Dua Lipa is the new face of Porsche's electric Macan

The pop icon helped in co-creating the Macan ad, bringing her unique style to the project

The ad's director previously worked on Pharrell Williams' "Happy" video.

The commercial showcases the Macan EV in diverse settings, from urban streets to the racetrack

The ad also includes unconventional sequences like a moon landing

A scene with an elephant running next to the Macan alongside horses, looks like it is straight out of classic Hollywood Western

Lipa's involvement is seen as a fresh approach to luxury car advertising, and seeks to capture the adventurous spirit associated with Porsche

The ad's style differs from Porsche's classic, witty print campaigns from the 1970s and '80s

The top-spec all-electric Macan boasts impressive specs, including 640 horsepower and a 381-mile range

Porsche hopes the collaboration will appeal to a younger audience and its future in electric mobility

The Tourbillon has the classic Bugatti silhouette with the horse-shoe grille, Chiron-like headlights, dihedral doors

The rear end is inspired from the Bugatti La Voiture Noire

The Nevera is unlike anything you've seen. Its design is brand new and it looks sportier than the Tourbillon.

However, from some angles, it could remind you of a McLaren 570S

The Tourbillon, like its predecessors, it oozing luxury inside, but the clock-inspired instrumentation steals the show

The Nevera's cabin is beautiful and luxurious as well, but not quite as otherworldly as the Bugatti.

There are a trio of displays inside, including one for the passenger

California-based Signer Vehicle Design has been building resto-mod Porsches for over a decade

Singer chose the Porsche 964 as the base car for all its projects as it perfectly bridges the classic and modern traits of air-cooled 911s

Singer's first car is an epic remake of the original Porsche 911, from 1964

Singer's obsession with making the perfect classic 911 has resulted in the most exquisite automotive art. So far, Singer has produced 4 models in limited quantities

All Singer cars' powertrain are based on Mezger's last air-cooled engine

The Singer DLS - "Dynamic Lightweight Study" builds upon Singer's first model - the Classic.

The engine in the Singer DLS is an upgraded variant of the Singer Classic's 3.8-liter, air-cooled flat six

The naturally-aspirated boxer engine in the Singer DLS makes 503 hp instead of the Singer Classic's 350, making it the most powerful air-cooled Singer

At just 2,180 lbs, the 503-hp Singer DLS boasts a better power-to-weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron

Singer's third car is a remake to the original 930 Turbo, which was dubbed the Widowmaker

The 3.8-liter flat-six is still air-cooled, but now features twin-turbochargers

Singer Turbo features electric wastegates to reduce turbo lag, which was a known feature on the original 930

Singer made two variants of the Turbo - one with 450 hp and a sportier,510-hp variant

Singer's most radical model aims to reimagine the 934/935 Porsche race car from the 1970s

All Singers, including the Turbo DLS, feature carbon-fiber bodies, designed from scratch to the smallest detail

The 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six in the Singer Turbo DLS makes 700 hp

The Singer DLS Turbo features water-cooled cylinder heads, similar to the Porsche 959

Porsche aimed to be an 80% electric brand by 2030 but is scaling back its EV sales targets

This comes in the wake of an industry-wide slowdown of EV sales, with several automakers including Tesla feeling the heat

Potential reasons for slow EV sales include range anxiety and lack of reliable charging stations

However, Porsche continues to electrify its lineup with the Macan joining the Tacyan as the second all-electric model

Porsche will soon introduce an electric replacement for the 718 Cayman and Boxster

Prototypes of the all-electric Cayenne have also been spotted

With this slowdown, Porsche will hopefully continue to keep the 911, gasoline-powered flat-six engine

The 911 enjoys a cult-following and Porsche has reiterated that it will do whatever it can to extend its life with ICE

This means the prospect an all-electric 911 is highly unlikely, this decade

However, with an all-out 2035 ban on gasoline-powered vehicles, Porsche has no choice but to electrify its entire lineup

Porsche is also experimenting with E-Fuels and Hydrogen

As for EVs, current sales data shows that Taycan only makes up 5.67% of Porsche sales globally

With a long line of Porsche EVs in the pipeline, the German brand will need to adopt a strategy based on customer demand

For now, Porsche will continue to offer gasoline, hybrids, and electric cars.

The original Cayenne offered multiple powertrains, including a base V6, a naturally aspirated V8, and a twin-turbo V8

So, if you're in the market for a used Cayenne, you need to keep a few things in mind before you make your purchase

The Gen-1 Cayenne is around two decades old, and its design and technology are now ancient

In order to keep things fresh and updated, you can consider some performance, visual, and some inexpensive tech upgrades

Yes, the Cayenne's interior is very early 21st century, but you can swap out the stock head unit for a modern one that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

If your Cayenne came with H7 Halogen bulbs, you can swap them out for plug-and-play LED bulbs

Mechanically, you need to check on things that are prone to wear and tear

Suspension bushing, control arms, shock absorbers, and brake rotors should be swapped for new units, if you want the optimum performance

You can fit in a cold air intake which will help keep the engine temps optimal. Just make sure you run by a mechanic to check for unusual engine noises

Besides Porsche, Subaru is one of the few automakers to embrace boxer engines, and this is the EG33 flat-six mill

It was based on the EJ-series flat-4 engines and is popular as an inexpensive option for Porsche engine swaps

The EG33 engine features thick cylinder walls, and has a sound profile that's similar to Porsche's air-cooled flat-six

Unfortunately, the EG33 engine was mated to a slow and unreliable, 4-speed automatic

Luckily, manual conversions are available and easy to perform

The EG33 was only used in the 1991-1996 Subaru Alcyone SVX coupe

Italian connection: The Subaru SVX was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign

The McLaren F1-esque side windows were more of a "form-over-function" design element

All Subaru SVXs feature a two-tone exterior from the factory

Despite the canopy-inspired roof, the sunroof does not feature a glass

Similar to a Porsche 993, the Subaru SVX featured a lightbar connecting the taillights

With a drag coefficient of 0.29, the wedge-shaped Subaru coupe could make the most of the flat-six's 220-250 hp, and reach a top speed of 154 mph

Subaru SVX was meant to be a grand tourer, and featured lots of Alcantara inside the cabin

There was almost a shooting brake model, dubbed the Amadeus, based on the SVX and using the same flat-six engine

The Porsche 911 is probably a driving enthusiast's dream car. While being potent, it can also be a rather practical vehicle considering its class

While the frunk of the 911 is deeper than most rear-engined cars, it is mostly occupied by factory accessories and equipment that come with the car

The best way to manage the frunk is to make a partition, a false floor, and separate the emergency kits, and tools from the rest of the cargo area

YouTube channel Fickst It! has found a solution to this D.I.Y. project

Before watching the video, you need to get some cardboard, a spray adhesive, and a black floor mat

First, you need to fit in cardboard and align it to fit the contour's of the frunk

Next, you have to cut a particle board in the shape of the cardboard and place it in the trunk to check for measurements

Following this, you need to wrap the particle board with the black carpet and stick it with the spray adhesive

Once done, you stash the lower compartment with the essential kits and tools, then insert the board over them

With the false floor in place, you've essentially, increased the usability of the amount of space available to you in the frunk.
