Porsche sports cars are pretty fast, but how about one with hyperdrive? Porsche teamed up with Lucasfilm to design a starship for the Star Wars universe. Named Tri-Wing S-91X Pegasus, the ship will be displayed in scale model form at the premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

201 miles really isn't great, but we don't think it's going to be a deal breaker for buyers. Those in the market for a Porsche Taycan certainly have the means to invest in a home charger, and odds are they have a gasoline-powered car (or two, or three) for long trips. The EPA has only rated one version of the Taycan.

The Porsche Taycan may have just launched, but the German automaker is already thinking ahead to future electric models. Porsche has devised a new all-wheel drive system for electric SUVs that will use four motors. This system could be used in an electric Macan, but Porsche hasn't confirmed anything.

A Porsche 911 hybrid is in the works, and it will outperform all other 911 variants, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said in a recent interview. He didn't give any other details on the 911 hybrid. Blume also hinted that the next-generation Porsche 718 sports car could go all-electric.

A successor to the Porsche 918 Spyder supercar is on the way, and it will use tech from a scrapped Formula One powertrain program, according to a new report. The new Porsche hybrid supercar won't appear until 2023 at the earliest, the report claims, but the car may also go racing.

The Taycan Turbo has been slowly trickling into Europe and America, but they are still exceedingly rare. The 4S model that was just announced is rarer still, as it is not even released yet. We got our first chance to look the model over, inside and out, and record our first impressions.

The good old internal combustion engine has been powering the world for over a century now, and despite the much-needed technological advancements in electric vehicles, gasoline power is not going away anytime soon. These new technologies will keep our gas-powered engines going into the future.

Porsche expanded its portfolio of T-badged models with backroad-friendly variants of the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman. Both models receive the same turbocharged, 2.0-liter flat-four engine rated at 300 hp. The 718s don't come with an infotainment system to save weight, but buyers can request one at no extra cost.

Porsche promised a manual transmission when it launched the latest 911 sports car, and now the automaker is delivering. The 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S and Carrera 4S will be offered with a seven-speed manual. The cars are available to order now, with deliveries expected to begin in spring 2020.

Porsche is launching an online sales pilot program with 25 U.S. dealerships. Customers can complete most of the purchasing process through a website, but have to visit a brick-and-mortar dealership to sign paperwork and pick up their cars. Porsche is running a similar pilot program in Germany.

Shortly after the Porsche Taycan set a Nürburgring lap record for electric cars, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that a Model S would be dispatched to the legendary German racetrack. Are we about to witness a showdown between Tesla and Porsche, or just a disaster for Tesla?

Scheduled to arrive in showrooms in 2020, the 4S variant of the electric Porsche Taycan looks just like the existing Turbo and Turbo S models, but it's cheaper, slower, and it presumably has less driving range. It's on sale now with a base price of $103,800 before destination and incentives get factored in.

The two firms have already started developing a concept. They envision an electric, luxurious vertical takeoff and landing vehicle that silently and smoothly transports passengers through the skies. Porsche's research suggested the flying taxi market will pick up a tremendous amount of speed after 2025.

Volkswagen is willing to share EV tech destined for Audi and Porsche models with other automakers. This could help speed up the deployment of electric cars, an executive said. Volkswagen is planning dozens of all-electric models across multiple brands, all set to launch over the next few years.

Hennessey will begin making powertrain modifications to the Taycan when it receives the example it ordered in early 2020. In the meantime, it's designing aftermarket parts like alloy wheels, new-look interior parts, and a body kit for the first electric Porsche. Pricing information hasn't been announced yet.

After all its recent success with hybrids, you might think Porsche had discovered some new technology, but Porsche started with a hybrid way back in 1900. Yes, 1900. Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of the company of the same name, was fascinated by electricity even as a teenager.

The Porsche Taycan was built with one of the quickest charging systems of any production car, but that won't matter if drivers can't find compatible charging stations. Electrify America is already taking care of that. The first Porsche Taycan charging station is ready to go.

The 2020 Porsche Taycan is finally here, and it looks like it was worth the wait. Porsche's first electric car will have up to 750 horsepower, and an interior full of screens. Porsche plans to follow up the Taycan with a production version of the Mission E Cross Turismo electric wagon.

Porsche's electrification offensive will likely include the 718 Cayman and the 718 Boxster. Both models could turn into EVs during the 2020s, though production of the gasoline-powered models would carry on. Porsche is looking for ways to electrify the sports car segment, and starting with the 718 makes sense.

The Porsche Taycan launches in Turbo and Turbo S forms, but Porsche has other models planned. Less-powerful variants and a Cross Turismo wagon version of the electric Porsche have already been confirmed, with the first set to arrive in 2020.

Porsche decided to test the acceleration and braking of its Taycan electric car on the flight deck of the USS Hornet, a decommissioned World War II aircraft carrier. The electric Porsche accelerated from zero to 90 mph and back to zero without going over the edge of the 869-foot flight deck.

The Netflix of the Porsche world is growing. Porsche Passport is now available in Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego, and Toronto. It lets motorists who pay a flat monthly fee swap cars as often as they'd like, so they can commute in a Cayenne and book a 911 for the weekend. It's more expensive now that it's in more cities.
