Could Supply Chain Trouble Strangle Porsche’s Hybrid Panamera Supply?
Just a few days ago, Porsche issued a report stating that as much as 60% of Panamera customers, in some markets, are purchasing hybrid models. Between the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, there are two electrified models of Porsche's big luxury touring sedan to choose from, and they've both proven to be quite popular.

Porsche is in the process of investing 3-billion Euros in their electric future, so it would only make sense that they are interested in getting in on the electric CUV market by building a Macan-shaped Mission E. Based on what we know about Porsche, we're confident that "Mission E" is more than just a single model, it's a way of thinking, a …

Tesla came out swinging this week with a surprise announcement of their new full electric sports car, the Tesla Roadster 2. This is an open top four-seater four-wheel-drive runabout with some seriously impressive statistics. I'll remain skeptical of Tesla's claims until they've been proven by a third party, but they say the Roadster 2 will sprint …

Though Tesla's popularized the high-end electric vehicle and confirmed its performance potential, some still worry for the sports car's future when the combustion engine becomes a relic of the past.

Every year "Motor Trend" holds their "World's Greatest Drag Race". It's a who's who of supercars in a straight-line shoot-out. Not surprisingly, at least one Porsche is featured each year. However, in the 6 seasons "Motor Trend" has been producing this segment Porsche has only won once (back in 2014 a 911 Turbo S took home the win). That's not …

Prepping for their future wave of EV vehicles, Porsche recently put the first of their 350-kW DC-CS combination chargers into use last month. With the vision of dotting the European landscape—and presumably the American landscape, too—with thousands of stations using their rapid-charge technology, they filed an application to the U.S. Patent and …

Competition improves the breed, and Porsche is seeking greater competition. After 19 victories at Le Mans, including a hat trick of Le Mans victories in the last three years, and two successive WEC championships, Porsche is throwing in the towel in LMP1 in favor of Formula E. Porsche's GT program will continue unabated, as a high and diverse level …

Shortly after Porsche's Mission E was given the green light for production, we learned of a futuristic solar pylon under construction at the company's new Berlin office. At 25 meters high, and looking like something straight off the pages of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Porsche's photovoltaic monolith pylon conspicuously highlights Porsche's tireless …

Of all the Top 5 Series so far, I think this episode is my favorite. I love Porsche's concept cars and this video features one I didn't even know existed, a Cayenne Cabriolet. We've seen a Cayenne Cabriolet before in the aftermarket, but never something directly from Stuttgart. In this instance, I'm glad it remained as just a concept as I'm not …
