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

The Porsche Cayenne received a facelift for the 2024 model year and it looks sportier than before

The facelift updated the interior as well which now has a fully digital driver's display which replaces the older analog center tachometer

However, we'll focus on the most efficient PHEV model which is the base Cayenne E-Hybrid

Just like the standard gas-powered Cayenne, the E-Hybrid packs the same 3.0-liter turbo V6.

This V6 is slightly detuned compared to its gas-only counterpart

Together, with the help of an e-motor, the hybrid powertrain cranks 463 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque

The electric motor situated between the V6 and the 8-speed gearbox is powered by a 25.9 kWh battery pack, which is 8 kWh more than the outgoing model had to offer

Porsche claims that the Cayenne E-Hybrid can travel without the combustion engine for 56 miles of all-electric range

To charge the battery pack, Porsche offers an 11 kW AC charger, which will take about 2 hours 15 minutes to fully top it up

While EPA figures for the 2024 Cayenne E-Hybrid aren't out yet, it's safe to predict it's going to return better efficiency than the model it replaces

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

How does the Macan EV 4 compare to the upcoming Audi Q6 e-Tron for 2025?

The Macan EV adopts Porsche's design language with signature design elements like the four-point headlights

The Q6 e-tron, like a typical modern Audi, looks sharp and sporty, thanks to the sleek LED headlights and the rear lightbar that features OLED tech

The Porsche Macan EV is a clear departure from the gas-powered models, taking inspiration from the Porsche Taycan

The Audi Q6 e-tron comes in both Coupe and traditional SUV body-styles

The Porsche Macan EV, on the other hand, is available only as a coupe, making it look sportier than the gas-powered model

Inside, the Porsche Macan EV gets standard leather upholstery, heated front seats, a 12.6-inch driver's display, and a 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display as standard

In case of the Q6 e-tron, the cabin features a squared-off steering wheel, an 11.9-inch driver's display, and a 14.5-inch infotainment display, which are OLED displays

Powertrain-wise, the Porsche Macan 4 packs dual-motors, cranking 402 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque

The Audi Q6 e-tron Quattro features the same dual-motor setup, but cranks an impressive 456 hp

Both the Macan 4 and the Q6 e-tron Quattro underpins the same 100 kWh battery pack that supports 270 kW DC fast charging

The Porsche 928 never replaced the 911 but it almost led to a sedan way before the Panamera

It was a four-door Porsche 928 study that, eventally, led to the 989 sedan concept

The 989's design was inspired by the 911, but featured an FR layout

An all-new, 80-degree V-98 was developed that would have destroyed the BMW M5 and Mercedes 500E, at the time

Due to financial trouble and the 928's decline in sales, we did not get a 4-door Porsche sedan until the 2009 Panamera

Meanwhile, Porsche's 4-door SUV was successfull enough to save the company from bankruptsy

The future of the Panamera could be similar to that of the 989

In 2024, Porsche discontinued the Panamera Sport Turismo

While Panamera sales are on the decline, the Taycan continues to be a popular performance EV

Porsche may have another EV sedan in the making

In 2015, Porsche introduced the Pajun Concept, which was intiially meant to be a hybrid

The Pajun was initially delayed until 2019, but it may come out in the next few years, following other new Porsche EVs

The Porsche 911 will remain gasoline-powered until early 2030 and we can only expect an 911 EV in the next decade

A two-door Taycan could fill the gap for those seeking a sleek and luxurious all-electric coupe

A render by 2NCS offers a glimpse of what a two-door Taycan might look like

The side profile is striking, with two doors and a window line reminiscent of the 911

2NCS opts for a sporty design with blacked-out wheels and contrasting gloss black accents

Porsche's signature four-point LED headlights and an aggressive body kit enhance the sporty look

GT3 RS-style vents in the front fenders add a unique touch

Porsche's expertise in electric vehicles could translate into a remarkable two-door coupe with little to no competition

A two-door Taycan could in theory compete with a high-performance electric coupe like the upcoming 2028 Piëch GT

As a grand tourer, range and charging times will be a vital metric

Thankfully, Porsche has made some massive strides in this area, and 300 miles on a single charge is now a possibility

Even in more performance-infused RS Cayman/Boxster variants, the mid-engine Porsche 718 is meant to be an entry-level sports car for Porsche

The 718 range tops out with the naturally-aspirated GT4 RS, which shares an engine with the 992 GT3 RS

The Cayman and Boxster are simply a bridge between the base 718 models and the 911 lineup, hence omitting a Turbo variant

For 2026, the mid-engine Porsche goes EV, and so far, we have three known variants

The 718 base, 718 S, and 718 GTS - the latter is the only one that costs over $100,000

That said, Porsche is also slapping "Turbo" badges to EVs like the Taycan and Macan

So, a Porsche 718 Turbo EV cannot be ruled out just yet

A combustion-powered Porsche Cayman/Boxster Turbo could ruin the 911 Turbo for die-hard fans

A smaller, lighter, mid-engine Porsche with the 992 Turbo S engine could spell trouble for the iconic, rear-engine model's top variant

A combustion-powered Cayman Turbo will not be made, at least not by Porsche

Car covers are essential for protecting cars, especially high-end models like the Porsche Taycan

Generic covers are available at affordable prices, but Porsche offers branded options, starting at $379

But the "electric" Design indoor car cover is a unique and stylish option as it features a futuristic printed-circuit board design

The cover is made of a breathable, antistatic, and dirt-resistant material

The print highlights Porsche's signature four-point LED lights

The prints also mimic a red light bar, a Mission E concept car wheel pattern, and the Taycan name

The cover is available for various Taycan models, including sedan, Cross Turismo, and Sport Turismo

While it may be more expensive than generic covers, the unique design and features make it a worthwhile investment. Swipe up to find out how much it costs.
