Putting the engine over the rear wheels and keeping it there has been both a blessing and a curse for Porsche and its 911. On the one hand, the challenges that come with putting an engine so far back without creating handling that makes a car unmanageable have been immense, but on the other, finding ways to overcome those challenges has created a spirit of innovation throughout the company, and Porsche's latest patent is further proof that the engineers in Stuttgart never stop trying to make the

What's the deal with midsize sedans? Whether or not you have seen an episode or two of the iconic 90's sitcom that bears his last name, or have been a fan of his stand-up comedy, you probably know comedian and TV icon Jerry Seinfeld as a well-versed car enthusiast. One of the most public showcases of his affinity for cars was through the popular web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, where he took notable figures like former President Barack Obama and fellow comedians such as Jimmy Fallon

If you want to spend as much as possible on a new Porsche 911, you can grab a Turbo S Cabriolet for $284,300. But Porsche has just unveiled a new truly special 911 collector car that costs over $100,000 more than that—$387,000, to be exact. This is the 2027 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche, and the name tells you all about why it’s so special. This car pays tribute to Ferdinand Alexander Porsche (also known as F.A.), the grandson of Porsche AG Founder, Ferdinand Porsche. The younger Ferdinand passed away

Porsche started developing its next-generation 718 Cayman and Boxster electric sports cars in 2019, and it looks like it may still take a while until they reach showrooms. As the automaker backtracked on its electrification commitments due to the EV downturn, reports started to emerge (including from Bloomberg) about the death of the 718 Cayman and Boxster EVs. Porsche did nothing to refute the rumors, and then in mid-February we’ve learned that a top-level meeting had been called to decide the

Design Defines Legacy How a car feels and drives is a major part of the overall experience, but design is equally important. Car designs shape the legacy of each nameplate and the generations that follow. The way a car looks divides and unites enthusiasts, sparking passionate debate in the process. All major manufacturers seriously consider who leads their brand's design team, with each new Chief Designer subject to scrutiny based on their previous work. Porsche has just announced a new leader i

The Sales Leader You don't need a rocket scientist to figure out the best-selling model in Porsche's lineup. For over a decade, the Macan has been Stuttgart's moneymaker, and has sat at the top of the company's sales charts since 2015. It has consistently sold over 80,000 units, taking up a good chunk of the company's total sales. Without it, Porsche probably wouldn't even sell 200,000 cars per year. Despite the arrival of the Macan EV, the first-generation model is still serving the brand, even

For the Love of Porsche Very few automotive brands have the same appeal and gravitas as Porsche. Over the years, they've grown to cultivate massive loyalty among fans, owners, and collectors from all walks of life. Because of the brand's very rich history and extensive catalogue of classic models, people are constantly drawn to them. One of the biggest fan-made events centered on Porsche just concluded a monumental event in what most would consider a mecca for the automotive scene – and for the

Porsche says production of the Cayenne Electric is now underway, and it is using the launch to expand how much of the battery system it designs and builds itself. The company is positioning the move as a manufacturing milestone and a technical one, because the Cayenne is a high volume nameplate and the battery pack is being treated as a core performance component rather than a sourced commodity.

While most of us were taking the day off to recharge for the new week, Porsche engineers spent Sunday working, and the Autoblog spy photographers were too, catching two pre-production versions of the facelifted Cayenne SUV on camera. Both are E-Hybrid plug-in models, which we know because black tape on the front fenders draws attention to the spot where Porsche places the badge, with one being the regular Cayenne E-Hybrid and the other the stonkingly fast Turbo E-Hybrid. Although the German auto

Porsche is betting on gas engines and aggressive cost cuts to pull itself out of one of the worst financial periods in its modern history. Porsche booked $4.5 billion in extraordinary expenses in 2025, including a $3.5 billion writedown for its EV strategy pivot. Its operating profit collapsed 98%, margins shrank to 0.3%, and shares have fallen by more than half since 2022. New CEO Michael Leiters, who led McLaren before taking the job, has a clear diagnosis: the company moved too fast toward el

Porsche is preparing to launch its third SUV nameplate, expanding into a new market segment in the process as it attempts to capture some of the lucrative three-row luxury SUV market with the car codenamed ‘K1’. Spy shots have been trickling out for a couple of years now, and while it was initially planned for the K1 to be electric-only, the weak EV market led to Porsche flip-flopping on that decision last year and pushing ahead with gas and hybrid versions as a priority. Now, a new report says

Porsche has just released its sales results for 2025, and while the United States saw another year of record sales for the automaker, other major regions saw a decline. Globally, Porsche sales dropped by a disappointing 10%, but in the U.S., Porsche sold 52 vehicles more than in 2024—a new record by the narrowest of margins. Locally and worldwide, the Macan was the manufacturer’s best-selling model, while the 911 set another delivery record globally. Here’s a closer look at the numbers. Stronges

