Bringing Back Performance

Aman named Rob Van Winkle once sang, “Rollin’ in my five-point-oh, with my ragtop down so my hair can blow.” Although Vanilla Ice was a self-proclaimed lyrical poet, the pop song “Ice, Ice Baby” doesn’t quite reach the poetic depths of say, Bob Dylan. The irony is that Ice had […]

1996 BMW 850 CSi

The BMW 850 CSi was the factory’s flagship model in the mid-1990s. It featured the silky-smooth S70 V12 engine mated to a Getrag 6-speed manual transmission and was one of the first cars to offer drive-by-wire throttle control. Developed from the M70, the S70 increased the bore and stroke and […]

Despite the enormous success of its production-based race cars throughout its history, Porsche rarely developed such models as official factory entries, preferring instead to support them in the hands of privateer customers. One of the notable exceptions occurred in the mid-1980s with the advent of one of Stuttgart’s most celebrated […]
