Porsche has unveiled a new flavor of the venerable 911 sports car. This is the 2018 911 Carrera T with the "T" standing for touring. This car is a modern version of the 1968 911 T. Porsche says that the new car has less weight, a manual transmission, shorter constant transaxle ratio, and standard mechanical rear differential lock.
Porsche has unveiled the 718 Cayman GTS and Boxster GTS cars, and right off the bat, we can clear up rumors about a return to the flat-six. It hasn't happened. Both the Cayman GTS and the Boxster GTS carry on with a revised version of the 2.5L turbo flat four that is found in the Cayman S and Boxster S cars. The good news is that the four has more power in GTS form than it did in the S cars.
Want to drive a Porsche but can't bring yourself to settle on just one model? The German automaker has joined the short list of companies offering subscription-based access to its line-up, with the debut of Porsche Passport. Dubbed a sports car and SUV subscription program, with Passport you pay for the privilege of not having to make a long-term decision.
Porsche's all-electric Mission E may be in the pipeline, but the German sportscar maker couldn't resist dropping an EV drivetrain into another vehicle from its range. The company has taken the wraps off the Cayman e-volution, a proof-of-concept that demonstrates electrification needn't mean more-pious-than-you tepid motoring. Unfortunately, there's bad news from Porsche along with the good.
The high-end car market has plenty of luxury performance four-door cars available to purchase. There are things like the new Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo with 680hp on tap as well as the Maserati Ghibli. It looks like Lamborghini may be stepping into the four-door luxury performance market.
The black car you see in the images in the gallery here is said to be the Porsche Mission E in production bodywork. It looks a lot like the concept car that spawned it, albeit with more Panamera in its style than the concept. The car in the photos was spied near the Porsche R&D center in Weissach outside of Stuttgart.
The high-end automotive world is moving to all digital instrument clusters rather than the gauges with physical needles we are used to. Recently a Porsche 911 was spied plying the streets that looked as you expect a 911 to look on the outside, but had something very cool on the inside. Take a gander at what appears to be the future dash for the car.
Porsche has announced the most powerful Panamera Sport Turismo and the car is a hybrid. The gas engine for the car is a 550 hp 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine and the electric hybrid motor is a 136hp unit. Total system output for the car is 680hp and 626 lb-ft of torque.
Since I was 12 and got my first subscription to MotorTrend magazine, I have long thought that the guys who get to work there have the greatest jobs ever. They get to drive all sorts of cool vehicles and drive them fast. They als get to do the World's' Greatest Drag Race, something they have done alongside their Best Driver's Car each year since 2011.
It's been two years now since Porsche revealed the stunning Mission E concept — its first all-electric model — at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Since then we've heard that the four-door will actually enter production to challenge Tesla's growing dominance in the EV market, but little else has been revealed. That's finally starting to change, as the German carmaker's CEO Oliver Blume has shared concrete information on the Mission E's release date and pricing.
Porsche has gone official with one of the hottest SUVs on the market in the form of the 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The SUV has a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 heart that makes 550 hp and 567 lb-ft of torque. Porsche says that it is quicker and faster than the previous generation Cayenne Turbo S.
What's a person to do if they want a Porsche 911 GT3 but also crave life out of the spotlight? The German automaker believes it has the answer with the 2018 911 GT3 with Touring Package, a new version of the coupe that drops its most outlandish feature. Where normally the GT3's sizable fixed rear wing would be found, the Touring Package trades it for a far more discreet alternative.
