Is This Porsche 911 GT3 RS Without A Rear Wing Blasphemous?

Every new generation of Porsche 911 GT3 RS is more outrageous than the last, with increasingly race car–like aerodynamic packages designed specifically to extract the fastest lap times and best performance possible. The current 992-gen GT3 RS is no different, with wild fender cut-outs, fins on the roof, a deep diffuser, large hood intakes and a truly ginormous rear wing that has F1-style DRS. That wing isn’t for everyone, though, as evidenced by this brand new GT3 RS I spotted that had its wing taken off. - Daniel Golson Read More

These Iconic Designs From Bruno Sacco Completely Transformed Mercedes-Benz

The Italian design legend who helped shape Mercedes-Benz automobiles from the 1950s through the 2000s, Bruno Sacco, died last week at age 90. He helped usher in an era of iconic and stately designs which Mercedes-Benz quite clearly no longer employs. He wanted to ensure that his designs did not age, and he largely succeeded.

The guy clearly had an eye for design, and the world is a little less bold and cohesive without him around. - Bradley Brownell Read More

The latest in the latter category is the one-off Rolls-Royce Spectre Lunaflair. - Daniel Golson Read More

These Are the Fastest Production Cars To Lap The Nürburgring

Ah, the Nürburgring. For better or worse, a 12.94-mile lap around the iconic circuit is pretty much the universal benchmark for any automaker that who builds a sports car. Every year it seems some company (usually based in Germany) has a brand new car that’ll make it around the loop incrementally faster than the car that preceded it. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More
