  • Mika Hakkinen drives the Ferrari P4/5 Competizione

    Thirty seconds just isn't enough when it comes to watching the Glickenhaus Ferrari P4/5 Competizione on track, especially when it's being guided by the skillful hands of Mika Salo. But that's all we get. Listen for the crackling burble under deceleration between blips of the throttle as Salo downshifts for the corners. Auditory ecstasy? We think so.

    Porsche has already confirmed a new model debut for next week’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show, with one official boastfully describing it as something “spectacular”. While the automaker has several brand new models in the pipeline--the production version of last year’s awesome 918 Spyder Concept, a new entry-level sports car and compact SUV--the release of these models is still several years away, at the earliest. Instead, we’re more likely to see a model previewed not for general sale but rather one aimed at well-heeled racing enthusiasts and professional motorsport...
