What is it with Porsche and setting records all the time? It seems as if every time a new car comes out of Porsche’s GT department, it goes and shaves a second of its previous Nurburgring time. But EVs are one of Porsche’s biggest focuses for this coming decade, prompting them to once again sit atop the king’s hill at the racetrack.
The Taycan set off to Road Atlanta to do just that, but this isn’t the first time the Taycan has set a record in its short life. Just two weeks ago, Chris Harris and Porsche took a rear-drive Taycan to the Hockenheimring and set the EV continuous drift record. The Taycan assumably also has countless streetlight drag racing victories as well, if that counts for anything.

Why The 996 Is Not The Worst 911, And Why It’s Probably Your Best Option
The “don’t judge a book by its cover” saying has been used on the 996 since the first journalist drove one in ‘96, so I will say “don’t knock it ‘til you try it.” A 996 Porsche is not a bad egg just because its headlights look like they came from a chicken, in fact, it is a wonderful time machine to the ‘90s. The simplicity that owned this generation is encapsulated within the 996 perfectly.
The base 3.4 Liter engine made 296 hp and only had to carry around the 996s 2,900-lb body. That’s like if the current base 2020 Subaru WRX made 30 more horsepower and weighed 600 lbs less. That’s quick. Then you get to the Turbo models - for the year 2000, the Turbo model got an all-wheel-drive system, an aero package, and a twin-turbo 3.6 Liter that made 414 hp.

What involves a three-legged stool, a huge loss of money, and the word “Colorado?” Evidently, only one thing - the story of the Porsche Cayenne. If our little guessing game didn’t get your attention, then how about the title? One million is the now official number of Porsche Cayennes that have rolled off the line at Porsche Factories.
The Cayenne is a common car to see nowadays. Perhaps one of your friends or family members have one, or maybe you just see a couple on the road every day on the way to work. But 25-30 years ago, seeing a Porsche badge on a public road was like seeing your parents on a non-holiday - very very rare.
