Fabspeed recently took delivery of their new 992 Porsche GT3 and wasted no time getting to work. They cut open the stock exhaust and also put it on their Dynojet to get us a baseline of the fantastic 9000 rpm 4.0 liter flat-6. ...Published on 11-18-2021 01:11 PM
The Bronco is not designed to be fast in a straight line which is obvious. However, the Ecoboost platform is quite tuneable from the four-cylinder 2.3 to the larger 2.7 liter V6. There will be those who are interested in the performance figures despite the Bronco being most at home off the payment. ...Published on 11-18-2021 12:43 PM
Just another example of ethanol versus pump gas tuning here on the S55 but with an example running upgraded hybrid turbochargers. This 2017 BMW F80 M3 Competition features upgraded S55 turbochargers with the Stage 2 units from Pure Turbos. ...Published on 11-17-2021 03:24 PM
Remember when BMW said they would never do an M SUV? Many do not. Today, not only is M doing SUV's but the top of the M range is likely to be an SUV. BMW teased the XM hybrid which certainly is not shying away from huge kidney grilles. ...Published on 11-17-2021 03:03 PM
The argument between ICE (internal combustion engine) and EV (electric vehicle) performance enthusiasts will rage for some time. Some people think with the Tesla Model S Plaid that EV's are winning the performance battle. ...Published on 11-17-2021 02:15 PM
Kudos to Porsche. They not only allowed the Cayman to step on the 911's toes it is even stepping on the GT3's toes. Yes, the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is lighter than a 992 GT3 while offering the same motor. ...Published on 11-16-2021 07:55 PM
Audi plans to go electric only in roughly five years. Before then though we will start getting Audi RS performance EV's an Audi intends to go fully electric with the next generation Audi RS6 wagon or estate model as early as 2023. ...Published on 11-16-2021 07:42 PM
The Jaguar F-Type R is fairly capable although the supercharged 5.0 liter AJ133 V8 is a bit dated at this point. That does not mean there is not power to get out of it with some tuning as this 2016 F-Type R with Velocity AP bolt on modifications shows. ...Published on 11-15-2021 12:32 PM
A very interesting comparison here with three of the best performance sedans on the market. The outlier is naturally the Tesla Model S Plaid which is 100% electric and we all know just how fast the thing is in a straight line. ...Published on 11-15-2021 11:52 AM
You likely saw the Edmunds test figures posted for the 835 horsepower and 908 lb-ft of torque Rivian R1T. MotorTrend's figures are even more impressive which is incredible when you factor in the 7143 pound curb weight. ...Published on 11-15-2021 11:31 AM
This stock Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang you likely watched in action several times already. It serves as a solid performance barometer and here it is taking on another stock vehicle which is the very capable BMW F90 M5 Competition. ...Published on 11-15-2021 11:12 AM
Congrats are in order to Ghassan Automotive for doing what nobody else was able to up to this point with the N54 platform. Ghassan Automotive is pretty much playing the game by themselves at this point setting records on the platform nobody else is approaching. ...Published on 11-15-2021 10:51 AM
This is undeniably cool and something that sets Aston Martin apart. We love that Aston Martin still produces a V12 and not only that they deliver twelve cylinders but that those cylinders are also boosted with twin turbochargers. ...Published on 11-13-2021 05:24 PM
We can debate PDK or manual all day long but there is no denying the PDK is the choice for the quickest times. That said, the manual 992 Carrera S is no slouch although far more dependent on the skill of the driver compared to the dual clutch version. ...Published on 11-13-2021 02:21 PM
You simply can not beat American muscle. Period. End of story. We tend to focus on modern small displacement turbo powerplants these days (simply the reality of the modern performance market) but when it comes to horsepower there is no replacement for displacement. ...
