The 718 EV was slated for a late 2025 launch, but is now facing a few road blocks

The 718 EV will be delayed for different reasons than the Macan EV, but reliability may still be a concern

Porsche's Swedish battery supplier Northvolt, recently filed for bankruptcy, delaying the 718 EV's production

With the gas-powered 718 having already been discontinued in some markets, a gap in the Porsche lineup may form

But before we get the all-electric variant, Porsche has to update the current 718 one last time to comply with new cyber security regulations

The Macan EV was also delayed, but due to software issues

For this reason, Porsche extended production of the ICE-powered Macan, which will be on the market till 2026

However, Macan EV owners are reporting some software issues. Can this carry over to the 718 EV?

The 718 is expected to use a smaller battery than the Macan EV's 100 kWh piece in order to stay lightweight

How will Porsche keep the balance between decent range and lightweight remains to be seen

In light of the dwindling demand for EVs Porsche is planning to retrofit some of its models with ICE and/or hybrid powertrains

Given the controversy surrounding the 718 EV, going hybrid should be a path of exploration for Porsche

Swipe up for more details on the 718 EV's future and what it means for some of the other Porsche models

The rollout of the 992.2 series is underway and one of the most highly anticipated models is undoubtedly the next GT3 RS

The GT3 RS is the top-dog when it comes to high-performance 911s

The 992.2 GT3 RS is already in the early stages of development

Due to stricter emissions regulations, the upcoming GT3 RS could see some pretty controversial changes

The recently unvieled 992.2 GT3 did not gain power and the same could be true for the GT3 RS

Expect Porsche to carry out work on the chassis and aerodynamics to maximize performance over the 992.1 GT3 RS

Even the GT3-specific double-wishbone front suspension is aerodynamically -optimized

Porsche partner Manthey Racing is also offering its own version of the GT3 RS

Manthey's kit improves downforce by 20 percent

Based on the spy footage we've seen and heard until now, the 4.0-liter will still be around in its classic, normally aspirated form possibly for the last time

So far, the prototype does not seem vastly different to the current model

Porsche's new GT3 RS prototype was only spotted recently for the first time, so a lot can change

Swipe up to learn more details about the 2026 Porsche 911 GT3 RS and see the prototype in action.

EV demand has dropped, with hybrids taking a bigger portion of the market

Taycan sales have suffered the most, as they've dropped 50 percent, compared to last year

Porsche's plan is to convert EV models to hybrid/ ICE propulsion, but it may spell trouble for some models

Taycan is the only Porsche, designed to be purely electric, so converting it may not be too cost-effective

This may lead to the Taycan suffering the same fate as the 928 many years ago, which was discontinued due to poor sales

Back in 2015, Porsche introduced a scaled-down Panamera, called the Pajun

We could see a model like this replacing the Taycan, and sitting below the Panamera

Meanwhile, the Panamera is getting an EV variant that would be sold alongside the current lineup

The ICE-powered Macan receives extended service as the brand's best-selling model

Like other Porsche models, the EV Macan will be on offer alongside the ICE variants

Given that the upcoming all-electric K9 SUV under development, and will be positioned above the Cayenne, could potentially be converted to feature a hybrid or a gas-power

Porsche is still going through with the 718 EV

The ICE-powered Porsche 718 is planned to be discontinued in 2025

But there is a possibility that the ICE 718 could stay and even go hybrid

At any rate, Porsche's lineup will not change drastically, but there is a possibility that we could lose 1 or 2 of the current models

Swipe up to learn more about how Porsche's new EV strategy can benefit car enthusiasts

Global Taycan sales have dropped by almost 50 percent, in 2024

The Porsche Taycan was the brand's first EV and until recently, the fastest-selling performance EV

Chinese EV incentives have played havoc on European EV sales

At the same time, the Panamera lineup will follow in the footsteps of the Cayenne

This means that, alongside the ICE/ hybrid-powered variants, an EV will be introduced

The Panamera is positioned above the Taycan as a larger, more luxurious proposition

At the same time, Porsche continues pouring new tech in the Panamera, meaning it's here to stay

The Taycan could have the same fate as the Porsche 928 30 years before

The 930 Turbo may be why the Porsche 928 came around in the first place

The V-8 Porsche coupe experienced declining sales in the mid-1980s, eventually resulting in the 928's discontinuation

With a new, enriched lineup, the spotlight could, once again, shine on the Panamera

What do you think? Will the Taycan suffer a similar fate to the 928?

The 992.2 generation could mark the end of an era for the naturally aspirated engines for the GT3

Porsche GT boss says the next-gen 911 GT3 may adopt hybrid tech or turbo power

The Euro 7 emissions standard will kick in from January 1 2025

The writing is on the wall: 992.2 GT3 packs the same power as the 992.1 GT3

The 992.2 GT3 has less peak torque than the 992.1 GT3 - 339 vs 346 lb-ft...

but at least on paper, the new 911 GT3 isn't any slower

Bugatti Tourbillon may be hinting at a hybrid 911 GT3

Porsche still remains a majority stakeholder of Bugatti after its acquisition by Rimac from VW

Other Porsche sports cars are bound to follow

Turbocharging would compromise the 911 GT3's classic characteristics...

since turbocharged engines are typically more muffled and have less-immediate response than naturally-aspirated mills

Hybrids and manual transmissions rarely mix, which begs the question: will the next GT3 come only with the PDK?

