The new Porsche 911 Carrera T

Hello everyone sorry for slacking on posts just been busy lately, but I still have some stuff I want to talk about with you all.  So Porsche just revealed and new 911 model called the 911 Carrera T.  This new model is a tribute to the late 60 and early 70s 911 T's, which were a basic touring car. This model has been stripped down to the bare necessities, no stereo, no sound insulation, and built to put the driver closer to the action for a lower price. It was built as a throw back to the basics behind driving a sports car. The T runs a 3.0L twin turbo-ed H6 pushing out around 370horses.  This car only weights a staggering 3,142lbs making it the lightest in the Carrera fleet and it available with a manual 6 speed.  The car has a starting price of 102K and when compared to their other models with similar prices this car definitely takes the cake, but it still seems a bit steep for a car with only an optional stereo. I find this car cool because it's a tribute to Porsche's history of building touring cars but it's really not my style. I personally really enjoy the 718 Cayman models which in my experience are a great value for a fun, fast, and reasonable prices Porsches. If this new Carrera really catches your eye though and you'd like to find out more you can find everything you need here at Porsche's website, Porsche 911 T.

2018 Ranger Raptor

       If you are a car and truck guy you've heard of a ford F150 raptor but have you heard of the 2018 Ranger Raptor?  You probably haven't, because Ford released the video below about a month ago and it hasn't received much traffic. I being a hard core Ford guy and a ranger owner myself am excited to see what ford can do with this new platform. The Ranger Raptor will be based off the current ranger which is sold mostly everywhere but in North America (Picture below).

        Unfortunately if you live here in the states we might never get the Ranger Raptor because its so far is only being released in Australia and New Zealand. By 2019 though Ford is planning on releasing the standard ranger model to the US. Sorry if I got any of your hopes up, but if you really desire a off road capable ranger used rangers are cheap and plenty of companies build suspension kits for them. Here is a popular one by Camburg Racing Camburg Ranger Kit .  Well thanks for your guy's time and I hope you enjoyed, until next time.

Welcome to Auto-tecture

Hello all, welcome to my new blog. I set this blog up as a homework assignment, but I am allowed to write about anything. I chose to blog about my passion which is cars, and architecture. I am an avid gear head so I'll be talking about everything from modern and classic cars to heavy equipment and semi-trucks.  Architectural Engineering is my major so I will be throwing in some buildings and garages as well.  Thank you for visiting and I'll be updating weekly with images, posts, and news from both the automotive world and the architecture world. Have a great rest of your week and see you back soon.
