This just does not feel very McLaren. In a recent Car and Driver interview McLaren's CEO Mike Flewitt made some startling revelations including McLaren working on an wheel drive vehicle and that in 3-4 years we can expect all McLarens to be hybrid. ...Published on 12-04-2019 07:03 PM
While we wait for the Porsche 992 GT3 and Turbo models to debut we are getting more 992 Carrera S test numbers. Sport Auto did a lap test of the new 911 Carrera S and it is impressive topping some strong cars but falling short of the 991 generation GT3's. ...Published on 12-04-2019 05:26 PM
APR is absolutely crushing it on the Porsche front. They are quickly becoming the premier option on modern Porsche platforms and you can expect a spate of releases in quick succession. We are kicking things off with their 982 718 9A2B4 tune. ...Published on 12-04-2019 04:30 PM
You might be saying, didn't TTE (The Turbo Engineers) release a B58 hybrid upgrade already? Yes, that was the TTE510 hybrid for the B58 from a few months back. This is a new TTE580 with more power capability. ...Published on 12-03-2019 06:40 PM
Here is yet another billet engine block option for the Audi/Lamborghini 5.2 liter V10 and it is from Heffner Performance in association with Fountain Race Engines. For those wondering, Fountain Race Engines is well known in the offshore powerboat racing scene. ...Published on 12-02-2019 08:47 PM
This is the new Jaguar F-Type that was spotted testing not too long ago. The thinking was there would be a new platform under the skin but that is not the case. The exterior and interior get mild updates but everything else remains the same. ...Published on 12-01-2019 04:22 PM
Congratulations to PorscheBoost Porsche Performance Forums member @8SecDD for raising the bar yet again. This was his record to lose and he improved upon his previous 8.60 @ 173.87 pass from a month ago in his ESMotor ES1200 tuned 991.1 Turbo S. ...Published on 11-30-2019 05:13 PM
The M178 is a powerhouse and responds very well to tuning. It also helps that Mercedes-AMG puts the powerplant in a relatively light chassis (by AMG standards) which is the C190 AMG GT. There is also the additional benefit of the transaxle dual clutch transmission design ensuring great weight distribution and performance. ...Published on 11-30-2019 04:56 PM
Modern all wheel drive Porsche 911 models with PDK are very tough to beat from a stop. The 991.2 Turbo S in particular is going to pose a challenge in factory form let alone when modified. The torque down low and quick shifting PDK with launch control mixed in is usually a recipe for victory. ...Published on 11-27-2019 06:16 PM
BimmerBoost reported earlier this month that Dinan is back and tuning BMW's through flashing the ECU and not with that Dinantronics box that never really took off. Dinan again is an option to consider especially with the Plus Performance software which carries up to a four year, 50,000 mile warranty. ...Published on 11-27-2019 02:54 PM
It is starting to feel like everyone has a turbo kit for the Lambo/Audi 5.2 V10 engine platform. This is not all that surprising considering what a potent platform it is. Just look at this second generation Audi R8 V10 1/4 mile result. ...Published on 11-27-2019 02:34 PM
A huge part of getting a healthy ET (elapsed time) in drag racing is having the proper rubber. Modern brakes on performance cars are quite big so going to a smaller wheel to have tires with plenty of sidewall often necessitates the need for a drag racing brake conversion. ...Published on 11-27-2019 02:12 PM
PorscheBoost sat on this story for quite some time but it seems Gintani is finally ready to reveal a project they were keeping under wraps until completion. How does a turbocharged Porsche 911 GT3 grab you and in particular a twin turbo 991.2 GT3 RS? ...Published on 11-26-2019 06:20 PM
This is something that will garner interest from Audi 8V RS3 and 8S TT-RS 2.5 TFSI enthusiasts. Unitronic released a new carbon fiber intake for the 2.5 TFSI EA855 EVO motor that offer a major increase in airflow over stock. ...Published on 11-26-2019 05:51 PM
The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 is simply a hell of a track car. It took a bit of time but Porsche is finally allowing the lighter mid-engine platform to encroach on certain 911's and even top them in performance. This is despite the Cayman GT4 still being somewhat neutered in power compared to say a 991 GT3. ...
