This is the Coperche 811 GT-K created by Stancemagic, a heavily modified Kei car that was recently showcased at the 2025 Tokyo Autosalon

The car draws heavily from the 991 RSR, which was unveiled in 2016

The RSR or RennSport RennWagen is designed to compete in endurance races like Le Mans and Daytona and features a 4.0 liter flat-six with 520 horsepower

The Copersche 811 GT-K meanwhile is based on a humble Copen, but unlike a stock 660 Kei car, features an updated 1.3-liter 4 cylinder

This one though has been beefed up with a fiberglass widebody kit

The most striking bit is the rear end with an RSR-inspired fixed giant rear wing

Inside, you've got some sport red bucket seats and a roll cage

To ensure this pocket rocket puts its power to the ground, you get sticky tires for all four corners

Upgraded brakes and calipers, with Stancemajic's own in-house wheel design

Introduced as part of the 992.2 generation, how do the latest Carrera T and GT3 Touring models stack up against each other for 2025?

At $132,000, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera T is your entryway into manual 911s

The 992.2 GT3 Touring will set you back $222,500 before options and it's very easy to get it up to $300k

The price difference between the 992.2 Carrera T and GT3 Touring is a Porsche 718 with a few options

Carrera T features the base model's engine, but with a few important bits, including the 6-speed manual and mechanical LSD

The GT3 Touring's normally-aspirated engine revs to 9,000 RPM. It can be mated to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed PDK

Similar interiors, but the GT3 Touring has a bit more options

Rear seats are optional on both models, but free of charge

The Carrera T is also available as a convertible, which costs an additional $13,300

The most lightweight Carrera T you can get - 3,285 pounds - 66 pounds less than the base Carrera

The Carrera T Cabriolet's extra bits result in a curb weight of 3,483 pounds

The GT3 Touring is more powerful and weighs less - 3,223 pounds (3,260 for the PDK)

The Carrera T is not a numbers car, but 0-60 mph still happens in 4.3 seconds

Despite the same torque, the lighter, more powerful GT3 Touring sprints to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds

Both the Carrera T and GT3 Touring feature model-specific looks

The GR Supra and 992.2 Carrera may be light years apart when it comes to pricing but are similar in more ways than you think

The Porsche 911 (992.2) Carrera starts at $120,100

The Toyota GR Supra starts at $56,250

With 388 horsepower and 332 pound-feet, the 911 has more power, but less torque, at least on paper

The GR Supra is powered by the B58 engine, which is rated at 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet

The GR Supra also gives you the option of a 6-speed manual

In 2024, more than half the GR Supras sold were manual

Entering the 911 Carrera is an occasion You still get classic touches like the 5-gauge instrument cluster and LeMans-style key position

Both the 992.2 Carrera and GR Supra are rear-wheel drive and they both sprint to 60 mph in roughly the same time (when both are automatic)

Timeless looks. The 992.2 shape has evolved, but not changed. It's still relatively compact and lightweight

A comprehensive array of optional equipment, including the HD Matrix LED headlights

The GR Supra design will not age as well and the fake vents are off-putting

With only 2 seats, the GR Supra is also less-practical, but features easy access to the rear cargo area

The GR Supra interior is well-built, but a bit too Germanic for a JDM icon

This could be the last Supra with a 6-cylinder engine as the next generation is, reportedly, going to be a 4-cylinder hybrid

Meanwhile, the 911 lineup is gradually being electrified due to strict emissions. Will the next Carrera continue to be non-hybrid?

Swipe up for more details on how these 2 iconic sports cars compare.

In this head-2-head of old-school modern, find out how the analog 911 GT1, compares to the latest hybridized supercar from Ferrari, the F80

A homologation special for FIA GT1 racing, the GT1 is like no other 911

The GT1 is motivated by a Mezger engine - the M96/80, propelling it to over 190 mph, with some claiming more

The only mid-engine 911 features a steel tubular frame with mostly carbon-fiber body

The Porsche 911 GT1 Street packs 544 horsepower and 443 pound-feet, along with a 6-speed manual

