Rimac vs porsche 918 spyder

Porsche progress personified. The Porsche 911 Turbo S is one of the quickest cars money can buy. With every generation, Porsche somehow finds a way to improve the performance figures of the 911 Turbo S with the latest 992 generation representing the latest peak of Porsche acceleration. So, what happens when you drag race the new 992 911 Turbo S against its predecessor, the 991.2 Turbo S? Well, on paper we know the answer, but what happens in the real world? The 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S debuted in 2020 replacing the previous generation 991.2 911 with a large and more capable car. Many critics complain about the ballooning size and updated styling of the new car, but you cannot argue with the insane performance figures of this hypercar slayer. The 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S is power by a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-6 engine that produces 640 horsepower (477 Kilowatts) and 590 lb-ft (800 Newton Meters) of torque. The insane flat-6 is mated to Porsche’s 8-speed PDK dual-clutch … [Read more...] about Porsche 911 Turbo S Drag Races Itself In New Vs Old

Krohn was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure after the shunt, which took place between the second Mulsanne chicane and Mulsanne corner and caused the session to be red-flagged . The 64-year-old American was released on Thursday morning, but has been advised by FIA medical staff to spend a week on the sidelines before returning to racing. It means the #99 machine Krohn was due to share with his regular Le Mans co-driver Nic Jonsson and Porsche factory driver Pat Long will not compete in this weekend's race, despite efforts having been made to rebuild the car around a new tub. “While it is a major disappointment for the Dempsey-Proton Competition team, headed up by Christian Ried, on behalf of myself, and my regular co-driver, Nic Jonsson, we want to thank all of the team members for their valiant efforts," said Krohn in a statement. "I respect the FIA decision as a safety precaution and look forward to competing again next year in this incredible and historic … [Read more...] about Krohn’s Porsche withdrawn after heavy practice crash

Building you the Bronco Ford Won't. Is the current four-wheeled Ford Bronco a little bland for you? Well, look no further than the reservations page at Maxlider Brothers Customs who will build you the 6x6 Bronco of your dreams. Ford plans to offer thousands of accessories for the Bronco, but an extra set of rear wheels seems to be absent leaving Bronco owners no choice but to take matters into their own hands. For a cool $399,000 you can purchase a 6x6 Ford Bronco that will be available in 2022. This insane build adds an additional rear axle and expands the Bronco's interior cargo space and skips the truck bed found on the Mercedes G-Wagon 6x6. A 6x6 Bronco is the most extreme custom offering we’ve seen for the new Bronco so far and we can’t help but wonder if it will become a reality.

Kamui Kobayashi was again the fastest driver at the wheel of the #7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid, setting a time of 3m15.497s on his first flying lap to come within just over a tenth of last year's pole time at La Sarthe - and beat Kazuki Nakajima in the #8 Toyota by 0.411s. SMP Racing, whose lead BR Engineering BR1 was second-fastest in Thursday night's first qualifying, was again Toyota's closest challenger, with Mikhail Aleshin setting the Russian outfit's best time of 3m16.953s - 1.456s adrift of Kobayashi's benchmark. Rebellion Racing's #1 car, which had its Wednesday times scrubbed for a fuel flow meter infringement, recovered to fourth thanks to a 3m17.317s effort by Neel Jani following a 25-minute red flag period. That was caused by the other Rebellion R-13, the #3 of Thomas Laurent, dumping fluid on the track along the latter part of the Mulsanne straight before stopping just beyond Mulsanne corner. The #3 car, which didn't return to the track, provisionally qualified … [Read more...] about Le Mans 24h: Toyota sweeps front row in second qualifying

The top class of the IMSA WeatherTech Championship is a DPi versus LMP2 battle for 2017, and Fittipaldi’s Cadillac DPi lapped the Daytona road course in 1m38.196s, 0.796s ahead of the Wayne Taylor Racing version of Ricky Taylor. That car features NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon in its lineup this weekend. Michael Conway was third quickest in the second Action Express car, with the leading LMP2 being the DragonSpeed Oreca of former GP2 star Ben Hanley, 2.16s off the fastest Cadillac’s pace. Mathias Beche was fifth fastest in the JDC-Miller Motorsports Oreca, ahead of the PR1/Mathiasen Motorsport Ligier of Tom Kimber-Smith. Former WEC champion Brendon Hartley was seventh in the fastest of the ESM Nissans. Ford’s Olivier Pla set the GTLM pace, just a few hundredths of a second ahead of Porsche newcomer Laurens Vanthoor in the all-new mid-engined 911 RSR. Vanthoor was two tenths clear of the second of four Ford GTs, driven by Joey Hand, and Tony Vilander was fourth fastest for … [Read more...] about Daytona 24 Hours: Cadillacs dominate first practice
