What Makes a Grand Tourer? Panamera Turbo vs. DB11 vs. McLaren 570GT
If you asked me yesterday which Porsche was the brand's greatest Grand Touring car, I would have said "928 GT."

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 …
