Porsche creates some fine sports cars today, but arguably some of its best came from yesteryear. Case in point: the Porsche 993 911 GT2. For those looking for the ultimate expression of performance from the air-cooled era, the 911 GT2 is a one-stop shop, and one is heading to the Mecum Auction...

Could you imagine the world without the Volkswagen Golf GTI? While it's one of many options for those seeking practicality with a splash of fun, it truly was the nameplate that birthed an entire segment, which many of us like to call the "hot hatch." Volkswagen wasn't too hip on building the...

Singer Vehicle Design and Williams Advanced Engineering are clearly trying to coax us into making poor financial decisions because the duo have announced plans for one hell of an engine collaboration. It's an air-cooled, 4.0-liter Porsche flat-6 engine that makes—wait for it—500...

Every time a new piece of 2019 Toyota Supra information hits the web, it causes a flurry. Why? Because the car was held in such high regard and its return has been eagerly awaited by so many. While we have high hopes for the 2019 Supra, it looks like it will forego one thing we love: a manual...

A Florida-based performance shop is taking #GiveAShift to a whole new level with this piece of news. For $45,000, BGB Motorsports will swap a 6-speed manual transmission into the latest-generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Chevrolet has sponsored Major League Baseball for 12 years, and it's common practice for the brand to bestow some of its latest machines on some of the MLB's most valuable players. This year at the 2017 All-Star Game, Seattle Mariners' second baseman, Robinson Canó, earned the coveted MVP...
