At its base the fifty-two meter sculpture is just 12cm across. Its widest section contains six points holding six Porsches. Yes, real Porsches. You can see through the clear windows and into the interiors, and the underpinnings are visible from below. These are not hollow fiberglass display pieces, but artfully suspended real vehicles. Designed by …

Nearly every track has at least one legendary corner or section. These components can often define an entire course, and cement its reputation. What is Laguna Seca without the Corkscrew? Spa without Eau Rouge? Mount Panorama without the downhill esses? Most tracks are lucky to have one such element. Seemingly like all things about the Nürburgring, …

Long before the current 911 RSR caused controversy over abandoning the rear-engined layout, the 911 GT1 took things even further. The GT1 EVO was mostly not a 911, it was an exercise in rule bending designed to compete with the Mclaren F1. The rear half of the car was derived from the Group C dominating 962.

Saabs may have been born from jets, but even the mightiest SPG has no place on a runway alongside the F-22 Raptor. The current 911 Turbo S has a spec sheet that reads more like the ultimate air superiority fighter than a mere road car.
