Confirms embargo lift date to end of November.
Would expect Porsche to keep at least 1-2 weeks of exclusivity on the discourse before the reviews, to keep the discourse about the car aligned for articles around the announcment.
That means the official announcemnet is mid to end of November.
The car is already in the hands of car reviewers and youtubers after the initial wave of traditional car magazines first impressions:
Announement seems imminent? 1-2 weeks maybe until first reviews from 3rd party reviewers, to keep the spotlight on the Mission S a bit more.
This also marks...
Reposting an older leak of the interior since it may have went unnoticed by many:
Which is already an improvment over Taycan, Macan EV, Cayenne EV.
Do you guys think there's any chance the 718 EV gets a redesigned interior before it's official unvail, featuring elemnts from the Mission S...
Fun is an option package you can indeed tick on porsche's configurator.
So is comfort.
Look at taycan; base taycan is not fun. Add all the driving focused options, it is fun.
Base taycan is not comfortable, add PAR, 19inch wheels, comfort seats, cooling, heated seats, etc, and you get a...
The white one fits best what I saw on the passes in Switzerland. The other colors don't use the cayman rear quarter window, but a 911 one - it will not be the 911 one.
All the renderings also get the rear window a bit wrong - they showcase it going preatty much all the way to the edge of the...
Have you tried the amg gt 55 4-door coupe? Every reviewer says the simulation, which includes vibration, simulated gears, outside and inside noise, the kicks of the shifts etc are indisingushible from a PDK ICE car.
Making definitive claims until trying what so far is seen as the best iteration...
First:
My taycan's turbo consumption, at ~620hp, is 22-28kw/100km. The j1.2 taycan is 16-19.4 kwh/100km. So not half, but definitely bigger than 10% difference. That's within the same car model.
The p7+ i drove a month or so ago was 11-12.6 kwh/100km - that is in fact twice as efficent as my...
The battery pack that charges at 1500kw has 3x the life cycle of the battery in the taycan. They are quoting ~4000 0-100% charging cycles at max speed before any significant battery degradation.
On the battery in j1.1 taycan, LG Chem promises 1000 cycles.
These are production cars, again. Not...
As of today we have 2 cars in europe that charge at 1500kw :) https://www.carwow.co.uk/byd/news/11391/new-byd-atto-8-electric-suv-10-minute-charging
Denza Z9GT that you can buy today and BYD Atto 8 that goes on sale in January.
The range is WLTP, for europe ;)
The 3000hp claim is very real...
Beg to disagree.
Byd has in Europe their premium brand charging at 1000KW+; at byd flash chargers they peak at 1500kw. They have also already installed a few hundred chargers already.
Alpitronic also offers new charger units that do 600kw and can be updated to do 1000kw (require local battery...
If we assume that media jurnos are a extrapolation of real drivers, in the sense that they vary in personality and preferences; then we should confidently say it’s a great system for everyone - since literally every review of it has been good.
Of course, like with everything, there will always...
Some of the stuff was just rumors; now we have confirmations on: announcment date, weight, battery, performance (for a trim), release date
The car also does a good impression of a flat 6 apparently; so the journos were pleased also.
Per TheTimes, production version unvail in a few weeks, likely before Holidays:
Some of the articles have Röhrl confirm the weight at around 1700kg and 500-600hp RWD. (AWD could have more hp?)
55:45 weight distribution.
0-62mph feels like low 4s (per CarMagazine - unconfirmed straight line...
Porsche's newroom says:

To me that sounds like 2028 will be the first FULL year of sales of this model.
As in, it could very well sell in 2027, but not all quarters.
So based on...
