For 2025, the mid-range Cayenne gets better than ever

Priced accordingly: the Cayenne GTS starts at $126,895 or $131,800 if you want the sportier coupe variant

The 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 is mechanically similar to the Cayenne S

With 493 hp and 487 lb-ft the Cayenne GTS can hit 60 mph in around 4.0 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 171 mph

The GTS in fact offers a better power-to-weight ratio than almost any other Cayenne - 225 hp/ ton

GTS-specific design elements make the Cayenne more aggressive, but not as shouty as the Turbo GT

Larger air intakes and lots of gloss-black accents are the main theme in all Porsche GTS models

The gloss-black arches are GTS-specific. They house 21-inch Spyder RS wheels, available in different types of finish

Also finished in black are the rear diffuser and exhaust tips of the Sports exhaust

The interior features Race Tex (Alcantara) accross all contact areas, but aside from that, it's business as usual inside

ES Motor recently demonstrated just how little it takes to enhance the 992 Turbo's performance to hypercar levels

Even the lowesr, ES700 package is good for insane improvements over the stock 911 Turbo S

More than you pay for: ES700 gets you 720 hp to the wheels, translating to 847 to the crankshaft

ES Motor's exhaust and a custom map are all that's needed to give the 911 Turbo over 200 extra horsepower

The 0 to 60 mph is near-identical to the stock 992 Turbo S, but the 0-214 mph happens more 1.5 seconds quicker

ES Motor specialists recommend you change the Goodyear Eagle F1 tires for a more aggressive tire, for optimal results

The range-topping ES900 package gives you hypercar-shaming capabilities

The kit adds new intercoolers, hybrid turbos, headers, new air filters, and more

Hypercar power achieved, but ES Motor does additional refinements to ensure reliability

The final tune makes less power, but torque is flatter across the rev range

The ES900 does 0-124 mph in 3.8-4.1 seconds - quicker than Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Jesko, at 5.5 and 4.6 seconds, respecetively

At around $40,000, this is the cheapest way to make the 992 Turbo a hypercar slayer

Porsche Spices things up for the Panamera S, 4S, and Turbo (S) E Hybrid models with a revolutionary suspension

Despite losing the more practical body style for 2024, some innovative features seem to suggest that the Panamera is here to stay

Also, compared to the Porsche's other four-door sedan, the all-electric Taycan, the Panamera is a slow-seller

However, potent new hybrid powertrains, Porsche's Active Suspension, and the rise in popularity of hybrid vehicles may change that

The new suspension features active dampers that can react 13 times per second to maximize stability and comfort

They, not only filter out road imperfections but also act as anti-roll bars

Among the many features the Active Suspension offers are dynamic ground clearance Smart Lift

Upon braking and accelerating, the new suspension can also adjust camber for maximized traction

This raises the car's height in milli-seconds, making getting in and out easier

The system also acconts for numerous aspects like the load on each wheel, differential lock, and more

Porsche's Active Suspension is a $7,150 optional extra for the Panamera

Swipe up for more details on Porsche's trick suspension, how it works, and what it means for the Panamera's 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

The Chinese made Xiaomi SU7's exterior design is sleek and Porsche-like, attracting attention despite potential criticism for being derivative

But look past the copy-cat looks and the SU7 seems to tick a lot of boxes

Xiaomi of course is a consumer electrics powerhouse and the SU7 is its very first effort at building an electric vehicle

Offered in three flavors, the SU7 offers strong acceleration

As quick as 2.78 seconds to 60 mph on the top-spec MAX model

You also get a decent range between 435 to 515 miles from a single charge

You also have decent battery packs with the latest in DC fast-charging capabilities, ensuring fast charge times

You have the ability to add physical controls and buttons to the touchscreen infotainment system, via several attachments as accessories

The build quality is generally good, but the suspension can be a bit stiff on the top-spec model

Starting at what is equivalent to $30,000, the SU7's affordability and advanced features could have a mass appeal in the U.S.

The SU7 is priced competitively compared to EVs Tesla Model 3 and a third of the price of a base Porsche Taycan

Without tariffs on Chinese EVs, a model like the SU7 could pose a threat to domestic car sales due to its competitive pricing and advanced features

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

The first turbocharged Porsche was not a 911

But one of the final iterations of the 917 race car, more specifically the 917/10 and the 917/30

The first 911 to receive a turbocharger was the 1974 Carrera RSR Turbo 2.1

Thanks to a big single turbo, its 2.1-liter boxer engine produced from 500 to 620 hp

In 2024, Porsche celebrates 50 years of the 911 Turbo - its most capable road-going variant

Because of its big single turbo and laggy characteristics, the 930 Turbo was nicknamed the Widowmaker

The more powerful, 3.3-liter variants of the original 911 Turbo feature a K26 turbocharger, for upto 330 hp in the Turbo S model

2006 marked a milestone for Porsche's turbocharging game, with the 997

The Porsche 997 Turbo was the first 911 to feature variable-geometry turbochargers

Some advantages of VGT technology include better heat resistance, more power, and broader torque curve

The more track-focused, 997 GT2 and GT2 RS models feature similar turbo technology, but with upgraded turbos for even more power

The first production hybrid 911 marked another evolution in Porsche's forced induction technology

The T-Hybrid loses the twin-turbo for a big single turbo that's electrically-assisted

The turbocharger's E-motor helps with spooling and can turn excess exhaust gasses into energy

The 2025 Porsche Macan EV is set to hit U.S. dealerships on 30th September

But before that, a member from the Macan EV Owners forum managed to find EPA-estimated ranges for the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo

The Macan 4 has an EPA certified range of 308 miles

The more potent Macan EV Turbo has been certified for 288 miles

These figures are slightly lower than European WLTP estimates of 381 miles, but align with expectations

Expect a potential 10-15% higher real-world range than EPA estimates

The Macan EV supports 270kW charging, allowing for a 10-80% charge in just over 20 minutes

The Macan EV's 300-mile range is a significant improvement over the pre-facelift Taycan's initial range limitations of just 208 miles

Porsche's commitment to NACS charging in 2025 will provide greater flexibility for long-distance travel

This will give you the ability to soon tap into Tesla's expansive Supercharger network, vastly improving the ownership experience

The Macan EV competes with models like the Audi Q8 e-Tron, BMW iX, Mercedes EQE SUV, and Tesla Model X

The Macan EV offers a combination of performance, range, and luxury
