Singer Vehicle Design has taken the classic Porsche 911 and given it the bleeding guts out of a newer Stuttgart creation. The team keeps the car’s roof line and everything from the windshield forward, but the engine bay goes through a little surgery to accommodate a few modifications. Singer says the company provides reinforcements all [...]
It seem Richard Hammond, of Top Gear fame, has a 1968 Ford Mustang GT, complete with a big-block 390 under the hood. Unlike my relationship with American iron, Hammond’s has been largely drama free, dishing up the kind of reliability only the most crude forms of internal combustion can deliver – until recently. A recent [...]
Last year, when the Nissan GT-R stopped by Tire Rack’s One Lap of America, it finished 11th in its class. That may seem lackluster, but considering the Nissan was bone stock and going toe-to-toe with some wild variations on cars like the Porsche 911 and the Corvette Z06, the car did fairly well. It looks [...]
Nissan’s hell bent on besting the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 at Nurburgring, and to prove it the company took the newest-generation car to Green Hell for a few hot laps. How’d it do? The Series II GT-R popped off a blistering 7m 27s time for the full 12.9 mile circuit. That’s a full 27 seconds quicker [...]
I. Koenigsegg released more details of its four-seater Quant at Geneva. It’s got a carbon monotube chassis to keep weight low and tops out at around 170 mph. Koenigsegg claims it can charge in 20 minutes and has a 310 mile range, thanks in part to regenerative braking and a photovoltaic coating on the skin, [...]
BMW’s fabled art cars hold a special place in our Fiendish hearts – right beside Locost Se7ens and vintage 911s. For those troopers that have hung around since our debut back in May of last year, you may remember one of our first Top 5’s dedicated solely to the BMW art car phenomenon. If you’ve [...]
We had some notion that much of this was coming. But honestly, LED lights and center lock hubs don’t get us too hot and bothered. Still, the Porsche GT3 is a big deal around these parts. As such, we’re excited. About what? Hows about that 3.8-liter flat six out back that now makes 435 horses. [...]
Now that we’ve seen the Nissan GT-R at play in the snowy fields of the Nürburgring, let’s take a look at how it’s done Porsche-style. Who needs all-wheel-drive when you’ve got a flat-six engine sitting right on top of the rear wheels? That’s right, the red car you see drifting through the white stuff is a [...]
I often think Boston has the worst fans in all of professional sports. And I’m often wrong. Check out these inebriated low lives beating up a hapless 911 that they feel belongs to an Eagles fan. Look, if you lose to the can’t-break-.500 Iggles — at home – it sure as hell ain’t a Porsche’s fault, even if [...]
Hurry, hurry. Step right up and plop down “just” $12,500 for an honest to goodness 911. A 911T, at that. Wait, isn’t the T (or “Touring”) the base model. It is, but don’t let that stop you. See, the T was introduced in 1968 with only 110 hp out of 2.0-liters. But, by 1970 displacement [...]
