It might be a hundred pounds heftier than its forebear, but the new 992 Turbo is certainly no slower [in fact it's likely much faster]. Absurdly quick from A to B, the gold standard for all-weather supercars may lose something in terms of pure agility compared to the GT members of the Porsche family, but not much.

Lightweight 930 Turbo Spits Flames at Imola!
Pierantonio Macola's 1984 930 Turbo is a time attack car that still wears license plates. Light, powerful, approachable, and still a little fierce, it's a sorted, track-oriented machine that is anything but boring. During a trip to Imola, he puts on quite a show with much faster, paddle-shifted machinery struggling to match his pace. The …

The one chink in the Mezger's armor is its flimsy coolant pipes. For such a bulletproof motor, it seems strange that Porsche just glued the coolant pipes on. Though press-fitted, these coolant lines are known to pop off under high RPM load. Hoovie's lousy luck meant his first trip to Heartland Motorsports Park was interrupted by his own lines …

Covered in a mysterious shade of purple, this 2019 Cayenne Turbo is quite a looker. Broad hips, a tasteful (and cabin-controlled) rear spoiler, and some muscular bodywork give the SUV a truly athletic appearance. Though modern tires and gearboxes make many sportier SUVs of today capable of handling an undulating backroad with grace, not many look …

We've talked a bit about Bisimoto's wild 911 in the past. The car made its debut when it was featured on Matt Farah's Tuned show back in late 2015, and has been periodically spotted at SEMA and Luftgekuhlt—despite being watercooled—events since.
