Check out this Porsche-themed footwear, that resemble miniature 911s
-
-
Known as Racing Slippers, they're made from soft and plush material designed to help you stay warm
-
-
But these shoes feature exaggerated curves, "windows," and non-functional wheels
-
-
They come in various "body styles" that match different Porsche models
-
-
Some models even feature iconic Porsche details like the ducktail spoiler
-
-
These shoes are relatively inexpensive at just $29.99, but if they're a bit over the top
-
-
Porsche has also released limited-edition sneakers to commemorate 50 years of the 911 Turbo
-
-
The Porsche-branded sneakers are more expensive than the Racing Slippers at 168 Euro ($188).

This rendering of a Camel Trophy-themed Macan EV Turbo caught my attention
-
-
The Camel Trophy was a grueling off-road endurance race held annually between 1980 and 2000
-
-
Land Rover Defenders and Discoverys are often associated with the Camel Trophy
-
-
This Camel Trophy-inspired Macan has both impressive and questionable elements
-
-
Off-road features like chunky all-terrain tires and a roof rack are fitting for the theme
-
-
However, a snorkel on an electric car is a questionable design choice
-
-
Should Porsche consider making a more hardcore Macan EV with off-road enhancements?
-
-
The Macan EV is typically associated with luxury and on-road performance
-
-
Porsche's 911 Dakar proved to be immensely popular
-
-
The Cayenne Transsyberia was another rugged model that Porsche offered back in the late 2000s
-
-
For now, the Macan EV only offers a mild off-road package
-
-
Having said, test mules have demonstrated the SUV's off-road capabilities
-
-
As for this Camely Trophy-themed Porsche, it was a fun design exercise, despite some flaws.

Porsche has acquired a 32% stake in German battery maker Varta AG
-
-
Varta was burdened with a €485 million debt, now reduced to €200 million through restructuring
-
-
With this investment, Porsche gains access to Varta's V4Drive battery division
-
-
V4Drive specializes in large-format lithium-ion round cells for high-performance electric vehicles and Hybrids
-
-
Two generations of V4Drive cells have been developed: a booster and a high-performance cell
-
-
V4Drive technology focuses on low internal resistance and rapid charging
-
-
However, this investment in EV tech is counterintuitive as Porsche had previously aimed for 30% EV sales by 2030
-
-
Regardless, Porsche's parallel investment in Cellforce (another cell manufacuter) could help with vertically integrated battery ecosystem
-
-
The Varta deal could be a crucial step in Porsche's future EV strategy
-
-
This investment could help Porsche to take on Tesla and even address the looming threat of Chinese EVs in Europe.
