Porsche recently proved that the Taycan Turbo S was more than capable of setting quick laps at the Nurburgring, and that got a lot of international media attention. That didn't sit well with ego maniac and cult of personality Elon Musk. As the head of California-based Tesla, he is constantly trying to use his social media soapbox to keep …

While these two supercars don't exactly cater to same demographics, they do possess similar straightline strengths. The soft, silent, bubble-bodied Porsche Turbo S looks almost modest when stood against the angular, wing-clad Lamborghini Huracan Performante—especially when it's doused in a coat of metallic lilac. More powerful and much lighter, the …

Earlier this year, we saw David Donohue send the latest GT2 RS around Road America in a staggering time of 2:15.17. Last week, IMSA ace and all-around hooligan Leh Keen took another GT2 RS around the four-mile circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin and slashed the previous record by a considerable margin. Like Donohue's car, Keen's machine wore the …

https://youtu.be/GaBhoXxfz9o Warning: Some profanity in the footage above Regardless of how much experience a racing driver has, some cars are so sharp-edged they require a sometimes painful period of adjustment. Despite being quite handy behind the wheel of a supercharged S2000 and now an A90 Supra, former formula racer Jackie Ding initially …

More than just outright speed, every focused Porsche provides outrageous robustness, and as a result, peace of mind. Driving 500 km to the Nurburgring, spending the afternoon setting scorching laps, and driving home without so much as a hiccup is purely Porsche. Fortunately, that tank-like robustness has filtered down from the 918 to the new …

Give a car to Steve Sutcliffe and he's bound to flog it within an inch of its life. He extracts every iota of performance from the car, and in addition to giving a good thrashing, gives it a fair judgement. For that reason, he's one of the best. How many journalists can run times similar to an F1 test driver in that test driver's regular F1 …

"You need to learn how to drive a slow car fast before you can drive a fast car fast," says Joe Kou, Spec Miata racer and owner of this GT3 RS.

The GT3's formula is something that stirs any driver with a drop of motor oil in their veins. A high-revving naturally-aspirated flat six engine closely related to the engine used in motorsports, rear wheel-drive, a lightweight construction, upgraded aerodynamics, and track-focused suspension made the GT3 a must for the drivers wanting a little …

More power, more aerodynamic grip, more performance, and more usability—we've heard all of the new Cayman GT4's strengths already. However, few automotive journalists can test those claims like Steve Sutcliffe. Though he might not look like a superlative athlete, the man is arguably the best driver among his peers.

With the right modifications, the 996 GT3 becomes a car that will sway the most skeptical, please the frigid, and bring out the best in the timid. Not that it was slow from the factory, but with some talented tuners and a skilled set of hands making the most out of the least loved of the GT lineup, we see that it—like every other member of its …
