We are nearing the Porsche 992 generation 911 Turbo reveal. This latest test mule was spotted uncovered doing some lap testing. Based on the exhaust design, this is the Turbo S model which is expected to receive a minor bump in horsepower. ...Published on 10-19-2019 12:41 PM
The idea of a compressor powered by electricity is nothing new. Mass adoption of a turbo that uses electricity to instantly spin the compressor before having to wait for exhaust gases certainly would be new. That is what Garrett promises with the E-Turbo set to hit the market in 2021. ...Published on 10-18-2019 09:11 AM
Squeezing power out of the naturally aspirated Porsche 911 GT3 is not easy. Even Porsche has a tough time doing and they have the world's best engineers. Dundon Motorsports showed the ability on more than one occasion to get solid gains from the 991.2 GT3 4.0 among other GT3 motors. ...Published on 10-17-2019 11:32 AM
This 458 Italia used to pull on this 991.2 Carrera T. Well, no longer. The result is particularly impressive considering the 911 Carrera T shares the smallest turbos of the 991.2 3.0 lineup along with the Carrera. ...Published on 10-17-2019 11:21 AM
The idea of a Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami is not anything new. It was on again then off again and now it appears it really is happening. The Formula 1 Grand Prix of Miami is expected to take place in 2021. ...Published on 10-17-2019 08:25 AM
This is in German but you do not need to speak the language to see what happens. To be noted, the drag race is in the wet but as both cars are all wheel drive it is not quite as large of a factor as it would be if one was rear wheel drive. ...Published on 10-16-2019 10:39 AM
Now that the 9A2B6 3.0 twin turbo flat-6 Porsche 911 models have some miles on them more owners are willing to modify their cars seeing what reliable and stout powerplants they have with plenty left in them to uncork. ...Published on 10-15-2019 12:04 PM
The Taycan Turbo and Turbo S models obviously cost a pretty penny. Porsche is introducing the cheaper and less powerful Taycan 4S which will take the battle to Tesla closer to the mid-range EV sedan level. ...Published on 10-11-2019 08:33 PM
You may have noticed Porsche went from 3.0 liters turbocharged to 4.0 liters naturally aspirated with the 9A2B6 engine design for the new 718 Boxster Spyder and Cayman GT4 models. They designed the motor with this modular flexibility in mind. ...Published on 10-11-2019 08:02 PM
One of the (few) good things Car and Driver does these days is the Lightning Lap which is possible thanks to their resources. This year has a good field but it is missing a few notables namely the C8 Corvette, Mustang GT500, and Ferrari 488 Pista. ...Published on 10-10-2019 04:52 PM
Why do people straightline race Porsche 911 GT3's? The car is quick by virtue of its light weight and high strung naturally aspirated flat-6 but Porsche makes turbocharged 911's for power junkies that want straightline speed. ...Published on 10-10-2019 04:34 PM
@Emre@Esmotor sure is tuning a lot of fast stock internal Porsche 911 Turbos as of late. This is a 991.2 Turbo S running a Syvecs standalone. It has the ESMotor ES850R turbo kit which propels it to 9.232 @ 151.09 in the 1/4 mile. ...Published on 10-09-2019 10:43 PM
Maybe a little late to the party here but nice to have options. They bill this as a value in the Porsche aftermarket and that is true to a degree but $2195 for a cat-back system is not cheap. This is a completely bolt in, plug and play affair. ...Published on 10-08-2019 08:50 PM
The Shelby GT350 is in another comparison shootout hot on the heels of Car and Driver's best $60k sports car comparison. The GT350 won that comparison and MotorTrend has it punching up a weight class taking on the brand new 992 Porsche 911 Carrera S. ...Published on 10-07-2019 10:00 PM
Well, we knew this was coming after a stock internal Porsche 991.1 Turbo with the ESMotor ES850R kit ran a 9.040 @ 156.79 in the 1/4 mile a couple months back. Congratulations to @Emre@Esmotor who tuned this 991.1 Turbo S for the 8-second run. ...
Variable compression engine possible thanks...
This sounds absolutely fascinating but...
