The new GT3 RS has been prematurely shown off to the internet via Australia's DRIVE website (it's since been pulled). Fortunately, others grabbed it before it went down and now it's everywhere as these Porsche factory press release photos seem to indicate (at least they appear to be factory photos). The car will allegedly make its official debut at …

RS Spyders Duel at Laguna Seca
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 …

TPC Racing started their racing outfit in the late eighties; refining the turbocharger systems for the Nissan 300ZXs, Mazda RX7 Twin Turbos, Lotus Turbo Esprits and Consulier GTPs of the IMSA GTU series. That sort of background manifests quite clearly in two aspects of this monstrous "GT2"—the paddleboard-sized intercooler, which looks like it …

I have to be honest. The first few times I watched Matt Prior's reviews, I felt a little underwhelmed. Here was a middle-aged man with a gift for language, seated behind the alcantara-wrapped wheel of an exciting sports car, and somehow he made this divine piece of machinery seem clinical, bland, and practical. Yet, the more I listen to him, the …

For fans of ludicrously-powerful Porsches on the hillclimb, Herbert Pregartner is likely a familiar name. The man has campaigned some of the wildest 911-based monsters on Austrian, German, and Swiss hillclimbs for decades now. With no intention of stopping, a small fortune reserved for racing, and a competitive nature, it seems he's intent on …

First held in 1927, the Falperra International Hill Climb follows a 3.2 mile course, climbing 860 vertical feet, to the summit of Falperra in Bragua, Portugal. Despite being one of the most popular races in Portugal (it attracts up to 200,000 spectators each year) the race was cancelled for numerous years (2002 - 2010) due to the failure of local …

How is that for a superlative? When the first 911 Turbo Carreras came to the United States in 1975, they produced 234 horsepower. In 1975, that was the most potent street legal 911 money could buy. Fast forward to 2017, and the most powerful street legal 911 produces 700 horsepower. Let that sink in for a moment. Near-as-makes-no-difference that is …

Let me begin by saying that this report on my experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire is entirely based on subjective feedback.

Not only that, but the old Sumitomo …
