He's traded his oversized beanies and breathable track suits for a warm tweed ensemble. Jay Kay, better known as the lead of funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai, has come to appreciate the quieter parts of life and, like the change in his choice in clothing, he's moved on from purple Lamborghinis to softer sedans.

The 572-Horsepower 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo Offers Sportier Options
The 911 Turbo has historically occupied a place few other cars have. While there are a few comparable dual-purposers out there, the 911 Turbo has a little more cachet and capability than most sports-tourers do. It must be said, though, that the tendency has been to push the heavy Turbo towards the GT-end of the spectrum—further and further with …

The specs aren't all that alike, the shapes are quite dissimilar, and each car's ethos differs significantly. Perhaps never a better comparison could be made between quick vehicles of a higher caliber. One car epitomizes real-world acceleration, and depending on the company it keeps, it can be seen as an underdog. The other is the undisputed hot …

Compared to the 991 the 992's greatest growth was lateral. While all 911s are now (effectively) wide-bodies- even the haunches of a base Carrera don't taper towards the rear of the car as they did on 911s of old, the Turbo seems to take this to extremes. The front track is an astounding 42mm wider than its predecessor, and the rear is up 10mm from …

With as much as 760 horsepower and 774 lb-ft of torque, the sleek and understated Taycan Turbo S could be called a sleeper. With four-wheel drive and a clever transmission to make the most out of the two electric motors' output, the Taycan Turbo S is absurdly fast. In fact, it's now Porsche's fastest accelerating road car—and it can seat four …

While these two supercars don't exactly cater to same demographics, they do possess similar straightline strengths. The soft, silent, bubble-bodied Porsche Turbo S looks almost modest when stood against the angular, wing-clad Lamborghini Huracan Performante—especially when it's doused in a coat of metallic lilac. More powerful and much lighter, the …

"I love this car so much", Matt Farah says of the 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S, and we can't exactly blame him. The widebody bruiser is a mega machine, potentially the only Grand Touring Supercar in the world. With a sub-3 second zero to 60 time and a top speed over 200 miles per hour, it smashes basically anything from Ferrari or Lamborghini or …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0McJBBUiKMk With the air quite thin at the top of Pikes Peak (14,114' above sea level), forced induction is required to keep a competitive pace. Almost invariably, those at the sharp-end of the pack use turbos or superchargers, and this monster—titled "The Porsche 911 Turbo S GT3R America Cup"—uses a …

I'd like to start by making it known that it is a shame Chris Harris' stuff has been moved from YouTube to a native video player on the Top Gear website.
