Porsche has converted its Le Mans hypercar into a street machine. The carmaker's Sonderwunsch group worked with the race team to build a 963 that has been tuned and adjusted to function on the road, following in the footsteps of a street-going 917 project from 50 years ago ago. The car is a one-off, built specifically for Roger Penske — whose full name, Roger Searle Penske, gives the 963 RSP its three-letter suffix. Read more about the Porsche 963 RSP here.

One-quarter of the way through the 21st Century, high-end SUVs are one of the dominant categories in the automotive market — every brand from Acura to Volvo has them, in sizes ranging from diminutive to Brobdingnagian.

It’s almost impossible to talk about the 2025 BMW M5 without addressing the elephant in the room. That being its two-and-three-quarter-ton curb weight, which is near the mass of a female Asian elephant. But is that really such a big deal? After all, the Audi RS6 Avant Performance—the M5 Touring’s sole direct competitor—tips the scales at 4982 pounds, only about 500 pounds less than the BMW, and the Audi is also down roughly 100 hp and 100 lb-ft.

The new 2025 BMW M5 has two main points of novelty: it's very heavy, and it's available as a station wagon for the first time in the United States in the form of the M5 Touring. The former is due in large part to the plug-in hybrid powertrain, which enables a total system output of 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque from the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and the electric motor and battery pack with 14.8-kWh of usable capacity pack working in sync.
