The 2021 Porsche 911 Targa 4S returns after a one-year hiatus, marking the arrival of Stuttgart’s honed 911 Targa series’ 992 generation. As expected from the new generation, it gets a more powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer-six setup, generating 443 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of twist. A new eight-speed PDK automatic replaces the dated seven-speed PDK, but enthusiasts still get the seven-speed manual transmission.

The 2021 911 Turbo Cabriolet mixes exhilarating performance with open-top luxury, continuing Porsche’s legacy of high-performance convertibles. This latest iteration gets a more powerful 572-horsepower 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine and a new eight-speed PDK transmission for the 992 generation. The result is 0-60 mph in a mere 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 199 mph, placing it in the supercar territory.

The 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS is a high-performance sports car that bridges the gap between the Carrera S and the top-of-the-line Turbo models. It combines the iconic 911 design with cutting-edge technology and exhilarating driving dynamics. The 2022 model is part of the 992-generation 911 lineup (the 992-generation represents the eighth iteration of the iconic sports car), which was introduced in 2019.

The 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet is the latest iteration of the iconic German sports car, now with even more power and refinement. This open-top version of the 992-generation Turbo S boasts a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine that churns out an impressive 640 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, significantly increasing over its predecessor. With this extra muscle, the latest model rockets from 0-60 mph in just 2.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 205 mph.

Porsche took a calculated risk with the Macan, launching it for the 2015 model year to answer the booming trend of compact luxury SUVs. Following the success of the larger Cayenne, this smaller sibling quickly became the brand’s bestseller. For 2017, a new base trim with a 2.0-liter turbo-four from the Audi Q5 joined the lineup, offering 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. This entry-level variant sprinted to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, providing brisk performance for daily driving duties.

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.

The Turbo S is the flagship model of the iconic 911 sports car range. The rear-engine, all-wheel drive coupe (or convertible) seats four and delivers stunning performance. Introduced for the 2021 model year, the 992-generation 911 Turbo S replaces the previous 991.2 version.

The Audi R8 is a two-seater, mid-engine sports car that continues turning heads since its initial debut in 2006. Now in its second generation, launched in 2015, the R8 shares its platform and engine with the Lamborghini Huracán. Available exclusively with the V10 engine, it’s now capable of producing up to 612 horsepower.

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.

Being the second mass-produced fully electrified Mercedes, the EQE balances excellent luxury with a price point that’s just in line with its competitors. However, the dynamics change totally when you invite the AMG EQE 53 to the game. With a $106,900 price tag, the EQE 53 brings supercar-level performance. Up to 677 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque are provided by the dual electric motors, with the 90.6 kWh battery pack giving an average of 225 miles of EPA-rated range.

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.

Porsches are special, whether the rear-engined 911, the mid-engined 718, or the front-engined big and bulky Cayenne. However, neither sports car is the best seller in Porsche’s lineup. Why? Well, not everyone is a hardcore motoring enthusiast who intends to tear up the drag strip or aspires to be a GT3 driver in their new purchase, and that’s where the Cayenne wins the popularity vote.