The Ferrari F80 is a tech fest on wheels that sparked a lot of controversy

The Ferrari F80 features 2 electric motors, each powering the front wheels

The Ferrari F80 packs a combined power output of 1,184 horsepower

The F80 features an F1-inspired interior and a driver seat in a different color

Production of the Ferrari F80 is 799 examples, each costing $4.0 million

But the Porsche 911 GT1 Street is even rarer - just 25 road-going examples. The last time a GT1 went on sale, it was for $7.045 million

Most examples of the GT1 Street were finished in Arctic Gray and featured the 996 headlights

In 2024, Porsche transitioned its best-selling Macan into the electric era, introducing the Macan Electric

Tesla recently unveiled the refreshed Model Y, codenamed "Juniper," and received 50,000 orders within the first day

The Macan Electric's 100 kWh battery (95 kWh net) supports 800-volt architecture for DC charging at up to 270 kW, reaching 80% charge in 21 minutes

The Tesla Model Y's 80 kWh battery enables DC charging at up to 250 kW, leveraging Tesla's Supercharger network for convenience

The 2025 Porsche Macan Electric features a single rear-mounted motor, producing 355 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, with rear-wheel drive

The 2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range utilizes a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, generating 384 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque

The Macan Electric incorporates advanced chassis features like adaptive air suspension, rear-wheel steering (optional), and regenerative braking

The Model Y focuses on practicality and technology with standard dual-motor AWD, regenerative braking, and independent suspension. The Model Y is also available with full-self driving

The Macan Electric boasts Porsche's signature design, with its signature four-point LED headlights

Tesla's refreshed Model Y includes a modernized exterior with new bumpers, light bars

You get truly a luxurious interior with leather upholstery, a 12.6-inch driver display, and a 10.9-inch infotainment touchscreen

The Model Y Juniper gets a minimalist interior featuring a 15.4-inch central touchscreen and an 8.0-inch rear display

Pricing starts at $77,295 for the Porsche Macan Electric

The Tesla Model Y Long Range starts at $45,000

Both vehicles offer over 300 miles of range, but Tesla's advanced battery management and heat pump give it an edge in cold climates

2025 will mark the end of the R35 Nissan GT-R, so how does it stack up against the latest Porsche 911?

At $120,100, the base 992.2 Carrera is your entry into the Porsche 911 lineup for 2025

With a starting MSRP of $121,090, the Nissan GT-R seems to be representing a much better value for money, on paper

Porsche offers a revised variant of its latest 911 generation, dating back to 2019

Despite constant revisions, the Nissan GT-R remains fundamentally the same since 2008

Despite a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera is heavily outgunned by Godzilla

But thanks to high grip levels and a PDK transmission, the 992.2 Carrera still manages a 3.9-second to 60 mph

Meanwhile, the GT-R sprints to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and the more expensive NISMO can do 2.5 if conditions allow it

The GT-R's DCT transmission only has 6 gears and is slightly slower and less-refined than the 8-speed PDK

On the other hand, the VR38 DETT is a legendary powerhouse, capable of insane numbers

Inside, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera features a high-quality interior with a fully digital, but retro-inspired instrument cluster

The 4-way adjustable Sport seats are good enough, but for anything else, Porsche will charge you extra

Despite the last major revision in 2017, the Nissan GT-R interior still feels outdated compared to the 911

However, the Nissan is much more generous in terms of standard equipment. There isn't a whole lot you can add

While not traditional rivals, there is one area where the BMW M4 CS and the latest Porsche 911 Carrera are comprable. Price.

At $120,100, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera can save you over $3,500 compared to the BMW M4 CS, but...

You are getting an entry-level 911 vs a range-topping, limited-edition M4

The rear-engine layout allows any 911 to take off like no other car

However, there is a 154-horsepower difference in favor of the M4 CS, which is also AWD

At the push of a button, the M4 CS can switch to rear-wheel-drive

Whereas the 992.2 Carrera is rear-wheel-drive-only as we no longer have a Carrera 4 model on the base trim

The 911 Carrera can also be had as a convertible while the BMW M4 CS is coupe-only

The 911's 3.0-liter flat-6 "only" makes 388 horsepower and 332 pound-feet, but the car weighs 595 pounds less than the M4 CS

Porsche's comprehensive configurator is rich on optional equipment, even for the base 911 Carrera

But in the range-topping BMW M4 CS, you get a lot of standard equipment

The BMW M4 CS's FR layout makes it the more practical sports car and even the rear seats are usable

