Porsche built an electric Cayman concept that's surprisingly quick
Some of the most interesting cars never leave the concept phase. Porsche's latest EV is one of those. Porsche unveiled the Cayman E-volution concept at the 2017 Electric Vehicle Symposium. It packs an all-electric drivetrain that sends the car to 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds, more than a second quicker than the current 718 Cayman S. Its battery only lasts about 125 miles between charges, but that's fine, because it's never going into series production.

Porsche poised for Red Bull buyout?
The rumours are gathering apace: Porsche is to enter Formula 1 from 2021, after purchasing the Red Bull team and making engines fitting to the new formula set to be introduced that year. No one is yet confirming or denying. But it makes a lot of sense. Red Bull might consider that its F1 programme of the last decade has achieved its marketing aims and that it no longer needs the vast expense of running an F1 team (or even two of them). It could continue as a sponsor to the works Porsche team and benefit from that association, but without anything like the same current spend.

The Magic of the Ugliest and Most Hated Porsche 911
The more and more automotive journalists and PR people you talk to, the clearer it becomes that half of them already have some sort a Porsche 911, with the other half wanting to have one, often quite badly. The enthusiasts' love for these stubbornly rear-engined sports cars knows no bounds, except perhaps when it comes to the 996 generation, built from 1997 to 2005.
