520 HP for the Updated 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The updated 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS has leaked online through three rather low-resolution images.

For 2018, the GT3 RS has received the same cosmetic modifications as the standard GT3, which include redesigned front air intakes and different LED daytime running lights. There’s also a revised rear fascia and the NACA duct hood from the GT2 RS. Apart from these subtle changes, the GT3 RS looks mostly the same as the outgoing model, sporting the same wheels, body side decals, side air intakes and large rear wing as before.

Porsche has also fiddled with the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter inline six engine, which is now making an extra 20 hp for a maximum output of 520 hp at 8,250 RPM. The same seven-speed PDK transmission is also on the cards. The sprint from 0-60 will happen in just 3.2s and the top speed should sit around 192 mph.

This is just a leak, so stay tuned for official information and images on the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS prior to its debut.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
