Basically since the beginning of Porsche production, it has been running overflow excess capacity through the facility in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony which was at one point a Karmann-owned plant. Certain models of 356 were produced there, including the uniquely styled notchback coupe. Many 911 and 912 coupes were produced there between 1966 and 1971, …

Porsche aims for 80 percent of its new cars to be electric by 2030
Last fall we first reported that Porsche was working on an all-electric replacement for the current-gen 718 Boxster and Cayman sports cars. It sure seems like the Mission R concept unveiled last year is going to be more or less the formula for the new EV sports car from Porsche, likely sharing much of its powertrain and charging infrastructure with …

Porsche has a real hit on its hands with the current iteration of the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman, particularly in GTS guise. It's a phenomenal car, and that four-liter flat six really enhances the experience. As indicated by the Mission R concept, however, this generation may be Porsche's last powered by gasoline. According to a report by Germany's …

In what might be the longest and most drawn out move to electrified performance, the next-generation Boxster and Cayman will finally go all-electric.

OK, so maybe it's a little more of an open secret than a true secret, but the new Cayman GT4 RS has been spotted testing at the Nürburgring again.

The Boxster and Cayman are incredible pieces of the Porsche family, which already hold over 25 years of mid-engine history. The "entry level" sports car family is important to Porsche, as it allows people to not only join the Porsche faithful for around $60,000, but it gives customers a stepping stone to experience the brand before getting into a …

Porsche's four-liter mid-engine drop-top has been a massive international hit for the company. With a reactive naturally-aspirated engine, gobs of torque, a sublime chassis, and open air motoring, it's one of the best sports cars to ever leave the factory. For the Chinese market, Porsche's biggest market, it holds a problem, however. Under China's …

Three cars with similar silhouettes, sizes, and power outputs. Yet, the difference between them is enough to write a few pages on. If a balanced and reassuring road car is what you're after, the mid-tier Cayman has its own charm. Though each generation has its own unique blend of charms and foibles that create very distinct driving …

Big wings, a gaping maw, the right amount of badging, and an exhaust note that sounds the business. All these qualities solidify the impression of aggression this car leaves on anyone looking at it for more than two seconds. Oh—and its 414 horsepower also helps. It's a classic, unfiltered, intense sports car for someone in need of a rolling …
