Both Lamborghini and Porsche now offer electrified SUVs

For 2024, the Lamborghini Urus has embraced electrification and has become a mighty PHEV

It revolves around the same engine features in the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid's Plug-in hybrid setup

The Urus S E Hybrid is expected to cost almost twice as much as the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid's $158k MSRP

The difference in performance doesn't seem to be anywhere near twice the Cayenne's sticker price

The Cayenne is down on power, but has a similar range to the Urus' 37

Urus S E Hybrid has a slightly better towing capacity - 7,000 pounds vs 6,600 for the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid

The range-topping, hybrid Cayenne can be had in two body styles - a traditional SUV or an SUV coupe

Both hybrid SUVs pack a 12.3-inch infotainment screen wth wireless smartphone connectivity as standard

The Urus'cockpit feels more special and comes standard with a 21-inch Premium sound system, which is optional on the Cayenne

Negligible difference - Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid takes 3.5 seconds to 60 mph - 0.3 slower than the Urus SE Hybrid

The hybrid Urus also tops the PHEV Cayenne in terms of top speed 194 mph vs 183

Both SUVs pack 701 pound-feet of torque, but the Cayenne makes it from just 900 RPM

The hybrid Urus SE packs 789 hp, which is 60 more than the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid

Can the 68-horsepower difference justify a $33,000+ difference?

Well, that's what we're about to find out as we stack the 992.1 Turbo Vs. its more powerful Turbo S variant

The Turbo S is marginally quicker in real life, sprinting to 60 mph in as little as 2.1 seconds (with the Lightweight package)

The regular 992 Turbo's 572 horsepower is good for a 2.5-second 0-60 mph time

Under the skin, the 992 Turbo and Turbo S feature very minor differences

The 3.75-liter flat-six is virtually identical in the Turbo and Turbo S models

However, different software and slightly bigger turbine wheels make the difference in horsepower

The 992 Turbo features 59mm turbochargers

While the Turbo S turbochargers feature 61 mm turbine wheels

The upcoming 992.2 Turbo will feature a more powerful version of the T-Hybrid system

The 992.2 Turbo S has a predicted power rating of around 710 horsepower

Tuthill recently unveiled a 911 GT1-inspired limited-run model dubbed the GT One

It is a modern interpretation of Porsche's 911 GT1 Strassenversion from the late 90s

It looks deceivingly good with sharp silhouette. It features a fully carbon fiber body and those retro-inspired wheels

The original 911 GT1 Strassenversion features fried-egg style headlights from the 996 911

It's the first mid-engined 911 ever made. The rear part of its chassis is derived from the 962 race car

Unlike the 911 GT1 Strassenversion, the Tuthill GT One sports rounded headlights, like the early GT1 Strassenversions with those 993 911 headlights

The Tuthill GT One features carbon ceramic brakes with FIA grade rollover protection system

The original 911 GT1 Strassenversion features 8-piston front brakes, anti-roll bars, and robust chassis bracing

The Tuthill GT One is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six. In the nat-asp flavor, the engine can produce north of 500 hp and the numbers go beyond 600 hp with the "forced induction" engine option

The lump powering the 911 GT1 Strassenversion is a 3.2-liter twin-turbo flat-six, rated at 536 hp

Inside is where you can find some drastic differences between the GT One and the GT1 Strassenversion, because the former is more advanced and posh looking

Side-by-side, the 911 GT1 Strassenversion's cabin feels very late 90s, and that is acknowledged by the sleek steering wheel and the iconic 5 gauge analog instrumentation

Porsche offers an aero kit for the 992 Carrera that is reasonably-priced

It includes revisions to the front and rear aprons, and most importantly, a taller rear wing

DMC offers a simple solutiion - a fixed rear wing, similar to what the Porsche aero package offers

The DMC rear wing is a simple plug-and-play for most 992 Carrera models, except the GTS

Techart Aero Kit II is the most comprehensive 992 Carrera aero kit

It features an 8-piece set, made entirely of forged carbon-fiber

Smaller elements of the Techart kit, like the air-intake frames, are carbon-coated

Dundon Motorsport's Valkyrie aero kit has been developed ,specifically for on-track domination

A new swan-neck rear wing contributes to 1,500 lbs of downforce at 160 mph - almost 1,000 more than the stock car

The Valkyrie body kit also features more aggressive, carbon-fiber dive planes, along with a revised front apron

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

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?

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

The Four-point LED headlights first appeared in 2009, on the Porsche Panamera Turbo

Initially reserved for the range-topping Porsche models, in 2013, the four-point daytime running LEDs were more widely-featured

The quad-point headlight design quickly transitioned to other Porsche models, including the 919 Le Mans racer

Porsche's HD Matrix LED is becoming a standard features on all new Porsche models, and so are the four-line LED graphics

Each LED headlight features over 32,000 individual pixels. The high beams can illuminate up to 600 meters ahead

Following the 2024 Panamera, the 2025 Porsche Cayenne gets the revised, four-line LEDs

For 2025, the 992.2 got the latest Porsche LED technology, along with an evolved pattern

Special treatment: Although the 992.2 also gets the HD Matrix LED headlights, it continues to have a distinctive LED design

Looking at the 911 specifically, the Porsche 964 was the last 911 exclusively offered with halogen headlights

The 993 transitioned was the first 911 to offer HID "Litronic" headlights as an option

The 996's "Fried-egg" headlights were still far from the current four-point design

The 997 went back to the traditional, round headlight. LED was only available on the 997.2 DRLs

The 991 was the first Porsche 911 to be offered with LED headlights

...although Xenon headlights were still available on the 991

Porsche 992 was the first 911, exclusively available with the four-point LED headlights

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

2025 brings an all-electric Macan, effectively doubling Porsche's mid-size SUV lineup

The Macan Electric is available in 4 variants: base, 4, 4s, and Turbo

But the Porsche Macan Electric 4S occupies the sweet spot in the range

Porsche Macan 4S Electric is only $9k more expensive than the base model and around $20k more affordable than the Macan Turbo Electric

With 442 hp - 510 with over-boost - 0-60 mph happens in 3.9 seconds

You also get up to 605 lb-ft of torque and the top speed is 149 mph

A low drag coefficient of 0.25 Cd contributes to an electric range of up to 376 miles WLTP
