Porsche has done several concept cars over the decades, but here's what makes these 5, some of the most obscure ones ever

5. Porsche 965: Back in 1984, Porsche was developing a very different Porsche 911 Turbo

This 911 Turbo almost became V-8-powered. Some engines were considered, including a Mezger V-8 racing unit

The 965 resembled a 959, but was meant to be slotted under it. Financial difficulties killed the project

4. 1988 Porsche 989: It was the grandfather of the Panamera but wasn't the first time Porsche built a four-door sedan

The 989's fate was tied to the 928, which was axed due to slow sales

3. 1988 Porsche 969: This was a sports car designed to be the evolution of the 959 supercar

The Porsche 969 was meant to have more power than the 959 S' 508 horsepower. It would have carried most of the 959's tech over. A PDK was to be introduced too

2. Porsche Pajun: Back in 2015, Porsche was working on this scaled-down Panamera. It was postponed and eventually, we got the all-electric Taycan

1. Porsche C88: In the 1990s, Porsche were commissioned by the Chinese government to make an affordable vehicle for the masses. They ended up copying the design

It was powered by a 1.1-liter flat-4 and featured a 5-speed manual

EV sales have slowed recently, Porsche has revised its electrification strategy, initially aiming for 80% EV sales by 2030

But Porsche continues to develop new electric models while adapting to market challenges

The upcoming Cayenne EV is a cornerstone of this plan, which was slated for a 2026 launch

Porsche is extending the lifecycle of combustion-engine models by offering hybrids and ICE options alongside EVs, such as the gas Macan and hybrid Panamera

However, given the recent trends and shifting market dynamics, the Cayenne Electric might be delayed

The Cayenne EV will coexist with ICE versions to maintain sales and appeal to both traditional and EV buyers during the transition

The Cayenne EV will use an enhanced PPE platform shared with other models like the Macan EV and Audi Q6 e-tron, ensuring stability and high performance

A Prototype winter testing in Sweden hints at a sleek design with Macan EV-like lighting features and a pixelated light bar at the rear

With a starting price of $80,000, but further delays and market readiness could push the timeline to 2027.

While most Porsches are deserving of their reputation, the exclusivity of some has priced them out of reach, and here's why the following 10 models aren't deserving of the hype

10. The 992 Sport Classic is a de-tuned, RWD Turbo with a manual and limited production numbers

Inspired by the 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, the Sport Classic is $90,000 more expensive than the 992 Turbo while being less capable

9. The Porsche 944 Turbo is the peak evolution of what was meant to be a VW sports car

Unlike the 924, the 944 featured Porsche-built engines with up to 250 horsepower

Pristine 944 Turbo examples are in the six-digit figures, which makes it hard to justify

8. One of the most iconic 911s is not exactly a great driver's car

Rudimentary turbo technology made the 930 Turbo difficult to drive, even earning it the nickname "Widowmaker"

7. The 911 S/T is the most driver-focused 992, but it is a bit too pricey for what it offers

The 992 S/T is for the GT3 RS while the GT3 Touring is for the regular GT3

84 pounds lighter than the GT3 Touring and with bespoke suspension and steering setup

At $290,000, the S/T is $77,500 more expensive than the GT3 Touring. Is it worth it?

6. The 991 Speedster is a classic throwback to California-special, open-top sports cars

The 991 Speedster could be the last of its kind and prices reflect that

Under the hood is a GT3 RS engine with over 500 horsepower and a 9,000 RPM redline

5. Porsche Taycan quickly became one of the fastest-selling performance EVs

However, the hype was partially overshadowed by range and reliability issues... which Porsche sorted out free of charge

4. The latest range-topping Cayenne is a bit of a porker at 5,666 pounds

Less athletic than its predecessor, the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid's redeeming quality is the 45-mile electric range

3. The 997 is considered by many to be the best Porsche 911, but not all is great

The 997.1 Carrera featured the 996's unreliable engine and an old-school automatic more appropriate for a luxury sedan

2. The 2016 Porsche 911 R is a modern homage to a racing legend and one of the most driver-centric Porsches

The combination of speed, modern refinement, and classic feel have priced the 991 R out of existence for most

1. The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 could be the last of its kind, due to strict emission regulations

For the first time, the GT3 has not gained horsepower and peak torque is less

The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 is also $40,000 more expensive than the 2024 model, without offering a lot more in terms of performance

It's almost a decade since the first-gen Macan came out and Porsche's compact SUV offering, continues to remain popular

The new Macan Electric is here, but Porsche is still keeping the gas-powered Macan until 2026

For 2025, the Macan is available across four trim levels: Macan, Macan T, Macan S, and Macan GTS

Both the base Macan and the Macan T are powered by VW Group's tried-and-tested 2.0-liter turbo inline-4, producing 261 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque

On the other hand, the more potent Macan S and the Macan GTS feature a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, cranking 375 hp in the S guise and 434 hp in the GTS form

All Macan ICE models feature a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive

Design-wise, the gas-powered Macan remains more or less the same as the outgoing model. It gets LED lights, both at the front and rear, along with 19-inch alloy wheels

On the inside though, the Macan will remind you somewhat of the 991-gen 911 with its analog-digital gauges and the button-heavy center console

The 2025 Macan starts at $62,900 and goes all the way up to $89,000 for the range-topping GTS model

To learn more about how the gas-powered Macan compares against rivals like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, swipe up.

