Porsche 968 Reviews

Porsche is pressing ahead with development of synthetic fuel without help from other prestige carmakers that will likely benefit from so-called eFuels. The German carmaker has been a huge proponent of eFuels as a way to keep people in their Porsche cars long after the ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars comes into effect in the European Union in 2035.

People were furious this week when footage emerged of an L-plater driving a 552kW Lamborghini Aventador, even if it was completely legal. So, you might be surprised by the cars P-platers are allowed to drive or banned from depending on which state they live.

If you are concerned that you’re running out of time to buy a petrol-powered Cayenne because of the shift to electric propulsion - you don’t need to worry just yet.

In an era when carmakers are doing everything they can to reduce emissions and at least appear to be green, Porsche’s mid-life update for its Cayenne SUV represents a serious bucking of that trend - at least on the surface.

Porsche recently celebrated 20 years of the Cayenne. It's the model that transformed the brand and continues to be its golden goose - alongside the smaller Macan SUV.But the electric age is calling so this third-generation mid-life update could be the final petrol-powered Cayenne. Has Porsche done enough to improve the big SUV this time around?

"The last new 718 to feature a combustion engine" will come in the form of Porsche's new 718 Spyder RS, a drop-top version of the Cayman GT4 RS that combines unlimited headroom with a stonking 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat six.Borrowed from the 911 G

What is the definition of a luxury car? It may seem like an obvious question to answer, but like so many things in life, once you start to really examine it and scratch beneath the surface, defining a luxury car isn’t quite as simple as it first appears.

Porsche Australia has lobbed a significant price adjustment for 2023, increasing prices for some variants by almost 10 per cent, and most by more than five per cent.

The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS was never meant to happen, but this 'Franken-Cayman' is alive with the beating heart of a 911 GT3 - the howling 4.0-litre flat-six, making 500 horsepower and pushing you to a top speed of 315km/h. There are lots of questions, and we've answered them all for you, but there's one you need to ask yourself: could you live with this beast?

Just a couple of months have passed since BMW launched its luxury electric upper-large sedan, the i7, and already a much more wicked version has made its debut at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show.The 2023 BMW i7 M70 xDrive marks not only the first time BMW has applied an M70 badge to a model, but also launches as the most powerful electric model released by the Munich brand.With a rear electric motor producing 360kW alone, and a front motor making 190kW, the total system output of the i7 M70 is rated at 485kW. The rear electric motor is the most powerful the company currently uses on any of its models, with a power density 25.5 per cent more than that in the i7 xDrive60.The maximum total torque generated by its electric motors is claimed at 1100Nm when launch control is active, while its peaks at 1015Nm under normal driving in Sport Mode.BMW says it will hit 100km/h from a standstill in just 3.7 seconds, about the same time as a Porsche 911 Carrera S - except the i70 M70 weighs over a tonne more, at 2770kg.Its electric driving range reaches up to 560km, tested under the WLTP cycle, with fast charging (up to 195kW) claimed to be able to add 170km of range in a 10 minutes stop.The M70 also comes with a new drive mode called ‘Max Range’ which pretty much does what it says on the tin - reduces performance to save battery and help hit that high-mark for the claimed range.BMW Australia has confirmed the i7 M70 will arrive here by the end of the year, with a fourth-quarter launch planned and a starting price of $344,900 before on-road costs.For reference, the 'lesser' i7 M60 starts from $297,900 in Australia, but both variants come with plenty of features like a rear-seat 31.3-inch theatre screen and 39-speaker Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system.The LED daytime running lights feature Swarovski crystals, and the grille surround can illuminate while driving. Also featuring are M logos and more aggressive M styling to set the pair apart from other 7 Series variants.
