Words of Wisdom from Dr. Ferdinand Porsche

When certain people talk, you should really listen up. The President of the United States (regardless of his or her party). Your mother. Rocky’s coach. In the automotive world, the voice to note is Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, the brains behind Germany’s finest auto manufacturer: Porsche. In this classic commercial, the Dr. waxes philosophic about man’s relation to time, human desires, and immortality. Oh, and there’s also some wicked clips of classic Porsches doing donuts.

Worlds Fastest Car’s Duke it Out in a Drag Race

Well, maybe they aren’t the worlds fastest cars, but they sure are quick!  Chevy ZR1 vs. Ferrari 599 GTB vs. Porsche 911 GT2 vs. Godzilla.  I’m not sure how long of a runway these guys had, but I think it was close to the mile mark. Check it out as these drivers smash the pedal to the floor and take these four super cars up to top speed. 

Porsche 911 GT2: Top Speed Run

There are some incredibly fast cars in this world. We’ve already seen two this week. The 599 was quite a lot quicker than the GT-R, which is reasonable considering the several hundred thousand dollar price difference. So how does the 599 stand up the the GT2, a car that costs more than twice the GT-R and boasts 530 horsepower?

Ferrari Doesn’t Want a Piece of the Sedan Market

If you’re interested in a 4-door sports car made by one of the worlds premiere super car builders, you’ve got a couple of options.  From Porsche comes the Panamera, Aston Martin has their Rapide, and now Lamborghini has its Estoque.  But not Ferrari.  Ferrari isn’t interested because Ferrari hasn’t forgotten its roots.  Ferrari hasn’t forgotten that it is a racing team first and that the only reason it has a small production line on the side is to help fund its R&D.  A brave statement when the car industry is in it’s biggest slump in decades, but I applaud them for maintaining their focus and not diluting their brand.  Bravo Ferrari.
