2016 Porsche 911 Caught Undisguised

Much more than just a simple facelift, Porsche’s 2016 911 will be more about what you don’t immediately see than what you do.  The first of Stuttgart’s non-Turbo or GT2 cars to feature forced induction, the 991.2 has received many, many updates to ensure that it’s new turbocharged flat-six will remain cool.  These include a new front end with revised vents, an updated rear bumper with additional ventilation and a center-exit exhaust, and new rear hood with, you guessed it, more vents.

Moving beyond the cooling provisions, the more eagle-eyed will notice that the car has new door handles, updated headlights, and other small stylistic upgrades.  We’re told that the car will receive updated infotainment as well.

With the addition of turbocharged non-Turbo Porsche models, comes chatter of a slightly less expensive, “stripped down” model.  Think of it as Porsche shifting back to the ‘purist’ formula- less being more, except when it comes to pedals.  For the time being, we haven’t heard anything concrete so this is nothing more than pure speculation.  Still, it would be interesting to see what a less expensive 911 model would do to the overall sales figures.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
