New Turbo"S" at last months Porsche club Autocross, I was working the 1st corner by the starting line. I loved watching it launch off the starting line. It squats down & just leaps ahead with zero drama & little noise until it goes past & you hear the exhaust. MSRP with options was $276K!

It's one of the best convertible sports cars money can buy, but how does the new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet compare to one of its mighty predecessors? Steve Sutcliffe tests one of only eight 930 Flatnose models left against its modern sibling to find out which is more desirable.

At the Festival of Speed, Chief Driving Consultant Gordon Robertson met up with Le Mans-winning Porsche driver Richard Attwood. Together they discuss the technology of Richard's 1970 Porsche 917, and compare it to that of the range-topping Porsche 911 Turbo S. Watch as Richard exploits the 911 to the full as he charges up the Goodwood hill.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS revealed in new patent photos
Could be introduced later this year or early next year
The first patent photos of the 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS have surface online.
Discovered by Car Magazine, the pictures reveal the model will follow in the footsteps of the 911 GT3 but adopt a muscular hood and wider, ventilated front fenders. Moving further back, there's double bubble roof, lightweight wheels and rear fenders from the 911 Turbo. The model also has a new engine cover and a sporty rear wing.
Inside, there's sports seats and a roll cage that resides where the rear seats would normally be located.
Porsche has been relatively coy about the model but it could use a 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine that develops more than 475 PS (349 kW). It will likely be paired exclusively to a PDK transmission which has been specifically tuned for use in the model.
