    Video: 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Hits The Track

    The Porsche 911 GT2 is a car that needs no introduction. Often nicknamed the widow maker due to its sheer rawness and tendency to go sideways at will, the 911 GT2--as hard as it is to believe--is available in an even more extreme form, as the 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

    Video: Russian Street Racers Pit Veyron Against GT-R

    This no-holds-barred contest of raw material excess and skillful value-conscious performance yields no surprising results--the Veyron is far and away faster than the modified GT-R. But it's downright amazing on two levels: production value and sheer stupidity. Exceeding 160 mph on multiple...

The Texas-based tuner currently offers several levels of tune for the GT-R, ranging from about 600 all the way up to 800 horsepower. While that latter figure may prove a bit too extreme for most drivers, Hennessey is now offering a new kit dubbed the GTR650, which offers a much more sane 662 horsepower and torque to 638 pound-feet. Remember, the stock 2012...
