    Porsche is cooking up a new generation of its 911 GT2, and this time around the German firm is skipping the standard GT2 and going straight to the full-bore GT2 RS. Some outlets were recently allowed to ride shotgun in a prototype, including Sport Auto which filmed this quick clip of the car starting up and then spiriting away. Towards the end, it looks like the driver was demonstrating a launch control mode. Though brief, the clip heralds great things to come and leaves us salivating for more. The sound is raw, meaty and very loud. Impressively, there's just a twin-turbocharged flat-6 hidden...

    2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio track day: exhilaration and disappointment

    Italian cars are known for two things: driving passion and a finicky nature. So when I finagled my way into a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio for a track day event, I was hoping that I would experience the former and avoid the latter. Instead I got a healthy dose of both.

  • Nissan GT-R four wheel burnout

    All-wheel drive is not conducive for a traditional burnout, but Hoonigan got creative to make it happen. Taylor Steffes, the owner of the Nissan GT-R in this video, drove her car from Arizona to California to just to say hello to the guys and gals at Hoonigan.

Anyway, Steffes brought her car and decided to have some fun with it. With around 800 horsepower (640 hp or so at the wheels) on E85, the GT-R features upgraded fuel injectors, a...
