V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

The Most Powerful 6-Cylinder Production Engine Ever Made

Porsche production manager Albrecht Reimold tells Automobilewoche that the 718 lineup, comprised of the Boxster and Cayman, will end production in 2025. Porsche has already been forced to retire the 718 twins in Europe due to more stringent cybersecurity regulations (and the Macan along with it). More stringent emissions requirements across the pond would have done the pair in at some point as it is. The 718’s electric replacement is underway, and while Reimold didn’t share further details on the upcoming models, it’s hard to imagine Porsche will leave much of a gap between the end of 718 production and the next model’s introduction.

Porsche's engineers insist the new 911 doesn’t feel like a hybrid. But how could it not? The new 911 Carrera GTS has an electric motor splined to the crankshaft of its flat-six, plus a massive electric turbocharger. It took me a little bit of time behind the wheel to figure out what they meant—Porsche’s new hybrid 911 does feel like a hybrid, just not like any hybrid before it.

Sotheby’s Sealed is set to auction off the stunning Porsche 911 Targa “Sotto Commission,” reimagined by Singer Vehicle Design.

The super sedan isn't dead yet, far from it, in fact. It seems there are still drivers who prefer their sports cars with four doors. Another thing that just won't end is the horsepower war that continues to wage on, year after year. With EV manufacturers leaning towards sedan platforms, there has been a resurgence in sports sedans popularity. The EV market has cooled off more than most expected, with many reverting to hybrid tech. Because of that, we still luckily have a decent variety of sporty gas-powered sedans at our fingertips.

I wrote two previous articles about the worst performing cars ever and the ugliest cars ever. Now it is time to cover some of the worst selling cars ever. Sometimes cars don't sell because of poor performance, sometimes because they are ugly, and sometimes, often times actually, because of both.

We were misinformed: previous sightings of what was thought to be the upcoming Audi RS7 Avant (and replacing the existing combustion-powered RS6 Avant as even-numbered Audi cars go electric) have turned out to be of the future Audi A7 allroad. In hindsight, it's pretty obvious that the bulbous arches are not temporary placeholders before more aggressive fenders are tried on, and that point is only highlighted further by sightings of the actual Audi RS7, caught testing near the Nürburgring. With these new images, we can all rest easy knowing that the design department of the RS division has not gone soft, modernizing trademark styling elements for the new era. This is probably not the time or place to discuss an opinion of the G90 BMW M5, but this writer believes Munich could have done more to improve its new super sedan's sex appeal. Still, the M5 has its USPs, and we look forward to seeing its Touring variant compete with Ingolstadt's new beast on US soil.
