For the 1998 Monterey Historics, the iconic Sunoco 917-30 was brought out of retirement and driven in a way that would've made Mark Donohue proud. Its 1,000 horsepower were sent through a spool, which made the handling a little less than sophisticated—but, fortunately for our entertainment, great to watch. This vulgar display of power can give …

Porsche Debuts Production-Ready 911 Speedster At New York Auto Show
We knew it was coming, we knew it would be limited, and we knew what it would look like, but it's still a joy to see the 991.2-generation Speedster finally in production-ready trim. Only 1948 examples of this open-top 911 will be built, and it's likely that its most of the way to being sold out by now, if it isn't already. What you're looking at …

Built to dominate Can-Am racing in the early 1970s, the Porsche 917-30s wielded as much as 1,600 horsepower to mortify the men driving them and to leave an indelible mark on motorsport's history.

While sales were up in North America thanks to booming sales in the US and Canada, every other market Porsche sells in has seen decline over the last year.

Mr. Keen's cars are brilliant, and Matt Farah's personal car is one of the most interesting of the lot. Farah's Safari is finished in Cassis Red, a rather polarizing and …
