  • Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

    Echoing sentiments of fans around the world, Porsche's CEO Matthias Mueller has called Formula 1 "not interesting," and "simply too expensive."

It also resonates more with fans in its key markets, according to Mueller. Rumors have placed Volkswagen, Audi, or Porsche at the helm of an F1 program...
