The 992 GT3 is nearly upon us. In anticipation, Porsche released a handful of images of a preproduction version of the next track-bred 911, and well, would you take a gander at that rear wing?Read more...

Everyone has a lot to say about America’s northern neighbors, but there’s a good chance no one has told you this: Canada is the cheapest country in the world to buy a supercar. Read more...

A few years ago, someone at Porsche looked at the handsome Porsche Cayenne SUV and decided to chop some of the roof off, as is the style with many contemporary luxury crossovers and SUVs. The Porsche Cayenne Coupe was born. Creating a new, cut-down roofline is…

Audi has some kind of not-so-secret EV project in the works called Artemis. It’s a bid to catch up to Tesla, though Audi is years behind. Artemis doesn’t seem to be a specific vehicle, exactly, but an entire project. Still, according to various reports a…

Porsche is showing off some design concepts that never came into existence, and among the most interesting are a weird van-like vehicle called the Porsche Vision Renndienst, and a street version of the legendary 919 Hybrid LMP1 Le Mans winner called the 919…

It started out simply enough. Travel two hours north of Tokyo before an official lockdown is implemented to see the Mike Tyson Special Koenig Testarossa, for sale at a dealer in the countryside of Gunma Prefecture. What I found was far more interesting, the…

I don’t generally proclaim myself to be a skilled, or even competent, or even a non-severely untalented businessperson, but I do know that a great way to make money in the car business is to sell more cars. I also know that if you sell cars that don’t need…

The Porsche Taycan is an all-electric sports car that starts at $103,800, a proposition that I had assumed wouldn’t sell all that great here, mainly because you can get any Tesla for less. Well, that was wrong.Read more...

While many disciplines of motorsport have done a solid job with their COVID-19 safety protocols, nothing has been foolproof. Drivers and team personnel have contracted the illness, but this weekend sees the impact of the virus on a much wider scale. Whether it…

The 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S is an animal, a monster, an apex predator on asphalt when you push the gas pedal into the carpet. Otherwise, it’s a competent touring car. But you knew that. Seriously, why are you reading this review? It’s a fucking 911 Turbo.…

Crash testing seems pretty damn important, but some vehicles just never make it to the independent smashing science lab here in the U.S. That includes all Jaguar, Porsche and Land Rover vehicles currently on sale. Read more...

The song burbles and snaps beneath the beat of a droning metronomic drum machine. A synthesizer warbles, like the underlying score to a dystopian thriller. The lyrics are spoken more than sung, in an accent that sounds vaguely European. After calling out bread…

Porsche is still full speed ahead in taking on Tesla in the US, Volkswagen is doing the electric car reservation thing, and Hurricane Laura is pounding dealerships and everything else in Texas and Louisiana. All that and more in The Morning Shift for August…

Porsche has finally updated its four-year-old second-generation Porsche Panamera. The sports wagon is getting a new 4S E-Hybrid trim, and the new 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo S gets a boost of 70 horsepower to achieve a claimed 0 to 60 mph time of just 2.9…

McLaren has finally mapped out a foundation for going all-electric within a decade despite signaling that it had some wild ideas just a few months ago, and Tesla, Ford and more are going after their chip suppliers. That’s not all in The Morning Shift for…

Nissan is giving up on the Titan in Canada and possibly soon in the US too, Porsche is being investigated for gas-engine manipulation, and Ford. All that and more in The Morning Shift for August 24, 2020.Read more...

The Nürburgring acknowledges several categories of records, including compact cars, sports cars, prototypes, etc. Then there is “executive cars,” which are cars like the BMW 7 Series, Audi A7, and Mercedes S-Class. And also the Porsche Panamera, which…

The original 911 Targa was a product of the 1960s. Convertibles were going out of style in the advent of air conditioning and looming crash standards, so Porsche threw a hoop over the cabin and ended up with a cool new model. Today you can buy a 2021 911 Targa…

The Porsche 944, like every other mildly cool car from the ’80s and ’90s, is starting to be appreciated anew now that it’s old enough to stoke nostalgia. The Porsche factory went ahead and restored this 1991 944 S2, essentially the ultimate production…

The coronavirus pandemic has upended how people buy cars and also upended what kinds of cars people are buying. One throughline has been that demand for used cars is through the roof—even for used Porsches, a part of the market you might think would be a…

As Jalopnik’s resident car buying expert and professional car shopper, I get emails. Lots of emails. I’ve decided to pick a few questions and try to help out. This week we are discussing a new dad wanting to buy a vintage car as a daily driver, and making…

What defines a successful car? Is it how it sells when it’s new? They fly off of the lot, you see them everywhere. They’re affordable, a dime-a-dozen on the roads, and super popular. But, decades later, many of them sit underneath a highway overpass…

As Jalopnik’s resident car buying expert and professional car shopper, I get emails. Lots of emails. I’ve decided to pick a few questions and try to help out. This week we are discussing dealers that don’t honor deposits and someone torn between two…

At the beginning of this hellish week I awoke from a deep slumber with a start. “What if my engine explodes tomorrow?” I said to myself. My half awake wife told me to shut up and go back to sleep. Maybe she’s right. Maybe I’m overthinking it. Read more...

I’m not going to claim a car that costs $94,120 is “practical” in every sense, but if you’re cashed up and want an easy-to-use luxury vehicle that’s fairly fun to thrash–and basically elite at everything it does–the Macan Turbo is undeniably…