The Case Against Going Cordless There is no question that wireless charging is less efficient than plugging in directly. Phones and smartwatches have already shown that, so skepticism about applying the same idea to electric vehicles is understandable. But according to Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained, Porsche may have made one of the strongest cases yet for why the technology can work. Fenske, who has an engineering degree and owns a Lucid Air, said he went into the experience skeptical an

A new record for new-car prices A new report published by Kelley Blue Book and its parent, Cox Automotive, says that average new-vehicle prices reached an all-time high in the last month of 2025. Initial Kelley Blue Book estimates show that the average transaction (ATP) price paid for a new vehicle in December 2025 was $50,326, a figure up from 0.8% from the same month in 2024, and up over 1.1% from November 2025's ATP of $49,814. Notably, this new figure is a callback to figures recorded in Sep

I’ve been using Power Stations for several years now, as we use them on our livestreams to power downtrack cameras and wireless equipment. I own Jackery, Predator, and Anker models and have tried all of them with great success. Yes, some are better than others, or have different features than others, but the truth is that they all work really well for what I’m doing. When we had 5 days without power, it was nice to be able to use my power stations, even though they are little units compared thos

The President has cars on his mind In an announcement on the afternoon of December 3, President Donald Trump announced the administration's agenda to dramatically reverse his predecessor's fuel efficiency standards in a bid to lower new car prices for American consumers. In an Oval Office event with representatives of Detroit's major automakers, including the CEO of Jeep and Dodge parent Stellantis, Antonio Filosa, Ford CEO Jim Farley, and John Urbanic, the plant manager at General Motors' Orion

US 131 has been throwing one hell of a drag race with both the Mid West Drag Racing Series and Radial Outlaws Racing Series during the Shakedown at US131. Both sanctioning bodies on the grounds for one weekend of amazing action is really something special, and in the NC Pro Moder video below we’ve got Limited Drag Radial, Pro 275, and RvW action.

Top Fuel and Funny Car finals moved to Friday in Bristol due to inclement weather EPPING, N.H. (June 7, 2026) – Pro Stock points leader Dallas Glenn picked up his third win of the season on Sunday at New England Dragway, defeating Matt Hartford in the final round of the NHRA New England Nationals presented by bproauto.

The Build Begins Apollo Automobil announced on Instagram that production of the Evo has officially begun, signaling that the project remains on schedule. Limited to just 10 units, the Evo is developed exclusively for track use and builds upon the innovations introduced by its predecessor, the Intensa Emozione (IE). This means the same 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 sourced from Ferrari remains in use, though it has been tuned to produce 800 horsepower—up from roughly 780 hp in the IE. That ou

Back on the Streets The Tesla Cybercab has been spotted testing once again – this time on public roads in Austin. However, based on images and videos shared by several users on X, the test vehicles have a steering wheel and a human driver, both of which are uncharacteristic of the production-intent version. The Cybercabs seen on public roads were also equipped with side mirrors, a feature that was notably absent when the EV maker unveiled its dedicated robotaxi during the “We, Robot” event last

Tesla has quietly put what appears to be a production-ready Cybercab on display at its Santana Row showroom in San Jose, giving the clearest public look yet at the dedicated robotaxi it wants on the road in 2026. The upright, two-box EV is being shown with production-style lights, glazing and trim, and it arrives at a moment when Tesla is trying to reset its narrative around autonomy and services after a stretch of weaker demand and pricing pressure.

Corner balancing a car has been one of those things that seemed off-limits to the average automotive DIY enthusiast. You can find a wide range of electronic scales from a speed shop like Summit Racing; however, a ‘decent’ set will set you back at least $1,000, and a higher-quality set will cost double that.

Here we go with more awesome vintage F1 action from the streets of Monaco! The Monaco Historic Grand Prix is one hell of an event, and it’s back after a few years off! If you dig old race cars, you are going to love this. And the way that it is organized at Monaco is something special. They organize the F1 races based on years, and they livestream the entire weekend. We shared the livestream already, and if you missed it then use the link below. But if you just want to see the independent races,

I’m not a die hard Formula 1 fan that follows all the racers and points and such. But I appreciate the cars and the racing and all the technology that is present in that world nowadays. With that said, seeing the Monaco Historic Grand Prix video has me wanting to go to Monaco for that race more than the current F1 race. Check out these awesome historic race cars as they navigate the streets of Monaco. It’s like traveling back in time, to some of the sexiest open wheel cars on the planet. And the
