Porsche's 'special request' program has birthed many iconic, highly exclusive versions of its iconic sports cars, including this 911 'Speedster' variant.

The Secret To This 'Missing Link' Porsche 911 Speedster Was Time And A Lot Of Money

The best way to understand the Porsche 911? Be born into wealth around 1940, with excellent genes and a rakish spirit. Then, starting at a winsome 23 years old, one could have sampled the 911 in every generation and flavor from the icon's 1963 unveiling to the 2023 gaggle of special editions celebrating the auld lang syne.

Porsche’s 992.2 GT3 RS has been spotted in facelifted form for the first time. The revised track weapon will stick with naturally aspirated flat-six power, but it will get a bump from the 2024 car’s 518 hp rating. Production cars will get bumper and aero upgrades not seen...

Porsche (POAHY) has been practically synonymous with turbochargers since the early 1970s. The 911 Turbo has been an icon of speed and performance for fifty years. Porsche is honoring that history with a new special edition 911 Turbo 50 Years. This is more or less an appearance package for the existing 992-generation 911 Turbo S, which includes interior elements clad in “MacKenzie” tartan plaid, special wheels, a limited edition number plaque, and some special turbo badging with a turbocharger icon. You will be totally surprised to learn this special edition Porsche comes with a matching wristwatch.

Porsche is celebrating 50 years of turbocharging with a 911 special edition

“Come and drive some cars.” An invitation from the folks at the Porsche Museum is always worth the time. Last year they tossed me the keys to, among other things, a lovely little 356C Super 90, a first generation 928, and the car that previewed the modern hypercar, the all-wheel drive 959. This year’s drive was to celebrate 50 years of turbocharged Porsches. I’d tested every car on the list except one, but I instantly cleared my calendar. There was no way I was going to miss an opportunity to drive an original 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo.

General Motors may have retired the Pontiac name more than a decade ago, but it continues to have tremendous brand recall among car enthusiasts worldwide. From the '50s and well into the '90s, Pontiac was behind some of the most iconic cars of the era. Some of the more popular cars from Pontiac's golden era include the Pontiac Firebird, GTO, and the Pontiac 2+2. These vehicles are usually the first ones that come to the minds of the average auto enthusiast when they think of legendary Pontiacs.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

Rejoice, all die-hard automotive enthusiasts! Defying the ever-tightening emission standards and the inevitability of electrification, a brand-new V12 hypercar has arrived in the automotive world, which has been designed from the ground up for purists.

The company is the brainchild of automotive designer Sasha Selipanov, known for his work on the Bugatti Chiron, the Koenigsegg CC850, and the Lamborghini Huracán.

The resurgent Meyers company, makers of the original Manx dune buggy, is doing some awesome things lately. The company just showed off the super cool Old Red kit to make the company’s VW-based modern buggy look like the super-cool original (minus the jerry-rigged auxiliary gas tanks made from leftover oxygen tanks). There’s an electric buggy, too. All good, and awesome, but fairly normal. But what if Meyers cranked the knob all the way up to “Australian?” You know, the wackiest end of the petrolhead scale? The result would be this: a limited-production Meyers Manx powered by an (are you sitting down?) LS-derived three-cylinder radial engine.
