Porsche tuner TechArt has created the GTstreet RS, a hardcore version of the already-insane 630 HP GTstreet. Even though the current 530 HP Porsche 911 GT2 is the fastest production 911 ever, some people just want more. So, the GTstreet RS takes a standard GT2 and applies horsepower, resulting in a 700 HP monster…

We first saw the new BMW M3 racer earlier this year at its Chicago Auto Show reveal. Now, after a year of development, the finished product has taken to the track for a test run as it's readied to do battle in the ALMS GT2 class against the likes of the Porsche 911 and Ferrari F430.

For those who didn't watch the entire 24 Hours Of Le Mans by subsisting on a diet of Bawls and Pop Rocks this weekend, we've got a short wrap-up for you. We'll leave the salient details for below the jump, just in case there are some of you out there that TiVo'd the festivities and are planning to dole out the…

Aston Martin finally got around to taking photos of its new Vantage GT2 racecar. A step above the Vantage N24 road-going racer, the GT2 will compete in ALMS, FIA GT and Le Mans series. We told you a couple of weeks ago that the 4.3-liter V8 will run on either ethanol or gasoline and should make about 480bhp. There's…

We went to the Porsche event with high hopes of amazing unveils for the never before seen Porsche Boxster RS60 Spyder, Porsche RS Spyder, Porsche Cayenne GTS and Porsche 911 GT2. Imagine our disappointment when we got there and realized we've seen them all before, unlike the Porsche press release had implied. About the …

We've known for a while that Aston Martin was preparing a GT2 Racer based on the V8 Vantage. But now, thanks to the guys at UltimateCarPage, we've got photos of it in action during a test session at the Paul Ricard circuit. The 4.3-liter V8 is expected to make around 480 HP. So, this is a couple steps up from the…

Porsche has updated their successful 911 GT3 RSR racer for 2008. Already the most powerful 911 based race car coming out of the Porsche Motorsport factory, the update boasts increased mechanical grip through a revised suspension and benefits from a swapping out of the 6-speed sequential gearbox for one more closely…

From the can't get nearly enough of the Porsche GT2 department comes these shots from the Frankfurt floor. Yes, we have posted the spy photos and brochure. And yes, we've even unearthed a video of the widowmaker. Alas, we have yet to find a good frankfurter mit mustard here in Frankfurt. Specifications and press…

Here in Frankfurt, Porsche downplayed the release of its new, batshit-mad 911 — the GT2. Instead, boss Wendelin Wiedeking spent his keynote vehemently defending Porsche's environmental record in the face of Greenpeace allegations of extreme piggishness. He also asserted Ferdinand Porsche built a gas-electric hybrid in…

Porsche dropped some b-roll of its latest widowmaker, the lightweight 911 GT2, destined for unveiling tomorrow at the Frankfurt Messe. The world's motoring press and a few close friends will get the first up-close look at the first stock 200-mph+ 911, powered by a turbocharged 3.6-liter boxer six with Porsche's…

Right at the halfway mark when I was about to report that all was well, two Porsches tangled going into turn one. A clip led to a spin and eventually the two ended up mating tail to tail and blocking the whole track - that's gotta be embarassing. Everybody get's back on the track under their own power, car 71 pits,…

Could Porsche have made this GT2 Commercial better? Yeah, sure. Like, if the car turned more than once, well, we'd be all over that. Or if the clip was ten minutes longer. That would work, too. However, motion picture footage of a 530 hp 911 being chased by a helicopter, well, we ain't kicking it out of bed. Enjoy.…

Porsche rolled out a new web presence for the recently homologated 530-horsepower, 204-mph GT2. From the school of counterintuitive market messaging, the company's touting the widowmaker's estimated fuel economy, which is the equivalent to a combined 22.6 mpg in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), which begins…

Hopefully he'll remember her on Secretary's Day, and not just with some crappy flower vase shaped like Ziggy. (graphic version here) [Carzi.com]

The boys over at the Top Gear web site have apparently decided the secret's out already on the new Porsche 911 (997) GT2. To make sure they're able to enjoy the Porsche-enthusiast love as much as the rest of the internet they've shot out a small load of press pics on their website along with some more details. Chief…

Oh look, the folks who enjoy the fast lane on a daily basis snagged a quick video of the 997-based Porsche 911 GT2 from the same spy photogs who gathered the shots we showed you earlier. Not much more else to say about it — although we're really glad they put it in the front of their daily automotive meta-mix.…