Despite digitalization, the 911 interior is just as classically correct as the exterior, but it does feature a smaller infotainment screen compared to the BMW

The BMW M4 CS packs near-supercar levels of performance and could be a future classic

But the 911 has always been a classic, and the only choice for a Porsche enthusiast

Porsche has just taken the wraps of the 992.2 Carrera S for 2025, available in coupe and cabriolet body styles

When Porsche introduced the Carrera S in ’05, the idea was to offer a more potent version of the base Carrera with more power better suspension, and bigger brakes

The Carrera S occupied a sweet spot between the base model and the more powerful and expensive Carrera GTS, which is something that continues to this day

The 992.1 Carrera S, that was introduced in 2019 and here's how it compares to the latest 992.2 model

Porsche has enhanced the 3.0-liter flat six engine to deliver 473 horsepower (30 more than before), which is the same as the outgoing GTS

Here's how the 2025 Carrera S stacks up in terms of power compared to the rest of the 992.2 model lineup

The 2025 992.2 Carrera S is currently available with rear-wheel drive, with an all-wheel-drive variant expected to join the lineup soon

The all-wheel-drive variant of the 992.2 Carrera S should offer improved traction, particularly in adverse weather conditions, improving year-round usability

In the 2025 992.2 Carrera S, Porsche has discontinued the manual option, offering only the 8-speed PDK transmission

You may want to look at the cheaper manual-only Carrera T instead, if you’re looking for a stick with a 992 or alternatively, the more expensive GT3 Touring

The 2025 992.2 Carrera S can get to 60 in just 3.1 seconds, once again with the Sport Chrono Package—a 0.2-second improvement

The 2025 Carrera S comes generously equipped with standard features. The braking system has been upgraded, with discs from the outgoing GTS (16 inches up front, 15 inches at the rear)

Here's a closer look at the most noteworthy standard equipment on the 992.2 Carrera S

Performance-focused features remain intact, including Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+). Updated dampers have been optimized for both spirited drives and everyday comfort

For those looking to further enhance their Carrera S, Porsche offers several enticing options

The Front-Axle Lift System is a practical option, providing added peace of mind by allowing the front of the car to be raised to clear obstacles

The 2025 992.2 Carrera S retains the iconic 911 silhouette but introduces subtle updates

At the rear, design cues similar to the 992.2 GT3 Touring are present, including updated reflectors and rear bumper design, while maintaining the oval exhaust outlets

Stepping inside, there’s expanded use of leather. The Exclusive Manufaktur Leather Interior ($15k) offers up to 48 two-tone combinations

Additionally, the standard two-seat configuration can be expanded. If you want, rear seats can be added at no extra cost

You now get an all-digital instrument panel replacing the traditional analog tachometer and a start-stop button instead of the Le Mans style twist-to-start

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe starts at $146,400. A 15k premium over the 992.1 Carrera S. Here's how the Carrera S compares to other 992.2 models

What are your thoughts on the 992.2 Carrera S. Did Porsche deliver? We’d love to hear your thoughts

The 992.2 update began rolling out in May 2024 and the Carrera S trim was the latest to get the .2 update. Here's what we got and what we are missing

5. A distinctive look. The 992.1 Carrera and Carrera S looked identical except for the badging

The 992.2 Carrera S unfortunately continues this trend

The recently introdcued 992.2 Carrera T for example introduced some bold new colors and wheel designs along with a beach-wood shifter, that is unique to the model

4. All-wheel drive. The 992.2 Carrera S continues the trend of rear-wheel-drive-only

The Carrera S has been offered with a choice of RWD or AWD as it has been for the last 20 years. Perhaps a C4S is coming soon?

3. Analog gauges. The 992.2 update introduces a full digital instrument cluster, featuring the classic 5-gauge design.

At the very least, an analog rev-counter would have been nice for the 992.2 Carrera S as it is the focal point of the instrument cluster

2. A non-hybrid powertrain. The 992.2 Carrera S got this one right. It now packs 992.1 GTS power output

A non-hybrid engine would keep the weight down by some 110 pounds

Not going hybrid keeps the Carrera S price and performance right in-between the base Carrera and the GTS

1. A manual transmission. Currently, the Carrera T and GT3 models are the only 992.2 variants to give you the option of a six-speed manual. 992.2 Carrera S is PDK-only

