The 2025 update for the Porsche 911 Carrera doesn't stop with the engine

It also includes revisions to the suspension, brakes, exterior, and interior

The 992.2 Carrera doesn't feature the T-Hybrid powertrain, but gets bigger turbochargers from the 992.1 GTS

The 992.2 Carrera and GTS also get revised dampers that react more quickly and feature a softer setting at the front

The 992.2 Carrera gets bigger brakes than the 992.1 Carrera S

The GTS turbochargers work at a lower boost setting in the 992.2 Carrera, resulting in only 9 hp more than the 992.1 Carrera

Despite peak torque still being rated at 332 lb-ft, the 992.2 Carrera should provide better mid-range punch, ideal for city driving

Exterior revisions are subtle and most prominent in the front apron of the 992.2

992.2 Carrera dyno tests might reveal a pleasant surprise as the previous, 992.1 Carrera was severely underrated from the factory

For 2025, the 911 Carrera gets new LED HD Matrix headlights

In the cabin, the 992.2 Carrera gets a fully-digital gauge cluster that's highly-customizable

The physical key is replaced by a Start-Stop button, but keeps the same location, as inherited by Le Mans race cars

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera starts at $122,095. Swipe up to read more.

Porsche recently unveiled its first-ever production hybrid 911, the 992.2 GTS

The performance difference between the new 2025 992.2 911 Carrera GTS and the older 992.1 911 Turbo isn't significant

The 992.2 911 Carrera GTS debuts the T-Hybrid system, incorporating a new 3.6-liter mono-turbo flat-six and an e-motor in the 8-speed PDK

As a result, the hybrid powertrain pushes out 532 horsepower and 449 pound-feet of torque

0-60 mph comes at 2.9 seconds and top speed is limited to 194 mph

The 992.1 911 Turbo uses the good ol' pure ICE power, thanks to a twin-turbo 3.7-liter flat-six. It churns out 572 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque

Being more potent, it's quicker to 60 mph; it takes only 2.7 seconds. Top speed is rated at 199 mph

As for driving dynamics, the new 911 Carrera GTS Hybrid isn't any slouch, and its e-turbo makes sure you're always on boost

The 911 Turbo, on the other hand, feels laggy in the lower revs, even with two turbos

The 2025 911 Carrera GTS isn't available readily and you may have to wait for a while depending on the backlog of orders

On the other hand, the 992.1 911 Turbo could be readily available at your nearest Porsche dealership

Swapping in a V-8 in a Porsche 911 is a sacrilege, according to purists, but there are some obvious advantages when doing it on a 997 Carrera/ Carrera S

Many Porsche flat-6 engines are experiencing bore scoring and IMS failure - both expensive to fix problems, warranting an engine rebuild at $30,000

An LS3 crate motor from GM solves those issues and adds performance, and CPE has the most comprehensive kit for the purpose

CPE's LS V-8 engine swap for the Porsche 911 is an easy conversion, and costs much less than rebuilding the stock engine at a Porsche dealer

CPE's V-8 conversion includes a proprietary, single-mass flywheel

The stock Porsche 997 Carrera S made 350 hp and 295 lb-ft on the crankshaft

The new V-8 engine packs 495 hp and over 420 lb-ft

Less weight: despite almost twice the displacement, the GM V-8 engine is over 40 lbs lighter than the boxer engine

This particular Porsche, owned by "Street Bandito" also gets carbon fiber bits that would shave even more weight

Bugatti's Tourbillon is the spicy replacement to the long-serving Chiron hypercar. It's the first hybridized Bugatti

The Rimac Nevera is Mate Rimac's firstborn, at least in the car world. It's an all-electric hypercar

The Tourbillon has the classic Bugatti silhouette with the horse-shoe grille, Chiron-like headlights, dihedral doors

The rear end is inspired from the Bugatti La Voiture Noire

The Nevera is unlike anything you've seen. Its design is brand new and it looks sportier than the Tourbillon.

However, from some angles, it could remind you of a McLaren 570S

The Tourbillon, like its predecessors, it oozing luxury inside, but the clock-inspired instrumentation steals the show

The Nevera's cabin is beautiful and luxurious as well, but not quite as otherworldly as the Bugatti.

There are a trio of displays inside, including one for the passenger

Bugatti's latest and greatest hypercar features an 8.3-liter nat-asp V16 with three e-motors

Together they churn out 1,775 hp and 1,691 lb-ft of torque

The Nevera is an all-electric hypercar featuring four electric motors, each on the wheels

The total power produced ia 1,813 hp and 1,741 lb-ft of torque

California-based Signer Vehicle Design has been building resto-mod Porsches for over a decade

Singer chose the Porsche 964 as the base car for all its projects as it perfectly bridges the classic and modern traits of air-cooled 911s

Singer's first car is an epic remake of the original Porsche 911, from 1964

Singer's obsession with making the perfect classic 911 has resulted in the most exquisite automotive art. So far, Singer has produced 4 models in limited quantities

All Singer cars' powertrain are based on Mezger's last air-cooled engine

The Singer DLS - "Dynamic Lightweight Study" builds upon Singer's first model - the Classic.

