  • Dr. Wolfgang Porsche with Porsche 918 Spyder  -  Frankfurt Auto Show preview event

    On the eve of the Frankfurt Auto Show, Dr. Wolfgang Porsche, the grandson of company founder Ferdinand Porsche sat briefly to pose in what’s perhaps one of the proudest achievements for the company yet—and certainly the most advanced Porsche street cars ever produced: the Porsche 918 Spyder. Porsche didn't say anything more about the car as he sat in the driver's seat; although his grins acted as a sort of endorsement for this technology flagship, which Volkswagen AG Chairman Dr. Martin Winterkorn has just described as “a beacon blazing the trail for future Porsches.”...

    Porsche 959 Offered Up On eBay For (Nearly) A Cool Million

    If you're an automotive enthusiast over the age of 35, you had a poster of this car on your wall. Well, either this car or possibly the Ferrari F40 and Lamborghini Countach.

  • Ferrari F40 and F50 on a track

    Two of the most sought-after supercars, the Ferrari F40 and its F50 successor, are put to the test on an empty Anglesey Circuit. The test was conducted by British journo Chris Harris for the latest episode of Drive, and it isn’t really about determining which is the better car but rather to drive them like they were meant to be--hard and fast. Both have their own bragging rights. The F40 is the quicker of the two and it’s the last officially signed off by Enzo Ferrari. The F50, meanwhile, has an engine sharing much in common with a Formula One V-12 as well as a full carbon fiber...

  • 2013 Gumpert Apollo S

    If you're a fan of visually unappealing yet wildly potent automobiles, the Gumpert Apollo is probably your desktop background right now. Founded in 2004 by ex-Audi Sport director Roland Gumpert, this manufacturer is best known for production of the Apollo. A rather unique machine, the Apollo is offered up in a variety of horsepower flavors that range from around 650 horsepower for the "entry-level" model up to near 800 horsepower for the Apollo Enraged. Despite the power and performance Gumpert has had a hard time keeping the company afloat, and now it seems as if the final nail has been...
