Porsche's first EV sports car will be the 983-generation 718. It's coming in 2025

Porsche is late to the EV sports car party, and unlikely competitors pave the way

Strangely enough, Porsche can take a look at what Hyundai and Toyota are doing to make EVs driver-centric

Hyundai's N e-Shift perfectly simulates an 8-speed transmission, which you can shift yourself

The system works by reducing the torque, relevant to the RPMs and selected "gear"

Toyota's system works similarly, but features a physical clutch pedal and a traditional, H-pattern shifter

Porsche will use a 3D-printed metal gearbox, instead of casting, as part of the effort to keep its first EV sports car lightweight

While no mention of a Porsche manual for EVs is mentioned, Porsche fans still crave the organic driving feel of a manual transmission

The Mission R Concept's E-Core layout attempts to replicate an ICE-powered mid-engine car, by placing the battery slightly higher, behind the driver

How Does The Latest Model S Plaid Stack Up Against The Taycan Turbo GT?

Brooks Weisblat Of DragTimes YouTube Channel Recently Had The Chance To Do A Head-2-Head Compaison

The Taycan Turbo GT's Dual Motor Setup Puts Out 1,019 HP And 988 Lb-Ft Of Torque

The Performance Weissach Package Reduces Weight By 154 Pounds

The Model S Plaid Features Tri-Motors Which Put Out 1,020 HP And 1,050 Lb-Ft Of Torque

Brooks Has Dragy Times For Both Cars, And The Tesla Narrowly Edged Out The Taycan Turbo GT (0.01 seconds)

He Also Has Comparative Times With The Model S Plaid With The Track Pack And The Turbo GT

The $20,000 Track Pack Includes Carbon-Ceramic Brakes, Aluminium Wheels, And Upgraded Tyres

While The Taycan Has Pedigree And Build Quality Going For It, Does It Justify The Near $140k premium?

The Porsche Macan EV starts at $75,300, still holding the title of the most affordable Porsche

Rear-wheel steering is standard only on some Macan trims - 4 and Turbo

Porsche's rear axle steering goes hand-in-hand with Porsche's Active Suspension Management (PASM)

Porsche rear-axle steering first appeared on the 2013 Porsche 918 Spyder

But it became more prominent in Porsche models after the 991 GT3

Actually, Porsche started developing a rear-wheel steering system in the 1970s, for the Porsche 928

The Macan EV and other modern-day Porsches feature a more sophisticated setup

Porsche's rear-axle steering is electro-mechanical and only adds about 22 lbs

Depending on the speed and conditions, the rear wheels turn opposite or in the same direction as the front ones

Porsdhe's rer-axle steering can reduce a car's turning circle by 600 mm - over 23.6 inches

Like all cars, the 911 has been getting larger and heavier with each generation

The Porsche 911 has grown from the original's 2,370 pounds to over 3,800 pounds in some variants

Porsche design boss, Michael Mauer talks about the possibility of a more compact 911

A more compact 911 is, indeed, possible, but it would, likely, be fully-electric

The 992 is already pushing the limits of packaging in terms of powertrain. E-motors are lighter and more compact

Solid-state batteries would ensure smaller and lighter battery pack without sacrificing range and performance

Porsche will not kill off the ICE-powered 911 like it doing with the 718

The two models could co-exist, but they would need to be differentiated in terms of design. Taycan-style front end on a 911 EV?

Porsche might consider a different name for the scaled-down 911 EV. Will the 912 return?

Porsche has some catching up to do on the hydrogen front, but can it have something better up its sleeve?

