuning software for the Porsche 991.2 9A2B6 3.0 twin turbo platform. They compiled stock and tuned results for the 911 Carrera, S, and GTS using their Mustang AWD-500-SE dyno. ...Published on 10-08-2018 06:35 PM
This is admittedly cool and a new approach. Porsche will eventually develop a hybrid 911 but if you have a spare $75k and want to give your 991.1 911 a big boost in power and torque at a modest weight premium, you will want to look into the Vonnen system. ...Published on 10-05-2018 09:26 PM
Yes electric cars are the future but for now they can not match top internal combustion engines when it comes to performance. Electric performance is evolving as Formula E shows and German tuner ABT decided to borrow from their Formula E program for a street car. ...Published on 10-02-2018 10:33 PM
We now have a pretty good idea as to the output of the new 991.2 GT2 RS. A previous Dynojet pull in STD correction showed 683 rear wheel horsepower. This Dynojet run from another 911 GT2 RS hits 678 rear wheel horsepower in STD correction so we have an established range. ...Published on 10-02-2018 11:24 AM
Porsche seemingly can not stop doing cool things. There is nothing wrong with the 911 GT3 and the only complaint anyone could make is that in the model's history you could not drop the drop the top to hear that glorious naturally aspirated flat-6 sing. ...Published on 10-01-2018 09:32 PM
This comparison is from Tyre Review on Youtube and worth watching as they compare three popular Michelin performance tires. Tire technology makes huge strides over time and this is an area any car can pick up large performance gains from. ...APR back in Porsche tuning market with Macan 2.0T engine tuning offering limited powertrain warranty
Published on 10-01-2018 08:20 PM
APR is back tuning Porsche models with their Macan 2.0T software. It makes logical sense as the Macan 2.0T features the VW EA888 engine platform. APR is well known with their tuning for this motor and they are standing behind it on the Macan with a limited powertrain warranty. ...Published on 10-01-2018 06:33 PM
The GT3 is not losing its naturally aspirated motor. At least, not yet. Just last month the click baiters over at Autocar posted an article claiming the GT3 is going turbo. This despite Porsche themselves hinting at a 9500 rpm naturally aspirated flat-6 motor. ...
