27 New Pictures and Updated Technical Specs on the Porsche 918 Spyder
Driving the Porsche 918 Spyder
Porsche recently hosted a number of journalists in Germany and allowed them a chance to drive the 918 Spyder on the track for the first time.  Following closely on the heels of that visit Porsche released an updated set of specification and performance figures to accompany all the new reviews.  It's a lot to digest, but we think it's worth it.  There's a good chance some, if not all of this new technology, will eventually make it into more "everyday" Porsches.

This "Outlaw" 550 Spyder is One of the Best Done Replicas We've Seen
Seduction Motorsports 550 Spyder
Every once in a while you see something that just resonates with you.  It can be a piece of artwork, a photograph, a film, even a car.  That's exactly what happened to us when we first saw Seduction Motorsports' "Outlaw" 550 Spyder that's the subject of this post. We asked FLATSIXES.com contributor Bradley Brownell to investigate further and what follows is his take (along with pictures, specs and prcing) on one of the more nicely done, and unique, Porsche replicas we've ever seen.

UPDATE: Here's the newest Technical Video That Explains Four Wheel Steering on the New GT3
Four Wheel Steering
Ever since Porsche introduced the all new 911 GT3 we've been compiling the technical videos and updating this post each time a new one is released. Well, just last week Porsche released their newest video explaining in detail the technical specification of their four wheel steering system.  If you haven't seen it yet, take a look .  This technology will most likely, at some point in the future, trickle down to most of the other 911s (and perhaps other models as well).

'67 911 Crash New Hampshire
Police are blaming excess speed on the accident that left the driver of this '67 Porsche 911 in serious condition.  However, there's a thread going over on Pelican suggesting that may not be the case.  Either way, we're pulling for the driver to come through safely.  The articles we've read say he's in serious but stable condition.

Can You Believe Porsche Has Already Produced 100,000 Panameras?
Driver's Selection Porsche Go-Kart
It was 2009 when the Panamera was first introduced.  Admittedly, we weren't fans at first.  However, it grew on us.  At first it was the Panamera's performance that swayed us.  Then, over time, we grew accustomed to the looks and even begin to think of them as attractive.  Now, Porsche just produced the 100,000th Panamera and there seems to be no telling just how far this larger Porsche model will go.
