We've seen and heard the Porsche 918 driving in electric mode before, but it's always been in a much more controlled environment.

The nice folks at Michelin invited me down to Austin’s Circuit of The Americas for a full race weekend highlighted by the TUDOR United Sportscar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship.

It was the penultimate round of the TUDOR United Sports Car Championship, and Porsche was set to pull out all of the stops in order to secure a prime finish. Rather than their regular two-car entry of the 911 and 912 cars, Porsche entered a third factory-effort GTLM class 911 RSR for Fred Makowiecki and Patrick Pilet, the number 910. With a total …

When you think of Austin, Texas and the Circuit of the Americas, surely your first thought is torrential downpours and sheets of rain. Wait, that's not right.

The 981 Boxster and Cayman are gaining new model lines almost as quickly as the 991 is. The defining characteristic of the different models is horsepower. The standard 'base' car has 265 horses (275 in the Cayman), there's the S we all know and love with 315 (325 in the Cayman), and the new 330 horsepower GTS (340 in the Cayman), which continues to …

I genuinely enjoy the additional Porsche models that are decidedly “less sporty” – if only because they’re so darn successful (the Cayenne is Porsche’s best-selling model in the US) that they basically bankroll R&D efforts toward more exciting things, like the 918 Spyder, and the 991 Turbo S. Given the Cayenne’s success, many were very anxious …

There are very few experiences in the world that are more fun than a romp through the canyons with a good friend in vintage 911s. A pair of R Gruppe cars driven by a pair of reasonably capable drivers, one bright orange 2.2 liter 250-ish horsepower ST clone driven by none other than Chad McQueen, and one little "white mouse", the personal "Sports …
