With nimble handling, quick acceleration, and sharp new looks, even the base 991 Porsche 911 is a sports car aficionado's joy. We fully expect the 2014 911 Turbo S to border on mind-blowing. The coupe version of the 2014 911 Turbo S was recently revealed alongside its standard (non-S) Turbo...

In 2009, Ford unleashed on the market a version of its humble Focus hatchback powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter straight-five good for 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque.

Looking almost as good as the 911 and coming close to being its equal at the track, the mid-engine Cayman makes a strong case for driving enthusiasts after a modern-day Porsche. The second generation of the car, which is new for the 2014 model year, improves the breed even further thanks to a...