Bringing back the seven-speed manual would have made the 992.2 Carrera S stand out even more

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S has been unveiled, marking significant improvements over the outgoing 992.1 model

Positioned between the base Carrera and the hybridized GTS, the Carrera S offers more standard equipment and increased power

The 3.0-liter engine now produces 473 horsepower, thanks to new twin turbochargers, offering a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds and the top speed is rated at 191 mph

Key upgrades include a sport exhaust, larger brakes from the outgoing GTS, and updated dampers for better ride quality. Optional features include ceramic composite brakes, a front-axle lift system, a rear-axle steering system

Driving dynamics are enhanced with an eight-speed PDK, optional PASM Sport Suspension, and staggered 20/21-inch wheels

While the exterior changes are minimal, the interior sees expanded leather use, matte-wood finishes, and tech upgrades like an all-digital instrument panel

The starting price for the 2025 Carrera S is $146,400, with the cabriolet priced at $159,600, and will hit U.S. dealerships in Spring 2025

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 base 992.2 Carrera has a starting MSRP of $120,000, before options

But for similar money, here are five legendary 911 models from older generations

5. Porsche 991.1 Carrera GTS: Average value: $117,772

The last normally-aspirated Carrera GTS is one of the most sought-after modern 911s, with 430 horsepower and the option of a manual

Special editions like this 60 Years Anniversary are over $200,000

4. Porsche 997.1 Turbo: Average value: $102,640

This is the last time you could buy a 911 with a Mezger engine and a manual

The 997.2 update removes the manual from the Turbo S and introduces the first direct-injected flat-six

3. Porsche 997 GT3: Average value - $130,000, but can get close to $300,000

The 997 GT3 was also the last Porsche to feature hydraulic steering and a Mezger engine

This 997 GT3 RS 4.0 is the most radical and very last version of the car. Only 600 made

2. Porsche 993 Turbo: Average value: $210,114. Plenty of examples for around $100,000

The last air-cooled 911 Turbo is also the first to feature al-wheel drive and over 400 horsepower

1. Porsche 930 Turbo: Average value: $170,000, but can still be found for around $100,000

The turbocharged engine is the most exciting part of the Porsche 930 Turbo, but also the most dangerous

The car had violent tendencies, earning it the nickname "Widowmaker"

The 992.2 GT2 RS is already in its early stages of development and should hit the scene by 2026

The test mule seen here, spotted by CarSpyMedia shows us a car that is disguised as a GT3 RS

The turbocharged rear-wheel drive GT2 RS models have always been similarly styled to the naturally-aspirated GT3 RS, albeit still featuring distinctive traits to set the two cars apart

But the sound profile is unlike the high-revving 4.0-liter flat-six

Instead, distinct turbo noises can be heard in the video, which could only mean one thing. What we're looking at could indeed be the 992.2 GT2 RS

The 992.2 GTS introduced the T-Hybrid powertrain, a version of which will be used in the next Turbo and GT2 RS models

The upcoming Hybird Turbo S is expected to make over 700 horsepower, which means the GT2 RS has to make close to 800

If we look back at the history of the 911 GT2, it started with the Porsche 993 back in the early 1990s. Only 194 examples were built

The 993 GT2 produced 424 hp while the GT2 EVO - 444. The 993 is the only air-cooled Porsche 911 GT2

The 996 GT2 was introduced in 2001 and it did not feature traction control

At 1,287 units, the 996 was the most mass-produced GT2

The 997 generation featured many firsts and lasts for the GT2. The GT2 RS was introduced for the first time

The 997.2 GT2 RS featured 100 more horsepower than the regular GT2. Over 1,200 examples were built from each

The 991.2 GT2 RS became the quickest car around Nurburgring, twice

For the first time, the GT2 RS was not offered with a manual. It came with a 7-speed PDK

To this day, the 991.2 GT2 RS with a lap time of 6:43.3 is the second-quickest road-going car, around the Green Hell

While most Porsche models are still proudly made in Germany, some of the operations have moved to other facilities, including overseas

To understand the scale of Porsche's current operations, we'll look at how and where the German automaker began making cars

The first Porsche factory was located in Gmünd, Austria, where the Porsche 356 was produced until the 1950s when production was moved to Germany

Production subsequently moved to Stuttgart in Germany

Here's a more recent overhead shot of this sprawling facility

A few models are built at the Zuffenhausen facility, including the iconic 911

The all-electric Taycan is also made in the same factory as the 911!