Porsche's entry-level crossover, the Macan, enters its second generation as an EV for the first time

While you still can buy the older gas-powered Macan until 2026, the Macan Electric is here to stay

The Macan Electric is available across four trim levels: Macan Electric Base (Single Motor), Macan 4 Electric, Macan 4S Electric, and Macan Electric Turbo

The Macan RWD is rated at 335 horsepower. The Macan 4 Electric produces 402 horsepower.

Stepping up to the 4S unlocks 509 horsepower. The top-spec Turbo Electric cranks 630 horsepower

All Macan Electric models feature a 100 kWh battery pack that supports up to 270 kW DC fast charging

If you’re lucky enough to find a charger that supports those charging speeds, it will only take about 21 minutes to go from 10 to 80 percent

If you're after more range, the most efficient would be the base Macan RWD with its expected 320 miles of range, followed by the Macan 4 with 308 miles of EPA-rated range

Design-wise, the Macan Electric is a stunning crossover. LED lights, 20-inch standard wheels, and the Coupe-like profile what make it appealing

No more scratchy plastics inside! The new Macan Electric should feel more posh than the gas-powered model

There's a 12.6-inch driver's display, a touchscreen infotainment system, and space to fit a 10.9-inch display on the passenger side

The Macan Electric starts at $75,300 and goes up to $105,300 for the Turbo Electric variant

You can even opt for the Offroad Design Package for $1,570, should you choose to give your Macan EV an off-road touch.

The four-cyinder Porsche 944 is an evolution of the 924

The two cars coexisted together between 1982 and 1988

The 944 Turbo came out in 1985 and quickly gained a reputation as one of the best-handing cars in the world

It was one of only four Porsche sports cars to feature a front-engine and a transaxle

Brembo brakes, and 50:50 weight distribution gave 944 Turbo drivers confidence, lacking in early 911 Turbos

The Porsche 944 Turbo was exclusively offered with a 5-speed manual transaxle and 3.375 final drive

Aside from the 1986 model year, all 944 Turbo models had ABS

Coupe models from 1990 and later featured a bow-shaped spoiler under the rear hatch

The cosy interior featured four sport seats, with the rear ones folding 50:50

All 944 Turbo models featured the newer interior that came with the 1985.5 update

With an average price of around $27,000, the 944 Turbo is a relatively attainable classic sports car

Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, revealed their new custom Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and a Porsche 911 GT3 on social media

Zuckerberg, known for his love of technology and mostly had a modest selection of cars like the Honda Fit and VW Golf GTI, as his daily drivers

The Cayenne Turbo GT minivan was a special request from Zuckerberg, who wanted a more practical vehicle for his family

The standard Cayenne Turbo GT is one of the most potent SUVs on sale today

It currently holds the Nürburgring record in the SUV class, with a time of 7:28.925, set in 2021

The coupe-like roofline on the standard car eats into the headroom, which is a five-seater with a bench

This stretched Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan courtesy of West Coast Customs, features a longer-wheel base, sliding doors and should make for an excellent family hauler

But how did they accomplish the carbon roof, which seems a bit pointless with this transformation

The Cayenne Turbo GT minivan complements Zuckerberg's Porsche 911 GT3, creating a matching pair of high-performance vehicles

The Cayenne Turbo GT minivan maintains the same powerful engine and advanced technology as the standard model

West Coast Customs has hinted at more upcoming projects with Zuckerberg. Watch this space.

Engaging driving dynamics and handling

Iconic Porsche sound with optional sport exhaust

Improved aerodynamics and stability

A sporty interior with superb comfort and modern technologies

Upright driving posture with adaptive sports seats

Two optional premium audio systems for an enhanced audio experience

Porsche's head of design recognizes the need for a smaller 911

The 912 could be the solution, but there is a catch

The original Porsche 912 was a four-cylinder 911, produced between 1965-1969 and 1975-1976

Early 912s were powered by the Porsche 356, 1.6-liter boxer engine

Models produced in 1975 and 1976 were dubbed the 912E, and were powered by a Volkswagen 2.0-liter engine

A revived Porsche 912 would make more sense as an EV

A four-cylinder, 911-like sports car would not be well-received by Porsche fans

And a scaled-down 911 will be an impossible fit for the wide boxer engine

Porsche is preparing to launch a few more EV models

If a 912 is among them, it would share hardware with the 718 EV

Swipe up to read more about the potential return of the Porsche 912

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

To find out where could a potential Taycan coupe fit into Porsche's current lineup and how much it could cost, swipe up.

Porsche first explored the concept of a wagon with the 928-4 concept car

I stumbled upon a 996-inspired wagon made with A.I. The wagon's design is impressive, with a unique glasshouse and wide rear end

The cargo space on the render though, appears to be similar to an Impreza Wagon. compared to boxier options like a Volvo V70R from that time

In the early 2000s, a sporty wagon would have been a desirable option for a middle-aged dad with a lead foot

Performance SUVs weren't around as the Cayenne was yet to make its debut, and choices for practical performance wagons were limited.

While Japanese automakers dominated the practical performance wagon market you had a few sporty options from European automakers

BMW E39 (540i), Audi (C5 RS6), and Volvo also offered sporty wagon options

Creating a Porsche wagon would involve significant engineering challenges, as seen with the Panamera. The engine placement in a sedan or wagon differs from a 911

Porsche has embraced the wagon format with both the Taycan and Panamera Sport Turismo models

While some dislike the 996's fried-egg headlights, there are affordable fixes available

While the 996's cabin was low-rent, a combination of performance and practicality would have made it a compelling choice.
