6 Wheels to 6 Cylinders - Your weekly dose of automotive nourishment

How many wheels does a 911 need?

Social spotlight 📱

Your eyes don’t deceive you. You’ve seen the G-Wagon 6×6, but now I bring you a 6-wheel Porsche 911, a so called GT3 R6. Wild creation.

Car of the week 💰

I don’t think there’s such a thing as a ‘cheap’ Aston Martin. Those with a low asking price are likely to cost more in the short and long-term. That said, this era of Aston have aged brilliantly (in my view at least) and are available for a touch under £20k. That will be enough to tempt people into a potentially costly purchase, no doubt.

Should you order an alarmingly cheap 2JZ engine from Alibaba? The answer may appear obvious, but Donut put that to the test with a robust tear down and a series of tests. Without too many spoilers, they do plan on putting it in a car next 👀 

Hot off the press 📰

Who doesn’t like a shooting brake!? Top Gear round up the 13 best 2-door estates, from Volvos to Ferraris.

Seen in the wild 👀

Rare to see a Porsche 911 Dakar in full Rothmans Roughroads livery on the road, what made this one really stand out was the number plate - what a perfect pairing. There are a bunch of these available on Autotrader at the moment, but you’ll need at least £225k in your back pocket.
