The Porsche 911 has always been inspirational. Over the years, the rear-engined German icon has become the go-to benchmark for would-be sports car contenders, not to mention the motivation for plenty of people to get that bonus or clinch that promotion.

Porsche is giving up the technical specifications on the Mission E, which will launch as the Porsche Taycan. What sports car fans will want to know most is exactly how much power the car delivers.

Not too long ago Porsche offered up some photos of the new Macan SUV as it was undergoing testing in the mountains in South Africa. Fast forward a bit and Porsche has now unveiled the new Macan in Shanghai. The new Macan is a very attractive vehicle and has a three-dimensional LED taillight strip. The standard headlights are LED and the interior is heavily revised from the outgoing model.
Porsche has announced that it is currently working on the extensively revised new Macan. The revised Macan will mark the second half of the model lifecycle and Porsche is currently testing the new SUVs at high altitude in South Africa. Porsche notes that all the new components of the car have undergone extensive load testing over the last few months.

Give an electric car its freedom and it'll pay you back double in broken speed records and acts of excess.

Rimac is a company that is from Croatia and is working on making some insanely fast electric sports cars. The Rimac C_Two, for instance, can hit 60 mph in an incredible 1.85 seconds.
