Exciting times indeed. So, when can you get one? That's unclear, but it doesn't matter anyway—the 2018 911 GT2 RS is already sold out. German publication Autobild reports that only 1,000 units will be built and each has been spoken for. Prices will reportedly start at 260,000 euros in Germany, or about...

  • 2017 Honda Civic Type R with VIN ending in 001

    Honda recently decided to give fans the chance to own the first very 2017 Civic Type R in the country. That's right, the car with a VIN ending in 001. It went up on an online auction and at the close of bidding on Thursday the final tally came in at $200,000. Not bad considering the starting price on a Civic Type R is just $34,775. Of course, there was always going to be a steep premium considering we're talking about the first example in the country. Additionally, all proceeds from the sale are being donated to charity, in this case the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, which Honda has been...
