Porsche Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid GT Package: Running Shoes For Porsche's Heavy Hybrid SUV

As the new range-topping Cayenne is slower than the outgoing model, can the GT Package infuse much-needed athleticism?

About 20 years ago, Porsche raised a few eyebrows by introducing its first SUV – the Cayenne. This exercise paid off big time since this high-riding Porsche is widely viewed as the model responsible for saving the German automaker from bankruptcy. Fast-forward to 2024 and the two best-selling Porsche models are still SUVs, i.e. the Cayenne and its smaller sibling, the Macan. The Cayenne was recently updated, but its range-topping Turbo E Hybrid model seems a bit puzzling to me.

Billionaire's Ride Can Now Be Yours: 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet Modified By RUF

Featuring bespoke touches and performance enhancements, here's why this stealthy 997.1 Cab is worth the premium

For many, the 997-generation 911 is the last old-school Porsche. Essentially, an evolution of the controversial 996, the 997 (eventually) fixed all of the 996’s problems while exploiting the chassis to its full potential. It is the 997 generation that spawned some of the most iconic Porsche 911 variants. While the example featured here is one of the more mainstream versions of the rear-engine sports car, it has been tastefully modified. Now I know that adding forced induction to a naturally aspirated Carrera is not that uncommon, and many owners are opting for it, especially with tuners like RUF offering specially developed kits that enhance performance.

Breaking The Rules: 4 Controversial Porsche 911 Engine Swaps That, Actually Work

Blasphemous to purists at first glance, these 911 engine swaps have some sound logic behind them

Only one car can give you the feel of a Porsche 911 and that’s a 911. Altering any aspect of this iconic sports car can dramatically change the driving experience, but that hasn’t stopped people from taking out the boxer engine and replacing it with something that at first glance, doesn’t belong there. The rear-engine Porsche sports car is considered one of the most refined and usable high-performance cars, that you can daily-drive. At least, in most of its iterations. Despite much praise, however, the 911 is not a perfect car, and certain generations are known to suffer from a few major issues.

2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Vs. 2025 Lotus Emeya - image 193418

2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Vs. 2025 Lotus Emeya

Lotus is seemingly out of its element with an all-electric sedan, but has the British company inadvertently created a Taycan killer?

Porsche’s Taycan is one of the most hyped-up and popular performance EVs on sale today. By Q4 of 2023, Porsche had sold 136,000 Taycans cumulatively. The EV sedan bumped Porsche sports car sales by 3.3 percent, despite the German brand’s overall sales having dropped by 12 percent compared to 2022. While the electric vehicle market is currently experiencing a slowdown, it hasn’t stopped other manufacturers from entering the performance EV segment with their own offerings. Take for instance Lotus, a brand typically known for its lightweight sports cars. Still, now the British carmaker is giving us the Emeya – a large, EV performance sedan that wants to steal potential buyers, from the likes of the Taycan and Tesla Model S.

Here's Why This Replica Porsche 911 GT3 RS Would Give Purists A Heart Attack - image 193397

Here's Why This Replica Porsche 911 GT3 RS Would Give Purists A Heart Attack

While this is technically still a Porsche, its whats under the skin of this pretend-991 GT3 RS that may be bothersome

Many consider the Porsche 911 to be the ultimate sports car, fit for daily use. While this may be a bit of a stretch when talking about the track-focused GT3 RS, the rear-engine sports car generally remains an aspirational model. In fact, despite the 991 being the first 911 to feature electric steering instead of a hydraulic unit (a feature many purists despise), it is still considered the last truly compact 911. For this reason, those who have driven a 992 GT3 RS after the previous iteration go back to the older model. One person, however, has done something that no one has ever done. Instead of buying a 991 GT3 RS, a guy over in England, decided to build one himself. Normally, Tesla-swapping a 991 GT3 RS would send purists into a spiraling rage, but there is a good reason why this particular car has received the electric powertrain. What you’re looking at here is actually a replica of a 991 GT3 RS, but more surprising is what the car started out as.

Could Porsche's Six-Stroke Engine Patent Extend The Life Of Internal Combustion Engines? - image 187757

Could Porsche's Six-Stroke Engine Patent Extend The Life Of Internal Combustion Engines?

The German automaker's latest patent filings showcase two more strokes over a conventional 4-stroke engine, and here are some of the potential benefits and drawbacks of the technology

Porsche is a brand that doesn’t shy away from resorting to unconventional methods and innovative ways to improve performance. The company’s recent patent filings prove the German automaker’s dedication to keeping the internal combustion engine alive for as long as possible. Most conventional powerplants that rely on internal combustion have four strokes – intake, compression, power, and exhaust. However, according to Porsche engineers, the combustion engine can do with two extra strokes. This development is, as stated in the U.S. patent filings, a result of "continuously increasing requirements to increase energy efficiency and other operational aspects of modern combustion machines". The patents do not clarify whether this technology is for boxer engines or for conventional inline or V-engines, but it is safe to say Porsche’s newly developed combustion method is applicable to all existing configurations of the piston engine. But what does all this added complexity amount to? Here’s how this engine technology works and what it means for the company’s future models.

