TECHART's Flyweight treatment is all about making the 911 Turbo S lightweight

The regular GT Street R was limtied to 87 units

TECHART's GT Street R Flyweight is even more exclusive, with just 19 cars planned

Like the regular GT Street R, the Flyweight packs 800 horsepower and 700 pound-feet

The Flyweight is over 132 pounds lighter than the standard car

TECHART offers plenty of customization options for the Clubsport interior, dominated by Alcantara and carbon fiber

The Recaro, carbon-bucket seats weigh just 10.8 pounds each

The new fenders feature air extractors, similar to a 911 GT3 RS

The Formula VI Race Flyweight forged wheels are now lighter, reducing unsprung weight

The active rear wing is the craziest part of the aero kit, providing four times as much downforce over the stock 992.1 Turbo S

Camouflaged prototypes of the electric Boxster have been spotted undergoing testing since 2022

This recent rendering by klissarov.design depicts the potential design based on the latest spy shots

Key design elements include: Vertical air vents and radar sensors similar to the 992.2 911 Carrera

Edgy, angular headlights inspired by the Taycan

High-mounted rear stop light and rear bumper charge port

This render differs from prototypes by including a full-length light bar and a backlit Porsche logo

The rendering also doesn't feature, what appears to be side-vents as seen on the prototype. But why would the electric Boxster need it if its an EV?

The Boxster EV (983) will be built on Porsche's E-Core platform (seen in the Mission R concept)

The battery pack placement aims to maintain the mid-engine feel of the gas-powered model

Success hinges on replicating the Boxster experience, offering good range, charging, and competitive pricing

The all-electric Boxster 718 is expected to hit the road in 2026. Swipe up to read more.

German tuner, Friedrich Performance Manufaktur, uses upgrades to turn the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT into a 1,000-horsepower monster

The V-8 remains almost the same, aside from the new turbochargers

The FPM kit also includes larger intercoolers, air intakes, and 76mm downpipes, along with a software recallibration

The modifications allow for a power-to-weight ratio of around 444.6 horsepower per ton

Even stock, the non-hybrid Cayenne Turbo GT boasts better power-to-weight ratio than the more powerful Turbo E Hybrid

The FPM treatment also includes 21-inch wheels, which can be bougt separately

Clients can also opt for a new suspension calibration for a lower ride height

Aside from the wheels and suspension tweaks, FPM has left the exterior alone

Porsche's decision to ditch gold crests for Turbonite on all upcoming Turbo models, is a bold and refreshing move

The Pantone Color Institute's involvement adds an extra layer of exclusivity

It's a clear indication that the brand is looking to evolve while staying true to the Turbo lineup's five decade heritage

It's not surprising that it has generated a lot of buzz on the web and beyond

Cayenne and Panamera crowd might not care much, but for 911 and Boxster/Cayman enthusiasts, it could open a new dimension

I've already stumbled upon a 911 Targa model on Reddit, that's rocking a Turbonite badge on the hood. You can find one on Ebay for anywhere between $150-$300

Online marketplaces are already flooded with Turbonite accessories, from badges and center caps to thermos cups and key chains

It's a clear indication that the Turbonite craze is in full swing

However, people trying to slap Turbonite badges on lower-spec 911s, could create a situation that would be a Porsche purist's worst nightmare.

Porsche's Turbo models have been synonymous with high-performance luxury since the 1970s.

The first turbocharged 911, introduced in 1974, became a legend

To celebrate this 50-year legacy, Porsche has developed a signature color dubbed Turbonite

Inspired by the pyrite mineral, Porsche collaborated with New-York based Pantone, responsible for color cars in the fashion world

A lot of colors including Carmine red and orange were considered to be the Turbo's accent color

But Turbonite was chosen, as it offers a more sophisticated and stealthy look compared to gold accents

Turbo models afterall are designed to be subtle and powerful

Turbonite was first seen on the 2023 Panamera Turbo and later on the Macan EV Turbo

Turbonite will be featured on various trim pieces throughout the car

You'll also find it across various trim pieces and on the Porsche crest, in the cabin of Turbo models

The Turbonite treatment can vary depending on the model

Turbonite will eventually be available on all future Turbo models

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 Audi Q5 and SQ5 have been redesigned from the ground up for 2025 with sharper styling and a tech-laden interior

