Since 2021, the Porsche CayenneTurbo GT is the fastest SUV around the "Ring"

Porsche managed the record with the non-hybrid Cayenne Turbo GT, which has a better power-to-weight ratio than even the 2024 Turbo GT E Hybrid

For most markets, the range-topping Cayenne Turbo GT now comes, exclusively as a PHEV

However, this Mexico export comes from factory, without most of the emissions equipment fitted for other markets

No particulate filter (OPF) means 14 extra horsepower for this Cayenne Turbo GT

The Cayenne Turbo GT cocoons you in luxury, at speeds of over 186 mph

Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires that are specially designed for the Cayenne Turbo GT

10-piston calipers with 420 mm discs at the front and 4-piston calipers with 365 mm discs at the rear provide ample stopping power

Out on track, the big SUV has no trouble keeping up with dedicated sports cars like the 718 GT4 in front of it

The Cayenne's lateral acceleration of 1.07 G is also the best in the SUV class and surpasses more than a few sports cars

The first hybrid 911 isn't the only significant change for 2025

The base 911 Carrera gets a hefty bump in power thanks to a revised, 3.0-liter flat-six

Judging by the 992.1 Carrera, we expect the power of the base 911 to be closer to the outgoing 992.1 GTS

992.1 GTS hardware can be found in the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera

The 992.2 Carrera features revised cooling and GTS turbochargers

Judging by the 992.1 Carrera dyno pulls, power for the 2025 will be a lot more than advertised

The 992.1 Carrera actually makes around 440 horsepower - WAY more than advertised

Judging by the 2025 improvements, the 992.2 Carrera will make a lot more than the advertised 388 horsepower

Porsche is notorious for downplaying the 911 figures, explaining how its sports car punches above its weight

Swipe up for more details on the 992.2 Carrera, and what you can expect power-wie

German Magazine Sport Auto Recently Set Out To Answer A Question We Have Wondered For A While Now

Is The GT4 RS Quicker Than The Taycan Turbo GT Around The Hockenheim GP Track?

Both Of These Cars Have Their Own Strengths And Weaknesses

The Taycan Turbo GT Is Porsche's Most Powerful Road Going Car Yet

It Has The Optional Weissach Pack That Saves 157 Pounds Over The Taycan Turbo S

The GT4 RS Has A Manthey Kit Which Comes Which Comes With Several Components Designed To Improve Perfomance

The Hockenheim Track Was Home To The 2019 German Grand Prix And Covers A Distance Of 4.2 Miles

We Get To See A POV Like Experience From Within The Cockpits Of Both Cars

Test Driver Christian Gebhardt First Gets Behind The Wheel Of The Taycan And Achieves A Lap Time Of 1.46.3 Minutes

Next, It Was The GT4 RS Turn, Where He Managed The Hot Lap In 1.46.2 Minutes

It Remains To Be Seen If The Heavier Taycan Can Perform Consistently On A Longer Test Run.

Hans Mezger started and ended his career as an engine builder, at Porsche, making the most successful Porsche engines in motorsports

Most Mezger engines were air-cooled,but the Swan Song was a 4.0-liter, water-cooled M97.74

The last Mezger engine was made specifically for the most hardcore, naturally-aspirated Porsche 997 - the GT3 RS 4.0

At 2,998 lbs, the Porche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 was a lightweight as the analog 996 GT3 RS, but with more power

The last Mezger engine produced 493 hp at 8,250 RPM and 339 lb-ft at 5,750 RPM

997 GT3 RS 4.0 is also the last 911 GT3 model offered exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission

Even with the aggressive aero bits, the Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 reaches a top speed of 190 mph

With a 0 to 60 mph achieved in around 4.0 seconds, the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 can shame many modern performance cars in a straight line. Even more on a track

The first Porsche 911 to feature center-lock wheels as standard

The 4.0 badge returned with the 2016 911 GT3 RS, but it didn't have a Mezger engine

Despite many innovations, the new engine did not produce more power

Hans Mezger's last creation is one considered the purest Porsche 911 GT3 of all time, making the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 one of he best investments for those who have one

Just 600 units of the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 were built between 2011 and 2012. Just 141 were originally sold in the U.S.

