Porsche 979K – A Modern Day Porsche 959?

I keep looking at the pictures of this car, trying to digest what I’m seeing and where the connections are to the Porsche 959 wündercar from the 1980’s. A Porsche enthusiast in Japan named Takeshi Kitano, created a one off car using a Porsche 911 Turbo (997) as a starting point. As far as I […]

McLaren P1 Video Released

I’ve really come to love McLaren cars over the past year. I find myself dreaming about them as much as I do other exotics, sharing space in my mental dream garage. This new McLaren P1 video just continues to bolster the love affair. I had the video sound cranked up when I played it and […]

Is Porsche Working On A Ferrari Killer?

I saw this come across my scan late last night, but didn’t have time to post it. Several automotive sites are whipping us back into a frenzy over what Porsche may or may not be working on. Last November, the Internet was abuzz about a possible new model to fill the gap between the ultra-exclusive […]

4 Cars Take On The 200 MPH Mark

Most car guys are also speed freaks. At least the modern day car guys. That’s not to say there out breaking the law and driving dangerously on public roads. No, but many of them, if not most, do dream about the ultimate mark our modern day supercars chase after. Topping the 200 MPH mark. I […]

Prototype Porsche 959 Goes For A Surprising Amount

This past weekend, Barrett-Jackson auctioned off one of four remaining Porsche 959 prototype vehicles left in existence (The Holy Grail of Porsche 959s Goes Up For Auction). I fully expected this car to sell for a price in the millions. As I mentioned, it’s 1 of only 4 of these cars left, it’s a prototype, […]

Porsche Book Is An Eye Pleaser

Recently Motorbooks sent me a review copy of a book from their First Gear series titled simply Porsche. It’s a bit smaller size, but nice and thick with 240 pages of Porsche goodness. The First Gear series offers more of an intro type of book covering a broad range of automotive topics including motorsports, car […]

Singer 911 Review Video

It’s been a few months since we’ve seen anything about the Singer 911. The first time I came across the Singer Porsche was a little over 3 years ago (Singer Porsche 911). That burnt orange car is easily one of my top 5 favorite photos of the last 5 years. I happened across the above […]

New Maserati Quattroporte Updates The Brand’s Flagship Car

For a good 3 or 4 years now I’ve really wanted to own a Maserati Quattroporte. The other models are nice rides, but the Quattroporte is the one on the list of cars to own some day. Don’t ask me why. It could be the Quattroporte that appeared in Entourage that put this car on […]

Porsche Art Video

I’m amazed at some of the talent of street artists. Especially with huge murals. To have that kind of vision and be able to execute on what’s in your brain. Amazing! This one includes a cool Porsche 911 in it.

Pagani Huayra Supercar Video

I came across this video this morning while looking around YouTube. It’s not a short one, but well worth the watch. The video details the development, testing process, and some history behind the Pagani Huayra. Talk about a dedicated car builder, Horacio Pagani has got to be one of the most passionate car builders on the […]
