Photo: Porsche The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N was a revelation. Obviously, with more than 600 horsepower, it was going to be quick, but it ended up being so much more than that. It’s an absolute blast to drive, and a big part of that is because it will trick you with fake shifts. It sounds … Read more
When I first laid eyes on my 996 Turbo two years ago today, it was in a bit of a sad state. This car has lived a hard life of 90,000 miles, serving as a demo car for a drift racer, and a friend’s track day machine for years after that. By the time I’d … Read more
When I first got into Porsche’s smallest offering, the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, I was immediately taken aback by how old it felt.

After the 356 Speedster ended production, there … Read more
The mystery has been solved, we finally know what that weird Porsche 911 GT1-ish car spotted at LAX last week is. It’s Tuthill’s new GT One limited-edition road car.