Porsche currently offers both electric and gas-powered Macans for 2025

Given its popularity in the U.S., the gas-powered Macan will be made until 2026

Where the gas-powered Macan starts at $62,400, the Macan EV starts at $78,000

The all-new Audi Q5 meanwhile will be launched purely with gas-engines and a hybrid set to launch at a later date

The 2025 Q5 and SQ5 are powered by 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and 3.0-liter turbo V6 engines

The gas-powered Porsche Macan is also available in 2.0 and 3.0 liter flavors with slightly different states of tune

The interior of the Q5 and SQ5 feature a 14.5-inch touchscreen for infotainment and an 11.9-inch screen for driver information

The Porsche Macan features a 10.9-inch central infotainment display and plenty of physical buttons and knobs

The Q5 has an estimated starting price of $47,400 and the SQ5 has an estimated starting price of $58,000, undercutting the base gas-powered Macan

Swipe up to find out if you should choose the all-new Audi Q5 over the aging gas-Macan.

The second-generation Mercedes AMG GT coupe openly throws the gauntlet at the 911 Turbo S

AMG's new sports coupe features a powerful PHEV powertrain in its range-topping trim

The GT63 S E Performance still relies on a twin-turbo V-8, but now, it's backed by an e-motor for a total system output of 816 hp

The combined torque of the hybrid powerplant is also impressive - 1,047 lb-ft

However, the GT63 S E Performance pays the ultimate price. At over 4,600 pounds, it's much heavier than the heaviest 911

But that doesn't stop the Mercedes from blasting to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds

The GT63 PHEV is also capable of driving almost 8.1 miles on electric power alone

While you can charge the 6.1 kWh battery through an AC charger, it's best to let the car recuperate lost energy while driving

The AMG GT63 interior is heavily-digitalized and features a 2+2 layout like in the AMG SL

The FR layout and hatchback tailgate make the AMG GT63 the most practical coupe. It boasts 19.85 cubic feet of cargo space

Official pricing for the AMG GT63 S E Performance is expected to be around the $200,000

Swipe up to find out what makes AMG's hybrid coupe a worthy alternative to the 911 Turbo S

For 2025, the Porsche 718 is going fully-electric, and is expected to start at around $78,000

The Mission R concept shows EV sports cars can be lightweight, with a curb weight of 3,306 lbs

The Porsche badge comes at a price, but some alternatives could offer better bang for the buck

Currently, Nissan's NISMO Z offers proven mechanicals and track-tuned chassis for a fraction of what the 718 EV would cost

The VR30 DDTT engine has been "massaged" to produce 420 hp, which is 60 more than what is expected to be the base 718 EV powertrain

Sadly, the NISMO Z is automatic-only, utilizing the Mercedes 9G-Tronic MCT

Still, the NISMO Z sprints to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to a 173 mph top speed

2026 will bring a new Toyota Celica, powered by a new, 400-hp turbo engine

It is expected to start at around $65,000

We still don't know how the 2026 Toyota Celica GR Sport would look, but it will feature all-wheel drive

For 2026, Toyota MR-2 is also making a come back, and it will continue to be a mid-engine two-seater

It will share the 400-hp turbo engine and GR-Four AWD system with the Celica GR Sport

It will be offered with a manual, but there will be an automatic available

Swipe up to find out how much this upcoming Toyota sports car will cost.

When it comes to attainable German convertibles, you currently only have two choices

The 718 Boxster starts at $74,900, making it the most affordable Porsche sports car

However, there is another German Roadster that might offer a bigger bang for the buck

The BMW Z4 M40 Roadster costs similar money to the entry-level 718 Boxster

The base-model 718 Boxster offers a 2.0-liter flat-four engine producing 296 hp and 280 lb-ft

The BMW Z4 M40i packs one of the most tuner-friendly inline-six engines - the B58

It packs 382 hp and 369 lb-ft, but apparently, these numbers are underreported

The six-cylinder Z4 M40i also starts at $66,450

Porsche's 718 retaliates by being over 500 pounds lighter and more agile than the Z4

However, the base Porsche Boxster cannot be had with a manual

The 718's PDK transmission is one of the best DCT automatics in the business, and contributes to a 4.5-second 0-60 mph time

The ZF 8-speed in the Z4 is one of the best traditional automatics, but you can also opt for a 6-speed manual
