Spy Photo: Porsche Taycan GT?

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="77886"] Is Porsche planning an hotter Taycan GT model ? In the early misty morning, the Nürburgring track is closed due to the fog when suddenly a strange Porsche Taycan comes by. We are outside the Porsche test facility close to the Ring when the mysterious Taycan appears. As we can see its pretty wild looking with the modified front bumper with side sills and the big wing at the back. [gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="77882"] S...

Spy Photo: Porsche Macan EV on the Nürburgring

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="75205"] Macan EV goes ”Ring running”! We have seen so many photos of the electric Porsche Macan out testing and it's still wearing the same camouflage so its actually getting a little boring. But I guess when the prototypes arrive for some Nürburgring testing for the first time, we need to send those photos out as well. So enjoy the photos showing 3 different prototypes testing in the Ring.

Find of the Day: 2017 Audi exclusive Q7

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="74177"] words: Bill, photos: Land Rover Clear Lake Normally, I would not post a Q7 as a Find of the Day unless it was an ABT Q7 or something weird like the Q7 limo we featured a couple of months ago but this one...wait until you see the interior combined with the green exterior. This is an Audi exclusive build and somebody spent a lot of money building this Q7. Here's the ad: [gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="74171"] ONE OF A...

Video of the Day: German Muscle Versus American Muscle

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="73470"] words: Bill, photo: carwow What happens when you pit a mid engine C8 Corvette Stingray V8 against a mid engine Audi R8 V10 and a rear engine Porsche 911 twin turbo flat 6? A fun drag race. The R8 is a Rear Wheel Series one so obviously it's rear wheel drive as are the Corvette and 911. So will American brawn take out the Germans? You may or may not be surprised. Either way, it'll be fun. Watch the video below. [embed]https://yout...

Spy Photo: Porsche Macan EV Spotted Again

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="72230"] We have some new photos to show you of the electric Porsche Macan out testing and decided 'Why not make it a big gallery?' As we can see on the photos showing the exterior of the Macan, we are dealing with two different front bumper designs, most likely indicating the regular model and the turbo model. As per usual Porsche model lineups, there will probably be other models in between these models. The prototypes where we think they could ...

Porsche Confirms LMDh Engine Based on RS 6 Motor, Begins Testing

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="68246"] Whereas once Audi Sport and Porsche Motorsport shared virtually nothing between their R18 and 919 LMP1 programs, the modern era of LMDh prototype development ahead of the 2003 racing season will see the two Volkswagen Group marques (and possibly a third likely Bentley or Lamborghini) share chassis construction and engine. Since Porsche Motorsport has begun to reveal details of their version of the project, much of what is shared confirms ...

Spy Photo: Porsche Macan EV Winter Test

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="66921"] We ran into a group of Porsche testers at an charging station in the cold winter and it was clear that the Macan EV prototype had some problems. Nothing special with that since that’s why the prototypes are being tested; to avoid these problems when the cars are ready for regular clients. After realizing it would take a while for the Macan EV to move, we went closer to shoot some photos. That was really not appreciated by the test drive...

Video of the Day: Audi RS 3 vs AMG A45 vs BMW M2 vs Porsche Cayman GTS vs Volkswagen Golf R

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="66579"] words: Bill, photo: carwow This is a fairly even matchup in today's drag race from carwow (with the exception of one). Four (AMG, VW), five (Audi), and six cylinders (BMW, Porsche) are represented as well as AWD (Audi, AMG, VW) and RWD (BMW, Porsche). Four of them are within 20hp of each other (RS 3 400hp, A45 420hp, M2 410, GTS 400) with the lonely Volkswagen Golf R down 100hp from the AMG. How does the RS 3 stack up against its co...

Video of the Day: A Family Affair – Lamborghini Urus vs Porsche Cayman GT4 vs Audi TT RS vs Volkswagen Golf R

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="63927"] words: Bill, video: carwow The lyrics to Sly and The Family's Family Affair was going through my wind when I saw the lineup to this peculiar drag race: Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayman GT4, Audi TT RS, and Volkswagen Golf R. It is a family affair with all these brands under the Volkswagen tent and Mat brings them all together. An unusual lineup when you think of the V8 SUV, a 6 cylinder RWD sports car, a 5 cylinder AWD, and a 4 cylinder...

Porsche-Developed Predecessor to the RS 6, The C4 Audi RS4 Leaked!

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="62319"] Like many fans of vintage 5-cylinder Audis, we were ecstatic to see Porsche AG and Audi Tradition produce a video for the Porsche YouTube channel telling a bit of the story of the Audi RS2. Anything RS2-related is always interesting, but when the producers of the short injected a few design drawings into the piece they triggered our jaws hitting the floor. You see, the designs in question weren't exactly of the RS2. That's one hell of an ...

Audi Sport, Porsche Motorsport, LMDh Prototype Racing and Le Mans’ 100th Birthday Party

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="56581"] Audi Sport shared an incredible gift with brand enthusiasts this holiday season with the announcement there’d be a return to Le Mans via the new LMDh prototype racing category. Then, Porsche confirmed their own LMDh shortly thereafter. Both plan a return to the segment by the 2023 racing season when the LMDh formula is set to begin… and also the 100th anniversary of the very first running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans for those doing the...

Porsche Macan EV Prototype Spied

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="54389"] The next generation Porsche Macan will go all electric and we spied the very first prototypes.

The new Macan will ride on a new platform dubbed PPE, Premium Platform Electric, that is co-developed with Audi. While the platform...

Find of the Day: 1997 RUF CTR 2 Sport…Wait What?

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48191"] words: Bill, photos: RM Sotheby's OK...I can already hear the question being asked: Why the heck is Audi Club North America featuring a RUF as a Find of the Day? It's not a bad question...I asked the same when it was sent to me. We've featured vehicles that were powered by Audi engines but clearly this isn't one. So why? A couple of reasons why: It's a cool car (but that's not enough) It ran Pike's Peak (also cool but...) It sports stick...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="46029"] Editor’s not: this originally was posted to our sister site, e-tron connect Though most of us sit grounded due to pandemic quarantine, this hasn’t stopped our spy photographer sources. Some of the recent images they’ve sent over are those of the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. Shown just a few years ago in concept form, the Cross Turismo offers the off-road wagon treatment to the Taycan sedan. And, because the Taycan shares the same J...