A version of the T-Hybrid powertrain as seen on the GTS, may be the solution, unless...

Porsche actually makes the six-stroke engine, it recently patented

Synthetic fuels are another option to comply with stringent emissions regulations, but Porsche is still figuring out the logistics

The entire season of 8 races of the Porsche Mobil 1 that feature 911 GT3 Cup cars run exclusively on e-fuels

We have two more years of the normally-aspirated, non-hybrid 911 GT3

The Porsche 992.2 GT3 may be the last pure, naturally-aspirated track-focused Porsche

Will this be the end of an epic era of Porsche track weapons?

A rapid change in the EV scene means the Porsche 718 will continue to offer boxer engines

The Porsche 718 EV is still coming, but Porsche announced it will be integrating ICE and hybrid technology in its EVs

The market no longer favors EVs as hybrids jump in popularity

Production of the 982-generation will either be prolonged or Porsche will come up with an all-new platform

Like other EV models, the fully-electric 718 will adopt some aesthetics from the Taycan

Porsche 718 saw a 10-percent increase in sales, likely due to Porsche's original plans to replace it with an EV, in 2025

The 983-generation will continue to be offered as, bith, coupe and convertible, regardless of the powertrain type

We expect the T-Hybrid powertrain will be repurposed for use in the smaller 718

Given what they've done with the 992.2, we expect the next-gen 718 to also be available in GT4 guise

Swipe up for more on what we can expect from the Porsche 718 in the future

The standard Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid is a hefty SUV at 5,721-pounds

The GT Package sheds over 220 pounds off the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid

But the hybrid Cayenne Turbo is still around 600 pounds heavier than the non-hybrid Cayenne Turbo GT

Power from the V-8 hybrid system remains the same at 729 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque

But almost everything else has been recalibrated compared to the standard model

Regardless of which suspension you have configured, the GT Package adds new exclusive settings for added performance

Sport Chrono and Launch control are standard features on the GT Package

GT-specific setup for the traction control, rear-axle steering and other features turn the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid into a completely different animal

The exterior is also more aggressive, featuring black trim and carbon-fiber bits

22-inch Turbo GT wheels now feature wider front tires for added feel and grip, courtesy of Pirelli P-Zero Corsa rubber

Like the exterior, the interior has been amped-up. The GT Package adds a lot of Alcantara, contrast stitchhig, and carbon fiber

Swipe up to learn everything about the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid's GT Package, and what it does for the SUV.

How does the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT stack up against the Lotus Emeya?

The Turbo GT is Porsche Taycan's most radical version

Lotus' first EV performance sedan offers a worthy alternative for half the price

The twin e-motor setup in the Taycan Turbo GT is good for 1,019 hp, making it the most powerful, road-going Porsche

The dual-motors in the Lotus Emeya R are good for 919 hp, making it the second-most powerful Lotus after the 1,972-hp Evija

The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT sacrifices practicality for on-track performance

The optional Weissach Package removes the rear seats from the Taycan Turbo GT interior, contributing to a sub-4,900-pound weight

The Lotus Emeya is heftier and at over 5,700 pounds, much heavier

THe Taycan Turbo GT's minimalsitic, but upscale interior is full of motorsport heritage thanks to Alcantara inserts and bucket seats

Meanwhile, the Emeya offers a much more luxurious experience

With the Weissach package, the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT needs just 2.1 seconds to hit 60 mph, on its way to a top speed of 190 mph

The Emeya takes a bit longer for the 0-60 mph sprint - 2.7 seconds. The top speed is limited to 155 mph

Extreme performance comes at a steep price: Taycan Turbo GT starts at $231,995

Meanwhile, the Lotus Emeya R will "only" set you back around $120,000

Despite the looming threat of electrification, Porsche continues to innovate with internal combustion technology

The automaker's latest engine design patent with the patent office squeezes 2 extra strokes in between the traditional 4 strokes, for a total of six strokes

The main feature is a new crankshaft that can alter its center rotating point, essentially giving the piston two different top and bottom dead centers

This means that Porsche's six-stroke engine design features variable compression

The patent describes the working sequence as 6 individual strokes, but also 2 sets of 3-stroke steps

A traditional 4-stroke sequence goes like this: intake - compression - power - exhaust

Porsche's 6-stroke design goes like this: intake - compression - power - compression - power - exhaust

The system would greatly increase the engine's energy efficiency, especially if combined with the T-Hybrid powertrain

A 6-stroke engine, working with the T-Hybrid system, and powered by synthetic fuels would ensure longevity for internal combustion engines

With the all-electric Porsche 718 on the way, the question rises: How will Porsche make EVs more engaging?

