Porsche has a pair of new sports cars likely to go down well with purists, and if you enjoy rowing your own gears and the sound of a naturally-aspirated boxer engine, you may fit that category nicely. The Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and 2021 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 each check off a number of performance options as standard, which should make for some fun on - and off - the track.
It's the end of an era for Porsche, with the final 991-Gen Porsche 911 rolling off the production line and setting a record in the process. The German automaker called time on the 991-Gen after 233,540 cars being produced, the final being a 911 Speedster, the special two-seater version Porsche produced to mark its 70th anniversary.
There are electric cars, and there’s the Porsche Taycan. Make no mistake, the Taycan is a very big deal for Porsche and every other performance electric car released in the future. For the sake of simplicity, what started out as the Mission E concept around five years ago has morphed into what is really an electrified and elongated version of the Porsche 911, and that's all for the better. In the process, though, you can't miss the chatter around how the Taycan is around $50,000 more than a Tesla Model S Performance model, a car which goes faster to 60 mph, can accommodate five grown adults comfortably, and theoretically has a longer range.
Porsche's crossover SUV is getting a performance bump, with the 2020 Macan GTS adding the Gran Turismo Sport badge for the first time. Promising 375 horsepower - up 15 hp from the old model - the Macan GTS now does 0-60 mph in as little as 4.5 seconds.
The Star Wars franchise is home to a number of vehicles, most of which will probably never become reality. But with cars becoming smarter and gaining wings, some manufacturers might want to give that idea a spin, even if only on a conceptual level. That is exactly what Porsche did with Lucasfilm's blessing, designing a new Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus that you will sadly not see in any official film or media.
Porsche finds itself forced to defend the all-electric range of the 2020 Taycan Turbo, after US EPA testing came up with a far smaller figure than many EV-fans were expecting. The new electric sedan is Porsche's big push into a segment dominated by Tesla, but the window sticker in dealerships is going to require a little explaining.
The manual transmission may be gradually disappearing, but Porsche knows what 911 enthusiasts want. The German automaker has confirmed that the 2020 911 Carrera S and 4S will be offered with a manual transmission, regardless of whether you opt for the coupe or the convertible. And that's not the only good news.
Porsche has announced the addition of a new model into the Taycan line that will slot in beneath the existing Taycan Turbo S and the Taycan Turbo. The new car is the Taycan 4S, and it is the entry-level car for the Taycan line. Taycan 4S buyers can choose between two battery sizes and corresponding power outputs.
The 2019 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid wears its green credentials on its sleeve: quite literally, in fact, with unmistakable lime green badges on the front fenders. Seventeen years after introduction, there's now no doubting that the market was ready to embrace a Porsche SUV. Question is, does a hybrid drivetrain sit at odds with this sporting luxe-truck?
Today Porsche and Boeing entered into a partnership for the future of urban air mobility and "the extension of urban traffic into airspace." Sort of like Back to the Future 2, or The Fifth Element, or Blade Runner - or any number of other sci-fi stories - this partnership is about the "Premium Urban Air Mobility Market."
If you've been holding out for a new 911, waiting for all-wheel drive, consider it your lucky day as Porsche pulls the sheets off the 2020 911 Carrera 4 and 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. Making their debut today, the latest iterations of the 992 Series each pack 379 hp just like their rear-wheel drive counterparts.
The new Porsche Taycan may not have the range to best a Tesla, but the German automaker has a plan to change that, increasing its stake in performance EV specialist Rimac. Porsche snapped up 10-percent of the Croatian company back in mid-2018, and has now increased that to 15.5-percent.
