Bad Boys Porsche
Just last week we were wondering what Porsche would premiere alongside the new 911 GT3 Cup. Like most of you we thought it would be the street version of the 911 GT3. It looks like we were all right! Porsche confirmed earlier today that the new Porsche 911 GT3 will premiere this week in Geneva and provided pricing and pictures. Read on for details.
Want to Know Why Porsche Went PDK Only in the GT3?

Porsche just gave us a ton of info on the new 911 GT3.  While no surprise, the fact that the new GT3 is PDK only is bound to upset many traditionalists.  The crew over at EVO TV had the chance to sit down with Porsche's head of GT cars at the Geneva Motorshow and the resulting video does a great job of answering why they switched to PDK only, plus much more.

RUF CTR 3
RUF introduced the CTR 3 in April of 2007, exactly 20 years after the legendary "Yellowbird" (the original CTR 3). With the intro of the CTR 3 RUF unveiled a major engineering change; unlike the first two CTR generations, with engines in the rear, the CTR 3 had a mid engine design. This shift in engine positioning provides even better balance and exceptional handling.
