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...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
