This year, we thought we’d look back at the top ten posts, voted on by you by how many people viewed them, and return to see why they were so special. So sit back, relax, and take a trip down memory lane as we review this great year.
The Cayman GT4 is being hailed by many as the greatest and purest sports car that Porsche currently makes. It takes the great mid-engine platform of the Cayman, and gives it that special performance touch that made the 911 GT3 so special for so many years. But what about the weekend racers who desire a car as laser focused as the 911 GT3 Cup? What are they going to buy if they want the dynamics of a mid-engined car? Well Porsche is answering your cries of “me too!” with a new version of the Cayman GT4 called the Clubsport.
As we’ve come to realize, there’s no better person to slide a car effortlessly on camera while talking, and figuring out if a car is good enough than the incomparable Chris Harris. The man is a legend, and has taken us on a journey over the last few years. In one of his latest videos, Harris takes on the new Cayman GT4, which is absolutely stunning in every way possible.
Only nine Veneno roadsters will be built, and at $4.5 million dollars a pop, it’s definitely one of the rarest of the rare. That’s why seeing this Veneno, this 750 horsepower track monster, get treated with so little respect is absolutely captivating. This Veneno is heading to its newest owner and the guys in charge of transporting this one of a kind, multi-million dollar hyper track car, are treating it as if it’s a Civic on rims. Do they not know they’ll be shot if something happens to it?

We’re not sure how to describe it any other way. It’s a Kawasaki ZX-10 superbike turned into a Ducati Scrambler fighter. It’s utterly perfect and we wish it were real.
Tesla who is the question everyone seems to ask after seeing the Porsche Mission E concept. It’s a four-door fully electric supercar that is sex in automotive form. It took the world by storm with its drop dead good looks and awesome suicide doors. It’s also going to make production. Check out more of it above.
Our own Derek Shiekhi takes on Nissan’s latest and greatest Nissan GT-R supercar for a whole week. It scares him, but in a good way. But don’t take my word for it, here are his own words, “Have you ever eaten chocolate and taken a drink of soda afterward? The chocolate has such a strong, delicious flavor that you can’t taste your drink. Yeah…the GT-R has the same effect on you after you put your right foot down in it. The acceleration from its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before or have since then. It was absolutely savage, as if the Dunlops were trying to rip the face off of the planet. It was like a robotized tiger fed a diet of cocaine and amphetamines charging after a steak. In other words: Frightening. Like those drugs, rocketing forward in the GT-R was addictive.”
Actor Sung Kang is best known for portraying Han in the Fast and the Furious franchise. His onscreen death, sent shockwaves through the loyal fan community. He was by far, one of the most likable characters on the screen. He also happens to be an actual huge car nerd as shown by his very own 1973 Datsun 240Z racecar he built with GReddy and debuted at SEMA.
There’s never enough Han in the world. Obviously.