The 718 Cayman and Boxster models are put together in a separate factory in Osnabrück, in the German state of Lower Saxony

Apart from the Zuffenhausen factory, Porsche has another factory in Leipzig

Models like the Panamera and the Macan crossover are built here

Models like the iconic Carrera GT were built at the Leipzig facility

It is also worth noting that much of the development of both Porsche race cars and road cars happens at the Weissach facility, just outside Stuttgart

The Weissach also house several prototypes of both race cars and road cars

Outside of Germany, Porsche uses VW's Bratislava factory to build the Cayenne SUV

Porsche's first factory outside Europe is situated in Malaysia. It was inaugurated in 2022 and only manufactures the Cayenne

With China being one of Porsche's top markets, the German automaker has an R&D center in Shanghai

To get an idea about where every Porsche model has been built since 1948 and how many Porscehs were built over the past five years, swipe.

After its European debut, founder Jan Kalmar, of Kalmar Automotive, drove his most powerful creation the 9x9 for 3 days, in over 3 countries

Dring from Italy, through France, and onto the U.K., the 3,000km (approx, 1,860-mile) road trip is a small part of the real-life testing that goes into the 9x9 development

During the trip, the 9x9 inspired by the Porsche 959 saw everything from highways to mountain passes, to the Nurburgring where it set a lap time

An excruciating amount of attention to detail has gone into making the 9x9 usable in all conditions

Like the 959, the Kalmar 9x9 interior is similar to the 993, but in this case, we have a few 992 touches

Despite being a hypercar "resto-mod", Kalmar 9x9 has cruise control, bright LED lights, and adaptive suspension, among other sophisticated tech

What is essentially a retro hypercar, the Kalmar 9x9 is meant for long-distance cruising

The engine is a 3.7-liter, twin-turbo, flat-6. Here, it's mated to an 8-speed PDK automaic

With 930 horsepower and 767 pound-feet, the 9x9 is able to cross several countries at tremendous pace

At around 3,080 pounds, Kalmar 9x9 is almost as light as the lightest Porsche 992, the 911 S/T

The 9x9 will be available in 3 different variants, Standard, Sport, and Lichtbau, with each model prioritizing different aspects and application

Real-life testing of the 9x9 continues, in order to make sure everything works properly

Next stop - Ales, France, where the 9x9 will receive high-performance testing and lay down some numbers

Prices will start at $2.15 million

Deliveries of the Kalmar 9x9 will commence in July 2025

Swipe up to learn more about the Kalmar 9x9 and what goes behind Kalmar's "We test in public" approach.

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.

Porsche has been rolling out the 992.2 refresh since May this year and here's a comprehensive list of the launch dates of all trims updated so far and that of upcoming trims

Kicking things off with the base-model Porsche 992.2 Carrera. Released in May 2024 it introduced a more aggressive front fascia than its predecessor

Inside, you now get a fully digital instrument cluster and rear seats are now optional

The 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine now produces 388 horsepower, with 60 mph coming up in 3.7 seconds when equipped with the Sport Chrono package. Top speed is 183 mph

Rear-wheel steering is standard on the entry-level 911 Carrera which has a starting MSRP of $120,100

Next up, the 992.2 Carrera GTS was launched alongside the base model Carrera in May, to become the first hybridized production 911

This hybrid setup is different from Porsche's plug-in E-Hybrid system, in that it doesn't offer pure EV mode and it puts more emphasis on performance by eliminating Turbo lag

The 992.2 Carrera GTS features a 3.6-liter turbocharged flat-six engine paired with an electric turbo and an additional electric motor. It delivers a combined 532 horsepower and 449 pound-feet of torque, propelling the car from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds

Available across three-body styles, exterior updates on the 992.2 GTS besides the signature blacked-out accents - include new bumpers and active vertical shutters. The 2025 Carrera GTS starts at $164,500

Moving onto the 992.2 GT3, released in mid-October. It brings a revised front end with a sharper design and integrated carbon blades, an aggressive rear bumper, and larger wing endplates on standard the GT3, and a retractable wing for the GT3 Touring

Inside, you get an all-digital instrument cluster, Racetex-covered dashboard, and optional rear seats for the GT3 Touring. Both models are still available with a manual

