Is there any higher form of cheap entertainment than an empty parking lot the morning after it snows? In my formative years we always preferred our local baseball park's lots after a snowfall. It was guaranteed to be empty in the dead of winter, and was seldom cleared quickly. I wouldn't be shocked to find that scars dug by my Golf's studded …

The 991.2 GT3: More Similar to the McLaren 720S Than Imagined
There's an idea that many trackday junkies hold dear, and that is that the GT3 is the best of the few cars that can truly excel on the track and still work well when driven to the supermarket. It's a tough thing to achieve, and rarely does any car do both well. However, if there's another contender for that role, it's the McLaren 720S. Like the …

At Rennsport V, a collection of mouth-watering classics set out to run for stands full of fans. Some drivers take the whole affair casually; parading and showing off their wares, while others—unable to divorce themselves from their competitive instincts—take it much more seriously. Jeroen Bleekemolen is part of this second category, and shows …

It's hard to fathom that what for a long time was considered the "redheaded stepchild" of the 911 family can casually dice with the latest and greatest thoroughbreds in the Porsche stable. A 991 GT3 ought to easily show an aging, 3.4-liter 996 its heels, but Guillaume Artufel's 996 remains in contention with cars costing ten times as much at the …

This three-way dance could inspire feelings of hatred or admiration for different generations of Porsche, depending on your own driving style. Clearly, our camera man, sitting behind the wheel of a well-sorted 993 RSR, is the winner where talent is concerned. However, at the ultra-fast Magny Cours, power goes a long way in compensating for lack of …

In a battle between homegrown, tuner-crazy ingenuity and strict precision mandated by strict category rules, we get a dazzling view into how two very differently-built 911s handle on a high-speed circuit. Under most circumstances, a Porsche 997 RSR, would never seem commonplace. However, the way the silver 993 Turbo in this video performs, at …

300 KmPH on the German Autobahn in a pair of Germany's best sports coupes isn't a bad way to spend the day, even when it is raining. Following that up with a day at the Nürburgring is perhaps the best weekend we could ever imagine. MotorTrend's Jethro "DeathRow" Bovingdon and Jonny "LoverMan" Lieberman take these two German four-seat turbocharged …

Often, automotive battles in the style of David and Goliath tend to stage tired duels between overweight muscle cars and anemic featherweights with predictable results. However, what happens when two talented drivers take similarly focused machines—albeit with their own advantages and disadvantages—to the track? In this instance, a heavier GT3 …
Continue to the full articleIs the GT3 Touring Better Than a 911 R? Let’s See How They Compare.
In my eyes, Porsche has been on a roll lately just turning the dial on certain models just a bit. Does the Carrera S need to be turned to 11? Yes, of course, so we have the Carrera GTS. Could the GT3 benefit from being dialed back to 9.5? Again, yes. The new GT3 Touring fills that niche beautifully. When I first saw the GT3 Touring, I was a little …

With hundreds of thousands of dollars separating these two track tools, the owner of the lava orange 991 might feel a trifle embarrassed after getting hounded by a 993. However, he shouldn't feel too badly, because the man in the understated 993—a Mr. Sandro Ziegler—is a virtuoso. To be fair to the owner of the GT3 RS, this section of the …
