2018 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid:
The first generation Panamera struggled to find fans, but that had nothing to do with its performance, comfort or quality. Rather, this was a book judged by its cover. Its bulbous rear was likened to many an unflattering animal and that seemed to dampen people's enthusiasm for an otherwise top quality motor. The new Panamera, however, is far from ugly. It looks like an elongated, refined, front-engine take on Porsche's iconic 911 -- and that's no accident.A makeover would have been enough to make the second-generation Panamera far more desirable, but a spin in the latest e-Hybrid shows that Porsche has given it more than a nip and tuck. The 2018 Panamera is beautiful, inside and out. Porsche has form with hybrids, from the 919 Le Mans-winning hybrid racer to the 918 hybrid hypercar, and not to mention the previous generation of e-hybrid Panamera. Those are all solid bases for the new car, so what has all that fieldwork contributed? For one thing, it can cover most morning commutes with enough power to travel roughly 30 miles in EV-only mode. The electric motor gives a healthy 136 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. That's enough to get the car to 37mph in 5.7 seconds, and on to 86 mph under electricity alone. Should you want to stretch the car's legs, there's a twin turbo, 2.9-litre V6 on standby to give you more go... The V6 produces 330 hp and 331 torques on its own, giving the car a combined max power of 462 hp and 516 respectively. A sprint to 62 mph takes 4.6 seconds, and it'll top out at 173 mph, so it's hardly slow. But a high-tech hybrid isn't just about the speed, there's also MPG to consider. Porsche says the e-Hybrid will manage 91 mpg as well. That's on the European cycle, so numbers will differ in the US...

2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS:
The fastest and most powerful road-approved 911 is ready for launch: The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS celebrated its world premiere at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. At the heart of this high-performance sports car is a 515 kW (700 hp) biturbo flat engine. Weighing in at 1,470 kg with a full fuel tank, the lightweight two-seater accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The rear-wheel drive Coupé has a top speed of 340 km/h, and with its near-motorsport drive technology, the new Porsche 911 GT2 RS trumps its 3.6-litre predecessor by 59 kW (80 hp) and achieves a torque of 750 Newton metres (an increase of 50 Nm). The engine builds on that 3.8-litre in the 911 Turbo S at 427 kW (580 hp). In order to increase performance, large turbochargers push an increased volume of process air into the combustion chambers. A new additional cooling system delivers optimum cooling at peak loads and, at very high temperatures, sprays the charge-air cooler with water. This causes the gas temperature to fall in the overpressure range and ensures optimum power output, even under extreme conditions. The customised GT seven-speed double-clutch transmission (PDK) in the new GT2 RS enables power to be transferred with uninterrupted traction. What's more, the specially developed exhaust system is made from extra-lightweight titanium, weighs around seven kilograms less than the system used in the 911 Turbo and delivers an emotional sound without precedent. For the first time ever, Porsche Design is celebrating the debut of the high-performance sports car by releasing a special-issue watch. Offering a nod to the world of motorsport, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS watch is exclusively available to owners of the new vehicle and can only be ordered in conjunction with the new GT model at a Porsche Centre from June 30, 2017...
