It’s a sad day for enthusiasts - Porsche's petrol-powered 718 Boxster and Cayman will bow out in 2025.

It was inevitable, wasn’t it? The Porsche 911 will soon be electrified, starting with the Carrera GTS models.

The 3.6-litre engine will be paired with a shiny new 'T-Hybrid' system, an electric motor melded into an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. This adds 53hp and 150Nm of torque at your beck and call.

Porsche has recently announced a unique collaboration in Overwatch 2 that brings the iconic design of the Macan into the fast-paced world of hero shooters.

In the last article, we took a look at how Porsche put its pre-series Taycan through gruelling and rigorous tests in different climatic conditions. Thing is, they weren't done yet. During an initial range test from Los Angeles to San Diego and back, pre-series models demonstrated their further improved efficiency.

The all-electric sports cars covered up to 587 kilometres on one battery charge on public roads.

Range-testing was done with four pre-series Taycan models between Los Angeles and San Diego.

Following early computer simulations and extensive validations on test benches, the updated Taycan is now undergoing the final stages of real testing on handling circuits and public roads.

“Faster, higher, further – we have improved the new Taycan in practically every discipline compared to its predecessor”, said Model Line Vice President Kevin Giek. “And because the changes are so extensive, the gruelling testing programme is almost comparable to that for a new model.”

The Porsche Cayenne has historical significance for the German marque. Back in 2002, this was the vehicle that breathed new life into the company and ushered in a new world of SUVs.

Fast forward to today, and this is the third generation’s refresh. The Cayenne was a pioneer, a lone wolf in its early days.

Now, it finds itself in a crowd, rubbing shoulders with SUVs of all shapes and sizes. Still, that doesn’t seem to faze its attitude on being an industry trendsetter.

2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Review - Keeps Getting Better

No surprises here, as Stuggart has continued to make the Porsche Cayenne even better.

The ‘Turbo’ designation stands for high performance and represents the epitome of every model series. To emphasise their uniqueness, Porsche is once again sharpening their look.

The Turbo models are, for one, being given a particularly exclusive version of the modernized crest, which is dominated by the new Turbonite colour tone instead of gold. The designers developed this elegant metallic grey tone specially for the Turbo.

It is also being used on several other selected exterior and interior components, lending the Turbo models an even more distinct appearance.

Porsche sharpens looks of its Turbo cars

IN Porsche, Turbo, Turbonite, Burnpavement

For almost 50 years, the Turbo models have enjoyed an exalted position at Porsche. And now, they are due for an upgrade.

After a solid four years of vouching for that grunty turbocharged four-cylinder in the 718 Cayman, Stuttgart has had a bit of an epiphany and done a U-turn. They've went and plonk in a slightly detuned version of the latest Cayman GT4's 4.0-litre flat-six, and gave life to this - the new Cayman GTS.

Wait, didn’t this name previously exist? You see, Porsche already introduced a 'GTS' version of the 982-generation 718 Cayman back in the spring of 2018. It had a 2.5-litre flat-four turbo engine, juiced up to 361bhp. It was fun, sure, but didn’t have the same kind of ferocity as other competitors.

This latest one though, launched back in 2020, dumps the flat-4-pot for a 6er, and my god it makes a ton of difference. So, if you were one of the proud owners of the first-gen 982-GTS, well, you might want to make yourself a cup of tea and sit this one out.

Because what we have here is so good that you might just find yourself considering a trade-in.

It was just another day at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. I’ve flown in to cover the event and was given the esteemed opportunity to take out the Porsche 911 GTS, thanks to the folks at Porsche Singapore.

Test drive over, I was buzzing with excitement. I mean, when else are you offered a chance to take a Porsche out on some stunning B-roads? And that was when I laid eyes on the Sport Classic, sitting pretty on the driveway.

The Sport Classic is a model that was launched where I’m from (Singapore). However, because it is a limited edition model, there was never going to be a test drive unit offered for us. With each costing a cool SGD$1.5 million too, it’s not hard to see why.

So, what's the deal with the 911 GTS? It's like that friend who shows up at the party with just the right amount of pizzazz. Back in the day, it emerged to fill the void between the Carrera S and the Turbo.
