How Lotus Almost Used a Grammatical Loophole to Change Formula 1 Forever (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reading between the lines is a time-honored motorsport tradition, to the point that a savvy or original interpretation of the rulebook is often celebrated. But no car ever leveraged regulatory verbiage like the Lotus 88, one of the most innovative vehicles ever to attempt to race in Formula 1. Its design hinged on the fact that the word “chassis” is the same in both singular and plural forms. And, as Lotus noted when it revealed the car ahead of the 1981 season, “there is no rule that says you c
This Is What the Porsche 918 Spyder and the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X Have in Common (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Carrera GT was Porsche’s first production road car with carbon-fiber construction. Porsche kept the carbon fiber and many of the styling cues for the follow-up 918 Spyder but went high-tech with the powertrain instead of merely making it more potent. Granted, the 918 is quicker, lopping more than a second off the Carrera GT’s 0–60-mph and quarter-mile times. All the extra oomph comes from the electric motors, as the 918’s 4.6-liter V-8 is less powerful than the 5.7-liter V-10 in the Carrera
Toyota’s GR GT Spills More of Its Secrets at Laguna Seca (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been just over seven months since Toyota revealed the GR GT, its upcoming sports car designed with an almost singular purpose of winning races in its GR GT3 form. Few details have trickled out since our initial look during the official unveiling, however, so a press briefing at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca during the Rolex Monterey Historics at Monterey Car Week gave us a chance to dive a little deeper on the powertrain and structure. First, a look at the static model of the complete car
Driven: How the Corvette ZR1X Stands on the Shoulders of Groundbreaking Porsche 918 Spyder (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has been 16 years since Porsche revealed the 918 Spyder. A decade and a half is a lifetime in automotive terms—and it’s a year beyond that. But look at the Porsche’s gas-electric hybrid powertrain, which pumps out 887 hp by combining a V-8 and two electric motors. It’s today’s hypercar formula. In the years since the 918’s debut, electrification has become the standard method for adding power everywhere from the exotic-car stratosphere all the way down to, well, the Toyota RAV4 (the plug-in c
The Porsche 911 S/C Proves a GT3 Convertible Makes Perfect Sense (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twelve seconds. That’s how long it takes to raise and retract the roof on the Porsche 911 GT3 S/C. It’s not a significant performance metric in this car, but it’s the only one that’s not improved over the standard Carrera cabriolet. Couldn’t Porsche’s Motorsport division have tweaked the voltage or turned up the electric motors to shave a half-second off the time? I asked several engineers, who all responded with looks of puzzled indifference. For what it’s worth, the roof of the 911 Turbo S cab