The engine in the Singer DLS is an upgraded variant of the Singer Classic's 3.8-liter, air-cooled flat six

The naturally-aspirated boxer engine in the Singer DLS makes 503 hp instead of the Singer Classic's 350, making it the most powerful air-cooled Singer

At just 2,180 lbs, the 503-hp Singer DLS boasts a better power-to-weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron

Singer's third car is a remake to the original 930 Turbo, which was dubbed the Widowmaker

The 3.8-liter flat-six is still air-cooled, but now features twin-turbochargers

Singer Turbo features electric wastegates to reduce turbo lag, which was a known feature on the original 930

Singer made two variants of the Turbo - one with 450 hp and a sportier,510-hp variant

Singer's most radical model aims to reimagine the 934/935 Porsche race car from the 1970s

All Singers, including the Turbo DLS, feature carbon-fiber bodies, designed from scratch to the smallest detail

The 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six in the Singer Turbo DLS makes 700 hp

The Singer DLS Turbo features water-cooled cylinder heads, similar to the Porsche 959

Porsche entered the SUV market in 2002 with the Cayenne, and it has become one of the German brand's best sellers

The original Cayenne offered multiple powertrains, including a base V6, a naturally aspirated V8, and a twin-turbo V8

So, if you're in the market for a used Cayenne, you need to keep a few things in mind before you make your purchase

The Gen-1 Cayenne is around two decades old, and its design and technology are now ancient

In order to keep things fresh and updated, you can consider some performance, visual, and some inexpensive tech upgrades

Yes, the Cayenne's interior is very early 21st century, but you can swap out the stock head unit for a modern one that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

If your Cayenne came with H7 Halogen bulbs, you can swap them out for plug-and-play LED bulbs

Mechanically, you need to check on things that are prone to wear and tear

Suspension bushing, control arms, shock absorbers, and brake rotors should be swapped for new units, if you want the optimum performance

You can fit in a cold air intake which will help keep the engine temps optimal. Just make sure you run by a mechanic to check for unusual engine noises

Swipe up to get an estimate of how much these upgrades cost.

Besides Porsche, Subaru is one of the few automakers to embrace boxer engines, and this is the EG33 flat-six mill

It was based on the EJ-series flat-4 engines and is popular as an inexpensive option for Porsche engine swaps

The EG33 engine features thick cylinder walls, and has a sound profile that's similar to Porsche's air-cooled flat-six

Unfortunately, the EG33 engine was mated to a slow and unreliable, 4-speed automatic

Luckily, manual conversions are available and easy to perform

The EG33 was only used in the 1991-1996 Subaru Alcyone SVX coupe

Italian connection: The Subaru SVX was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign

The McLaren F1-esque side windows were more of a "form-over-function" design element

All Subaru SVXs feature a two-tone exterior from the factory

Despite the canopy-inspired roof, the sunroof does not feature a glass

Similar to a Porsche 993, the Subaru SVX featured a lightbar connecting the taillights

With a drag coefficient of 0.29, the wedge-shaped Subaru coupe could make the most of the flat-six's 220-250 hp, and reach a top speed of 154 mph

Subaru SVX was meant to be a grand tourer, and featured lots of Alcantara inside the cabin

There was almost a shooting brake model, dubbed the Amadeus, based on the SVX and using the same flat-six engine

The Porsche 911 is probably a driving enthusiast's dream car. While being potent, it can also be a rather practical vehicle considering its class

While the frunk of the 911 is deeper than most rear-engined cars, it is mostly occupied by factory accessories and equipment that come with the car

The best way to manage the frunk is to make a partition, a false floor, and separate the emergency kits, and tools from the rest of the cargo area

YouTube channel Fickst It! has found a solution to this D.I.Y. project

Before watching the video, you need to get some cardboard, a spray adhesive, and a black floor mat

First, you need to fit in cardboard and align it to fit the contour's of the frunk

Next, you have to cut a particle board in the shape of the cardboard and place it in the trunk to check for measurements

Following this, you need to wrap the particle board with the black carpet and stick it with the spray adhesive

Once done, you stash the lower compartment with the essential kits and tools, then insert the board over them

With the false floor in place, you've essentially, increased the usability of the amount of space available to you in the frunk.

Clean slate: Porsche designed an all-new 3.6-liter flat-six engine for its first hybrid 911, internally dubbed the 9A3

Without the e-motor, the new flat-6 makes 478 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, most of which available from 1,500 RPM

Debuting on the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS, it weighs just 77 lbs more than the non-hybrid 4 GTS

The new model boasts a superior power-to-weight ratio of 334.8 hp/ton

Packaged like a mild-hybrid, the T-Hybrid system works more like a full-hybrid powertrain, but lacks electric-only range

The T-Hybrid's 1.9 kWh battery pack weighs under 60 lbs and is located at the front for better weight distribution

According to Porsche, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS T-Hybrid sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds or less

All accessories on the 9A3 engine are electrically driven instead of belt-driven, making the engine sit 110 mm lower than the old 3.0-liter

The T-Hybrid's system output is 534 hp and 450 lb-ft, which helped the 2025 Carrera 4 GTS to lap "Green hell" faster than the 992.1 Turbo S

Additionally, the turbocharger's e-motor can also charge the battery or temporarily over-boost" the PDK-integrated e-motor

Porsche is expected to release a more powerful T-Hybrid powertrain for the upcoming, 992.2 Turbo S

The outcome of the upcoming U.S. election could impact global trade, including auto imports

German brands like Porsche rely solely on imports and could be badly hit if tariffs are imposed

Higher prices could make Porsches even more exclusive but hurt accessibility

While New car sales might fall, the used Porsche market could boom in the short term

Whereas tariffs are a hypothetical threat, these strategies could potentially help Porsche offset those risks

Porsche should consider building popular models like the Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera in existing VW factories in the U.S.

This would help Porsche leverage existing infrastructure and expertise within the VW Group

U.S.-built Porsches could be more affordable due to lower production costs

Alternatively, Porsche could also explore CKD (Completely Knocked Down) production in the U.S.

Also, with E.V. tax credits, manufacturing the Taycan in America could make it more attractive to buyers

Porsche might need to take a margin hit to keep U.S. prices competitive

Ultimately, Porsche will need to revamp marketing to focus on heritage and exclusivity to maintain a loyal customer base.
