Porsche recently introduced its first electrified 911 with the Carrera GTS as part of the facelifted 992.2 generation Porsche 911. It comes at a time when there are only a few two-door hybrid sports cars available in the market, and one of them is the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray. Now, it is worth noting that neither of the two cars mentioned here are not plug-in hybrids and only feature very compact battery packs. This is why Porsche doesn’t refer to the new 911 Carrera GTS as an E-Hybrid (PHEVs in Porsche world) but instead calls it a T-Hybrid, which means Turbo Hybrid.

Spyshot photographers in Germany recently spotted the next-generation Porsche 911 Turbo going around the legendary Nürburgring. Porsche recently revealed a refreshed 911 (992.2), introducing the first-ever hybrid 911, the Carrera GTS, with a new 3.6L single-turbo engine. Specifications for the base Carrera and Carrera GTS were confirmed, but details on higher-performance models remain shrouded in mystery. The prototype spotted is the 992.2 Turbo, featuring the active rear spoiler instead of a traditional wing. This, combined with the camouflaged air intakes, bumpers, and rear haunches, suggests significant exterior changes are in store.

The Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo is an all-electric, high-performance five-seater wagon that combines the practicality of a family hauler with the exhilarating performance expected from a Porsche. In the Taycan Cross Turismo lineup, this Turbo model sits one below the flagship Turbo S trim.

Porsche just unveiled the 911 Hybrid, and it’s a game changer. Hybrid tech is not new to the Porsche brand. Pretty much every model within the brand’s lineup with the exception of the 911 and the Cayman/Boxster pair have previously had hybrid variants. But that changes today, with the introduction of the first ever 911 hybrid. They’re calling it the Carrera GTS, and the headline feature is the revolutionary T-Hybrid system – the first of its kind for this iconic German sports car. However, unlike most hybrids that focus on efficiency, Porsche reiterates that the new 911 hybrid puts high performance and driving dynamics, front and center.

The iconic Porsche 911 is a sports car that has a rich history that began in 1963 with the debut of the original 901 (later renamed 911 due to a trademark dispute with Peugeot). It was a revelation, setting a new standard for performance and enthusiasm. Over the decades, the 911 continued to evolve, pushing the boundaries of what a sports car can be. The 930 Turbo, introduced in 1975, brought turbocharging to the masses, and the 964 generation, launched in 1989, modernized the 911 with all-wheel drive and a more refined design. The 993 generation, which followed in 1993, was the final air-cooled flat-six engine-powered 911.

Audi’s S3 serves as the perfect middle ground between the everyday A3 and the wild, track-focused RS3. While the S3 was sold in Europe since 1999, U.S. consumers got their hands on it for the first time in 2015. Fast forward to 2025, and we have the facelifted S3 sedan still belonging to the fourth-generation A3.

With the ever-popular midsize SUV segment booming with impressive all-electric vehicles, it was time Audi took the challenge seriously. The Q4 e-tron is just not there yet to get recommendations from EV experts, and the Q8 e-tron is just too expensive, without the wow factor you’d expect from a flagship EV. So, this is where the newly launched Q6 e-tron steps in.

Most of us car guys have a love-hate relationship with EVs. While the impressive acceleration is undeniable, they often fall short of delivering the exhilarating driving dynamics synonymous with traditional sports cars. Meanwhile, some prioritize luxury and extended range instead. Porsche, renowned for crafting exceptional sports cars, embraces the electric revolution, focusing on delivering driving pleasure alongside environmental sustainability, and this commitment was clearly demonstrated with the launch of the Taycan in 2019.
