First Impressions of the 997 Early Model GT3 This time, I had the opportunity to test drive the Porsche 911 997 early model GT3. This car stands out notably within the GT3 series.

Porsche Taycan Turbo S Test Drive｜The Closest Taycan to a 911!

Turbo S: The Top of the Taycan Lineup This time, I test drove the Porsche Taycan’s top-tier model, the Turbo S.

First, the specs: the body size is the same as other Taycans. However, the power is in a league of its own. It produces 625 horsepower...