For 2024, range-topping Porsche Panamera Turbo put on a few extra pounds - now 5,302 - but it won't stop there

We are yet to see the range-topping Panamera Turbo 'S' E Hybrid make an appearance, which is expected to be even heavier

VAG has a history with heavyweights. The Bentley Continental GT tips the scales at 5,423 pounds

The 2024 Panamera Turbo E Hybrid packs almost as much power as the old Turbo S E Hybrid and more torque

670 hp and 685 lb-ft are enough for a 3.0-second 0-60 mph spring, but Porsche often downplays its performance figures

Porsche's innovative active suspension masks the Panamera's massive weight quite well

The 2024 Porsche Panamera Turbo E Hybrid has up to 58 miles of electric range

Some of the lesser V-6 Hybrid variants of the Panamera can provide up to 55 miles of electric range

The electric motor in the 2024 Panamera Turbo E Hybrid provides 187 hp instead of 134 in the old one

For 2024, the Panamera Turbo E Hybrid gets a bigger battery - 25.9 kWh versus 17.9 on the old Panamera

This suggests that the upcoming Panamera Turbo S E Hybrid might be even heavier. We'll have to wait and see if this is true.

Because of Federal U.S. mandates, the most hardcore, naturally aspirated 996 wasn't available to American 911 enthusiasts

The 996 GT3 RS went on an extensive diet to save weight, but a lot more was changed from the regular 996 GT3

The GT3 RS features more downforce, less weight, and completely different suspension, compared to the regular 911 GT3

The 996 generation is the last 911 GT3 RS to weigh under 3,000 pounds

With a 0 to 60 mph time of around 4.0 seconds, the 996 GT3 RS puts even modern performance cars to shame

The last analog 911 GT3 RS. No ABS, no ESC, no traction control

All Porsche 996 GT3 RS models feature unique red or blue graphics, inspired by classic 911 models like the Carrera 2.7 RS

The 3.6-liter M96 engine in the GT3 RS was, reportedly underrated at 376 hp at 7,400 RPM

Some say the Porsche 996 GT3 RS' M96.79 flat-6 engine makes closer to 400 horsepower

Even with the aggressive aero, the Porsche 996 GT3 RS is capable of 190 mph

In true tradition, power goes to the rear through a 6-speed manual transmission

Between 2003 and 2004, just 682 examples of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS were built

The average 996 GT3 RS, currently, costs about the same as a 2024 992 GT3 RS. Hardly a performance car bargain

You will have to wait until 2028 to legally import the Porsche 996 GT3 RS into the U.S.

The 2018 Porsche 935 Is A Track Only Porsche Race Car

All That Power Is Sent To The Rear Wheels Through A 7-Speed PDK Gearbox

The Cockpit Features A Fully Integrated Roll Cage And Recaro Race Bucket Seats

Also Features A CFRP Multi-Function Quick-Release Steering Wheel

This Particular 935 Is An Ultra Low Mileage Example, With Only 37 Miles On The Odo

This 935 Is Currently In Stuhr, Germany And You Have 8 More Days To Bid On It

Given Its Rarity And Significance, Expect It To Fetch Over 7 Figures.

Porsche Recently Initiated Legal Proceedings Against California-Based Singer

Singer Has Been Restomoding Classic Porsches Since 2009

One Of Their Most Significant Creations To Date Is The DLS Turbo

Porsche Sued Singer In February 2024 Over Unlicensed Use Of Porsche Branding On Singer's Models Including Their 2018 And 2024 DLS Turbo

Porche Claims Tha Singer's Models Are Completely New Cars From The Ground Up

Hence, The Singer Brand Cannot Use Porsche Logo And Other Branding On their Models

In 2012, Porsche Allowed Singer To Modify 911s, But Most Parts Had To Be Sourced From Porsche.

Porsche Reiterated Its Demand For Singer To Remove Porsche Branding From Their DLS Models, Following A Similar Request For The Singer All-Terrain Competition Study (ACS) Where Singer Complied.

This Case Is Reminiscent Of The "Purrari" Case

With its naturally-aspirated 4.0-flat-six, the 992 GT3 RS sounds great out of the box

Youtuber NM2255 | Raw Car Sounds got to compare the two exhaust systems

You might think the Porsche 992 GT3 RS soundtrack can't get any crazier, but you'd be wrong

Two very different "bundles of snakes" from Akrapovic and Dundon Motorsport enhance the 911 GT3 RS performance and engine note

You get equal gains in peak horsepower from both exhaust kits, but different engine characteristics

With nearly 550 horsepower on tap, the 992 GT3 RS can hit 186 mph instead of the official 183

Akrapovic's exhaust results in a deeper growl, similar to classic 911s. You also see bigger gains in torque

Dundon Motorsport's exhaust results in a more racecar-like soundtrack

Swipe up to learn more about how these two exhausts from reputable companies change the characteristics of the Porsche 992 GT3 RS.
