What Is It? It’s the Porsche Panamera Turbo S Executive. The fastest Panamera on the market. How fast? Well, 0-100 kph is completed in 3.9 seconds using launch control which is 0.1 seconds faster than a track-focused Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale. That is damn impressive for a car that has a kerb weight of 4,200 lbs. And flat out? You’ll do 310 km/h. That is, again, up there with the Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Now, keep in mind that this thing is a four door sedan (or..saloon) that you can drive, pretty much every day. That is brilliant.

As a Porsche purist, I like my Carrera 911 naturally aspirated. Now I kinda lost love for it because Stuttgart decided to stick it a turbocharger. I am very, very disappointed. So, with the new 991.2 Carrera getting a turbocharger, what’s going to happen to the Turbo/Turbo S? Well, I’m not going to ruin the surprise. Anyway, just before I write this review, I get the chance to drive one, and am I still disappointed? Well, the 3.0 liter flat 6 now gets an annoying turbocharger, that’s what bugs the heck out of me. But overall, is it disappointing ?

We all love cars. And we also like our cars to match our demands and specs. When you go to a (new car) dealership, you always want to configure your future car to be just like what you want it to be. Now we can spec our dream cars with your fingers and a laptop with the presence of online car configurators. What is an online car configurator? It’s basically a manufacturer’s website page that allows you to configurate your cars and then request it to a certain dealership near you and then you get that exact car on the dealership.

Very recently, I got a car. What is it? A BMW M135i pre-LCI 5-door. Today, I wanted to give you a written review of my Bimmer. I’m trying to make this article as short as I can so, here we go.

BMW has got to be one of my favorite manufacturers. They’ve made some pretty epic cars time to time. And their slogan “Sheer Driving Pleasure” isn’t any utter bullsh!t. Their cars are awesome and I gathered up the Top 10 BMW Cars of All-Time 10. BMW Z4 M The Z4 M is probably my favorite 21st century BMW roadster (also available as a coupe). They’re pretty cheap too these days. The E85 Z4 M is powered by the S54B32 engine that makes 338 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque.

I am a massive fan of Porsches. Especially with their GT models. They’re such an incredible cars to drive around. I own a 911 GT3 and I recently test drove Jeremy van der Veldt’s Cayman GT4 . Being completely honest here, they both are surprisingly similar when it comes to how they drive. So, now I present you: Porsche 911 GT3 vs Porsche Cayman GT4. First, I want to go to the Cayman first…

We petrolheads love supercars. They’re quick, they’re nimble, they’re light, they’re fun. However, they’re not really good daily drivers. Take a look at the 458 for example. It has an RMR layout which most supercars uses which means that it needs the trunk to be placed in the front. Now that makes the trunk really small which is not exactly what you want on a daily driver. However, there are now some supercars that you can daily. I gathered up the Top 8 Supercars That You Can Daily Drive.

As a 37 year old with a wife and a son, I need a practical car. As a petrolhead that enjoys going on track days and fast driving on some lonely roads, I need a high performance car. Combine those to one, and then you’ll get a 4 door high performance sedan (or saloon). The problem is, most high performance sedans are quite expensive so I looked up the used car market, gave myself a $20,000 budget, and here’s my Top 10 favorite on the list.

I am a huge Porsche fan and having the opportunity to work for them in Stuttgart is an absolute honor to me. With their flagship model, the 911, Porsche have made a lot of versions of it from generation to generation. One of those versions are the GT3 and the GT3 RS, the lightest, most track-focused 911 that you can get straight out of Zuffenhausen. Because of that, the GT3/GT3 RS is my all time favorite 911 variant. Here are some of the reasons why I absolutely love them.

So, yesterday I took a 911 GT3 for a pre-delivery inspection test drive and I got a good picture of how my GT3 will feel like. I also have a friend of mine who owns a Carrera S . I’ve driven his 911 a couple of times and after inspecting the GT3, I wanted to compare them in a head-to-head review. Let’s start with the GT3

After test driving a Porsche Carrera GT and an S-GO Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach, I want to share you my experience, and my head to head review of the craziest cars that Porsche has ever made to date. Successor vs Predecessor. Old vs New. Which one would you take? Alright, let’s start with the new boy, the 918 Spyder.

So, I went to the Euro community and I found Speedmaster277’s post about Bentley Bentayga’s dash clock option (kind of like the Quattroporte/Ghibli dash clock or a Sport Chrono dash stopwatch but it’s a clock). How much does it cost? $160,000. $160k, yes. So, I looked around the internet here are the 8 cars that you can buy for the price of the Bentayga’s dash clock option.

After the positive feedback on the E55 vs Dodge Charger Hellcat , I decided to make another one. This time, it’s my former BMW E90 335i facing my wife’s Mercedes-Benz W204 C350.

I’ve just done an extra 92 miles in my very recently purchased Dodge Charger Hellcat. Now, as a former owner of a W211 E55, I wanted to compare it. Both cars are mid sized sedans, both cars are rear wheel drive, both cars are powered by a supercharged V8, and both cars came with automatic only. First off, I want to share you the stats, the positives, and the negatives of the Charger.
