The GT2 class of the American Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans is about to get a little sexier. Rocketsports Racing unveiled a handful of renderings of its entry into both arenas – a GT2-prepped Jaguar XKR. The team’s keeping its lips sealed on horsepower numbers, but there’s a 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated [...]

I. Hot on Ferrari’s heels, Toyota released their new F1 car, the TF109. To make the debut more exciting, Toyota made a sweet big-screen style movie trailer to debut the car. Hit the link to see it. Like the F60, it’s had to undergo some fairly hideous aero mods, including a wider front wing and [...]

Looks like the fine folks of BMW’s ALMS team have been putting their new toy through its paces at Road Atlanta. The GT2 M3 was spotted darting around the Georgia track last weekend. The car’s competition debut should be in next year’s 12 hours of Sebring in March. Until then, the BMW boys and girls [...]

In the twisted realm that is the automotive world, 2008 will be remembered for many things. American titans groveling for help, the death of many a beloved publication and the birth of the Nissan/Porsche rivalry. Driver’s Republic has set out to discover just which is faster—the Nissan GT-R or its most favored prey, the Porsche [...]

Porschephiles, car nerds and stoked trophy wives have long referred to the Porsche GT2 as simply the “Widowmaker.” At heart the GT2 is a Porsche Turbo with less weight, more power and two fewer wheels driven. The 996 iteration was particularly menacing as it had no traction control whatsoever. In fact, the new 997 GT2 has been [...]

Do these guys have all the fun, or what? We showed you Motor Trend’s recent test of the mighty Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 just the other day, and it looks like the guys and gals weren’t done with the king of the ‘Vettes. With a stunt that’s bred straight out of playground arguments on exactly which [...]

Let the mudslinging begin. Porsche is claiming something’s fishy about Nissan’s claim that the GT-R managed to lap Nurburgring at 7 minutes, 29 seconds. The lap time — set back in May — puts the Japanese supercar ahead of the best that either Porsche’s 911 Turbo or GT2 can lay down ‘round Green Hell. So [...]

Please excuse the lack of reports from Tanner Foust’s European Vacation (TFEV), but he’s has been on the road and out of internet contact for a couple of days. Though he did send over some pics of the car he’s now decided as his favorite of the trip, the GT2 based Techart Porsche GTstreet RS. [...]

Taking a Porsche GT2 (i.e. der Widowmaker) and improving on its sledge hammerish thrust isn’t easy. The guys at GEMBALLA have given it a shot with their Avalanche 600GT2 EVO. If that’s too much of a mouth full for you, just focus on the important part: 600. As in 600 blistering horsepower and a little [...]

Unfortunately we didn’t get thrown the keys to these two ultimate performance flagships from the hallowed Ferrari and Porsche brands. But we did just come across a nice piece at the London Times Online that will give you a good glimpse into which one you should throw down the hard earned cash should it be [...]
