Porsche Reviews

If you're in the business of spending big money on sports cars, the Porsche 911 is probably on your list of desirables. But there are a few big reasons why you should buy the Turbo Cabriolet instead of the Turbo S Cabriolet flagship.

The Porsche Boxster has been around for a quarter-century, so it now has an obligatory special edition, the aptly named 25 Years. Could it be the best of the breed?

Porsche's Taycan has proven to be a big hit for the German sports car maker, even outselling its perennial 911 model. Now available in Cross Turismo wagon guise, is this all-electric model the ultimate all-rounder?

Can you really Porsche-ify an SUV? You bet you can. The updated Porsche Macan is a seriously good driver's car, wrapped in a polished and practical suit. So is this what the best of both worlds looks like?

The Macan, and Taycan may be Porsche's big money spinners, but the 911 owns the heart of the brand. And the 911 GT3 is a pure expression of its dynamic potential. Where better to experience the abilities of the new, seventh-generation version than a track test at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Porsche is surprisingly early to market with a full EV, but is it everything fans will be searching for?

The Cayenne SUV's arrival close to two decades ago is credited with rescuing Porsche from likely financial ruin. But it's taken a while for the family-focused five-seater to feel comfortable in its own skin... to become a 'real' Porsche. Does the sporty, twin-turbo V8 GTS reflect that evolution?

Now well into its sixth decade, Porsche's 911 Turbo is arguably the world's most recognisable supercar. As the years and model generations have passed, it's grown faster, but bigger and heavier. Does the current Turbo S flagship build on this modern classic's legacy?

Not often in the spotlight, the Panamera sedan and wagon line-up allows Porsche to compete in the 'executive' space, and recent upgrades have made an already impressive package even better.

The Turbo S sits above the entry-level 4S and mid-range Turbo in the Porsche Taycan line-up, with it priced from $338,500 plus on-road costs.Standard equipment includes 'Electric Sport Sound', the 'Sport Chrono' package, rear torque vectoring, speed-sensitive and rear-axle steering, sports-tuned three-chamber air suspension with adaptive dampers and active anti-roll bars, carbon-ceramic brakes (420mm front and 410mm rear discs with 10- and four-piston calipers respectively), dusk-sensing Matrix LED headlights, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, 21-inch 'Mission E Design' alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, a power-operated tailgate and carbon-fibre exterior trim.Inside, keyless entry and start, satellite navigation with live traffic, Apple CarPlay support, digital radio, a 710W Bose sound system with 14 speakers, a heated sports steering wheel, 18-way power-adjustable front sports seats with heating and cooling, heated rear seats and four-zone climate control feature.ANCAP hasn’t awarded the Taycan line-up a safety rating yet. Advanced driver-assist systems in all grades extend to autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, surround-view cameras, front and rear parking sensors, and tyre pressure monitoring.The Turbo is powered by two permanent magnet synchronous electric motors, which are split between the front and rear axles to enable all-wheel drive, with the former fitted with a single-speed automatic transmission, while the latter has a two-speed unit. Together, they produce up to 560kW of power and 1050Nm of torque. Electricity use on the combined-cycle test (ADR 81/02) is 28.5kWh/100km, while driving range is 405km.
