Speed demons: Techart releases tuning package for the Porsche 911 Turbo

By

“This 560-horsepower 911 Turbo S sure is nice, but I just wish it was a bit faster,” said no one ever.

Porsche’s boosted 911 is lauded by many for its bone-crushing acceleration, hardcore handling, and overwhelming drive experience, but German tuner Techart is taking it one step further.

The company has released information detailing its TA 091/T1 and TA 091/T1.1 power kits, which are available for the 911 Turbo and the 911 Turbo S, respectively. These powerful Germans make 520 hp/523 pound-feet and 560 hp/553 lb-ft from the factory, so adding more speed to the mix is clearly dangerous, terrifying, and flat out awesome.

The added power comes from an all-new engine management system, which is activated simply by pushing the ‘Sport’ button the vehicle’s center console. On both models, pushing said button increases horsepower by 60 and torque by 95 lb-ft. This allows for the sprint to 60 mph to come in just 2.9 seconds in the Turbo (.1 faster than before) and 2.8 seconds in the Turbo S (.1 faster than before).

More impressive, though, are the improvements in top end acceleration. With Techart’s enhancements, the all-wheel drive Turbo can reach 124 mph from a standstill in just 9.8 seconds, and its top speed has improved from 196 mph to 202 mph. The Turbo S? It’ll hit 204 mph flat out if the driver is gutsy enough.

A stainless steel exhaust system is available as well, but it does more to adjust the Porsche’s soundtrack than its performance. It features a unique silencer and two valves that can be adjusted on the fly, giving drivers the ability to operate in stealthy civilian mode or test the sensitivity on their neighbor’s car alarm. Watch the video of the valves in action here.

Techart hasn’t stopped at performance, as a slew of interior and exterior upgrades are an option too. Inside, there are custom steering wheels available (yes, there are several) ans well as sport pedals, seats, stitching, and upgraded dashboard instruments.

On the exterior, there’s a trick aero kit that includes new vents, spoilers, diffusers, and side mirrors. There’s even a button-operated ‘Noselift’ function that will raise the front of the car by 65 mm in case of pesky speed bumps.

But let’s be honest, where you’re going, there won’t be any.

Don’t let the gimmicks fool you. The Ioniq 5 N is a serious track car

We’re finally getting to the fun part of automakers’ methodical quest to replicate their lineups with electric cars.

Performance versions of ordinary cars have been a staple of the auto industry for decades. But while we’ve already seen some variants of EVs boasting more power and more impressive stats — think Tesla Model S Plaid or Lucid Air Sapphire — the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is the first to truly apply that format to an EV.

The Maserati GranCabrio Folgore is one of the best-looking EVs yet

Maserati is adopting electrified vehicles with open arms, and while that could potentially signal an identity crisis for the luxury Italian brand, that’s probably a good thing in the long run.

The company recently took the wraps off of the new Maserati GranCabrio Folgore, which is essentially a convertible version of its already released GranTurismo Folgore electric car. The new EV is its third go at electrified vehicles so far, and it flew us out to Rimini, Italy, to witness the big reveal in person.

EV warranties aren’t like those for non-electric cars. Here’s what you should know

EVs are on the rise. With awesome new models finally rolling out and charging networks rapidly expanding, it feels like we're at the tipping point of electric cars being as mainstream as non-electric vehicles. But with a whole new type of vehicle come new challenges. One challenge is adapting to charging times. Another is paying closer to attention to range. And another, as some drivers are finding out, has to do with electric car warranties.

Turns out, the warranty that comes with electric cars isn't necessarily quite the same as the one that you might get with your non-electric car. If you really think about it, that's probably not all that surprising -- after all, while they can look the same, electric cars have a completely different makeup under the hood compared to their gas-powered cousins. But understanding an EV warranty could be the difference between winding up having to pay thousands for a battery replacement, or getting one repaired on the house.
It's not all new
Before diving into things like battery warranties, it's worth doing a quick primer on car warranties in general. EVs and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles usually come with two different warranties -- at least when they're bought new. First, there's the basic warranty (also known as bumper-to-bumper warranty), which covers every part of a car except for basic maintenance, usually for up to three years or 36,000 miles.
