The Porsche 911 Turbo S is the heaviest 911 in the lineup at just over 3600 pounds. That is fine. It's not trying to be a 911 GT3. The Turbo S is quite simply one of the most comfortable and fastest ways to drive around in a drop top 911. ...Published on 08-03-2018 05:32 PM
BoostAddict already did testing of the IPD plenum over a year ago. Some questioned whether the IPD plenum was forcing the ECU to add more boost instead of removing a restriction. Well, this test on a Cobb tuned example should put that debate to rest. ...Published on 08-03-2018 03:52 PM
Porsche is on a roll despite the Asian markets pulling back a bit. Asia and China are Porsche's largest markets but China is down 7% overall. Europe on the other hand is up 9% with Germany leading the charge at 11% growth. ...Published on 08-02-2018 02:02 PM
Some of you might be saying there are many cars faster than this but this is an SUV. For an SUV to hit 300 kph like this just goes to show how remarkable this age of performance truly is. We're taking an SUV making 186 miles per hour look like it is nothing. ...Published on 08-01-2018 04:01 PM
Well, Porsche is not going out of their way to hide the 992 generation Porsche 911 styling any longer. This is either a Carrera or a Carrera S and the styling is not revolutionary by any means but elegant with some 993 throwback elements such as the hood. ...Published on 08-01-2018 03:34 PM
This Turbo S was in action previously going from a dig against a 680 whp CTS-V and a Whipple Coyote. Not much is getting the jump on a Porsche 991.1 Turbo S on the street but to see what car is truly the fastest roll racing is the name of the game. ...Published on 07-30-2018 02:14 PM
The high performance naturally aspirated aspirated motor quickly became a relic in the turbo era. Fortunately, there are still some examples out there and some of the best are in this video. It is interesting that the high performance NA motor remains almost exclusively with high end high performance sports cars. ...Published on 07-27-2018 12:44 PM
The Porsche 991.1 GT3 RS has a naturally aspirated flat-6 rated at 500 horsepower. Do not confuse this with the new 991.2 GT3 RS which produces 520 horsepower. On the McChip-Dkr Superflow dynamometer in Germany the 991.1 GT3 RS struggled to put up its horsepower rating. ...Published on 07-26-2018 02:51 PM
The new GT2 RS is obviously a masterpiece but beyond the incredible Nurburgring time there has not been much test data provided for it at least as far as US outlets are concerned. Well, MotorTrend got their hands on the 2018 911 GT2 RS and the numbers are phenomenal. ...Published on 07-25-2018 12:50 PM
Why does the Macan facelift matter? Because it points to styling cues for the upcoming 992 generation Porsche 911. The most obvious of which is the styling of the taillights that are connected with a strip. ...Published on 07-25-2018 10:43 AM
Race Chip offers piggyback tuning boxes for a variety of German cars that are easy to install and provide solid if not unspectacular results. With the Porsche 991.1 Turbo platform being with us for some time now, why would one opt for a Race Chip piggyback over a flash? ...Published on 07-25-2018 09:22 AM
This is obviously sad news and FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) lost its CEO who helped organize the merger. There were many critics but it is hard to argue Chrysler, FIAT, and the various associated brands are not much better of today than they were just five years ago. ...Published on 07-24-2018 11:54 AM
Fabspeed Motorsports has an in-house tuner and that tuner is Hydra Motor Works. Previously we saw a 991.2 3.0 tune from Hydra Motor Works on a Porsche 911 Carrera S. This 991.2 3.0 is a 911 T model which means it has the same output and turbochargers as the standard Carrera. ...Published on 07-24-2018 10:32 AM
Mercedes-AMG had another strong showing and a 1-2 finish but they received a rather large gift from Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel who locked up and hit a wall while leading the race. Rain came pouring in and some cars were caught with the wrong tires. ...Published on 07-20-2018 04:42 PM
The mid-size luxury performance sedan market has essentially come down to this, drag racing. You can blame the twin turbo V8 motors and their torque necessitating all wheel drive and perhaps Tesla as well who turned the measure of a sports sedan into a 0-60 sprint. ...
It's a shame...
