Porsche's first EV sports car will be the 983-generation 718. It's coming in 2025

Porsche is late to the EV sports car party, and unlikely competitors pave the way

Strangely enough, Porsche can take a look at what Hyundai and Toyota are doing to make EVs driver-centric

Hyundai's N e-Shift perfectly simulates an 8-speed transmission, which you can shift yourself

The system works by reducing the torque, relevant to the RPMs and selected "gear"

Toyota's system works similarly, but features a physical clutch pedal and a traditional, H-pattern shifter

Porsche will use a 3D-printed metal gearbox, instead of casting, as part of the effort to keep its first EV sports car lightweight

While no mention of a Porsche manual for EVs is mentioned, Porsche fans still crave the organic driving feel of a manual transmission

The Mission R Concept's E-Core layout attempts to replicate an ICE-powered mid-engine car, by placing the battery slightly higher, behind the driver

Luca Trazzi, a Speedster enthusiast, commissioned Porsche's Sonderwunsch program to build a custom 993 Speedster

The Speedster body style dates back to the 356 model and is characterized by an open-top design, short windshield, and lightweight construction

Porsche never officially produced a 993 Speedster due to financial constraints in the 1990s

Trazzi's 993 Speedster is based on a 1994 Carrera Cabriolet and features design elements inspired by the 993 Turbo

The car has a unique "Otto Yellow" paint job and a black leather interior with yellow and black chequered accents on the seats

The car's mechanical components are derived from the high-performance 993 Carrera RS,

It is powered by a 3.8-liter air-cooled flat-six engine with 300 horsepower. It is mated to a 6-speed manual

There are only three officially recognized 993 Speedsters: one built for Ferdinand Alexander Porsche

The second one was a request from actor, Jerry Seinfeld

The third being Trazzi's recent creation

Other individuals and companies like Gunther Werks have created a handful of 993 Speedsters

Trazzi's car highlights the growing importance of Porsche's Sonderwunsch program for customized vehicles

While the Turbo badge remains synonymous with Porsche's performance and innovation

Today, the term "Turbo" has evolved from a technical specification to a marketing tool

The 911 Turbo 50 Years is expected to arrive in U.S. dealerships in late 2024

How Does The Latest Model S Plaid Stack Up Against The Taycan Turbo GT?

While the T-Hybrid equipped 911 Carrera GTS is more techy, the regular Carrera is all the 911 you need

Even for an entry level car, the 2025 911 Carrera is quite expensive, starting at $122,000

The base 911 is quite the potent sports car, thanks to a massaged 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six pushing out 388 hp, 9 more than the outgoing Carrera

The slight increase in power makes the 2025 911 Carrera a tenth of a second quicker to 60 mph: 3.7 seconds. Top speed is rated at an astounding 183 mph

You can do some laps in a 911 Carrera. For the 2025, it gets larger brakes with six-piston brakes.

Also, the base 911 Carrera is lighter than the hybrid GTS, which means it can corner more efficiently

For the 2025 model year, Porsche updated the front bumpers and the LED lights, which now comes with Matrix LEDs as standard

You can opt for these optional HD Matrix LEDs if you'd want, for $2,530

Stepping inside, there are some major changes, including a 12.6-inch fully digital driver's display and a regular start/stop button instead of a LeMans-style knob

The Porsche Macan EV starts at $75,300, still holding the title of the most affordable Porsche

Rear-wheel steering is standard only on some Macan trims - 4 and Turbo

Porsche's rear axle steering goes hand-in-hand with Porsche's Active Suspension Management (PASM)

Porsche rear-axle steering first appeared on the 2013 Porsche 918 Spyder

But it became more prominent in Porsche models after the 991 GT3

Actually, Porsche started developing a rear-wheel steering system in the 1970s, for the Porsche 928

The Macan EV and other modern-day Porsches feature a more sophisticated setup

Porsche's rear-axle steering is electro-mechanical and only adds about 22 lbs

Depending on the speed and conditions, the rear wheels turn opposite or in the same direction as the front ones

Porsdhe's rer-axle steering can reduce a car's turning circle by 600 mm - over 23.6 inches

The first Porsche 928 resto-mod has been concieved by French company, Nardone

Over 3,000 parts have been redesigned and thoroughly scanned to make the perfect, modern-day Porsche 928

The Nardone Porsche 928 is 60 mm wider than the original car

While the Nardone 928 concept car features a fiberglass body, production cars will come with carbon-fiber

Unlike the concept car, the production Nardone Porsche 928 will also have functional vents and an integrated flash function in the lower-apron vents

Nardone has even implemented Porsche's current, 4-point LED design

The rear end now features an uninterrupted LED strip

The only original 928 parts that remain are the aluminum doors

Instead of a rear hatchback, only the rear windshield will open

The original 5.0-liter V-8 is completely revised and packs 400 hp

Nardone is working on more powerful variants and even a flat-plane V-8

The gearbox is now a 6-speed manual transaxle

Vast customization options ensure no two Nardone 928s will be the same

The first 8 cars are "Launch Edition" models and will be packed with all possible options

Swipe up for more information on how the production of Porsche 928 by Nardone differs from the concept.

Like all cars, the 911 has been getting larger and heavier with each generation

The Porsche 911 has grown from the original's 2,370 pounds to over 3,800 pounds in some variants

Porsche design boss, Michael Mauer talks about the possibility of a more compact 911

A more compact 911 is, indeed, possible, but it would, likely, be fully-electric

The 992 is already pushing the limits of packaging in terms of powertrain. E-motors are lighter and more compact

Solid-state batteries would ensure smaller and lighter battery pack without sacrificing range and performance

Porsche will not kill off the ICE-powered 911 like it doing with the 718

The two models could co-exist, but they would need to be differentiated in terms of design. Taycan-style front end on a 911 EV?

Porsche might consider a different name for the scaled-down 911 EV. Will the 912 return?

Porsche has some catching up to do on the hydrogen front, but can it have something better up its sleeve?

Porsche developed al all-new V-8 engine that runs on hydrogen

A simulation on the Nürburgring from 2022 showed that hydrogen can power engines with a high specific output

Porsche's hydrogen engine requires highly-efficient turbocharging, borrowed from motorsports

The 4.4-liter V-8 produced 590 hp while easily covering Euro 7 standards without "smog" equipment

Porsche's simulation results in 8:20:20 lap time around Nordschleife, with emissions near-identical to ambient atmosphere

FCEV, likely, won't be the way forward for Porsche since its EV models aren't selling as well as anticipated

Synthetic fuels and hybrid powertrains are Porsche's current focus

But with hydrogen production becoming more affordable, Porsche might rethink its stance on the green fuel

Swipe up for more details on where Porsche is at on hydrogen propulsion

Porsche Recently Introduced Its First-Ever Production 911 Hybrid

Porsche Claims Its All-New Hybrid 2025 911 GTS Is Untuneable

The T-Hybrid System Comprises Of An Electric Motor Integrated Into The 8-Speed PDK

The 3.6-L Flat-6 Gas Engine With The Electric Motor Has A Combined Output Of 532 HP And 449 Lb-Ft Of Torque

It Also Features An Electric Turbocharger Which Is Designed To Eliminate Turbo Lag

It Works By Sending Excess Pressure From The Turbo To Charge The Car's High Voltage Battery

This Complex Setup And The Lack Of A Wastegate Is The Reason Why The Aftermarket Will Find It Challenging To Tune This Engine

However, Porsche Is Open To The Idea Of Trying, The Brand Left Their E.C.U. Unlocked
