For those of us who appreciate both engineering excellence and absolute luxury, the Black Badge Spectre makes a compelling case as the perfect stable mate to your GT car collection. A Porsche for the spirited weekend drive, and the Spectre for making an unforgettable entrance Monday morning—that might just be the perfect garage indeed. The new Vapour Violet finish is eerily reminiscent of the Purple Ultraviolet seen on the 911 GT3 RS—a nod that won’t go unnoticed by those of us who appreciate Stuttgart’s boldest color options. At 6,500 pounds, the Black Badge Spectre has no business hitting 60 mph in 4.1 seconds—but it does so while your 911 Turbo S won’t be collecting dust anytime soon, this electric behemoth deserves respect.

There is always an alternative when it comes to Porsche SUV, thanks to its parent company Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG). While Porsche products are always offering superior and complex technical solution, all Audi SUV’s are based on the same platform as Porsche and often a better value for money. The SQ5 is a very appealing alternative to the Macan, and now that Audi is offering a sportback body style as well, the Q5 is also looking sportier than ever while offering performance matching with the mid-range Macan offering.

Aston Martin is not wasting any time banking on the Valkyrie legend, bringing yet another F1 inspired supercar but this time something you can drive on the road without feeling too out of place. Porsche has left a vaccum in the supercar landscape by not releasing any supercar in 10+ years, most likely trying to catch up with EV technology for its main lineup. In the meantime Aston-Martin is ideally placed to offer a something super special that is not coming Italy. Unfortunatly the British design flair is not really present on that one, looks more like a road-legal Valkyrie. May be because this time James Bond skipped a generation? The car looks more like a McLaren than an Aston Martin but supercars always look cool so enjoy the gallery and ignore the price.

Cadillac is trying to spruce up is Lyriq EV with a V-trim. Will it be enough to boost the poor sales of the Cadillac electric hearse? We don’t think so, the car look is a tough sale for most and would be a strech for Porsche buyers but who knows may be the V trim can help some jump ship into this latest faster offering from Cadillac. We heard lease deals are hard to beat in this spring 2025...

BMW is finally offering a wagon M3...in Europe and we can keep dreaming about that beautiful alternative to the macan turbo. The pricing woudl be on par with the Macan Turbo for US buyers. Considering how popular the Macan is in the USA, it is a great thing for Porsche that BMW decided to skip that one. The M3 touring is all over the internet since its introduction and has already reached cult status. With the CS trim the M3 become more track ready and ridiculously pointless than before and that is what we love about it. Now let’s see if BMW brings it to the US soon. I don’t see a future where BMW decides NOT to bring it in the US, so if you are on the fence for a Macan Turbo you may want to wait until summer for the happy news... In the meantime enjoy the M3 touring gallery, it is a thing of beauty.

Remember the Sterling Moss windhshield-less concept of the Mercedes SLR? Ok so Mercedes did it again. It is a recurring limited edition theme for them considering their glory days in the 60’s when they were winning races on a regular basis. The good old days are behind them but the spirit lives on. If you are a lucky VIP that will be the car to show off in Monaco this summer. If not you can always go for a Porsche GT of 918 Spyder and it should cost you about the same.

The Porsche GT3RS is getting some competition from Ford with the Mustang GTD. Not exactly the same type of car but the spirit is there, a superfast version of the american icon. So far we don’t expect the Mustang GTD to come in a street legal version but considering how well the GTD sold, it would not be surprising to have Ford executive thinking about offering it as a road legal spec. For now just enjoy the beauty shots on the track, and Porsche beware, Ford is thinking about eating the GT3 market very soon.

If you are shopping for a Porsche 911, you have to also look at the Aston-Martin Vantage. Of course its resaele value will be terrible and it is usualy a rebranded glorified Jaguar coupe but you have to give it to the Brits, the Vantage always looks like a million bucks when it comes out. I can’t recall any Vantage release where I was not thinking ’oh boy’ this is a looker. For 2026 the Roadster aka convertible in german terms receives some minor updates. Enjoy the superb photo gallery!

The Carrera, Porsche’s entry-level model in the iconic 911 lineup since its introduction in 1964, offers a thrilling driving experience that combines performance, luxury, and everyday usability. This rear-wheel-drive, two-door coupe seats up to four and embodies the 911’s legacy as a true driver’s car.

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS marks a significant evolution in the iconic sports car’s lineage. As part of the 992.2 generation refresh, this model introduces the first-ever hybrid powertrain in a production 911. The new T-Hybrid system pairs an all-new 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six with a 48 volt electric turbocharger and a transmission-mounted motor to put out 532 horsepower and 449 pound-feet. This delivers 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 194 mph. While the hybrid powertrain improves performance and efficiency, it also adds 110 pounds to the car’s weight and increases complexity. Porsche axed the seven-speed manual transmission option, so the combo of hybrid engine and loss of manual transmission will disappoint purists.

The 2024 Porsche Cayenne S arrives with a host of exciting updates that solidify its position as a top contender in the luxury performance SUV segment. It’s now propelled by a potent 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, replacing the previous 2.9-liter V6. This powerplant delivers an impressive 468 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, propelling the Cayenne S from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds when equipped with the Sport Chrono Package.

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet marks the beginning of the 992.2 generation and issues subtle yet meaningful updates to the iconic sports car. While this rear-wheel drive convertible is powered by the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer-six mill, Porsche enhanced it with an intercooler from the Turbo model and upgraded turbochargers from the outgoing GTS model. The result is 388 horsepower, nine horsepower more than the outgoing model.

Porsche’s third-generation Boxster arrived for the 2013 model year, sporting a sleeker design, a longer wheelbase, and a new 2.7-liter boxer-six engine. This 981-generation model replaced the outgoing 987, improving the brand’s entry-level roadster. With 265 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque on tap, the Boxster sprinted to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds with the seven-speed PDK and Sport Chrono Package while returning up to 32 mpg on the highway.
