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 2025 911 Carrera GTS debuts Porsche's new T-Hybrid system, coupling a new 3.6-liter flat-six with an e-turbo and an additional e-motor in the PDK for added boost.

The result is 532 horses and 449 lb-ft of torque, a generous 59 hp and 29 lb-ft boost over the outgoing 992.1 911 GTS

Instead of two turbos, Porsche added just one big turbocharger with a dinky e-motor inside it

This e-motor cuts turbo lag and delivers instant power delivery similar to a nat-asp engine

But that's not it. There's another e-motor, a more powerful one, between the 8-speed PDK and the flat-six. It puts down 54 hp and draws power from a 1.9 kWh battery pack

While the whole T-Hybrid system with the e-turbo sounds cool, there are concerns about complications and unreliability in the longer run

For the time being, this unusual mild hybrid tech is limited to the high-end 911 models only

But in the future, we could witness it passing down to the other pure ICE models of the Panamera and the Cayenne

Sadly, the upcoming 718 Cayman/Boxster successor isn't getting this unique hybrid technology since it's going the EV route

If Porsche chooses to incorporate the e-turbo technology into the Panamera and the Cayenne, it has to make some changes in the engine bay to fit the e-turbo

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?

Renowned Porsche specialist and racing team, 901shop built this faithful homage to the 1973 RSR

The original 911 RSR dates back to 1973. Of the 1,508 built, just 55 were RSR 2.8 race cars

This Porsche 911 Carrera RSR replica is built upon a 1970 model and has everything needed for Group 5 racing

The car comes with a freshly rebuilt engine and transmission, done by renowned Porsche gurus

Like the original RSR, this one comes with a 3.0-liter, air-cooled flat-6

The Porsche 911 Carrera RSR engine dates back to one of Hans Mezger's original engine designs

With 310 horsepower on tap, the 911 RSR can hit 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, on to a top speed of 168 mph

The 911 RSR replica is fully race-ready and comes with many additional features, including a duck tail bill, in addition to the Whale tail

Like Porsche's early 911 race cars, this one is based on the regular 911, not the 2.7 Carrera RS

Race-ready RSR tribute cars like this one are over 10 times more affordable than an original 911 Carrera RSR

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

We envision a cross between the Taycan and Cayenne models to be a Porsche van

VW, currently, has the I.D. Buzz, but it is too small to serve as a base for a Porsche van

The Taycan's J1 platform would be the perfect candidate to underpin a Porsche van

Taycan front fascia hints at the Porsche van being fully-electric

Cayenne design traits neatly fit the rear-end design of the hypothetical Porsche van

A more aggressively-styled design hints at a high-performance Porsche van

Mercedes did something similar with the R-Class, but it wasn't a sales hit

This is not the first time that Porsche has made a vam. In the 1980s, Porsche modified a VW T3 Bus, that featured a 911 flat-six

The VW I.D Buzz is only one reason why a Porsche van would, likely, never happen now

Porsche recently introduced the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach package with a focus on extreme performance

The no cost Weissach package is an option that transforms the Turbo GT into a track-focused machine

The most striking feature of the Weissach package is the removal of rear seats

It helps with reduction on this 4-door all-electric sports sedan

Things stay the same up front, but the rear seat delete saves 137 pounds compared to the Taycan Turbo

The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 was another car that featured such a setup

It was available with an optional two-seat-only track pack

Additionally, the Taycan Turbo GT also features optimized aerodynamics with a fixed rear wing

Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires, stiffer suspension and chassis tuning enhance handling and performance

The weight savings and track-focused upgrades helped the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach to achieve a record-breaking Nürburgring time of 7:07.551

The Taycan Turbo GT Weissach competes with the Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air Sapphire

While the Tesla offers a more affordable high-performance E.V., the Lucid and Porsche focus on luxury and driving dynamics

With its two-seat setup, the Weissach package on the Taycan Turbo GT prioritizes track performance over practicality

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

The Porsche 997.1 is the quintessential 911 Turbo as it perfectly blends classic and modern

997 is the last generation 911 Turbo to be offered with a manual transmission

The 997.2 adopted the PDK automatic, which replaced the outdated Tiptronic

From 2009, only the regular 997 Turbo was available with a stick. Turbo S became a PDK-only model

The 997.1 is the last 911 Turbo to be powered by a 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine that made 475 horsepower

The highlight of this powerplant and a 911-first was the variable-geometry Turbos

This enabled a much-power band for the 997.1 Turbo

The 997 Turbo manual transmission featured longer gear ratios than the 997 Carrera, despite the same 3.44:1 differential ratio

Even with the manual transmission, 0-60 mph happened in around 3.5 seconds

997 is the last 911 to feature hydraulic steering - another beloved feature of classic 911s

It was also the first Porsche 911 to offer Sport Chrono Package

Visually, the 997 also brought back the classic, round 911 headlights, ditching the fried-egg units of the 996

You get the iconic side-air intakes that are now synonymous with 911 Turbo models

The combination of Mezger engine and manual transmission makes the 997.1 Turbo highly-desirable

It is incredibly good at retaining value

Some examples go for more than the original MSRP, even after 15 years

The 718 Cayman GT4 RS is the most track-focused variant of Porsche's mid-engine sports car

It is also the only Porsche 718 to share an engine with the 911

The 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-6 comes from the Porsche 992 GT3 and revs to 9,000 RPM while making 493 hp and 331 lb-ft

The Cayman GT4 RS features numerous chassis upgrades, including the entire front-body section of a 991 Carrera 4

One unique feature of the GT RS is the dual air intake. Standard Cayman 718s feature only lower air vents

Together with the carbon-fiber air-box, directly behind the driver, the air intakes make for an epic soundtrack

With the Weisach package, the Cayman GT4 RS gets more pronounced air intakes. In theory, slightly more horsepower too

Porsche says the Cayan GT4 RS makes 10 fewer ponies than the 911 GT3 thanks to a longer exhaust tract

But it still manages a 3.2-second 0-60 mph time, on its way to a top speed of 196 mph

This is thanks to revised aerodynamics and more extensive use of carbon fiber, keeping weight at 3,227 lbs
