There are several companies set to join the LMDh prototype class in IMSA and FIA WEC next year, including Porsche, Audi, Acura, BMW, and Cadillac.

Here’s everything we know about Porsche’s new prototype race car
Here we are again, it's been a little over a decade since the announcement of Porsche's 919 Hybrid LMP1 program which won Le Mans three times and six FIA World Championship titles. That massive project ended on a high note almost five years ago now, so it's time for a new top-tier international prototype. This time, however, Porsche's new …

According to a recent report from Automotive News and The Drive, Porsche is developing a massive three-row SUV with a vertical rear tailgate codenamed Landjet. Don't get me wrong, Porsche Landjet is a super awesome name, and I hope something eventually gets that name, but do we really want a Porsche family hauler? Does anyone? Apparently Porsche …

Porsche has been threatening to build an all-electric two-seat sports car for years, building electrified Boxster and Cayman prototypes on 987 and 981 platforms, but never quite making it to production. After 25 years of the entry-level mid-engine platform, it's possible Porsche is about to tear up the script and rewrite it completely for the next …

Porsche doesn’t usually do extensive design changes for its vehicles’ mid-cycle refresh. In most cases, you need to look hard or get a magnifying glass to even see what’s been tweaked. This doesn’t seem to be the case for the updated 2023 Porsche Cayenne because there’s a lot more going on. Spy photographers caught the refreshed 2023 Cayenne …

Here's a weird one. Earlier this week the Porsche shown here was spied testing at the Nurburgring. It looks pretty much like a regular 992 Carrera 4S but it's sitting much higher on its suspension and has weird fender flare wheel arches. In the spy video below from StateSideSuperCars, this oddball 992 is powersliding all over the place, jumping …

I mean, why not? After spending your entire life racing very quick, lightweight, and unbelievably agile vehicles, your standards rise to stratospheric levels. For that reason, it grows harder and harder to enjoy a capable road car—even a very quick one—as it usually feels incredibly lethargic in comparison to that incisive single seater or …

Few people get a sense of how groundbreaking Porsche's cars are, as they so often blend into the background in a chic location. Nonetheless, the thought and innovation present in every one of their varied designs make Porsche a special marque. Even more so—some of their incredible cars didn't quite make the cut, and here are a few of those special …

I love the Boxster Spyder in all its iterations. The 987 Spyder was a very focused and lovely lightweight machine with very few compromises. The 981 Spyder we drove back in 2015 was sublime, certainly ranked among the best Porsche road-going sports cars ever made. Thanks to this series of photographs taken near the Porsche factory gates in …

Porsche first introduced the world to the Mission E Concept Study back in September of 2015. Then, less than 3-months after its introduction we learned that it received a green light for production and the first 100% electrically powered Porsche would be coming to market sometime before the end of this decade.
