Obviously, I’m biased because I own a 996, but damn, it feels good to see people doing an about-face on this once very unloved and much-maligned generation of Porsche 911. Of course, the 996 is unlikely ever to be revered like its predecessor, the 993…

Porsche has announced its vehicle will feature native Google software going forward, the Verge reported. While new Porsche owners will be able to use a wide variety of apps from the Google Play Store at some point in the future, it hasn’t been good news for…

If you wanted to buy something today that would stand the test of time, what would you buy? We asked readers this week what their future high mileage hero of choice would be. The answers were about as varied and unique as our readers are. Here are some of the…

We live in a disposable society. Every day we are faced with another new trinket to purchase, use for a while, let sit in a drawer for a few years, then discard. 268 million tons of waste per year are created just here in the United States of America. That’s…

America has a problem. Well, actually it has a lot of problems, but the (small) one I’m talking about here is that it just doesn’t seem to “get” plug-in hybrids. Sure, they sell here, but how often do people actually plug them in? Even though there are…

The seller of today’s Nice Price or No Dice 911 thinks they are the car’s 4th owner, making it a bit of a hot potato, though it’s only done a mere 87K under all those owners. Let’s see if the price tag makes it a hot commodity, too. Read more...

It seems that Audi is on a bit of a killing spree when it comes to its own motorsport programs as of late. So you’ll excuse me if I don’t immediately dismiss these rumors that Audi is going to renege on its F1 commitments. Despite announcing that it would…

I’ll always be jealous of other people who grew up going to races because I did not. In fact, it wasn’t until I started writing about cars that I got to see my first race at the ripe old age of 25. I didn’t exactly ease my way in, either. One day, I had…

I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, Jalopnik is a two-Porsche 996 family—on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a…

Porsche is getting in on the boat business. The legendary German automaker has announced it has an all new boat coming and it’s not just any boat either: It’ll be electric and powered by the same powertrain as the all new Macan EV. Read more...

I’m no longer a morning drive time radio DJ, but sometimes you just need to flex those saying-a-phrase-no-human-being-would-ever-say muscles. This is one of those times. Welcome back to another Friday here at Jello Picnic HQ, where the weather is getting…

I’ve never driven anything that got me as excited for the future of performance as the Corvette E-Ray. This car delivers a level of performance once reserved for multi-million dollar machines, only approachable by those in the highest of ivory towers. Just…

Enthusiasm for motorsport is on the rise. The on-track action is as exciting as it has ever been, with international participation from major sports car and luxury manufacturers drawing tons of eyeballs. Long-term sustainability for the sport and tons of new…

Electric bikes are so hot right now with startups and established brands rushing to get a slice of the e-bike pie. That rush onto two wheels is also sweeping the car world with brands like Jeep and Porsche have all launching e-bikes. Now, it’s BMW’s turn…

Just 478 Lucid Airs were registered in the U.S. in August, and that brings the eight-month total of sales to 4,267 units. At that pace of new vehicle registrations, it’s fairly likely the luxury EV startup will fall well short of its “more than 10,000”…

The seller of today’s Nice Price or No Dice 944 S2 cabriolet calls it a collector car that would be equally capable as a daily driver. Let’s decide if its price makes either option worth considering. Read more...

I started out in a safety orange 1975 Volvo 242. This was a first-year, entry level model, with a 1.8-liter B20A engine carried over from the car’s slightly-less rectilinear predecessor, the 140. “It made under 100 hp,” said Hans Hedberg, the company’s…

If you’re in the market for a pristine vintage Porsche, I’ve got good news for you as a real beauty is about to go under the hammer at RM Sotheby’s. Nestled among a collection of 62 classic cars being sold by the auction house is a lovely Porsche Junior…
