In the fourteenth episode of 9:11 Magazine, the monthly video zine that runs precisely 9 minutes and 11 seconds, Porsche focused this entire issue on the new Taycan electric car. From the opening soliloquies with downhill ski racer Aksel Lund Svindal, through a dramatic video of Porsche's Taycan assembly line and a conversation with Taycan …

Elon Musk Throws Shade At Bill Gates For Buying A Taycan
Last week in an interview with noted tech vlogger Marques Brownlee, Bill Gates revealed that he had purchased Porsche's new Taycan electric sports sedan. It's a little bit disappointing that Gates pronounces Porsche as 'Porsh', but he's definitely a smart guy and I guess he can pronounce it however he wants. In his comments about the car, he …

Every once in a while we see headlines of one electric car or another bursting into flames. When you're trying to pack a lot of electrons into a battery, sometimes the chemistry inside turns unstable and a fire results. It's a very low percentage, and being that the Taycan is still brand new I'm sure there are still a few kinks to work out. This is …

Porsche Goes From Hero To Zero In Mexico Formula E Race
The highs and lows of motorsport are evident in Porsche's experience with the Mexico City E-Prix on Saturday. From the high of a pole position to start the race to the lows of one DNF and one penalty for a 'technical infringement' forcing another double non-points weekend for Andre Lotterer and Neel Jani. The 99X Electric really shows promise as a …

https://youtu.be/sUmc1JjKUis Though it may weigh a few pounds more than five thousand, it is still a proper Porsche. Compact yet brawny, and imposing, this Taycan Turbo S is a startlingly quick car that performs as, well, a Porsche should. Repeatable launches, muscle-straining acceleration, and a rigid platform that dances like something half …

Turbocharging did not gain the Boxster and Cayman any fans. The models kindly picked up 911 fans' spare derision when the transaxle cars left production in the mid-1990s, and have carried the torch of poor public perception from their predecessors. Real enthusiasts should only be buying 911s after all, or so the line goes. Despite having something …

With as much as 760 horsepower and 774 lb-ft of torque, the sleek and understated Taycan Turbo S could be called a sleeper. With four-wheel drive and a clever transmission to make the most out of the two electric motors' output, the Taycan Turbo S is absurdly fast. In fact, it's now Porsche's fastest accelerating road car—and it can seat four …

If you give a gorgeous Miami Blue Macan GTS to Henry Catchpole in Portugal, you're going to end up with an edifying and insightful video about the car in question, and because the Carfection crew is so good, it'll have delightful visuals and editing to boot. The real question here is whether or not the new Macan GTS is as good as the old one was. …

Being rear-engined does have some drawbacks. Even a 356, which carries far less weight aft of its rear axle, can have a penchant for bringing the tail around under certain conditions. As an avowed lover of the 356, you can only imagine the amount of jealousy I am feeling that Jalopnik's Jason Torchinsky even had the chance to spin an America …
