Porsche

Born from Porsche’s shattered F1 dreams, the Carrera GT is considered one of the last truly analog supercars of the early 2000s and when I say analog, I genuinely do mean it. This thing had traction control and ABS, and that’s it. No fancy stability control to save you from your own stupidity.

The Porsche 911 has always had a myriad of versions, ranging from sporty grand tourers and supercar slayers to all-out track weapons. While the Turbo is the most recurring name when it comes to high-performance Porsche 911s that you can daily drive, there is another model that takes the usable sports car formula and makes it meaner. I am, of course, referring to the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which is essentially a more powerful, turbocharged GT3 RS. The GT2 RS is the most powerful variant of the Porsche 911 lineup with the exception of the GT1, but we haven’t had one of those in a while.

The Porsche Panamera has always been a bit of a unicorn in the luxury sedan world. It’s a proper driver’s car that just happens to have four doors. And when it comes to engines, the Panamera offers something for everyone. Fancy a smooth V6? They’ve got it. Craving a rumbling V8? Step right up. But if you’re looking to save some fuel without sacrificing performance, the E-Hybrid models are where it’s at. And if you really want to blow your socks off, there’s the Turbo S E-Hybrid with a whopping 771 horsepower.

Let’s face it, the standard Porsche 992 GT3 RS is already a track monster. It’s a car that thrives on pushing limits, begging to be unleashed on the world’s most demanding circuits and race tracks. But for some drivers, "enough" is never enough. Enter the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR, an extreme machine set to be unleashed by the combined might of Porsche and their long-time racing partner, Manthey Racing. I’ve been following the development of this car closely for a while now, and am absolutely blown away by the sheer amount of engineering that’s gone into it. Not too long ago, an un-camouflaged white prototype was spotted at the Nordschleife, giving us an up-close look at the possible performance upgrades that Manthey is cooking up. Based on what I’ve seen in the spy shots from CarSpyMedia, I wanted to highlight some of the features of this performance racing kit.

Every Porsche 911 has its fair share of special editions. These have become more frequent, especially with the newer generations of the German sports car and the 992 is no exception. In 2024, Porsche marked 50 years of the original, 1974 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo, and naturally, a special variant of the current model was in order. These models are highly sought-after by collectors due to their historical significance and their limited production numbers. In the case of the 2024 Porsche 992 Turbo S 50 Years edition, just 1974 will be made. Naturally, Porsche will ask a pretty penny for the 50th anniversary edition.

Some might scoff at the idea of a Porsche with four doors and an engine up front. But drive the 2025 Panamera, and you’ll quickly realize it shares more than a few genes with its legendary 911 cousin. First unveiled at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, the original Panamera raised eyebrows with its distinctive sloping roofline and – dare I say it – bulbous rear end. Yet, it was undeniably a Porsche, with a luxurious interior and a bunch of powerful engine options that made it a proper driver’s car.

Something special caught my eye as I was browsing Bring-A-Trailer the other day, a special 911 Speedster with an interesting ownership story. The 1989 911 Speedster is a pretty rare car by itself, with only 823 examples produced. But the interesting thing that drew my attention was who the ex-owner of the car was - Walter Röhrl. That name is instantly familiar to those of us who are enamored with motorsports and the Porsche brand. The man is a two-time former WRC Champion and Porsche factory driver/brand ambassador.

There cannot be a car movie without a great selection of performance cars. Many sports cars have gained popularity through pop culture, whether it is the big screen or video games. Porsche’s iconic sports cars also have their place in pop culture, with more than a few being featured in famous blockbusters from the movie industry. That said, not all movie cars share the same fate, and oftentimes, cars get destroyed in movies. No Porsche can truly be classified as an affordable car and this goes double for the German automaker’s sports cars.

Man, if you’re a gearhead who goes weak in the knees at the sight of a well-maintained air-cooled Porsche, then Luftgekühlt 10 could have been your happy place. This year’s event, which went down at the iconic Universal Studios Backlot in L.A., celebrated a decade of this unique gathering and the 50th anniversary of the legendary 911 Turbo.

Cole Kessel is an A.I. artist, a part of a growing tribe of folks who use A.I. tools like Midjourney, clever prompts, and their imagination to create some truly incredible art. I have tried my hand at Midjourney and Adobe’s Firefly and I’ve gotta say, making your art look good is not as easy as typing in a bunch of words and hoping for the best. Cole uses a combination of Photoshop’s Generative fill feature and Midjourney to create some beautiful, bizarre Porsche-themed digital art. His latest work, which showcases hyper-realistic images of wrecked Porsches displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, highlights the perils of reckless driving. The reason he specifically chose Porshe was a recent 911 GT3 crash in the news. His latest work ’Drive-Safe’ digital exhibit showcases wrecked Porsche models, highlighting the dangers of reckless driving.

My Instagram feed rarely disappoints, and today, it seriously delivered. Jonny Lieberman from MotorTrend.com dropped a bombshell on Instagram from what appears to be a private event: The twin mad scientists and automotive designers, Iliya & Nikita Bridan behind California-based Oil Stain Lab are going to build 25 limited-edition examples of an ultra-lightweight mid-engined hypercar and they’re calling it the HF-11.

