First Look: 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0
2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 - First Look - Automobile Magazine
Bigger engine, massive wing, and 7:27 'Ring time define this limited-edition 911.

Apparently not satisfied with five, ten, 15, or even 20 variants of the 911, Porsche has launched yet another version of its vaunted sports car. The 2011 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is a halo performance machine limited to just 600 units worldwide. It is a step up from the 911 GT3 RS and was inspired by the 911 GT3 RSR race car.

First Drive: 2012 Lamborghini Aventador
Lamborghini Aventador - Automobile Magazine
More fun than a bunga-bunga party.

I just got done driving the new Lamborghini Aventador, and I am pleased to report that it goes very fast. Also, some of them are a neat orange color, while others are white and various other hues. And it has a starter button that's covered with a red lid that you flip up like you're about to arm your Tomcat's Hellfires and smoke some Commies. Which is sort of strange when you want to turn the car off. Arm missiles! And then the engine stops.
