At this stage, it's safe to say that the team at Porsche knows the Nürburgring like the back of their hands, especially the GT division. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that the German marque has once again demonstrated its engineering prowess by setting a new lap record at the notorious Nürburgring Nordschleife but this time it's not just a thoroughbred GT product based on a best-selling sports car, it's a luxury barge weighing well over 2 tonnes, the 2025 Panamera. This achievement is awe-inspiring given the Panamera's classification as a luxury executive sedan, a segment not typically associated with track-focused performance.

Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.

Ever wondered how Porsche got to making some of the best AWD sportscars and supercars in the business? What made the brand the master of the craft? Most would think it started with cars like the 993 Turbo, maybe one-off competition specials such as the 911 SC, but the credit to Porsche's AWD supremacy actually goes to the iconic Porsche 959.

For many, the Mazda Miata MX-5 "is the answer" when it comes to a fun, affordable sports car. And why not? After all, the Miata has built itself quite the reputation over the course of the last four generations, offering consumers sharp, low-weight handling, plus legendary driver engagement. While not the quickest thing in a straight line, there should be little doubt that the Miata is a fantastic little roadster, especially in the twisty bits, and it's every bit deserving of its many titles and accolades. That said, when it comes to raw sales figures, the Miata is simply not the answer. In fact, there's one American sports car in particular that has outsold the plucky little Mazda by a factor of six this year.
