The Porsche 911 is widely regarded as the ultimate high-performance daily sports car. Porsche people certainly believe this and for a good reason. The German automaker has seemingly perfected the formula of the rear-engine layout, creating one of the most versatile platforms in the business. It’s no wonder, that there is a 911 for every taste, need, and (almost every) budget. Between the different body styles, engines, and drivetrain options, there are over 30 variants of the 992-generation Porsche 911 that you can choose from.

The Porsche 911 has been the most versatile sports car since its inception in 1964 and the current 992 generation is no different. Between the different versions and drivetrain configurations available, you can choose from around 30 different 911s, depending on your needs. And yes, this includes an off-road variant, reminiscent of the Porsche 953 Dakar. The Turbo S, typically, nearly sits at the top of any 911 lineup and above the Turbo, with only the track-focused GT models being above it. The 992.2 Turbo will arrive for 2025, but we still don’t know a lot about it other than it’s going to be a hybrid like the 992.2 GTS. Many wonder what the differences between the 992 Turbo and Turbo S are. We rarely see a regular Turbo, despite it being more affordable and almost as quick as a Turbo S, in real life. We decided to take a look and see what the differences between the Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S really are, and whether the Turbo S is truly worth the premium.

Currently, only two carmakers produce boxer engines – Porsche and Subaru. Normally, when you hear a six-cylinder boxer engine, the first to come to mind is the German automaker, famous for being the last brand to put an air-cooled engine in a high-performance sports car. Subaru is still sticking to flat-four engines for its models, but back in the golden era of Japanese sports cars, it introduced a six-cylinder boxer engine that could rival what Porsche had. The EG33 was the only flat-six Subaru engine to feature in a two-door coupe. It also served as a basis for future Subaru flat-six engines. In 2020, Subaru produced its last flat-six engine, but before that happened Subaru almost redefined the GT segment altogether, with a Porsche-sounding Subaru, powered by a flat-six.

Porsche promised to keep the 911 internal-combustion-powered for as long as possible, but in 2024, we were introduced to the first hybrid 911. While many Porsche fans were worried about the direction the iconic sports car took, Porsche put those trepidations to rest by schooling everyone on how to make a hybrid sports car without ruining it. Porsche was wise to keep electrification to a minimum, unlike other carmakers like Mercedes, which turned its AMG SL and AMG GT models into heavyweight bruisers in their range-topping 63 S E Performance variants. Those are now plug-in hybrids although they don’t boast a particularly high electric range – just 8 miles. Porsche decided to take a different approach with the 911, by developing an entirely new hybrid powertrain, revolving around a flat-six engine, internally dubbed the 9A3B6 engine. Here’s everything you need to know about Porsche’s clever, new T-Hybrid system.

Let’s be honest, most "gaming" peripherals these days, are about as subtle as a neon pink Lambo rolling through a retirement community. But the AOC AGON Pro PD27S isn’t here to play those gaudy games. This 27-inch monitor boasts a QHD resolution, a silky smooth 170Hz refresh rate, and enough visual fidelity to make your in-game enemies weep. Oh, and it’s designed by Porsche. Yeah, that Porsche. Now Porsche isn’t a brand that you often associate with affordable, but for the next 10 hours, this gaming monitor represents just that, exceptional value. Here’s why.
