Porsche 911 Turbo
-
Porsche has slowly been introducing updated versions of its 911 family, with most of the cars now featuring turbocharged engines—previously a bragging right of the actual ‘Turbo’ models only. However, to ensure that the 911 Turbo models still reign supreme, they’ve been given a power boost that sees them encroach on supercar territory.

That represents a 20-hp bump in power for each...

The Lamborghini Gallardo will soon be replaced by the new Huracán, but that doesn't mean it's obsolete just yet--in fact, it appears to have something to offer against even the 991 Porsche 911 Turbo, at least when it's in Super Trofeo Stradale form. MUST WATCH: LaFerrari Duels With Ferrari Enzo On Precarious Mountain Roads: Video While the race is hair-splittingly close, and may have more to do with the drivers than either car as to the final outcome, it's clear that one of the hottest road-going Gallardos still has plenty of fight left in it. To back up the straight-strip results, the...

We’ve always known that Chevrolet’s Corvette Z06 was good, but we'd never have imagined that it could beat Porsche’s AWD 911 Turbo around a race track and with a lead of 2.6 seconds to boot. The test was carried out by Swedish magazine Auto Motor and Sport, who pitted the two cars against each other at Mantorp Park in Sweden, near Saab’s aircraft factory in Linkoping. Comments from test driver and STCC champion Richard Ekblom included gems like “the Porsche felt feminine in comparison with the Z06” and that “it pisses on the Porsche.” Further...
