Porsche 911 R: The Underground Parts-Bin Throwback

911 fans tend to split themselves into two camps regarding Porsche’s iconic sports car. Some prefer the modern water-cooled 911’s performance and luxury touches. Others, though, crave the simpler vintage air-cooled experience—which explains these cars’ high prices. It also explains the 2016 Porsche 911 R. On the surface, it seems like a parts-bin special, something …

The 2003-2005 GT3 RS Is the Best 996 Porsche 911 We Never Got

The 996 generation of the Porsche 911 doesn’t get a lot of love from the fanbase in general. That’s mostly due to the infamous IMS bearing issue, which is somewhat overblown. However, not only is it fixable, but it also doesn’t affect every 996-gen 911. The 996 Turbo, for example, doesn’t have that flaw. And …

The Roofless Lamborghini SC20 Is Road-Legal…ish

While convertibles aren’t inherently less safe than conventional cars, cutting the roof off a hypercar usually comes with some drawbacks. Recently, though, some manufacturers have released limited-production cars that aren’t just convertibles but lack a roof entirely. There’s the Aston Martin V12 Speedster, for example, as well as the Ferrari Mona and McLaren Elva. And …

The 2021 Toyota Corolla Apex Used Every Rookie “Upgrade” Gimmick

Toyota has forgotten more about making sporty cars out of regular sedans than many auto marques know about cars in general. There is a long history of entire arenas of motorsport being born from sports sedans and coupes Toyota has made. Not only does Toyota make great sports cars, but they make one of the …

Honda is at it again, conquering the world’s racetracks and claiming bragging rights with the Honda Civic Type R. But this time, they did with the Limited Edition version of the pocket rocket and at their own race track, the Suzuka Circuit. But was its lap time quick enough to beat the Ferrari F40 around …

2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition: Gone in 240 Seconds

The difference between the “rare” and the “ultra-rare” is as different as the Honda Civic Si and Civic Type R; they’re essentially the same thing, but one is just a little more special. And if the Civic Type R is rare, then the Civic Type R Limited Edition is the epitome of ultra-rare as only …

You Absolutely Shouldn’t Pay $125k for a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo

There really isn’t a bad year for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. Although like many high-performance cars, it requires careful maintenance, the Evo is arguably more reliable than its Subaru rival. However, owing to its Fast and Furious credentials, many ended up tuned to destruction or crashed. As a result, all Mitsubishi Lancer Evo models hold …

Should You Throw Shade at These Limited-Edition Toyotas?

Special editions can be hit-or-miss. Sometimes, you get something worth the upcharge, like the Jeep Gladiator Maximus or GMC Syclone Marlboro. More often, though, limited-editions are merely cosmetic. You can recreate the F-150 and Silverado Harley-Davidson editions, for example, at a cheaper rate than the manufacturers charge. So far, the Trail and 1794 Editions that …

7 Limited-Edition Trucks You Probably Forgot About

Limited-edition trucks aren’t always valuable. Whatever the specific reason, consumers and the market just didn’t bite. But a truck’s popularity isn’t only determined by the used market. Sometimes, special editions just aren’t special enough to sell. Or whatever they celebrated faded from popular culture. And just like the trends that inspired them, the trucks went …
