Ada begitu banyak varian Porsche 911 yang akan membuat Anda harus menghafalnya. 911 Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera T, GT3, GT3 RS, Turbo, Targa-Anda sudah paham maksudnya. Namun, di tengah-tengah jajaran mobil ini ada 911 yang sangat signifikan: 911 GTS 2025. 911 hibrida pertama. Pikiran pertama saya ketika mendengar tentang GTS baru adalah: "Hibrida?" Hibrida sebagian besar merupakan kata yang kotor bagi para penggemar otomotif, terutama jika dikaitkan dengan mobil sport.

The E46 BMW M3 has one of the tallest statures in all of automotive history. It's the one that every M3 is judged against, save for the E30, and is almost universally beloved.

The general attitude in amateur paddocks across the country is that racing school is a waste of money. Just spend it on more track time.
