In following with the redesign Porsche introduced last fall on the Panamera, the 2015 Cayenne is also getting a facelift, along with a scad of new features. The Macan's big-brother is continuing to grow up with sharper exterior lines, some new pretty headlamps, a pair of "3D tail lamps", and an injection of that "familial DNA" that Porsche seems to be infusing across their entire lineup these …

Back in March, Elephant Racing posted a short video showing us how the rear-wheel steering works on the new Porsche 911 GT3.

Especially when you consider the fact that the luggage was designed by the Porsche Design Studio and developed alongside the 918 in Weissach.

Maybe 'owner' is too strong a word. Perhaps 'custodian' is more appropriate for a car like this. This car is eternal, and won't ever truly be owned, rather were you to take delivery of this rare and beautiful Porsche 993 RSR, you would be preserving it for a future generation.

If you're a car guy or girl, and you've been somewhere other than living under a rock since 2008, you will have no doubt at least heard of Ken Block and his "Gymkhana" videos on YouTube. The recipe is simple, take one modified car, drive it fast, make lots of handbrake turns, do donuts around cones, do wild lurid drifts, and generally act like a hooligan in the driver's seat. Being childish in a …

You asked some interesting questions that were certainly worth answering, and we did our best to find out for you.