The optional Weissach package available for the first time on the GT3 RS, when equipped with light-weight magnesium wheels, can save up to 48 pounds

The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine has been retained with 502 horsepower, but the torque figure has been slightly reduced. The 992.2 GT3 is priced at $222,500, a significant increase of nearly $60,000 compared to the previous generation

Next up, the manual-only 992.2 Porsche 911 Carrera T was released 10 days after the GT3 at the end of October

The Interior features a 12.6-inch driver display replacing the analog tachometer and a matte walnut shift knob for the manual transmission

Performance and features include a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 388 horsepower, rear-axle steering, revised anti-roll bars, a tweaked PASM system, and larger brakes

Available as a coupe, priced at $134,000, or a cabriolet that will cost $147,300, exterior updates include sleeker headlights, wider taillights, new wheel designs, and a Vanadium Grey accent package

Now, moving onto those 992.2 models that haven't been released yet, and we're kicking things off with the 992.2 Carrera S

The Carrera S is an extremely popular trim in the 911 lineup, as it builds upon the base model with more power, better suspension, and better brakes

The upcoming Carrera S might feature a more powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, potentially delivering around 500 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission might be offered as a no-cost option

The 992.2 Carrera S is set to be released in 2025 as a 2026 model and is expected to be priced higher than the outgoing model, which carried a sticker price of around $125,000

Stepping it up to the upcoming 992.2 Turbo lineup, a recent leak from Porsche's configurator already shows us some of the exterior design cues

Besides the Turbo and Turbo S models, the 992.2 updates should also include a new wingless Turbo Touring model seen here, which is set to most likely debut in mid-to-late 2025

The Turbo S and Touring could feature a Hybrid 3.6-liter engine with more power, owing to the additional punch from the electric motor, knocking on 700 horsepower for the Turbo S, which is about 60 more than the current model's 640

The standard Turbo could feature a revised 3.8-liter flat-six engine with a potential rear-wheel-drive option and manual transmission. A significant price hike of around $50,000 across the Turbo lineup can't be ruled out

Finally, the upcoming 992.2 GT3 RS set to debut in 2027 is shaping up to be a controversial model

Rumors suggest a possible hybrid setup for the 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six, to meet stricter emissions standards, but the exact power figures and performance specifications are still unknown

The 992.2 GT3 RS could feature rear-wheel steering, adjustable dampers, a locking rear differential, and potential aerodynamic enhancements inspired by the 992.1 GT3 RS with the Manthey Racing kit

The 992.2 GT3 RS is expected to be priced higher than the current model, which starts at $241,300. Electrification could further impact the GT3 RS market.

Porsche's entry-level crossover, the Macan, enters its second generation as an EV for the first time

While you still can buy the older gas-powered Macan until 2026, the Macan Electric is here to stay

The Macan Electric is available across four trim levels: Macan Electric Base (Single Motor), Macan 4 Electric, Macan 4S Electric, and Macan Electric Turbo

The Macan RWD is rated at 335 horsepower. The Macan 4 Electric produces 402 horsepower.

Stepping up to the 4S unlocks 509 horsepower. The top-spec Turbo Electric cranks 630 horsepower

All Macan Electric models feature a 100 kWh battery pack that supports up to 270 kW DC fast charging

If you’re lucky enough to find a charger that supports those charging speeds, it will only take about 21 minutes to go from 10 to 80 percent

If you're after more range, the most efficient would be the base Macan RWD with its expected 320 miles of range, followed by the Macan 4 with 308 miles of EPA-rated range

Design-wise, the Macan Electric is a stunning crossover. LED lights, 20-inch standard wheels, and the Coupe-like profile what make it appealing

No more scratchy plastics inside! The new Macan Electric should feel more posh than the gas-powered model

There's a 12.6-inch driver's display, a touchscreen infotainment system, and space to fit a 10.9-inch display on the passenger side

The Macan Electric starts at $75,300 and goes up to $105,300 for the Turbo Electric variant

You can even opt for the Offroad Design Package for $1,570, should you choose to give your Macan EV an off-road touch.

