I have never been to a sporting event quite like Formula E’s Mexico City E-Prix. Full stop. The Mexican fans really brought their A-game in terms of enthusiasm and excitement for the FIA’s all-electric on-track package, and after having seen it first hand,…

Porsche has a million different variants of its iconic 911, so you’ll be forgiven for not immediately knowing where each of them sits in the lineup. The 911 Carrera S is basically one step above the base model, bringing more standard power and luxury, but…

There are a lot of cars that we might all dream of driving, personally it’s an old Aston Martin DBS thanks to it’s awesome, angular looks and rumbling motor. Just because I want to drive it, doesn’t mean it’d be mind-altering for everyone to drive one,…

It’s law: Cars may be fast, but bikes are faster for the money. Sure, two wheels lose cornering grip relative to four, but a $3,500 Suzuki Hayabusa will match a Bugatti Veyron in the quarter mile — straight line speed goes to the bikes. Electric power,…

Welcome to the future, or as we call it, 2025. It’s time to clear up that hangover, start those New Year’s resolutions and get ready to... work tomorrow, probably. To distract you from that impending doom, let’s talk about the cars that we (as in us at…

From the ashes a phoenix will rise. I bought my 1997 Porsche Boxster track car a decade ago and it has been largely idle since 2020. I had grand plans when I pulled it into my garage and put it up on my Quickjacks. It’s been a couple of years since I had…

We drive dozens, if not hundreds of cars every year. Some of them come around with a lot more hype than others. Folks aren’t really waiting in anticipation over things like the new gas-powered Chevy Equinox, but for some cars, there’s a ton of suspense…

Did you know that McLaren recommends replacing the wheel bolts on your 650S every two years? A lithium 12V battery for the same car costs around $2,500, the headlights apparently fall out, the carbon fiber chips and cracks, and some of the paint colors are…

Is a vintage Porsche any good at rallying? Are you silly? An old Porsche drives great at normal everyday speeds, but it really comes into its own at full send, opposite lock, sliding sideways. Porsche wasn’t convinced that the 911 would ever be a proper…

Possibly the most iconic and recognizable race car in the history of four-wheeled anything, the Gulf-liveried Porsche 917, owes a lot of its star power to the kind of terrible 1971 Steve McQueen vehicle “Le Mans.” That very car, the one from the movie, the…

It seems like we’ve been hearing about Porsche’s plan to electrify the Boxster and Cayman for eons, yet we’ve never seen anything closer to production-ready than the Mission R concept from back in 2021. A new report from Automobilwoche says why that may…

Seven minutes and 32 seconds. Way back in 2004 Horst Von Saurma tested the then-new Porsche Carrera GT on the Nürburgring Nordschleife for Germany’s Sport Auto magazine, and that was the time he set in its original form. This week the magazine was back at…

We here at the good ship Jalopnik tend to have eclectic tastes. We like our brown manual diesel wagons, our Ladas, our Urals. Yet, in all our eccentricities and fixations, we might miss out on some knowledge from the wider world: What cars do normal people…

Porsche was ready to kill off the 911 in the middle of the 1980s with an eye toward replacing it with the heavier and faster 928 grand tourer. Porsche couldn’t just let the 911 die on the vine and not replace it in the world of motorsport, so the company was…