Porsche will not be developing a "manual" for EVs, like Toyota and Hyundai

The "manual" transmission in Toyota and Hyundai EVs works by reducing torque on purpose

But simulating the properties of an ICE-powered vehicle sacrifices performance

Porsche's way of making EVs relatively engaging is by not offering one-pedal driving capabilities

That said, Porsche still offers regenerative braking. It just works a bit differently

Porsche's recent focus on the hybrid 911 is why the Carrera S will take longer to arrive

Porsche's decision to not offer its most popular 911 right away shows the German automaker is willing to go the extra mile to push the electrified 911 in our faces

There is no Carrera S prototype spotted yet, which means it will be based on one of the existing 992.2 models

We know the base 992.2 Carrera received the 992.1 GTS' turbochargers. A 992.2 Carrera S could get the 992.1 Turbo's setup

One source claims the 992.2 Carrera S would feature a hybrid setup, similar to the 2025 GTS

A hybrid powertrain on the Carrera S could have some consequences for the more analog focused driver

It automatically rules out a manual 911, at least for the mainstream models

A fairly reliable source quotes a power figure of 510 horsepower for the upcoming Carrera S

However, this power figure puts it dangerously close to the T-Hybrid-powered Carrera GTS

The 992.2 Carrera S could also introduce a more distinctive design that separates it from other 992.2 models

A 500-plus horsepower, hybrid Carrera S would be a big jump from the base Carrera, unless Porsche is planning something special

The Lamborghini Temerario is the first V-8-powered Lamborghini sportscar since the Jalpa

With 907 hp from a hybrid setup, the Temererio is the most powerful mid-engine supercar in its class

The Revuelto's 3 e-motors can also be found here, assisting a flat-plane V-8 that revs to 10,000 RPM

Instead of throwing massive power, Porsche engineers plan to utilize the T-Hybrid powertrain to its full potential

The upcoming 992.2 Turbo S will utilize a more powerful version of the 992.2 Carrera 4 GTS powertrain

With the 992.2 GTS outperforming the current 992.1 Turbo S around the Nordschleife, the 992.2 Turbo S hybrid will likely pack around a combined 710 hp

With the T-Hybrid setup, a 992.2 Turbo S would weigh around the same as the Lamborghini Temererio's 3,725 lbs

The Temererio's hybrid power allows for a 2.6-second 0-60 mph time

Even the current Turbo S can, reportedly hit 60 mph in as little as 2.2 seconds

Also, unlike Lamborghini, Porsche is conservative in reporting its performance numbers

Swipe up to learn more about how and if Temererio's hybrid V-8 will play a role in Porsche's 992.2 Turbo S.

The recently introduced Lamborghini Temerario features many company firsts

The Huracan successor features a turbocharged V8 engine in place of the V10

The hybrid baby Lambo's flat-plane V8 revs to 10,000 RPM

The Temerario's V-8 revs to 10,000 RPM. It, alone, makes 789 hp

With 3 electric motors on board, Lamborghini Temerario makes over 900 hp

With a 0-60 mph time in 2.6 seconds, the Temerario is hyper-car quick

Its 213 mph top speed is also nothing to scoff at

Beyond the powerplant, the exterior of the Temarario is all-new and a departure from the outgoing Huracan

Lamborghini's new hexagonal design is apparent in the Temerario's interior

Meanwhile, the upcoming Porsche 911 Turbo range is also about to adopt hybrid tech

The 992.2 Turbo S's gas-powered unit could be less powerful than the outgoing model, but with hybrid assist it should still be quicker

A larger-displacement variant of the 9A3 engine seen in the recent hybrid 992.2 GTS, is not out of the question for the new Turbo S

In true tradition, the 992.2 Turbo S is expected to rocket to 60 mph in the low-2 seconds

Compared to the Lambo, the upcoming 911 Turbo S may seem outgunned, but Porsche always punches above its weight

Similar to other 992.2 models we already know, the Turbo S will not be dramatically different inside

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

Swipe up for more details on where Porsche is at on hydrogen propulsion

Kalmar is a Danish company that specializes in reimagined, classic 911s

The 7-97 E-Volt is Kalmar's fourth project and the first EV car

The flat-6 makes room for a Tesla Model S powertrain with 414 hp and 442 lb-ft

Thanks to lightweight materials, the 7-97 E-Volt is barely heavier than the 964 Carrera donor car

The 0-60 mph time is comparable to a 992.2 Carrera, at around 3.8 seconds

Everything about the Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt is about sustainability and low emissions

The aerodynamically-optimize body is inspired by the 1967 Porsche 911 R

The charging port is tucked away behind the rear license plate

The 7-97 E-Volt scores subtle modernities like LED headlights

Despite being electric, it comes with a physical key

An analog charge meter replaces the rev-counter

Leather and semi-aniline materials line up the old-school interior

It comes with a shifter, resembling modern-day PDK-equipped Porsches

Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt shows us what an EV 911 could be like

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
