A paragon of good taste and driving enjoyment, the Porsche Macan is easy to recommend to nearly anyone shopping for a compact luxury SUV, but this near-universal praise hasn’t stopped the hallowed German automaker from improving the breed. On Thursday, Porsche debuted the new, all-electric 2024 Macan, which ditches cylinders for battery cells yet …

Porsche invests heavily in electric car charging company ABB E-Mobility
The unfortunate truth about electric vehicles and charging infrastructure here in the U.S. is that Tesla is still far and away the best vehicle charging experience on the road. Nobody even comes close. The CCS-style 'EVSE' units are clunky and difficult to connect, and often are just plain broken. It makes a luxury experience—like owning a Porsche …

We know that the next-generation Boxster and Cayman will be electric, that's a foregone conclusion. We've seen the preview with the Mission R concept (above). We've seen the electric Boxster prototypes out testing (below). And Porsche has pretty much said that is going to be the case, but hasn't yet shown off the production-ready testing version of …

Porsche hasn't had a product line-topping hypercar since the 918 went out of production more than seven years ago, and the Carrera GT had been around roughly a decade prior. So if Porsche launches a new hypercar every decade or so, it's probably about time for the company to begin developing its next. In a recent interview with CAR Magazine, …

If you are reading this thinking, “there has been a lot of spy shots lately" you'd be correct. Porsche is quickly working on developing and shipping several new high-profile vehicles. Today, the spy photographers caught what will ultimately be the 2025 electric Porsche 718 Boxster. That's right, the next Boxster is all-electric. Of course, we …

More than a year ago we told you that the Electric Macan was "nearly here". The lie detector test determined that was a lie. We didn't know it was a lie back then, of course. We assumed that the car was going to be ready for prime time late in 2022 for an early 2023 delivery. As with pretty much every new car of the last two years, for one reason …

Call it a Taycan XL or a luxury sedan version of Porsche's upcoming 7-seater SUV, the next Panamera looks like it could be an all-electric large sedan. Based on the same SSP platform that will be the basis for Porsche's upcoming 7-seater EV—and the next-generation Taycan coming later this decade—the next Panamera is already in testing, …

When Porsche launched the Cayenne in 2003 enthusiasts heralded it as the death of the brand, an end of an era. At the time sports car manufacturers didn't dabble in luxury soccer parent vehicles, and certainly Porsche wouldn't stoop quite so low. Nearly two decades later, the Cayenne remains Porsche's most successful model, and the Macan has proven …

We stand at a turning point for Porsche as it hurtles toward an all-electrified future. There is a fork in the road for the brand's most successful model in history, the Macan. You see, next year Porsche is set to introduce abrand-neww all-electric Macan, and by all indications it will be a really good one. But the current gasoline-powered Macan …

It's fair to say that we got pretty excited when the new Taycan GTS launched in a Sport Turismo body style, giving us the wagon back functionality of the Cross Turismo with the smooth and low and sporty look of the Taycan sedan. We instantly fell in love with the looks and driving dynamics of the GTS, but we write about cars for a living and …
