I'm experiencing a minor love affair with Magnus' 964. Everything about Magnus is extroverted, from his personal appearance to his usual 3-color "boy racer" paint jobs. His 964 is understated by comparison. The paintwork is a simple monochromatic grey, which almost hides the wide array of changes made to the basic 964 shape. From the shaved rain …

Neel Jani and his trainer Helmut Fink have been working together since Jani was just 18 years old. Jani's offseason training regimen appears far removed from motorsports.

In 1987 the fastest car in the world didn't come from Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche.
