Sent in by the owner of the car, Chad, this video shows Long...

Porsche is the latest international automaker to exit Iran, following the likes of Hyundai and Toyota which have also recently pulled out of the country. Iran has the world’s 13th largest auto industry so exiting the market is no small deal for any automaker, even for niche brands like...

The Nardò, Italy proving ground has a long and storied history of high-speed vehicle testing, and its biggest claim to fame is that the 7.8 mile long Nardo Ring oval track can be driven without steering input at speeds up to 149 mph. The Nardò proving ground also contains a 3.9 mile...

Porsche has finally unveiled a successor for its hardcore Cayenne GTS, an SUV with sports car-like performance and which at the time of its launch was billed as one of the fastest production off-roaders on the planet. The new model, which also bears the GTS badge, makes its official world debut...

There’s an old cliche, perpetuated endlessly in popular culture, that says police like donuts. The cliche refers to donuts crafted from fried dough, and not from rubber tires on asphalt, since personal experience tells us that police aren’t fond of the latter kind. In what’s...
