If you asked me yesterday which Porsche was the brand's greatest Grand Touring car, I would have said "928 GT." In fact, I probably would have gotten more specific and said "928 GT in black with grey leather and dual zone AC." Today, however, the nature of grand touring has changed.

It seems like almost every car in Russia, and other former Eastern Bloc countries, has some sort of dash cam installed. For good reason, too. They capture more accidents and more automotive viral videos than any other region of the world I can think of. The video below is a great example. According to the story we read on Carbuzz.com the …

One of the things that I love about Porsche is the exhaust note. In fact, it was this sound that first drew us to Porsche motorsports (you've gotta love a sport you can hear before you can see it).

The new Porsche Panamera has been unjustly likened to a tank by some. Well now there might be just cause. Porsche is known for offering a myriad of options on all their new cars. However, when I recently used the Porsche car configurator to option out a new Panamera, I thought I had all there was on offer including a refrigerator in the back seat …
