Remember when APR announced they cracked OBD-II port flashing without requiring a physical ECU unlock on the 991.2 platforms (and 718) with the Siemens SDI 21.X engine control unit? Well, it only took a couple days for this to be stolen. ...Published on 12-07-2019 01:28 AM
The APR Porsche onslaught continues! Remember, not too long ago APR announced they cracked Siemens SDI 21.X OBD-II port flashing meaning a physical unlock was not required. Now they are rolling out Porsche software tune after software tune with the 991.2 Turbo S being the latest Porsche recipient. ...Published on 12-07-2019 01:13 AM
As you know Doc Race already released their top mount B58 kit based around a BorgWarner EFR turbocharger for the new MKV/A90 Toyota Supra. The version for B58 equipped BMW vehicles such as the F22 240i, G20 340i, G22 440i, etc., followed after and here it is. ...Published on 12-06-2019 11:04 PM
The Ferrari Roma is a beautiful new GT but as soon as it was announced people started to wonder if Ferrari might produce a cabriolet version. That would seemingly present a problem as the Ferrari Portofino occupies that particular niche in the lineup. ...Published on 12-06-2019 10:04 PM
Just a few months back we saw an F87 M2 lapping the Hockenheim GP circuit but that was an F87 M2 CS test mule. Sport Auto grabbed an F87 M2 Competition and also tested it on the Hockenheim GP track so we know exactly how much the CS edition picks up on the Competition. ...Published on 12-06-2019 09:22 PM
Well, we finally have a 10-second Audi RS5 and 10-second 2.9 liter EA839 V6. What is somewhat amusing is the 3.0 liter EA839 in the B9 S4 and S5 has the performance lead right now and it is not by a small margin. ...Published on 12-06-2019 09:12 PM
McLaren owners pushing big power, you will want to pay attention to this. Dodson is tackling the McLaren dual clutch transmission or SSG (Seamless Shift Gearbox). This will be appreciated by those McLarens with upgraded turbos or who do hard standing start launches. ...Published on 12-06-2019 08:56 PM
The Cannonball run is something of legend in American automotive circles and the famous coast to coast United States run spawned two movies in the 80's. These days, the endeavor is something people take on by themselves and it is more difficult than ever due to law enforcement. ...Published on 12-05-2019 09:02 PM
This record will be topped and then topped again as temps drop and drag racing season gets going in negative DA (density altitude). What you see here though is what the new GT500 is capable of in factory trim and considering the curb weight, balance, and rear wheel drive layout the change to a DCT transmission is working wonders. ...Published on 12-05-2019 08:46 PM
The McLaren 600LT is currently the lightest production McLaren vehicle short of the limited edition Senna. They did not strip out weight and add power while adding downforce for fun. This car is designed to be a track weapon yet at its much lower price point can not be allowed to step on the toes of its 720S big brother. ...Published on 12-05-2019 08:05 PM
Now we are starting to cook with gas! Take a look at this very impressive Audi B9 S5 1/4 mile pass from an S5 EA839 3.0 with the Pure Turbos Stage 2 hybrid turbo upgrade. The car managed to hit 10.585 @ 134.39 miles per hour. ...Published on 12-05-2019 07:28 PM
You knew this was coming hot on the heels of the APR 718 software suite release. This is arguably the most impressive software release to date on the 991.2 9A2B6 3.0 platform and APR is providing considerable testing data along with being the first tuner to date so support OTS 100% E85 tuning. ...Published on 12-05-2019 07:22 PM
Great numbers here right in what is arguably the 'sweet spot' for the N54. This E92 335i belongs to BimmerBoost member @Lazyme870 and it has 160k+ miles on it. This car gets driven and with ~630 rear wheel horsepower must be a lot of fun. ...Published on 12-04-2019 07:26 PM
This just does not feel very McLaren. In a recent Car and Driver interview McLaren's CEO Mike Flewitt made some startling revelations including McLaren working on an wheel drive vehicle and that in 3-4 years we can expect all McLarens to be hybrid. ...Published on 12-04-2019 07:03 PM
While we wait for the Porsche 992 GT3 and Turbo models to debut we are getting more 992 Carrera S test numbers. Sport Auto did a lap test of the new 911 Carrera S and it is impressive topping some strong cars but falling short of the 991 generation GT3's. ...