If you were apprehensive about the next-gen Carrera S's existence, the most popular 911 trim is not going anywhere

The 992.2 Carrera S is happening and thankfully, it will not be a hybrid like the 992.2 GTS

Instead, the Carrera S will continue to rely on the 3.0-liter, twin-turbo flat-6 seen on the base model 911

However, the 992.2 Carrera S is expected to feature upgraded intercoolers and turbos for increased power

While not confirmed, power is expected to be around 500 horsepower

The 6-speed manual, (instead of 7), similar to what we saw on the recent Carrera T, is also expected to stick around for the 992.2 Carrera S

The 992.2 Carrera S manual is also expected to share an identical, differential setup to the manual-only Carrera T

Higher up the ladder, the 992.2 GTS will not be the only hybrid 911

The 992.2 Turbo is also around the corner and it will feature a similar setup to the 992.2 GTS

The 992.2 Carrera S should arrive in the first half of 2025 with the Turbo model, joining the lineup few months after

With an official lap time of 6:57.685, the Ford Mustang GTD is the 10th fastest production car at the Nürburgring

A sub-seven-minute time at the infamous 13-mile Nordschleife in Germany is considered a benchmark by performance car makers

Ford entrusted the task of this record-breaking run, to Nürburgring veteran, Dirk Müller who knows the place like the back of his hand

Despite the less-than-ideal conditions and predicted rain, the Ford team had been preparing for this run for months and decided to go ahead with it

The record was attempted back in summer on August 7th, 2024

Simulators were used to map out every corner, to ensure that everything went according to plan

Here's an onboard shot of Dirk Müller and the telemetry from the record-breaking run

The wait for the lap time was agonizing, to say the least as the Ford team waited with anticipation

Finally, the official time came in and to everyone's relief on the team, the Mustang GTD was now in the history books with a time of 6:57.685

This is a big deal for Ford because the Mustang GTD is the first American car to set a sub-seven-minute time at the 'Ring

So how exactly was Ford able to pull it off? Well, the Mustang GTD or Grand Touring Daytona has IMSA roots and is essentially a street-legal race car

It features advanced motor-sport-derived suspension comprising adaptive dampers, developed by Canadian firm Multimatic. This system allows for instant response based on track conditions

The Mustang GTD utilizes a "Drag Reduction System" to optimize its aerodynamics, featuring an active rear wing and special flaps under the car to maximize speed on straights and generate downforce for cornering

The GTD's engine is a supercharged 5.2-liter V8, with Ford's first-ever dry-sump oil system in a roadgoing Mustang. This ensures lubrication during intense cornering, allowing for higher engine speeds and improved performance under heavy G-forces

With 800 horsepower on tap, the Mustang GTD produces a lot more power compared to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS's 518

But power alone isn't everything and when you compare the weight figures, the GT3 RS is 600 pounds lighter than the Ford, coming in at just 3,268 pounds

Limited to just 1,000 examples, the Mustang GTD also costs $325,000 which is significantly more than a 911 GT3 RS

So does Ford's new record increase its appeal over a 911 GT3 RS?

The Porsche 718 will soon be replaced by an all-electric model in 2026

Having debuted in 2016 and while it's almost a decade old, the lineup continues to remain strong

Available across five trims: Base, Style, S, GTS 4.0, and GT4 RS, this makes the 2025 model the last gas-powered Cayman

For the 2025 model year, Porsche has made the PDK gearbox a standard affair and everything remains the same as before

There are several engine options available for the 718 Cayman: a 300-hp 2.0-liter flat-4, a 350-hp 2.5-liter flat-4, and two 4.0-liter N/A flat-sixes, one tuned at 394 hp and the other at 493 hp

Rear wheel drive and a 7-speed PDK gearbox is standard throughout the range, with the option to opt for a 6-speed manual gearbox

The 718 Cayman GT4 RS is a PDK-only trim

Despite being on the market for nearly a decade, the 718 doesn't look dated. Those sharp lines and pointed nose make it more appealing than most entry-level sports cars

Should you need the absolute best visuals, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS is the way to go. Its larger intake vents, rear wing, and extensive use of carbon body panels make it look more like a race car

Inside the 718 Cayman, you'd find the 991-gen Porsche 911 touches

This is especially with the steering wheel, the analog dials, and the button-heavy dashboard

The 2025 Porsche 718 Cayman starts at $72,800, excluding the $1,995 destination charges, and goes up to $164,200 for the top of the line GT4 RS
