For those of us who appreciate both engineering excellence and absolute luxury, the Black Badge Spectre makes a compelling case as the perfect stable mate to your GT car collection. A Porsche for the spirited weekend drive, and the Spectre for making an unforgettable entrance Monday morning—that might just be the perfect garage indeed. The new Vapour Violet finish is eerily reminiscent of the Purple Ultraviolet seen on the 911 GT3 RS—a nod that won’t go unnoticed by those of us who appreciate Stuttgart’s boldest color options. At 6,500 pounds, the Black Badge Spectre has no business hitting 60 mph in 4.1 seconds—but it does so while your 911 Turbo S won’t be collecting dust anytime soon, this electric behemoth deserves respect.

There is always an alternative when it comes to Porsche SUV, thanks to its parent company Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG). While Porsche products are always offering superior and complex technical solution, all Audi SUV’s are based on the same platform as Porsche and often a better value for money. The SQ5 is a very appealing alternative to the Macan, and now that Audi is offering a sportback body style as well, the Q5 is also looking sportier than ever while offering performance matching with the mid-range Macan offering.

Aston Martin is not wasting any time banking on the Valkyrie legend, bringing yet another F1 inspired supercar but this time something you can drive on the road without feeling too out of place. Porsche has left a vaccum in the supercar landscape by not releasing any supercar in 10+ years, most likely trying to catch up with EV technology for its main lineup. In the meantime Aston-Martin is ideally placed to offer a something super special that is not coming Italy. Unfortunatly the British design flair is not really present on that one, looks more like a road-legal Valkyrie. May be because this time James Bond skipped a generation? The car looks more like a McLaren than an Aston Martin but supercars always look cool so enjoy the gallery and ignore the price.

Cadillac is trying to spruce up is Lyriq EV with a V-trim. Will it be enough to boost the poor sales of the Cadillac electric hearse? We don’t think so, the car look is a tough sale for most and would be a strech for Porsche buyers but who knows may be the V trim can help some jump ship into this latest faster offering from Cadillac. We heard lease deals are hard to beat in this spring 2025...

BMW is finally offering a wagon M3...in Europe and we can keep dreaming about that beautiful alternative to the macan turbo. The pricing woudl be on par with the Macan Turbo for US buyers. Considering how popular the Macan is in the USA, it is a great thing for Porsche that BMW decided to skip that one. The M3 touring is all over the internet since its introduction and has already reached cult status. With the CS trim the M3 become more track ready and ridiculously pointless than before and that is what we love about it. Now let’s see if BMW brings it to the US soon. I don’t see a future where BMW decides NOT to bring it in the US, so if you are on the fence for a Macan Turbo you may want to wait until summer for the happy news... In the meantime enjoy the M3 touring gallery, it is a thing of beauty.

Remember the Sterling Moss windhshield-less concept of the Mercedes SLR? Ok so Mercedes did it again. It is a recurring limited edition theme for them considering their glory days in the 60’s when they were winning races on a regular basis. The good old days are behind them but the spirit lives on. If you are a lucky VIP that will be the car to show off in Monaco this summer. If not you can always go for a Porsche GT of 918 Spyder and it should cost you about the same.

The Porsche GT3RS is getting some competition from Ford with the Mustang GTD. Not exactly the same type of car but the spirit is there, a superfast version of the american icon. So far we don’t expect the Mustang GTD to come in a street legal version but considering how well the GTD sold, it would not be surprising to have Ford executive thinking about offering it as a road legal spec. For now just enjoy the beauty shots on the track, and Porsche beware, Ford is thinking about eating the GT3 market very soon.

If you are shopping for a Porsche 911, you have to also look at the Aston-Martin Vantage. Of course its resaele value will be terrible and it is usualy a rebranded glorified Jaguar coupe but you have to give it to the Brits, the Vantage always looks like a million bucks when it comes out. I can’t recall any Vantage release where I was not thinking ’oh boy’ this is a looker. For 2026 the Roadster aka convertible in german terms receives some minor updates. Enjoy the superb photo gallery!

Porsche is gearing up to electrify the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman, marking the German brand’s leap into battery-powered sports cars. While rumors and spy shots of the all-electric 718 Boxster have been all the rage on Porsche forums and the wider web for the past few years, Porsche has actually been dabbling at the idea of electrification for well over 14 years. Back in 2011, they even unveiled an electric Boxster prototype called the Boxster E.

I’ve always been fascinated by the sheer versatility of Japanese Kei cars. They’re not that fun to drive, and I know this because believe it or not, I actually learned how to drive on one of these pint-sized vehicles, born out of Japan’s strict regulations on size and engine displacement. The Daihatsu Copen, for instance, is a kei car that embodies this spirit perfectly. Yes it’s tiny, and yes it’s cute, but it’s also utterly impractical for anything other than zipping through narrow city streets. But what happens when you take this Kei car and slap on the aggressive styling of a Porsche 911 RSR? Enter StanceMagic’s Coperche 811 GT-K showcased at the recently held 2025, Tokyo Auto Show, a creation which in my opinion is equal parts ridiculous and brilliant at the same time.

It seems that most automakers are making a profitable “side business”, based on a renewed demand for manual-transmission vehicles. Porsche does something similar as it is gradually phasing out the stick from most mainstream models, including the 911 and 718. Occasionally, the German carmaker gives us special-edition vehicles, equipped with a manual gearbox, and sells them for an obscene amount of money. Naturally, people buy them because it’s Porsche and they are bound to become collector cars.

The Porsche 911 is a sports car that needs no introduction. Featuring one of the most distinctive designs, the iconic model from Germany has been evolving for over 60 years. While the allure of even the base Porsche 911 Carrera is undeniable, the 992.2 generation still has a starting MSRP of $120,100. Many would be hesitant to part ways with such a hefty sum for a car, which begs the question: is there something that packs similar performance for less? The answer is yes. While there are multiple offerings out there, I am focusing on another iconic nameplate from the sports car world – one that comes from Japan.

Porsche and Ferrari are some of the most renowned names when it comes to high-performance sports cars and supercars. Both companies have decades of experience and boast a proud heritage. The two carmakers are also very successful in motorsports and much of what they have learned on the track has nicely transitioned to their road-going sports cars. Ferrari and Porsche have very different approaches when it comes to making a high-performance car. The 911 is Porsche’s pride, despite there, occasionally, being more potent models. There is one particular 911, which is more comparable to what Ferrari is currently doing, more than any other – the GT1 (Strasßen) or Street version. While both are capable of incredible speed and pack six-cylinder engines, one thing that separates the Porsche 911 GT1 Street and Ferrari’s current flagship, the F80, is that they are 30 years apart in terms of innovation and progress in automotive engineering. This comparison shouldn’t make any sense, but here’s how a race-bred Porsche 911 GT1 measures up against the technologically advanced Ferrari F80 hybrid supercar.
