Porsche is pitching its initial public offering as a chance to invest in a company that combines the best of carmaking rivals like Ferrari NV and luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton. The problem is, not all investors are buying it. In early meetings with portfolio managers, the Volkswagen AG unit compared itself to the […] July 17, 2022 at 02:05AM

FRANKFURT, March 9 — Volkswagen’s luxury division Porsche will suspend production of its electric Taycan model at the group’s Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen plant until the end of next week, the company said in a statement, citing a lack of components. This means that about 200 Taycan cars cannot be built per day, Porsche said. However, production at […] March 10, 2022 at 07:35AM

LISBON — Rough waters forced authorities on Wednesday to postpone a salvage operation for a ship packed with luxury cars that have been on fire for a week in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a port official said. With teams unable to board the Felicity Ace, heavy tug boats sprayed water to cool the […] February 24, 2022 at 06:20AM

LISBON — Heavy tug boats on Tuesday sprayed water on a burning ship carrying thousands of Porsches and Bentleys adrift off the coast of Portugal’s Azores islands, the ship’s manager said in a statement. The Felicity Ace, carrying around 4,000 vehicles including Porsches, Audis and Bentleys, some with lithium-ion batteries, caught fire on Wednesday last […] February 22, 2022 at 07:41PM

Porsche was out testing its 2023 LMDh racer earlier this week, providing some of the clearest images yet of the complete car. The evaluation, conducted with partner Penske Racing, covered some 1,200 miles over a period of several days at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona. Porsche says that the goal was to hone the […] February 20, 2022 at 07:36AM

Audi and Porsche are recalling more than 32,000 sedans, coupes and SUVs from the 2020 and 2021 model years to address a rear axle alignment issue that may have been introduced by a previous defect-related repair.  This campaign covers at least a few of virtually every Audi vehicle manufactured in 2021, 2020 and in the […] February 07, 2022 at 08:48PM

A claim for the title of “Fastest Car in the World” might seem easy to settle. It’s actually anything but: Are we talking production cars, race cars or customized monsters? And what does “fastest” even mean? For years, car publications have tended to define “fastest” in terms of an unbeatable top speed. That’s distinct from […] February 02, 2022 at 07:30PM

It is a strongly held belief in the Porsche Heritage and Museum department, that no two visits to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen should be the same. This means that the exhibition is continually being updated and made more interactive. In recent months, the team has been working hard on the prologue, which provides an […] January 12, 2022 at 07:56AM

Last year, spy photographers at the Nürburgring began reporting frequent sightings of a current-generation Porsche 911 prototype with a ducktail spoiler. By April of this year, the prototype having shed enough camo to reveal sheetmetal details, we were finally able to peg it as a new version of the 911 Sport Classic. Motor Trend reports […] November 12, 2021 at 07:38AM

Even as the world buys more and more SUVs, sedans remain popular enough, and people still like to combine four-door practicality with driving fun. And buyers looking to do that are spoiled for choice. So we’ve rounded up our picks for best sport sedans to help you with your shopping. Listed alphabetically, this list addresses […] November 12, 2021 at 06:48AM

Here in the United States, we enjoy power almost as much as we like our SUVs. Thankfully, we’ve got plenty of both. Traditionally, the most powerful SUVs source their massive horsepower and torque from some form of a V8. While that’s still generally the case, electrification comes into play more and more, whether it’s mild-hybrid […] November 11, 2021 at 06:24AM

It can be easy to be dismissive of Porsche interiors. Sometimes the standard cabin feels like an afterthought compared to performance. That’s fine, I’ve told myself, just think of Porsche as a sports car maker rather than a luxury brand. You’re paying the big bucks for a super-dynamic car or SUV. And, sure, you can […] October 21, 2021 at 07:38AM

Confirming a long-standing rumor, Porsche announced that the RS version of the track-focused 718 Cayman GT4 is around the corner. It’s much quicker than the model it’s based on, we’re told that it weighs less, and it gains a specific body kit that provides additional downforce. So far, the only figures released by the Stuttgart-based […] October 21, 2021 at 07:38AM

Last year, Porsche announced a “concept study” of what it called a “3D-printed bodyform full-bucket seat.” The unit looks like a fancy Porsche bucket seat with pockets where a latticed material shows through, that lattice being the reason for the press. Composed of three layers, the bottom layers is the same expanded polypropylene found in […] October 18, 2021 at 07:38AM

The all-electric Porsche Taycan outsold the German automaker’s iconic internal combustion-powered 911 sports car in the first nine months of the year, a milestone for the EV that was introduced in late 2019. The sales figures released Friday show that Porsche delivered 217,198 vehicles worldwide in the first three quarters, a 13% increase year over […] October 16, 2021 at 07:38AM

The rumors claiming that Porsche’s next-generation 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman will be electric are getting louder. Both models will reportedly run on batteries, but they’ll drive a lot like the current-generation models thanks in part to a clever packaging solution. Reportedly previewed by the Mission R concept (pictured), the next 718s will be underpinned […] October 05, 2021 at 07:38AM

Porsche is celebrating 30 years of the 968, one of its lesser-known entry-level models, in a rather unusual way. It joined forces with a Paris-based clothing company named L’Art de L’Automobile to give the car a drastic, street fashion-inspired redesign inside and out. Arthur Kar, the man who founded L’Art de L’Automobile, spent about a […] October 05, 2021 at 07:38AM

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, […] October 05, 2021 at 06:25AM
