Jay Leno is no stranger to odd or obscure cars. And while he’s well-known for his classic car appreciation, as demonstrated by his restored Bronco, he’s also a big fan of EVs. He’s owned a Tesla for several years and had several positive things to say about the Mustang Mach-E. That being said, sometimes he …
Charging, arguably more so than battery capacity or chemistry, is one of the biggest limitations to widespread EV adoption. Supercapacitors could theoretically cut charge times, but they’re not production-ready. And although hydrogen fuel cells can refuel as quickly as ICE vehicles, the infrastructure isn’t there yet. New fast-charging stations, and fast-charging EVs like the Porsche …
Porsche’s current reputation has much to do with the iconic 911. It’s evolved from a simple sports car into something that can out-accelerate and out-handle some supercars. And classic 911s aren’t some delicate garage display, either. Singer restores them into over-engineered works of art, for one. And for another, it was the 911’s presence in …
Now that they are almost extinct do we conclude station wagons are the perfect vehicle? A wagon can do most anything a pickup or SUV can without the high-riding truck-ness most think they need. Yet, as pickup and SUV sales continue to climb we are almost out of any wagons offered by manufacturers. So, to …
Electric cars are here, and their popularity among consumers is growing. What may have started with a Tesla initiative has now inspired an EV movement among many other manufacturers. Not to be outdone, Porsche introduced the Taycan Turbo last September. This car certainly caught everyone’s attention and offered a stunning design. But, much to Porsche’s …
Porsche recently launched its long-awaited, all-electric and high-performing supercar, the Porsche Taycan, and the world is on pins and needles. Though an electric Porsche is hard to imagine, experts say it delivers. And its biggest competition from electric innovator Tesla should expect rivalry. But on the road, which one will truly dominate: Tesla or the …
The 914 Porsche was the entry-level Porsche that most enthusiasts thought was really a VW. Porsche built over 115,000 914 models between 1970 and 1976, so it’s not even especially rare. You won’t believe the asking price for this 914. How about a million-dollar asking price? First, this is a 914/6 which is a completely …
Although range anxiety is dying down, when it comes to electric trucks, a big battery pack is still important. Especially when towing gets involved. However, not every manufacturer subscribes to the idea. Porsche’s Taycan, for example, can only do about 200 miles on a charge, Road & Track reported. And Mazda purposefully gave its upcoming …
The Porsche Macan is the most popular Porsche sold in the US. With sales of almost 21,000 in 2019 without the December data in yet, Porsche has been looking to offer more versions. Now, it will produce a new model with a more powerful engine, performance-tuned suspension, and upgraded interior. Called the 2020 Macan GTS, …
People often think off-roading requires specialty vehicles. So, they put up a Jeep Wrangler’s or Land Rover Defender’s drawbacks to be able to crawl over rocks. Or they shell out large sums for Mercedes G-Wagons or Rolls-Royce Cullinans. But then they worry about damaging their expensive SUVs. And while inexpensive off-roaders like the Suzuki Jimny …
Although the top-shelf trims are expensive, the Porsche Cayenne is more reliable and capable than many expect a luxury SUV would be. While the Range Rover may be popularly thought of as the quintessential swank off-roader, the Porsche’s covered its fair share of mud and rocks. In fact, like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the Porsche Cayenne …
Porsche, although now an automaker, was a design firm first. And building cars like the fast-charging Taycan, whose drive system forms the basis of a planned EV off-road racer, requires keeping one eye towards the future. But it also requires, at times, looking back. To a long, long time ago, in a galaxy really rather …
Toyota makes some of the most reliable SUVs on sale today. In fact, many of the most reliable vehicles on the market are made by Toyota. But reliability is only one metric. Toyota SUVs may be reliable, but some haven’t been majorly updated in a while. As such, they can lag behind slightly when it …
Electric systems for electric vehicles can be modified for racecar applications which is why we’re seeing different E-racing series popping up. But these same systems are not adaptable to the demands of off-road racing. For that, you need something more. This is why Porsche is developing a revolutionary new system for two new all-electric vehicles. …
Everything has a top end. With SUV popularity soaring, it’s become something even the luxury class wants. Since manufacturers make more from the higher-optioned vehicles they make, they were glad to accommodate. We’re going to give a quick review of some of the most expensive SUVs made today. Some come in at $100,000, while others …
Enthusiasts may consider the 911 the quintessential Porsche, but the iconic sports car isn’t the German automaker’s big earner. Both the Cayenne and Macan have proved immensely popular, as has the Panamera sedan. Even the recently-announced electric Taycan may outsell the 911. Porsche doesn’t just make sports cars anymore: it makes luxury vehicles, too. But …
It’s no secret that the Porsche Taycan is one of the fastest-charging electric cars in the world, but that doesn’t mean Porsche is satisfied. The German automaker is trying to push the bar and prove that it’s one of the best in the world, and it’s already well on its way towards this. Porsche was …
