The unveiling of the Porsche 918 RSR hybrid/KERS racer took place just a few hours ago in Detroit, and now we have the official video of the unveiling. Framing the car in history as a spiritual descendant (though not a successor) of the fantastic, fearsome, and brutally fast 917, the video also...

The hybrid race concept Porsche 918 RSR was just unveiled in Cobo Hall and we have the first live photos of the car for you, fresh from the Porsche stand.

The next generation promises to build that legacy. We've...

We already knew the 2012 Porsche Boxster and Cayman would be built in-house at the Volkswagen Osnabrueck plant, bucking the trend of outsourcing construction to contract firms like Valmet or Magna. What we didn't know is that the next-gen Cayman and Boxster would be built alongside Volkswagens...
