For all of Doug DeMuro's fastidiousness, he appreciates the bolder bits of an analog sports car. Perhaps nothing best deserves that title in recent years than the Carrera GT. It's killed actors, struck fear in the hearts of stoic journalists, and rightfully earned a place on the Mt. Olympus of supercars. It's also the last of a breed, sadly, as …

The Dean Jeffries 356 Carrera Is The Weird-Looking Grandfather Of The Outlaw
1950s Los Angeles was an incredible time and place for car culture. With inspiration from hot rod culture, kustom culture, and European imports, the body workers of the area were crafting some truly incredible one-off masterpieces. Having worked with George Barris, Dean Jeffries got his start in the industry doing custom car work, which eventually …

https://youtu.be/Rf34n2rxzUI When Porsche opted for water cooling in the late nineties, many were affronted. Some would go on to enjoy the merits of this technology then and there, but there's no denying that with the 996 Carrera, the styling, size, and feel of the car had changed in an uncomfortable sort of way.

Dan Prosser might be one of the best spoken and most technically savvy journalists in the biz, and he can drive as well as any of them. He doesn't begin this particular video with a very intriguing premise, however, since we can easily surmise the 992 Carrera is the better everyday car, and the Cayman GT4 is a wildchild for the weekend.

We all know that the 911 has grown a lot, but seeing Doug DeMuro next to this Lizard Green 992 has really cemented just how much. All 992s are now "widebody" cars, and as a result a base Carrera is a whopping 72.9" wide. That's 4.5" wider than a 993 (though perhaps about the same as a Carrera RS), or 3.2" wider than a 996. It's a full 10" longer …

Comparing Rupert Schwaiger's 800-horsepower Carrera to a 997 GT3 Cup is the stuff racing geeks lose sleep over. In the green corner, Schwaiger's machine makes twice the power and weighs less, but it doesn't benefit from the silky smooth power delivery of the Cup Car. As we see here, power and weight are important, but how that power and weight are …

John Gunderson has a knack for bringing the right people into the picture. When he wanted to blend the urgency and colorful exterior of the legendary 917 with a usable road car, he came up with this. A '73 911 Blending the classic Gulf livery, a 2,200-pound frame, and a 350-horsepower motor from Rothsport, is bound to convert even the most cynical …

Ford currently produces eleven Mustang derivatives, and Chevrolet makes eight Corvette variants(both of these figures include the coupe and convertible variations of the same trim separately). That's a lot of choices from a nation known for customizing and individualization. Where variations on a theme are concerned, the Americans cannot be …

Though it might not look like anything other than a strangely pristine 964, this silver Carrera holds a special place in Porsche history. As the last birthday present gifted to Louise Piëch née Porsche, daughter of Ferdinand and sister of Ferry, it is the last car of a matriarch with a unique flair for life. This special Porsche now belongs to …
