Most systems produce a loud "pop," often accompanied by visible flames. Though some owners of modified cars will tolerate the occasional fireball, a new Turbo S owner …

Celebrity ownership doesn't usually tend to do anything to increase a Porsche's value at auction, unless that celebrity is Steve McQueen or others closely and famously associated with the marque. In this case, however, an exception might be made for one of the best NFL players of all time, Walter Payton (or Sweetness as he was known around the …

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.
