The Latest Breaking News from Zuffenhausen

Porsche Swears the Cayenne Electric Hides Its Gigantic Weight

At 5,831 pounds (2,645 kilograms), the Cayenne Electric is Porsche’s heaviest production vehicle ever. As you can imagine, a good chunk of that heft comes from the gargantuan 113-kWh battery, which weighs 1,322 lbs (600 kg) on its own. In its early days, Zuffenhausen had an entire car that weighed…

Porsche Loves the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: 'They Made It Really, Really Good'

Hyundai has certainly come a long way in the past few decades, if even mighty Porsche speaks highly of the Seoul-based automaker.

Porsche Races 918 Spyder Against the Electric Cayenne

It’s hard to believe 12 years have passed since Porsche revealed the 918 Spyder.

The New Porsche Macan GTS Is Electric

The Porsche Macan Electric is outselling the gasoline model this year, partly because the ICE version is no longer sold in the European Union.

The Porsche Cayenne Electric's Interior Is an Ode to Screens

Porsche’s recent decision to reinvest in combustion engines shows that EV adoption isn’t progressing as quickly as Zuffenhausen had hoped. Even so, the renewed focus on traditional drivetrains isn’t derailing plans for an electric Cayenne. It’s still on track for a reveal later this year, and in the meantime, we’re…

It's Happening: Porsche Confirms New Gas Boxster and Cayman

Porsche raised plenty of eyebrows in 2022 when it pledged to make the 718 fully electric at the expense of its gas models.

Porsche Confirms New Gas SUV for 2028 Launch

Porsche discontinued the original Macan in Europe last year, not because it wanted to, but because it had to. The gasoline crossover failed to meet the General Safety Regulation (GSR2) that came into effect in July 2024, forcing Zuffenhausen to pull the plug on its cash cow on the Old…

Porsche: New Cayenne 'Will Shape the Future of Electric Driving'

Porsche has not lost faith in electric vehicles. Even though Taycan sales fell 49 percent last year and continued to drop by 6 percent in the first half of 2025, Zuffenhausen is pressing ahead with its EV agenda. The company is encouraged by the early success of its second-generation Macan,…

Game Over: Porsche Is Ending Gas Boxster and Cayman Production

We knew this day would come, so don’t be too sad that Porsche is about to pull the plug on its gas-fueled 718 duo. The current-generation Boxster and Cayman have been on their deathbeds since last year, when the sports cars were retired from Europe due to stricter cybersecurity regulations.…

Is Porsche Delaying The Electric 718 and Three-Row SUV?

Porsche once dreamt EVs would make up over 80 percent of its annual sales by the end of the decade, a goal reaffirmed most recently in March 2024. However, that target is now looking increasingly unrealistic. Zuffenhausen has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to internal combustion by launching a first-gen Macan…

German Luxury Automakers Are Struggling in China

After decades of riding the sales gravy train, legacy premium brands face a harsh new reality in China. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche had a rough 2024, and the start of this year has been even more brutal. The posh trio saw double-digit declines in the first quarter, with Zuffenhausen taking…

Porsche's New 911 Flagship Will 'Raise the Bar'

The sports car segment may be shrinking, but the legendary 911 bucks the trend. Porsche delivered 50,941 sports cars last year, which is slightly more than the Panamera and Taycan combined. With the 992.2 just coming out, the future looks bright for the iconic rear-engined machine from Zuffenhausen. According to…

Porsche Is Considering a New Gas SUV

The Macan has given Porsche a license to print money ever since the crossover came out in 2014. More than 800,000 units have been sold to date, but the vehicle is slowly dying. It has already been pulled out of Europe because of new cybersecurity regulations. In 2026, the first-generation…

After Porsche launched the updated 911 GT3 last month, we’re now waiting for the revised RS to break cover.
