As Long As You Can Afford The Up Keep
A Hot Rod Porsche 911 Is The Only Fast Car You'll Ever Need
But if you happen to have a Porsche 964, you’re there already. There’s no need for a faster car, there’s no need for an older car, there’s no need for a more modern 911. The 964 is it, and has been for a while now, which means they will only get more expensive.
With a massaged engine, a smarter suspension, a minor brake upgrade and enough weight thrown out, you won’t ever need more.

They Have A Great Reason
Here's Why AMG Is Holding Off On Hybrids Until 2020
Mercedes-Benz head of R&D, Thomas Webber, spoke to Autocar regarding holding off on any sort of hybrid setup until 2020. He explained, “We haven’t done it so far, because right now the customer wouldn’t buy it. AMG customers tell us they want the sportiest performance option available in any given sector of the performance market.” Although the thought of a hybrid GT S may be worrisome, we are expecting AMG to do it right. What it will mean is a torque boost at zero RPM and even more horsepower to shrink 0-60 times. Oh, and better fuel economy. We trust AMG so much that we are hoping hybrid setups come even sooner as five years is way behind the curve.
