Race Preview: 2010 24 Hours Of Le Mans

First Look: 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS
Porsche has given up the details on its most powerful street-legal car ever, the 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. Based on the already potent 911 GT2, its biturbo, 3.6-liter flat-six produces a stomach-turning 620 horsepower in a car that only weighs 3020 pounds.
List: Top Ten Cars We Probably Had Posters Of As Children
In elementary school, we had book fairs every few months. For us as kids, they were an excuse to get out of class, check out the newest Guinness Book of World Records, score some Mad Libs, and, of course, come home with a totally radical car poster. Even today, we still see some of these same cars sold in frames at mall kiosks, or given away as carnival prizes, and it makes us think of the cars we loved as kids, usually for no good reason.

Porsche will debut its newest monster, the 2011 911 Turbo S at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Its twin-turbocharged flat six-cylinder engine produces 530 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. As a result, it can hit 62 miles per hour from a standstill in a stomach-turning 3.3 seconds.

List: Ten Great Rear Seats
As drivers, we very rarely get to sample the nice rear seats that automakers put into their latest and greatest cars. Whether it’s for the purpose of luxury or functionality, rear seats have come a long way from the standard benches of yore, and this list is a true testament to some cars being better suited for passengers, rather than those behind the steering wheel.
Driven: 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged
Perhaps the fat years for vehicles like the supercharged version of the Range Rover Sport have come to an end (or have nearly come there). Yes, Land Rover is still certainly more than willing to sell you one of its towering, racecar-fast SUVs, and there are probably more than a handful of well-off customers that are willing to buy. But the underlying era that gave birth to this category of super-fast SUVs has long since passed in the eyes of most who follow such things—dealt a dual deathblow by the fuel price spike of 2008 and the concurrent economic collapse. There’s something about losing your job and your life savings that makes you not want to burn four-dollar 97 octane at a rate of one gallon per 12 miles (or worse).

As 2009 comes to a close, we’ve been reflecting on the many cars that have stood out over the past decade.

Here, we present to you, the most beautiful cars of the last decade.

All-Electric eRUF Stormster Debuts In Europe
RUF Automobile, the Bavarian group responsible for creating some of the most drool-worthy Porsches ever to tackle the Nürburgring, has created something a little friendlier, at least to the environment. The eRUF Stormster is a battery-electric version of the Porsche Cayenne, and its debut coincides with the European Climate Change Conference currently underway in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Driven: 2010 BMW X5M
If a nonsensical vehicle like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S tickles your fancy, you may want to leave space on your bedroom wall for another drool-worthy pinup. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the BMW X5M. It has 555 horsepower, it runs a tuned version of BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, and it costs $85,400—that’s a whopping $40,900 less than the starting price of Madam Cayenne. And if you immediately think to yourself, “Well, clearly this is because the Porsche is a superior vehicle,” you’ll want to think again. The X5M is as good to drive as it is unnecessary to own.
First Look: 2010 Porsche Boxster Spyder