Porsche developed al all-new V-8 engine that runs on hydrogen

A simulation on the Nürburgring from 2022 showed that hydrogen can power engines with a high specific output

Porsche's hydrogen engine requires highly-efficient turbocharging, borrowed from motorsports

The 4.4-liter V-8 produced 590 hp while easily covering Euro 7 standards without "smog" equipment

Porsche's simulation results in 8:20:20 lap time around Nordschleife, with emissions near-identical to ambient atmosphere

FCEV, likely, won't be the way forward for Porsche since its EV models aren't selling as well as anticipated

Synthetic fuels and hybrid powertrains are Porsche's current focus

But with hydrogen production becoming more affordable, Porsche might rethink its stance on the green fuel

Swipe up for more details on where Porsche is at on hydrogen propulsion

We envision a cross between the Taycan and Cayenne models to be a Porsche van

VW, currently, has the I.D. Buzz, but it is too small to serve as a base for a Porsche van

The Taycan's J1 platform would be the perfect candidate to underpin a Porsche van

Taycan front fascia hints at the Porsche van being fully-electric

Cayenne design traits neatly fit the rear-end design of the hypothetical Porsche van

A more aggressively-styled design hints at a high-performance Porsche van

Mercedes did something similar with the R-Class, but it wasn't a sales hit

This is not the first time that Porsche has made a vam. In the 1980s, Porsche modified a VW T3 Bus, that featured a 911 flat-six

The VW I.D Buzz is only one reason why a Porsche van would, likely, never happen now

Kalmar is a Danish company that specializes in reimagined, classic 911s

The 7-97 E-Volt is Kalmar's fourth project and the first EV car

The flat-6 makes room for a Tesla Model S powertrain with 414 hp and 442 lb-ft

Thanks to lightweight materials, the 7-97 E-Volt is barely heavier than the 964 Carrera donor car

The 0-60 mph time is comparable to a 992.2 Carrera, at around 3.8 seconds

Everything about the Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt is about sustainability and low emissions

The aerodynamically-optimize body is inspired by the 1967 Porsche 911 R

The charging port is tucked away behind the rear license plate

The 7-97 E-Volt scores subtle modernities like LED headlights

Despite being electric, it comes with a physical key

An analog charge meter replaces the rev-counter

Leather and semi-aniline materials line up the old-school interior

It comes with a shifter, resembling modern-day PDK-equipped Porsches

Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt shows us what an EV 911 could be like

2025 brings an all-electric Macan, effectively doubling Porsche's mid-size SUV lineup

The Macan Electric is available in 4 variants: base, 4, 4s, and Turbo

But the Porsche Macan Electric 4S occupies the sweet spot in the range

Porsche Macan 4S Electric is only $9k more expensive than the base model and around $20k more affordable than the Macan Turbo Electric

With 442 hp - 510 with over-boost - 0-60 mph happens in 3.9 seconds

You also get up to 605 lb-ft of torque and the top speed is 149 mph

A low drag coefficient of 0.25 Cd contributes to an electric range of up to 376 miles WLTP

All EV Macan models get a 100 kWh battery pack that can charge to 80 percent in 21 minutes

The off-road design packages increases the Macan EV's ground clearance to 195 mm

Macan 4S Electric comes, as standard, with PASM, Porsche torque-vectoring, rear-axle steer, and self-leveling air-suspension

The front electric motor is identical to those used in other Macan Electric variants, including the Turbo

Porsche Macan Electric also scores the latest 4-point LED headlight design

Inside, you'll find the most premium theme of a non-turbo cabin, so no Turbonite badges

Porsche Works driver Pascal Wehrlein claims the 2024 Formula E Driver's Championship title in the season finale

Three drivers entered the London finale with a shot at the championship, separated by just 7 points

Starting 4th on the grid, Wehrlein displayed exceptional driving skills under pressure

While Evans and Cassidy initially led, strategic issues caused frustration and gave an advantage to Porsche

Eventually, a safety car bunched up the pack, placing all title contenders in the top 3

In the end, it was Porsche's strategy and teamwork that played a key role in securing the driver's championship

Despite prior race wins, team mate Da Costa prioritized supporting Wehrlein's efforts

Wehrlein secured second place in the final lap, putting him in a position to secure enough points to win the championship

With that Pascal Wehrlein becomes the first champion of Formula E's Gen-3 era

Porsche finished second in the Manufacturer's Championship with 451 points, behind Jaguar who secured 455 points

The Porsche 99X Electric has won 8 out of 16 races and the innovations & technologies featured will trickle down into Porsche road cars
