CAR OF THE WEEK

2018 Porsche 991 GT3.2 driven by Motor Trend’s Randy Pobst.

Randy Pobst is a champion racecar driver with 80+ pro wins and a journalist for Motor Trend magazine. He is currently reviewing the 2018 Porsche GT3.2 pictured here for an article for the publication. This car has become one of the most anticipated Porsches in recent years for one reason; a manual transmission. That’s right, the second iteration of the 991 GT3 model comes with an optional 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch auto (PDK) transmission. Having the option to row your own gears is the biggest change from the first gen GT3 until now. Other noteworthy changes include a slightly larger 4.0 engine, more aero, and larger rear wing. Follow Randy on MotorCrush to stay up to date with all of the new and exciting rides he gets to test out with Motor Trend.

MOD OF THE WEEK

BBS LM wheels with Toyo Proxes 4 tires on a 2001 Audi S4 owned by Jeff Steigelmann.

No replicas to see here, these are authentic BBS wheels that were installed by the previous owner of Jeff’s car. The wheels complement the sporty aesthetic of this S4 very well; it’s like they were made for this car! The wheels are wrapped in Toyo Proxes 4 tires, a high performance all-season tire that is sure to bring Jeff’s Audi upgraded traction and handling in any weather condition. You can check out photos of these sharp looking wheels on Jeff’s MotorCrush profile. We look forward to seeing more mods added to his ride.
