On paper the Porsche 918 Spyder is the least impressive of the three hybrid hypercars, which also includes the LaFerrari and McLaren P1.

UK publication Car magazine brings the scoop that the 991-based 911 GT3 RS will carry over the PDK transmission and electronic power steering from the just released 911 GT3 (pictured).

AIMS 2012 gallery: Porsche
We love Porsche for many things. Chief among them is the Porsche–Australia relationship. It’s a genuinely strong one, thanks largely to Norman Hamilton who played a key role in the development of right-hand drive Porsches and began importing them here 61 years ago. One of the legacies of that relationship is the sight of a […]
We’re sorry that we’re bringing you even more Porsche 918 Spyder content. But when Walter Röhrl speaks, we tend to listen. Okay, in this promo piece from Porsche, Walter doesn’t really say a lot. Consider this, though; Walter Röhrl, the Nürburgring and Porsche’s latest supercar—it’s a combination that can’t be ignored. Don’t you agree? We […]
Driving is better than talking. So, as much as we love the 918 Spyder, we prefer last week’s Chris Harris video where he was lucky enough to drive the legendary Porsche 962, which we’re belatedly sharing with you now. That said, there is some awesome discussion in this clip with Norbert Singer, the brainchild behind […]

What the hell is a Porsche Pajun?
You’re looking at a rendering for the rumoured Porsche Pajun. The what? It’s a baby Panamera which Porsche hopes will give the BMW M5 and its saloon rivals some sleepless nights. The Pajun is expected to join the Porsche model range in coming years, along with the 960 “Fefi” Ferrari fighter, as the company looks […]
Porsche wins the cool award for the year so far, thanks to this 918 prototype with monochromatic Martini livery. It just looks the business! It certainly looks much better than the Frankenstein look we saw in March, and it’s even better than more finished preview Porsche gave us back in May. And given the sales […]
