Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Coupe , Performance , BMW BMW M3 GTS – Click above for high-res image gallery If you want a BMW M3 GTS , you’d better be ready to part with about $170,000 of your hard-earned greenbacks. That’s nearly three times the cost of the base M3 , but the extra $100,000 will net you a 4.4-liter V8 capable of 450 horsepower, tons of racing add-ons and, perhaps most importantly, 419 fewer pounds to lug around.

Nissan has been doing a pretty good job with its GT-R over the last few years in this regard, bumping power here and adding new techno-goodies there – all in an effort to give its giant slayer the tools to continue properly slaying.

Rumormill: Porsche 918 Spyder lapped the ‘Ring in 7:20?
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Convertible , Hybrid , Performance , Porsche , Rumormill Porsche 918 Spyder concept – Click above for high-res image gallery The Porsche 918 Spyder is an impressive vehicle in almost every conceivable way. The stunning, production-approved drop-top should be motivated by something close to the concept’s 500-horsepower V8; almost weak by supercar standards but the still-powerful mill is only part of the powertrain story. The 918 concept also featured a pair of 109-hp electric motors powered by a lithium-ion battery capable of EV-only propulsion that theoretically enables the 918 to drive 16 miles on electricity alone.

2011 Nissan GT-R Club Track Edition revealed?
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Motorsports , Coupe , Performance , Japan , Nissan , Racing Ready for another Nissan GT-R iteration? In April, Nissan said it would be working with third parties to set up a driving club that would offer members track-ready Godzillas, and this is apparently the result: the Track Club Edition GT-R, a product of the minds at Nissan, NISMO, NOVA Engineering in Shizuka and Nordring tuning in Saitama, Japan.
