Or almost 3sec faster than the previous-gen 992.1 with Manthey bits
“The turn in is so instinctive, it’s as though the car read your thoughts moments before”
We thought (and fought) long and hard over a car to represent the 100 most recent issues of Top Gear and what's happened on planet petrolhead since late 2017. Obviously, it should be electric, futuristic, and intelligently linked to the Internet.

We can hear you cheering at the back
The current-generation of the Porsche Boxster and Cayman will soon bow out. A few years ago, it was said their successors will be electric-only, and we can only imagine the uproar from the Porsche community. As we all know, that
Are classic 911s really worth the hype?
Maybe it was because the first one I saw had a surfboard on the roof. I'm not even sure how I saw it. My memory says there was a backdrop of Californian coast, which means six year old me definitely saw
It could share the same platform as the MX-5
The current-generation Toyota GR86 isn't exactly an aged product, but there are already reports of a next-generation model coming soon. Launched in 2021, the car has enjoyed a fair bit of success, but it seems this model won't
Getting the transmission it always deserved
The automatic transmission has come a long way. No longer the slush boxes that give poorer fuel economy, today's automatic is quick-shifting and posts better fuel efficiency. The thing is, there's always something a little bit more special about
And it’ll keep on accelerating to a top speed of 319kph
Brabus has announced an even crazier spin on the catchily titled Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance with this new '1000' version. As you can probably guess, that means its twin-turbo hybrid V8 produces exactly... 986hp. That's 1,000
It will be ‘extremely limited edition’
A company called JAS Motorsport has revealed it is building a high-performance road car. JAS Motorsport has been Honda's official racing partner since 1998, winning touring car, GT, and rally titles, so it knows a thing or three about going

Because no one really wants to be reminded about 2020
Shock news! Maserati has announced its MC20 is no more. Yep, time's up for the V6-engined flagship supercar and... wait, hang on, what we're looking at above is Maser's "new super sports car".Essentially it's facelift

But should it still be called MX-5?
Mazda's creatively titled, newly published 'Electric Vehicle' patent looks like the makings of an electric-powered MX-5, where the batteries are stored in "the tunnel portion of the formed floor".The application - complete with some extremely useful illustrations (above) - details

That’s besides the semi-confirmed Celica revival
Who would've thought that it would be Toyota to lead the charge in Japanese sports cars? It would've been unimaginable 15 years ago, but its chairman, Akio Toyoda, did promise that they wouldn't make boring cars anymore.Fast forward
Too hot to handle
Living in Laguna means having access to lots of open roads and twisties. So whenever assistant managing editor Leandre or I get test units-especially performance cars-we try to enjoy them responsibly as much as possible.We wake up early for
It gets green paint and a special cabin
Sound the alarms and light the beacons... again: It's another special-edition Porsche 911. Heck, is there even enough fuel left to light the beacons after all the previous limited-run Porsches? Well, this one's a hybrid so at least

According to a recent ‘Road & Track’ report
The current-generation Mazda MX-5 is getting a bit...old. There's just no going around it. The ND platform-despite getting several updates over the years-is already turning a decade old in 2025. Not that we're complaining, of
Cars like these will never happen again
It was inevitable, really. My love affair with the Renault Clio dates back to 2011, when I bought a 2005 1.2 16V 'Extreme' as a fresh-faced 17-year-old after passing my driving test. Three years later, I'd somehow
RX-7 revival, anyone?
Is the rotary sports car revival really happening? For over a decade, we've been hearing Mazda say it will bring it back in one way or another. At times, it feels like The Boy Who Cried Wolf with several false starts
Still worth the hype after 30 years
My upbringing in a family of carholics coincided with the fabulous era of 1990s Japan. It was an era where NSXs battled Ferraris, GT-Rs broke Nurburgring records and the first of the 10-second Supras emerged.Toyota ruled my roost, not
A hybrid, but not as you know it
The mere idea of electrifying the Porsche 911 is more than enough to chills down the car's purist fanbase. Remember, these were the same people who had a violent reaction when the headlights were slightly less round than its predecessor. We'
It’s a busy year for Gazoo Racing
If you've been eyeing a Toyota Supra but want the thrill of manually shifting your gears, that or you need more leg workouts, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has quietly released the manual version of its iconic sports car.It's a

Were you able to swing by BGC to check it out?
In case you missed it, there was a spectacle for gearheads yesterday in Bonifacio Global City where the 6th Sports Car for a Cause was held. It was the talk of the town all weekend, and the turnout was sheer proof of
