Some cars are fast.
Some cars are powerful.
But very few cars make you feel something.

The new BMW M3 CS Manual is for the people who still believe driving should be emotional. Three pedals, rear-wheel drive, and a screaming twin-turbo straight-six reminding us why the M badge still matters.

In a world full of touchscreens and automatic everything, BMW decided to build one last proper driver’s car with a manual for the first time in a CS and its rear wheel drive! the full name of the car is BMW M3 CS Handschalter…special suspension that lowers it to 6mm compared to regular M3 and 75 pounds lighter…it inherited special dampers from M4 CSL…we are going see to very limited production numbers which are not yet announced….set back will start from $108,000!!

The numbers still matter:

* 3.0-liter twin-turbo S58 inline-six
* 473 hp
* 406 lb-ft
* 0–100 km/h in about 4.2 seconds
* Top speed around 290 km/h with the M Driver’s Package

This isn’t just an M3.
It’s a love letter to petrolheads.

Future classic written all over it. 🔥

Most people know Porsche for speed, luxury and that iconic shape, but many still don’t understand what the trims actually mean when they see names like Carrera, S, GTS or Turbo.

So let’s break it down properly.

When Porsche releases a model, whether it’s the 911, Cayenne, Panamera, Macan or Taycan, the lineup usually follows a performance ladder.

You start with the “base” model.

This is the standard version. Still fast, still premium, still a Porsche. Even the entry level Porsche is engineered far above what most cars on the road offer. You get the cleanest driving experience, balanced handling and enough performance for daily driving and spirited weekend runs.

Then comes the “S”.

The S badge stands for “Sport.” This is where Porsche starts turning up the aggression. More horsepower, bigger brakes, sharper suspension tuning and usually extra features come standard. The S models feel more alive, more responsive and more performance focused without sacrificing comfort.

For many Porsche enthusiasts, the S trim is the sweet spot because it balances daily usability with real performance.

Then we get to the “GTS.”

Now things become serious.

GTS stands for “Gran Turismo Sport.” Historically, this badge carries a lot of weight in Porsche culture. A GTS is not just about adding horsepower. It’s Porsche taking the best parts from different trims and blending them into a driver-focused machine.

A GTS usually gets:
• More power than the S
• Sharper suspension setup
• Sport exhaust system
• Darkened styling elements
• More aggressive sound
• Better driving dynamics
• Alcantara or Race-Tex interiors
• Lower ride height
• Wider stance in some models

The key difference is this:

An S feels fast.

A GTS feels emotional.

The GTS models are often considered the “driver’s Porsche” because they focus heavily on connection, sound, balance and engagement rather than just raw numbers.

Then above GTS, Porsche normally enters Turbo territory.

Turbo models are engineered monsters. Massive acceleration, advanced technology, brutal speed and everyday comfort combined into one package. Modern Porsche Turbos are so fast they embarrass many supercars.

And finally, depending on the model, you may see GT3, GT3 RS, GT4 RS or Turbo S.

These are the elite performance versions….Motorsport DNA…..Track-focused engineering…..Less compromise…..More precision…..Cars built for people who truly love driving.

What makes Porsche special is that every trim has its own personality.

The base model teaches balance….
The S introduces excitement….
The GTS adds emotion….
The Turbo delivers violence….
The GT cars deliver obsession….

That’s why Porsche enthusiasts care so much about the badges at the back of the car.

They’re not just letters.
They tell you exactly what kind of driving experience the owner chose.

Audi must strike a balance by making it optional

New short film goes live:

https://youtu.be/PTYQYGkhglo?si=OpRrJUI5vxsX1SKb

So, a short film that I have been working on for the past week, just went up on the YT channel.
I have been thinking about this matter quite a lot in the past months, and I decided to do a video about it.
It’s called ”Black Optics: A Fashion That Ruined Audi’s Identity”. And the title is quite telling, isn’t it?

In this short film, I dive deep into the identity of the worldwide famous logo: The Four Rings. Probably one of the strongest branding images in the world. Through out decades and decades, we could always see the chrome or brushed aluminium rings in the front. Something that stood all the way to 2018, when the black colour for your Audi rings and model definition badges, became an option. Great. Now both sides could choose. Those that wanted to stay true to the history and identity, or those that wanted to be with the current fashion and stay cool, could go for black.

What happened the next 8 years, nobody could imagine. We all know that the introduction of the new 2D Audi logo in late 2022, left nobody untouched. Voices have been raised all over the world by Audi enthusiasts, owners and fans, of how they disliked the new version of the logo. And also the constant use of plastic everywhere, making it look like the front logo fell off. Now it was just a big black hole in the grille. And that option of choice, also disappeared. Instead of giving the customer a bridge, they gave them a cliff.
Especially since the optics of having it in the classic brushed aluminium or chrome, completely disappeared. Now, it has come so far that if you order the new RS3 or RS5, you can’t even get them with the brushed aluminium mirrors, window lists, grille frame, silver Audi rings and silver model definition. In the video, I also tell you why I realised that I am myself part of this problem.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I made this short film. To raise awareness, that we have to stand up, speak up, and fight to bring the identity of our beloved brand back. Thank you for your time. Enjoy the video.

They say while you’re still saving for a Porsche, buy a BMW and honestly, it makes sense…a Porsche is the dream for many, but dreams can take time…In the meantime, life keeps moving…..a beemer gives you performance, style, comfort and that driving feeling people respect, without waiting years to enjoy the road….sometimes the smart move is not delaying happiness for the perfect badge….drive what you can enjoy now, keep building, and when the Porsche day comes, you’ll appreciate it even more.

Porsche usually is an Audi with retuned suspension, steering, performance mapping, braking, interiorsa and overall feel to make it distinctively a Porsche.
