Porsche Covers its Enormously Complicated and Ridiculously Overloaded 911 Range

Confession time: I don’t know what the hell 911 people are talking about most of the time. Apart from the 911 GT2 RS (whose distinction from the 911 GT3 RS is a little unclear to me) the 911 lineup is a frightening an mysterious mess to me and I can’t tell one from the other.

Seriously, you could rattle off all the suffixes you wanted and I still wouldn’t know if your 911 was designed to impress your golf buddies or blitz the Nurburgring faster than a Lambo.

Fortunately, I seem not to be the only one, because Porsche has taken time out of its busy 911-naming schedule to actually go through the whole lineup. And time it must have taken, too, because there are no fewer than 24 variations of 911 available to buyers. How does Porsche train its salespeople?

Got that? Good. Alright, the next test is on chassis codes and which ones are worth mere thousands versus which are worth millions for some reason.

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 ...
