The Macan isn't the only SUV from Stuttgart about to get a zap for the age of electrification as its bigger sibling, the Porsche Cayenne, is readying to go electric for its next generation.

Argue as you might, but electric cars are going to be the dominant force in new car sales worldwide. Like the SUV once did, the EV will gradually become more common until it’s a normal part of our traffic landscape.

If you thought owning a sports car, say a Porsche 911, meant limiting your outdoor adventures, Porsche wants to try and prove you wrong.The latest addition to Porsche's range of accessories and products is a roof-mounted tent, which can be fitted to the t

The butterfly effect is a chaos theory positing that a small change in initial circumstances can ultimately lead to a large-scale altering of a much larger situation. The name comes from the idea that something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings can eventually create a hurricane.

Porsche Australia has added a new Platinum Edition grade to its already extensive Cayenne large SUV range, with deliveries expected to start in mid-2022

Porsche is determined to help get your kids to school on time. The German brand has unveiled a new addition to its Cayenne range, with more power, more torque, carbon ceramic brakes and the ability to lap the Nurburgring faster than a Lexus LFA. The Cayenne Turbo GT sits at the top of the line-up and is now available to order ahead of its arrival to Australia in the fourth quarter of 2021, priced from $336,100 (plus on-road costs).The Cayenne Turbo GT is powered by the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine as the existing Cayenne Turbo but tuned to make even more performance. There’s now 471kW/850Nm available under the bonnet, a boost of 67kW/80Nm more than the ‘regular’ Turbo.The engine is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which has been modified for faster shifts when driven dynamically.Porsche claims it’s enough power to launch the four-seat SUV from 0-100km/h in just 3.3 seconds, which is remarkably 0.6 seconds faster than the Cayenne Turbo.It’s not just more power though, with Porsche also re-engineering the chassis to improve the handling. For starters the Turbo GT sits 17mm lower than the Cayenne Turbo and both the passive and active elements of the suspension have been re-tuned for even sharper handling. The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active roll stabilisation system has new software too, allowing it to sit even flatter in the corners.The Turbo GT rides on new, and very big, 22-inch alloy wheels fitted with Pirelli P Zero Corsa performance tyres.Braking is handled by Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) which are fitted as standard, to ensure it stops as quickly as it goes.To visually distinguish the Turbo GT from the rest of the range it has some unique exterior elements. The biggest is a new front bumper design that includes a larger front lip spoiler and bigger air-intakes. There’s also a carbon fibre roof, carbon side plates and a GT-specific roof spoiler at the rear.Inside the cabin is trimmed in swathes of Alcantara to continue the sporty theme. Standard gear includes eight-way electrically adjustable front sports seats with a pair of individual sports seats in the rear. It also gets an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel with yellow ‘12 o’clock’ marking.One notable feature of the cabin is the introduction of Porsche’s latest generation infotainment system. The new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) features a new user interface and has compatibility with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for the first time. It also includes a new ability to integrate Apple Music and Apple Podcasts.Australian-bound Cayenne Turbo GT will also get keyless entry and ignition, privacy glass, four-zone climate control, ambient lighting, head-up display and digital radio as well as Lane Change Assist, Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and side airbags in the rear.Porsche showed off the performance of the Cayenne Turbo GT recently by lapping the famous 20km long Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:38.9 seconds with Porsche test driver Lars Kern behind the wheel.

If you are a Porsche designer, it must be tough to find new inspiration for the seemingly never-ending special-edition models that come out.Changing a colour or fitting different wheels just might not be special enough for models as coveted as a 911 or Pa