The Real Reason Why Porsche Took So Long To Give Us A Four-Door Sedan - image 185462

The Real Reason Why Porsche Took So Long To Give Us A Four-Door Sedan

Long before the four-door Panamera debuted in 2009, Porsche almost gave us the 989 and its destiny was tied to another model

Despite Porsche making one of the most iconic sports cars of all time – the 911 – the German automaker was in financial trouble for much of its existence. It was only after the 986 Boxster and the Cayenne SUV in 2003, that Porsche managed to stave off the threat of bankruptcy. Of course, the acquisition by Volkswagen helped, and because Porsche’s lineup is a lot more diverse, for better or worse. Four-door models like the Taycan and Panamera are selling well, despite the Panamera’s recent sales drop by 25 percent.

Is A Porsche 912 On The Horizon? - image 188517

Is A Porsche 912 On The Horizon?

Porsche is planning a couple of new models in the coming years and here's where a revived 912 could fit into the lineup

Despite its work on e-fuels, Porsche is firmly stepping into the electrification game. The German carmaker is best known for its 911 sports car, which for 2025 became a hybrid. Porsche is adamant that the iconic, rear-engine model will be the last to go fully electric. Meanwhile, models like the Macan and Cayenne are getting a full range of fully electric variants, with the 718 joining the EV bandwagon, in 2025. There is an obvious trend in the automotive industry, where with each new generation, the cars become bigger, heavier, and more burdened with tech.

The Story Behind Porsche's Obsession With Turbos

Porsche and turbocharging are two inseparable pieces of an epic formula for performance, and while it began with motorsports, find out how it has evolved over the decades and where it's headed next

Porche is one of the leading sports car manufacturers and an aspirational brand for many a car enthusiast. While Porsche emphasizes athleticism and performance across its entire lineup, it’s the German marque’s sports cars that best embody Porsche’s heritage and motorsport prowess. The "Turbo” moniker has become synonymous with the most capable Porsche models, especially when it comes to the 911. Porsche’s obsession with turbocharging comes from motorsports. Competition is a great thing that invites progress, often, through unconventional means.

The Real Reason Why The Porsche 718 Never Got A Turbo Variant - image 193106

The Real Reason Why The Porsche 718 Never Got A Turbo Variant

While a Turbo badged gas-powered variant of Porsche's entry-level sports car never happened, find out if it could become a possibility on future iterations

Like several other automakers, Porsche has a notable hierarchy in its model lineup. Sadly, this means that some platforms will never achieve their full potential unless independent specialists work their magic on them. Such is the case with Porsche’s entry-level performance model – the Cayman/Boxster. The fixed-head, coupe version of the Porsche Boxster is sometimes regarded as the brand’s best sports car. This is due to the mid-engine layout, which is considered superior to the 911’s rear-engine setup. That said, tradition dictates that the 911 remains the top dog in the Porsche lineup. While even the more mainstream Porsche models like the Cayenne and Panamera, feature a Turbo variant, the 718 range tops out with the GT4 RS, and the Spyder RS. So, why is it that Porsche in all its wisdom and rich motorsport heritage, decided to forgo an opportunity to create a Turbo 718? Let’s find out.

The Pros And Cons Of Buying A Used Porsche Boxster/Cayman (987) - image 193028

The Pros And Cons Of Buying A Used Porsche Boxster/Cayman (987)

While the Type 987 is a desired sports car on the used market, there are a few things to note before jumping into one

Porsche’s Boxster/ Cayman models are, often, regarded as the budget-friendly alternative to the 911. It used to be the one you get when you can’t or don’t want to spend 911 money. This isn’t necessarily the case anymore since the Cayman/ Boxster models have their fair share of high-performance versions that borrow tech straight from the 911. The 987-generation of the mid-engine Porsche (2004-2010) is particularly sought-after on the used market, and there are a couple of reasons for that.

Russel Built Fab Porsche 911 Baja: When The 911 Dakar Isn't Extreme Enough For You

Sporting some pretty extreme mods, find out what makes this beefed-up 964 Baja raider, a potent go-anywhere Porsche 911

People just love doing stuff on the Porsche 911 platform. It seems every day, a new, reimagined version of the rear-engine sports car pops up, and nine times out of 10, they’re mostly good. The 911 lineup is the most versatile of any sports car ever produced, and there is a variant for every need. With the platform being as versatile as it is, you would think Porsche themselves would be giving you the craziest iterations of the 911, but no. Another neat example of a heavily modified 911 comes from a California-based Russel Built Fabrication. The company started out in the 2000s, by maintaining movie prop cars, but eventually evolved into a fully-fledged custom shop. Russel Built Fab’s latest and most ambitious project is the Porsche 911 Baja, which takes an already-capable platform and gives it the ability to jump over sand dunes at seriously impressive speeds. While this is not the company’s first off-road 911 build, it is, by far, the most extreme that I have ever seen. Here’s what makes it tick.
