After reporting on the Swiss GT3 […]
We don’t like bringing you this story. Not one little bit. You see, to us, the Porsche 911 GT3 is one of our most yearned for cars. To see one go up in flames like this makes us rather sad. The loss happened near St Gallen in Switzerland and the key paragraph of the official […]
McLaren’s entry-level P13 model will be launched at next year’s Geneva Motor Show, according to Autocar. When it does go on sale it won’t be badged as the P13, although it’s final model name isn’t known just yet.

New drawings have emerged showing the 991 911 Targa. As you can see the Targa returns to an old skool look with the silver rollover hoop and dramatically curved rear window. Most notably, removable roof panels are back, after the 997 had what amounted to an oversized sunroof. There has been talk in the past […]
Porsche held its annual Night of Champions event over the weekend and with that came the news its 2014 LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 hybrid.
