    What Started The Porsche vs. Nissan Rivalry?

    The Nissan GT-R may or may not be faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo, but Nissan has clearly scored an Axelrod-esque media victory over Porsche in the Porsche 911 Turbo v. Nissan GT-R Nürburgring controversy. The full extent of the triumph wasn't obvious to us until we read 993C4S's rivalry history lesson posted over at CarDomain today. Nissan, it appears, is even better at this than we imagined. More »

    540 HP DKR Porsche 911 Turbo Is A 911 GT2 On The Cheap

    If you want your run-of-the-mill Porsche 911 Turbo to scoot off the line with a bit more authority, get over to tuner DKR which offers an engine package for only $7,500, good for 540 HP and 571 lb-ft of torque. Considering the extent of the upgrades are an exhaust system and a performance ECU, that's a healthy kick in the ass-engine, especially since the Turbo starts off with 480 HP and 457 lb-ft. If you want crazy nonsensical novelties like "upgraded handling" and "brakes to match the power" there are suspension and brake upgrades available, but why? All you're really after is a run at that prick with the 911 GT2 you bump into at the country club (insufferable ass).

    Porsche Smells Rat, Claims Nissan Cheating On GT-R Nurburgring Lap Times

    The boys at Porsche, obviously stunned that the Nissan GT-R achieved a claimed Nurburgring lap time of 7:29 — faster than either their 911 Turbo or GT2 — decided to do a little testing of their own. Using a stock GT-R sourced from the States, Porsche's 'Ring expert was able to perform a best lap of just 7:54, easily beaten by both the 911 Turbo (7:38) and GT2 (7:34). The results were no surprise to Porsche, considering that its cars have more power yet weigh less than the GT-R, leading the engineers in Stuttgart to claim Nissan was running its tests using race tires.

    TechArt Drops The Top On 630 HP GTstreet Porsche 997 Turbo For Geneva

    Because there aren't enough variants of the Porsche 911 already, TechArt provides us with even more options for the rear-engined sportscar. This new GTstreet Convertible is a variant of a variant of a variant. That means they've taken a 911 Turbo Convertible (which is already a variant of a variant of the 911), and then added all their TechArt flim-flam to it. The end result is a 630 HP, AWD, 214 MPH, open-air adrenaline rush. Photo gallery and press release below the jump.
