The new 991 has been out for a little while now, so I guess it’s time Porsche started rolling out the self-congratulatory special editions. Not that I’m complaining; the Speedster was my favorite permutation of the 997. Also, it’s probably the ugliest thanks to that lumpy rear deck. It looks like the car is wearing […] More »

eFans of Apple, your chariot has arrived. As far as liveries go, this is the coolest one I’ve seen at SEMA so far. The little, stylish details are what make this one special.

Why do we appreciate the Porsche 911’s evolution? When we see those ads and posters where every 911 generation is parked in succession, why do we gaze hypnotically? Is it because we love the progress the 911’s evolution represents? In 1998 when the 996 came out, the brochures read, “Everything we know … so far.” […] More »
