Is A Smaller 911 With A Bigger Engine On The Way?
Porsche's new 992 is a great car, but it's about as far removed from the original 911 sporting heritage as it can get.

The climb to the daily-drivable supercar has been a long one. While the Miura was nicely appointed, it was the later Maserati Bora that showed the world that a world-beating supercar could actually be a civilized machine.
