Porsche 918 Spyder

Image
Having previously covered the McLaren P1 (P1 GTR to be exact) and LaFerrari which are the other two members of a group of hypercars that are known as the Holy Trinity, I felt it was time to give some attention to the 3rd, which also happens to be a car I really like as well. The Porsche 918 Spyder. The 918 Spyder is powered by a hybrid V8 engine. The V8 itself has 608 horsepower and combined with two electric motors that add around 282 additional horsepower, the car in total has around 875 horsepower. It reaches top speed of 346 kmph making it the fastest Porsche created as of now. Even though the 918 Spyder may not be as powerful as the LaFerrari or P1, it is still a unique hypercar with its own stand out features that make it special. Unlike the LaFerrari or P1, the 918 Spyder is a convertible only car with no coupes being built and that is actually a pretty unique thing as well since most hypercars are either coupes or offer both coupe and convertible options. It is also an all-whee...

Porsche 911 Dakar Edition

Image
The Auto Madness event in Dubai gave me a great amount of interesting cars to photograph. One of the more unique cars that I saw over there was the Porsche 911 Dakar Edition which was launched just earlier in 2023. What makes the 911 Dakar unique is that it is a 4 wheel drive, off road edition of the regular 911. As of now it is one of only two known supercar off roaders, the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato being the other one. The 911 Dakar sits on a higher platform, has higher ground clearance and comes with special off road tires in order to support off road driving. It also comes with an optional white and blue racing livery with a number on the car if you want. With around 2000 units to be produced, the 911 Dakar is quite rare as well.  Interestingly enough, the 911 Dakar is already sold out. With Porsche seemingly getting a great success with the 911 Dakar with the car being sold out not long after it was launched, it will be interesting to see if the supercar off roader concept...

Porsche 911 Turbo S

Image
There are many variants of the famous Porsche 911 but it is the Porsche 911 Turbo S that I will be covering today. The Porsche 911 Turbo S is the best of the normal, non track 911s that you can buy. The Turbo S has 640 horsepower and a great top speed of 330 kmph. The 911 Turbo S also comes with a convertible version called the Turbo S Cabriolet. It is no surprise that the Turbo S is one of the more popular 911 models as it has all the performance that you would expect from a 911 but it can also easily be driven well on roads. If you aren’t a track person but still want to own a powerful Porsche 911 model with good top speed, acceleration and general performance, the Turbo S is definitely the model to pick.  There are also plenty of customization options for this model. TechArt offers several kits and other options for the 911 Turbo S. There is also another thing that can be done with the Porsche 911 Turbo that includes Turbo S if one wants to enhance the car even more. TechArt can...

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Image
The Porsche 911 GT3 is the high performance variant of the Porsche 911 and one of the most famous performance cars of all time. The car that I blog about however is the 911 GT3 RS which is basically an even better version of the 911 GT3. The 911 GT3 RS is much faster compared to the GT3 and is made more specifically to race on the track. The GT3 RS reaches a top speed of well over 300 kmph making it one of the fastest Porsches, it also has a great acceleration. The GT3 RS gets its great power from a naturally aspirated flat-six engine. It is clear when you look at the GT3 RS that it is a true track car. Some of the noticeable features on the GT3 RS are the large spoiler on the back of the car and the letters of the model name written on the side of the car. Like other track edition Porsches the GT3 RS can come in a wide variety of colors and specs. Many of these cars have multiple colors in one as well as other exterior changes like in the photo above. There is another variant of the ...

Porsche 911 Carrera S

Image
November 15th is the 1st anniversary of the Fast Entertainer blog and it is a pretty special occasion which is why it feels like the right time to make a post about the supercar that started it all. The very first supercar that I have documented. The Porsche 911 Carrera S. This is the actual car which I spotted and photographed. You can see it has a nice red color, all black wheels and even a spoiler in the back. You can also see the Carrera S name on the side of the car. I later found out the Porsche 911 Carrera S is a slightly better variant compared to the base 911 as well which is why I was very happy this happened to be my first documented find. I have of course seen or spotted many supercars since then and I have been able to document them. But the first find is a special one and I am glad that it was something like this. The Porsche 911 Carrera S I will always remember for being the car responsible for me starting my mission to document supercars which eventually lead to the c...

Porsche Taycan

Image
Todays post is going to be about the Porsche Taycan. The Taycan is Porsches first electric supercar and comes in the normal variant and the Turbo variant. Like most electric supercars the Taycan has a great acceleration going from 0 to 100 kmh in around 4 seconds and the Taycan Turbo has a top speed of 260 kmh and this likely makes it one of the fastest electric cars of all time and not to mention The Porsche Taycan is also a very well designed car and especially the front end of it is beautiful. The Porsche Taycan is quickly becoming one of the most popular electric supercars in the world and it is easy to see why because of the Taycans great performance and looks as well as the fact the car is from a a legendary German brand known for making supercars. Recently the Taycan has also been selected as the new safety car for the Formula E racing series. The Porsche Taycan is an electric supercar that has given tough competition to the Tesla and has definitely changed things up in the elec...
