Porsche's Sonderwunsch Factory One-Off Brings This 911 Speedster (Type 993) To Life
Since 1954, the “Speedster” has been an integral part of Porsche history. Characterized by a two-seat layout, a unique cowl, and shortened windshield, they offer open driving pleasure with expressive driving dynamics. Yet, there’s a gap in the model history. Porsche offered 911 Speedster variants of the G-Series (second generation) and Type 964 (third generation), but except for two one-offs and, much later, a model rebuilt as part of a factory restoration, there was no Speedster from the fourth generation of the 911, the Type 993, save for two—one developed for Ferdinand Alexander Porsche and another for comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

First Drive: 2024 Ford Mustang GT Premium
Of late, Ford’s been playing it safe in the Philippines. With a vast majority—roughly 60 percent—of its sales brought on by the Ranger, you could argue that they could re-brand themselves as the “Ranger Motor Company.” And while that’s great for the bottom line and all, it’s not doing enthusiasts much favors. That is, until a flash in the pan moment somewhere up the corporate ladder has given us this: the seventh-generation Mustang and the first-ever Bronco for the local market.

Review: 2024 Nissan GT-R Premium
The Nissan GT-R (R35) was a performance car icon as soon as it launched in 2007. Carrying the torch of the Skyline GT-Rs everyone knew so well from Gran Turismo, it offered true supercar pace at a bargain price. Fast forward 17 years later, its pace isn’t quite so shocking anymore, and its price, at P 12.445-million, is no longer a bargain. Still, for all its old-fashioned brutality and tech, it’ll be remembered as a showcase of what a crack team of Japanese engineers could do. It’s a legend and deservingly so.
