The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is the fastest, most powerful road-going Porsche ever to slither out of Weissach on its belly. The Renault Megane RS is 250 horsepowers' worth of Volkswagen GTI bait. Here they are together on the Nürburgring. And, go. More »

Tiny, boring Luxemburg is not the first thing that comes to mind for spotting supercars. That’s until you consider its economics and location: a rich tax haven less than an hour from the Nürburgring. Now we’re talking. More »

Having four minutes, 17 seconds to spare is your ticket to a visual and sonic festival. Who needs circuses when you've got Willi Jenni and his 1,760-lbs 1974 Porsche 911 RSR — whose 3.4-liter flat six produces 350hp — and the Bergrennen Hillclimb. More »

Only in Monaco would you find a Bentley Azure T that's managed to plow into a Ferrari F430, damaging an Aston Martin Rapide, a Porsche 911 Carrera S and a Mercedes S-Class in the process. Monaco's body shops must make their casinos look like convents. Cela va droit à buff! More »

Remember Zach the Legomaniac? He was a rank Lego slacker compared to the guy who built this unreal Lego Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio. The details are OCDifying: The steering even turns 2.6 rotations lock-to-lock, just like a real 911. Amazing. More »

After the engine of his Porsche 911 decided to die (and take much of the cooling system along with it in some kind of powertrain suicide pact), the owner considered the $20,000 repair job and instead decided to donate the car to a non-profit. A non-profit dedicated to protecting gun rights. Let's find out what happens when you pump a car with 10,000 rounds of hot lead. More »

Don't call this a clone; it's a tribute to the 1973 Porsche Carrera RS. The owner's sunk six figures into making it such, and a porny vid of the 911 at Laguna Seca and around Monterey might help bring the $50,000 sale price he wants. More »

Remember how we told you the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 was the last 997 911? And before that, we thought maybe the 911 Speedster was the last? We were wrong both times.