The Porsche Cayenne is an overachiever in a multitude of fields. The first generation of Porsche’s SUV was instrumental in keeping the sports car manufacturer afloat while the current-generation Cayenne is about as close as you can get to a sports car while still offering some off-road capabilities. Regardless of the model and platform, Porsches have mostly offered a great baseline for tuners to extract even more performance. There are more than a few notable names in the business, but few can match the long-term experience as well as MANHART.

From your average Joe on Pimp My Ride to Celebrity builds, I’ve seen a fair share of some truly outrageous creations from West Coast Customs over the past two decades. But this one is special. Why? Because it involves a Billionaire, yes, with a capital ’B’. But this is not just any Billionaire, but Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, yes the same dude who runs the likes of some of the biggest tech / social media companies on the planet in the form of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Zuckerberg along with his wife Pricilla Chan, posted some pictures of a stretched Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and a Porsche 911 GT3, on the very platforms that Mark runs, indicating that he may be a Porsche guy.

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.

Porsche introduced the 911 S/T, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the iconic sports car. Limited to 1963 units, a tribute to the launch year of the original 911, the S/T is a driver-focused special edition model. Porsche has designed the ultimate 911 combining the best technologies and features from other stalwarts in their line-up. Every review of the 911 S/T that I’ve read or seen has unanimously called it the greatest 911 if not, one of the greatest road cars ever. Now, I have compiled the best reviews from some of my favorite channels and presenters on YouTube, where each one of them has presented a unique perspective on the brilliance and historical significance of the 911 S/T.

Alright, folks, let’s get real for a second. Porsche. Without a doubt, the name conjures up images of sleek lines, precision engineering, and a price tag that could make your wallet weep. We all know the stereotype, right? A brand for doctors, lawyers, and trust fund babies. Safe. Maybe a little, dare I say...boring? But here’s the thing: after spending the last six months neck-deep in Porsche news, reviews, and some seriously heated forum debates, I’ve gotta say there’s so much more to the brand. So strap yourselves in, because I’m about to break down some cold facts about Porsche in 2024.

It’s sad that Porsche’s best-selling model isn’t its halo sports car, the 911, but a couple of jacked-up SUVs. Both the Macan and the Cayenne are Porsche’s biggest cash cows, the sort of models that make cars like the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder possible. The compact Macan is available in two flavors; Gasoline: starting at $62,000, and Electric: starting at $75,300. The bigger facelifted Cayenne starts at $84,700.

With the all-electric Porsche Macan now officially on sale and starting to hit U.S. dealerships, I wanted to take the opportunity to spec out the most expensive Macan EV possible. So I fired up the configurator and selected the top variant of the four available models (Base, S, 4S, Turbo), which is the Macan Electric Turbo, and went to town. Now before you judge me for the bold PTS color choice, (Speed Yellow - 0UB in case you were wondering), I want to clarify that this was just an exercise. I’m personally far more conservative and would choose something more understated and go with something like silver or navy blue at best. But with this one, I’ve tried my best to select the priciest options available in my quest to get a ballpark figure of the most expensive Macan electric on sale today, and here’s what I found.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is at the top of the food chain when it comes to fast Porsche sports cars, suited for daily use. The 992 Turbo S is mind-bendingly fast and able to embarrass plenty of more expensive models. The rear-engine sports car has always had a reputation for being relatively lightweight, refined, and usable as far as sports cars go. While the company continues to adhere to the same philosophy (for the most part), there is one dreaded aspect of the Porsche experience – the Porsche tax.

Porsche’s sports cars are rich in heritage and go back in time even beyond the iconic 911. While models like the Porsche 911 have always had a multitude of variants, meaning there is a version of the car for everyone, depending on what power levels, drivetrain options, or body style that you are after. The rear-engine Porsche is not the only high-performance model. In more recent times, the entry-level Boxster and Cayman models have been the go-to Porsche sports car for everyone who isn’t quite ready to part with 911 money. Some would even go as far as saying that the mid-engine Porsche is actually the better sports car and that the mid-engine layout is the superior platform.

The Porsche Panamera, on sale since 2009 is now in its third generation, and is one of two four-door sedans, that Porsche currently sells (the other being the Taycan EV). Now, Despite a slowdown in the sale of sedans, Porsche it seems will not back off from this format, anytime soon. The fact, that the German automaker announced the third generation Panamera as recently as 2023 with some much-needed updates and a lot more power throughout the range, shows that it is committed to this body style. 771 horsepower from the V8 hybrid Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid sounds wild, isn’t it?

Every car owner projects a certain image or lifestyle, and owning a certain model or brand comes with certain preconceived notions or stereotypes. We’ve all heard of the more popular ones like how BMW owners are unaware of turn signals or how Subaru owners are outdoorsy. Some stereotypes are weirder than others, like how every Mini Cooper owner must be a vegan, who knows where that got started?

The Porsche Cayenne recently got a few nice updates for 2025. While most will be looking towards the range-topping Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid, it is the new GTS trim that is the most pleasant surprise. The GTS is, typically, considered to be the perfect middle ground among all Porsche models as it combines the ideal blend of performance, comfort, and usable power levels. Despite the Cayenne GTS being one of the most athletic SUVs out there, a Sports Utility Vehicle can never offer the same thrills as a proper sports car like, let’s say the 911 Carrera GTS.
