A tuning house based in California called Gunther Werks has launched onto the custom car scene an incredibly attractive run of 993-generation Porsche 911 cars that are heavily customized. The vehicle is a modern interpretation of an extremely rare 993-based Speedster, and Gunther Werks will build 25 of the cars. The entire run is likely to sell out.
Porsche has shared one of the first official shots of the upcoming Taycan Cross Turismo, the all-electric wagon-crossover sibling of the Taycan EV. Based on the striking Mission E Cross Turismo Concept shown off back in 2018, it's a more upright, more practical version of an electric car than the Taycan, with Porsche sharing a few new tidbits as we wait for full launch details.
Porsche knows how to woo its enthusiasts, and the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is excellent example of that in action. The newest example of the automaker's race-ready road cars, the new 911 GT3 pairs 502 horsepower with a head-turning design and serious motorsports credentials.
A top speed of 102 miles per hour doesn't, on the face of it, sound at all impressive, especially for the Porsche Taycan EV which, in Turbo S form, has 750 horsepower to play with. Still, it was enough to score the German automaker a new Guinness World Records title, an extra notch in the Taycan's metaphorical bedpost for a challenge most people probably didn't even know existed.
As it turns out, the Porsche Taycan is not only a superb all-electric vehicle. It also has the uncanny ability to enter the record books frequently. In 2019, the Taycan set a new EV record at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, completing the 20.6-km treacherous racetrack in seven minutes and 42 seconds.
This week LEGO revealed a new new Creator Expert Porsche 911 set with two potential forms. The set comes with a whopping 1458 pieces and is recommended for ages 18 and up - so it's not your kids' set, for sure. This set can create with the Porsche 911 Turbo model or the Targa model (complete with Targa bar and removable roof (with storage under the hood.) It looks simple - but it's not going to be easy!
Porsche teased us with the promise of more range from its 2021 Taycan all-electric sedan, and sure enough with the official figures starting to filter through from the EPA it's good news for EV buyers. Signs that the Taycan - which launched last year to unexpectedly rough results from the US Environmental Protection Agency - was about to improve began circulating earlier this week.
Porsche has confirmed pricing for the 2021 Panamera range, and if you've been wondering just what the new Panamera Turbo S can do with 620 horsepower on tap, a new lap record demonstrates just why the big sedan is still the daddy. Headed to US dealerships in spring 2021, the new model year for the Panamera spans both a plug-in hybrid and more potent versions like the Panamera GTS.
Porsche Taycan buyers will be able to stop pestering their dealer as they wait for their all-electric sedan to arrive, with the automaker adding a new way to track production of the luxury EV. The Taycan - which received several updates for the 2021 model year, not least a bump in estimated electric range - is the second model to be added to Porsche's Track Your Dream service.
Porsche has quietly increased its range estimates for the 2021 Taycan, addressing arguably the biggest criticism of the Tesla-rivaling electric vehicle as it launches its most affordable version yet. The new 2021 Taycan RWD brings ownership of the EV Porsche sedan down to around $80k before incentives, but there are also changes for the rest of the line-up that the German automaker hadn't mentioned before.
Staying true to its promise, Porsche is announcing the arrival of its base Taycan EV with a single electric motor and rear-wheel-drive (RWD). This new base model lowers the Taycan’s base price to around $81,250, which is still dearer than a base Tesla Model S Long Range Plus. Surprisingly, the base Taycan RWD is available with two battery options.
For a while, it seemed as if the future of owning an automobile would be a subscription where you paid an ongoing monthly fee and had access to multiple car models from a single brand. Subscription programs were available from BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and others for a while. BMW recently announced that it was canceling its subscription service that began in 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee.
