2017 Porsche 911 Turbo:
I’m sitting in the passenger seat of an updated 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S in the pit lane of the reborn old Kyalami race circuit in South Africa. Sitting left seat is Jörg Bergmeister, a Porsche factory race car driver and a man I see with some frequency on Porsche media trips. He’s here in South Africa to lead packs of journalists around the supersmooth new circuit in 911 Turbos and Turbo S’s, and he seems perfectly happy to do so. In fact, he always seems happy, ever ready with a smile, unless you try to bump-pass him on the last lap of a race. Still, in all our meetings I have thus far prevented myself from ever calling him the Burgermeister Meisterburger, at least to his face. But right now he’s chatting with someone outside of the car. I haven’t the slightest clue what the two are talking about but, because they are speaking German, it sounds serious, dire even. After he closes the driver’s-side window, I say, “Did that guy just tell you to scare the hell out of your journalist co-driver?” He smiles, of course, and says, “No, no, we are going to have fun.” And of course we do. Or I do anyway. At least when I’m not trying to figure out how he can carry so much speed through a corner or rotate the car with such accuracy. I’d driven the Turbo S several laps earlier in the day with Bergmeister showing me the way in a GT3 RS. Seemed like I was going pretty fast then; but I wasn’t, at least not compared to what we’re doing now. There’s a long downhill section of the course that bottoms out at the entrance to a gentle left-hand bend. It’s a fast section and when I was driving I would add a little less braking each time at the bottom of the hill. Still, Bergmeister would walk away from me there. So when we arrive at the section with him behind the wheel, I say, “I never could figure out how much braking to use here.”...

2017 Aston Martin DB11:
A new chapter in Aston Martin's history began at the 86th International Geneva Motor Show with the unveiling of the Aston Martin DB11. The first product launched under the company's 'Second Century' plan, DB11 is the bold new figurehead of the illustrious 'DB' bloodline and an authentic, dynamic sporting GT in the finest Aston Martin tradition. The Aston Martin DB11 showcases a fresh and distinctive design language, pioneering aerodynamics and is powered by a potent new in-house designed 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Built upon a new lighter, stronger, and more space efficient bonded aluminium structure, DB11 is the most powerful, most efficient and most dynamically gifted DB model in Aston Martin's history. As such, it is the most significant new Aston Martin since the introduction of the DB9 in 2003. Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer said: "We aspire to make the most beautiful cars in the world. Aston Martin DB11 is the absolute embodiment of what an Aston Martin should be and we have worked tirelessly to ensure that DB11 combines both exceptional design with the latest technology throughout. A brand new bonded aluminium platform, clever aerodynamics, a new characterful twin-turbo V12 and class-leading infotainment systems are just a few aspects which make this the sports car that will proudly spearhead Aston Martin's second century plan." Heralding a new design era for Aston Martin, DB11 is the latest landmark in a remarkable aesthetic journey; one that gave us icons such as the DB2/4, DB5 and, most recently, the DB10 developed specifically for James Bond. Aston Martin DB11 re-imagines the relationship between form and function with a series of fresh design signatures. Foremost amongst these are the front-hinging clamshell bonnet, distinctive LED headlights and accentuated lines of the iconic Aston Martin grille. The profile is equally dramatic, thanks to the roof strakes that flow uninterrupted from A-pillar to C-pillar. The clean lines continue at the rear, with a sloping decklid that smoothly blends into boldly sculpted tail-lights to create a new and unmistakable graphic....
