Even thirty two years on the little details of the 959 can make other 911-based cars seem pedestrian. Where the GT2 RS is a wild machine covered in scoops, wings, and hyperbole, its floor is mere metal. The 959 separates its occupants from the pavement with nomex. Point, 80s dream machine. It seems that every other trait about the car is similarly …

Comparing The GT3 Touring With A 911T Is An Interesting Exercise

The Goodwood Hillclimb course up the Duke of Richmond's driveway is 1.86 kilometers (1.16 miles) long. A blazing fast run up the hill takes about 50 seconds, and includes nine corners and a number of hazards for the racers. One of the straights is stone lined, a far cry from nice, soft Armco. While a fast car can make short work of the hill, could …

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. Dynamic roll control, dynamic boost, and a whole bevy of acronyms that sound more like missile systems than …

In an age of honest sports cars, the late 1980s provided some of the most iconic cars that have ever been built. If you think back to that era and you're asked to name a German sports car, chances are pretty great you'll come up with one of these two. The fact is, despite being built in the same country at the same time, these two cars could not be …

Porsche's Macan Turbo has been the car to beat in the performance compact utility vehicle segment for quite a while, because it has an excellent blend of power, weight, and agility. There are a few competitors trying to take the Macan's crown recently, including the more lux Volvo XC60 T8, the Jaguar F-Pace, and this stunning Italian beauty, the …

Showdown911 is already a YouTube legend in his own right. Videos of him driving his 993 without a shred of fear have garnered him a respectable following.

I’ve been around air-cooled cars all my life. Both my parents had VW Beetles, so when it came time to replace my hand-me down first car, a ’71 Ford Capri, it isn’t surprising I went for a ’72 Super Beetle.
