Porsche Reviews

Even when it builds a family-friendly SUV, Porsche still pushes the performance boundary. The Cayenne Turbo GT Coupe is the German brand’s take on the same extreme SUV class as the Lamborghini Urus (the two even share mechanical DNA). 

The 2024 Porsche Cayenne has something for everyone - from the outrageously fast Turbo GT Coupe to this, more frugal, E-Hybrid.This pairs a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine with an electric motor for a combination of performance and efficiency. There’s a new electric motor and battery for 2024, with the motor now making 130kW/460Nm, a significant 30kW/60Nm improvement over the previous model, which contributes towards a combined system output of 346kW/650Nm The Cayenne E-Hybrid has a new and improved 25.9kWh battery which allows for a theoretical 86km of driving on electric power alone. It also helps contribute to a claimed fuel economy rating of just 1.9L/100km; although, like all plug-in hybrids, achieving that figure in the real world is challenging in our experience.Porsche has also added a new on-board AC charger that increases capacity from 7.2kW to 11kW, so with a high-voltage charger the battery can be replenished in just over two hours.The Cayenne E-Hybrid is priced from $154,600 and comes equipped with LED Matrix beam headlights as well as 14-way electronically adjustable front seats, a head-up display, partial leather interior (in black), a new 12.6-inch digital instrument display and a 150W, 10-speaker sound system.There’s a redesigned exterior and interior, which toughens up the looks on the outside and creates a more stylish and practical inside. The Cayenne is by far the most family-friendly Porsche you can buy, with enough room in the back for two adults or older teenagers to sit comfortably, or enough room for three younger children. Safety equipment for the E-Hybrid includes front, side, curtain and driver’s knee airbags, plus autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and a surround view parking system.Combine the hybrid powertrain and practical and spacious cabin with the strong safety credentials and style and it makes for one of the most sensible models the brand offers. Whether that’s still enough to sway buyers from making the leap to an all-electric alternative remains to be seen.

The 2024 Porsche Cayenne S is available in either an SUV or Coupe bodystyle, both powered by the same V8 engine.

Porsche has given its family-friendly Cayenne a mid-life makeover but the biggest change you can't see. Under the bonnet the German brand has ditched downsizing for upsizing, re-introducing the V8-powered Cayenne S.But don't worry, there's still the frugal E-Hybrid and potent Turbo GT to choose from, highlighting the broad role the Cayenne plays for Porsche.

How do you improve an iconic sports car like the track-focused Porsche 911 GT3 RS? Make its aero package wilder, make its engine more epic and its dynamics closer to that of a dedicated racing car. The latest, 992 series iteration of this iconic atmo hero has arrived in Australia and we've driven it one one of the country's most challenging race circuits. Stand by for action!

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 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?

Porsche's SUVs, the Cayenne and Macan, are by far the most popular models the famous German maker offers. But sports cars are in this brand's DNA, so no surprise a 'T' version of the Macan has arrived with specific tuning of the engine and suspension to dial up driver engagement.

You've heard of a supercar, now meet Porsche's latest superSUV, the Cayenne Turbo GT, combining jaw-dropping performance with everyday practicality. It's twin-turbo V8 produces enough kilowatts to power a small town, yet it's as civilised as any upper-luxury family-sized SUV. We spent a week behind the wheel to see if it lives up to its split-personality reputation.

Missed out on a Porsche 911 GT3? Want something faster than a 911 Carrera S? Thankfully the German giant has the answer in the form of its latest creation.
