HOW MUCH DOES LS-SWAPPING A 911 TRULY COST?

For people tired of the M96 or who want their 996 to outrun a few more cars in a straight line, the LS swap is appealing. While the swap is considered to be a cost-effective alternative for the hot rodder or the blasphemer, the custom work required to have an American V8 running smoothly in the back on a 911 can cause the conversion costs to skyrocket.

MISSION E CROSS TURISMO CONCEPT FIRST DRIVE

Porsche's EV future has been teased by a pair of Mission E concepts, one a swoopy sport sedan that looks like the future, and the other a tall wagon that looks quite similar to a current production Panamera Sport Turismo on stilts.

REAR WHEEL STEER VS. THRUST VECTORING: TURBO S MEETS F-22 RAPTOR

Saabs may have been born from jets, but even the mightiest SPG has no place on a runway alongside the F-22 Raptor. The current 911 Turbo S has a spec sheet that reads more like the ultimate air superiority fighter than a mere road car.
