THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT THE 964

The best-looking air cooled 911? Yeah, yeah. yeah, we know the majority leaves that legendary status for the 993. But, although we are 993 lovers, there is something a little more special looking about the 964. Let me explain.
 
As the 80’s came to a close, the G-bodies’ impact bumpers and accordions had hit their best-before date, along with the meter-long stick shifter and other aging visuals. It was time for another major redress on the 911.

LIVING IN THE FUTURE WITH THE PORSCHE 992 CARRERA

The Porsche 911 – eighth generation, dubbed 992 to those that speak Porsche – is bigger, beefier, heavier, and techier, and after a few days behind the wheel, your worst fears will be confirmed: despite all of that, you will fall absolutely head-over-heels in love with it. The 992 is one of those cars whose numbers pose as many questions as they impress you, and one whose styling subtleties don’t accurately translate to photos. But, to drive it is to desire it almost to distraction.

THE BMW M5 – THE ORIGINAL SUPER SEDAN

The script for super-sedans generally follows a pretty predictable arc: manufacturer introduces hot, race-inspired model in order to give its luxury sedan customers something to step up to, or show off with; over time, though, bloat sets in and the super-sedan becomes a merely super-fast sedan, its sharp edges worn away in the chase for higher sales volumes and increased customer satisfaction.

UNBREAKABLE – WHY THE FERRARI 458 IS ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREATS

Since getting into the business, I have to say that there’s been one car that continues to amaze, perform and, most of all, be relevant. And that car is the Ferrari 458. The last Pininfarina-penned mid-engined Ferrari V8 really did take the world by storm when it made its first appearance in 2009 (that’s right; the original design is now 11 years old).

DESCENDANTS

When trying to correlate the past with the future, the most obvious path to look down is the one someone’s traveled before. But, what we sometimes fail to realize is that along that path, interactions can happen – meaning one path can actually branch out in different directions. The same message, reincarnated by another.
 
Today, I find myself in presence of two pieces of automotive history. One has already reached legendary status. The other is starting to find its footing.

FAST, FURIOUS, AND NOTHING BUT FUN

This 2001 Ford F-150 Lightning pickup is the least practical take on the most practical kind of vehicle, a street performance-oriented rear-wheel-drive pickup truck with a short box, just two seats, and a propensity for lighting up its rear tires at every opportunity. As such, it’s, like, the most Pfaff Reserve pickup in the world, and a truck we’re happy to have in our stable for rapid parts delivery, tooling around Toronto, and general all-round amusement.

A TALE OF TWO 12C’S

It’s hard to believe that McLaren is about crest the 10-year mark – the first 12Cs were delivered in 2011, introducing the world to a new supercar brand, and one that’s definitely left a major mark on the industry. Amazingly, my counterpart Ed Wang and I both got a dose of MP4-12C over the last month – and not by design, giving us the opportunity to take a look back at this landmark automobile and consider its place in supercar history.

THE PORSCHE 964 RS

I remember it vividly – from time to time back in the early to mid-'90s, you would catch the support races to the F1 Calendar on CBC.  Particularly the Porsche Supercup races. I remember them so well – a bunch of colourful 911s dicing it up and smashing off the curbs as they wrestled around super-tight tracks like Monaco. It seemed a world away, and so special. The Porsche Supercup started with the 964 chassis and has since grown into a one-make series that runs in just about every continent.
