We know that not everyone is a fan of electrified Porsches. For some, not having an internal combustion engine powering a Porsche is borderline sacrilegious. But the truth is, electrified Porsches are here to stay and you can expect many more BEVs and PHEVs from the German automaker for years to come. If you've accepted that Porsche's lineup is …

The best car battery chargers and battery maintainers
The pandemic lockdown of 2020 was a rude awakening for some car owners who didn't have a portable jump starter or car battery charger in their garage. After not driving their vehicles for a few weeks or longer, they realized their car's battery was dead and they had no easy way to get it going again. As expected, the market saw a huge jump in not …

Along with a new chassis and drivetrain for Porsche's next assault on the Formula E season, the team is doing a bit of shuffling of its driver lineup as well. While long-serving Andre Lotterer is headed over to the team's LMDh prototype efforts to spearhead the Le Mans program, his seat in Formula E alongside Pascal Wehrlein is empty. In order to …

If you're a Porsche fanatic with way too much money on your hands, and you want to have something a little more luxurious and special than an old smelly car built decades ago in Germany, Singer has been your go-to for over a decade now.

I know what you're thinking, "Okay, we get it, Porsche made the Taycan Turbo, it's electric, and it doesn't have a turbocharger. The joke is old, get over it." No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about here. This is something totally new and different, and like the Taycan, it's incredibly forward thinking and will make future Porsches even …

To truly understand how big an undertaking this year's Pikes Peak effort is from BBi Autosport, you have to go back a few years. BBi and team boss Betim Berisha first got hooked on the hill when the SoCal Porsche speed shop helped develop a wild turbocharged 997 GT3 Cup car for PPIHC legend Jeff Zwart back in 2014 and 2015. Fast forward a handful …

Porsche has a long history of racing at Pikes Peak, and equally a long history of winning on the mountain. 2021 returns with some unfinished business after BBi and David Donohue failed to reach the finish line with a flat tire in 2020 en route to what otherwise should have been the overall win. Last year the race was delayed and had a reduced field …

Carfection, as per usual, has the best produced and most insightful video reviews on the internet. They've returned with Henry Catchpole to review the Taycan Turbo S on the road. As we already knew, the Taycan is a certified good car, and gets the unofficial Carfection seal of approval. But what it doesn't do is take the place of an internal …

Derek Whitacre and I seem to have similar priorities. Not all fun performance cars need to be set up for the track. Give up a little bit of spring rate, retain a bit of carpet, and suddenly the usability factor goes way, way up. That's not to say Mr. Whitacre's 1982 911SC is a mild or modest machine. This Porsche was built to attack Mulholland …

Tesla rose to notoriety, at least in part, by building a huge cross-country network of super-fast charging stations, and offering their customers free use of those stations for a limited time. It was partially a marketing exercise to draw in clients with inexpensive operating costs. Even now that Tesla has saddled their entry-level Model 3 …
