Porsche Showed Its Magnificent 800kW Speedster Concept, The Vision 357

July 15, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the German sports car manufacturer Porsche, the company has introduced a Speedster version of its outstanding Vision 357 concept.

The spectacular drop-top design, on display at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, is based on the 918 GT4 e-Performance prototype, which generates 800kW and has a dual-motor setup.

This enables the 357 Speedster to accelerate quickly from 0 to 62 mph in less than 3.0 seconds.

The GT4’s 82kWh battery is divided into many packs for improved weight distribution. In the “frunk,” in the transmission tunnel, and behind the driver, there are many packs. This configuration likely applies to the 357 Speedster as well.

Porsche hasn’t completely divulged the weight of the Speedster, but given that it’s a show car, the 357 is anticipated to weigh somewhat more than its closely related GT4 e-Performance sister, which is believed to weigh approximately 1600kg.

One carbon fiber bucket seat can be found within the vehicle, which Porsche says is “fully tailored to the driver”. The seat is really part of the Speedster monocoque, with the driver seated on Racetex pads and restrained by a Miami Blue-finished six-point harness.

Transparent digital instrumentation and a racing steering wheel are mounted on top of the steering column, and the dashboard’s entire surface is constructed of exposed carbon fiber.

The German company’s original 356 Speedster, which debuted in the middle of the 1950s, served as a major inspiration for the Vision 357. The new designs’ slender shape and sloping front and back ends demonstrate this.

The Vision 357 Speedster, which has a blue and silver 75th Anniversary paint, is shorter than the car it is based on despite having a lot of stylistic cues with its coupe brother.

At this year’s Festival of Speed, where the brand will be staging its 75th anniversary celebrations, the new idea makes its public premiere.

Porsche and Xbox have announced a partnership to develop a unique limited edition of the Xbox Series X that pays homage to some of Porsche’s most iconic vehicles, adding another entry to the partnerships that don’t really make sense but that we’re totally here for.

These six Xbox systems won’t be simply accessible for purchase by the general public, either. Continue reading to learn how this collaboration came to be and, if at all feasible, how you may obtain one.

“Many people who end up being our most devoted followers initially learned about Porsche through video games.

According to Robert Ader, vice president of worldwide marketing at Porsche AG, being relevant among new generations as well as our present supporters is crucial for us.

The six Xbox Series X systems all feature some of Porsche’s most recognizable vehicles’ eye-catching hues and patterns.

Some of the automobiles that the consoles honor include the 917 that won Le Mans in 1970, the “Pink Pig” racecar, and the hues of the two contemporary Porsche 963s.

Performance Upgrade Revealed For The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport

Performance Upgrade Revealed For The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport

April 24, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


Aerodynamic effectiveness and steady performance over long distances are prioritized in the new design.

The newest generation of the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport, outfitted with the new Evo-kit to further improve its performance on the track, has been introduced by Porsche Motorsport. The new layout prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency and consistent performance over long distances and is primarily intended for GT2 racing series, track days, and Clubsport events.

The high-performance 911 GT2 RS sports vehicle from the 991 generation is built upon, but the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport Evo-kit adds considerably optimized aerodynamics, revised 18-inch wheels, reworked shock absorbers, and better safety systems.

Porsche Motorsport intends to provide its clients with the tools necessary to continue competing at the pinnacle of the GT2 industry with the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport Evo-kit, according to Michael Dreiser, Director of Sales at Porsche Motorsport.

With a modified front splitter and a taller Gurney flap on the rear wing to improve aerodynamic balance, the new layout has undergone considerable aerodynamic revision. A redesigned apron, improved air intakes for brake cooling, and a radiator located in the middle are all features of the front section.

The front lid has also been changed to offer the proper ventilation. The revised shock absorber arrangement results in consistently quick lap times by reducing tire wear during competitions.

In order to accommodate bigger rims, which have increased in size from 10.5 to 12 inches on the front axle and from 12.5 to 13 inches at the back, the new Evo-kit also has widened front and rear fenders. The side sills were recently redesigned to make a visually seamless transition between the wheels.

In addition, wider air ports in the rear apron provide more effective ventilation of the engine compartment and back brakes, lowering the thermal load on parts, especially in high-temperature situations.

The most recent configuration stage will make its debut this weekend in Italy’s Monza as a part of the European Fanatec GT2 series, which consists of six racing weekends with two races each lasting around 50 minutes. In addition to an SRO package that includes a quick-fill fuel system and enhanced side impact cushioning, the new rain lights meet FIA specifications.

2023 Porsche 963 LMDh Racecar

2023 Porsche 963 LMDh Racecar

June 25, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News



In the biggest endurance races in the world, the Porsche Penske Motorsport team enters the brand-new Porsche 963 in search of overall victories. Two hybrid LMDh-spec prototypes will compete in both the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship starting in 2023.

The racing car, which had its public debut at Goodwood in England, is painted in the traditional Porsche racing colours of white, red, and black. Experienced prototype drivers who have won championships share the cockpits of the 500 kW (680 PS) race cars with seasoned professionals from Porsche’s works driver squad. Porsche Penske Motorsport works in two places to get ready for these missions: The FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship are handled by the branch in Mannheim, Germany.

We’re on a very good route after 7,889 test kilometres in the first half of 2022, but there is still work to be done before the start of the next season, says Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President of Motorsport.

“Our brand-new Porsche 963 should carry on the tradition of iconic cars like the 917, 935, 956, and 962 as well as the 919 Hybrid. I’m certain that we’ll be well-positioned technologically, and we’ve established the appropriate team structures to prepare us for success in the exciting competition between several manufacturers and various models.”

The Porsche 963 will make its official racing debut at the USA’s 24 Hours of Daytona in January 2023. In the interim, testing is permitted as a component of the 2022 world championship events, according to the FIA WEC. At the season-ending race in Bahrain in November 2022, Porsche Penske Motorsport hopes to do a non-competitive dress rehearsal.

According to Urs Kuratle, Director Factory Motorsport LMDh, “Over the past several months, our colleagues at Porsche Motorsport and Team Penske have matured into an effective and dedicated squad — the Porsche Penske Motorsport Team.” “In the four factory cars, we’ll have strong driver teams. The relationship we have with our dependable tyre supplier Michelin and the chassis maker Multimatic is perfect. This fall, the Porsche 963 should receive homologation. We want to continue moving forward with test drives till then and collect more knowledge. We are really eager for our first adventure.”

At its headquarters in Mooresville (North Carolina) and Mannheim, Porsche Penske Motorsport prepares a total of four 963s for the most significant sports car events in the world (Germany). The WEC site in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, was once Penske Automotive Porsche Center and was constructed to the highest industry standards. The data interchange between Porsche Penske Motorsport’s three high-tech centers happens practically instantly. In the fall of 2022, the WEC team will occupy the Mannheim space.

The Porsche 963 is built on an LMP2-category chassis to comply with LMDh rules. The Canadian high-tech firm Multimatic is the supplier of this newly created vehicle chassis. The common hybrid parts are provided by Bosch, Williams Advanced Engineering, and Xtrac. A 4.6-liter V8 Biturbo is the engine’s core component. The high-performance hybrid sports vehicle 918 Spyder serves as the foundation for the engine. Its ancestry may be traced back to the RS Spyder racing vehicle, which was driven to several victories between 2005 and 2008 by Porsche and Team Penske. The winning 956 and 962 classics from the 1980s are the design inspiration for the new Porsche 963. The distinguishing characteristic of the most recent 992-generation 911 is echoed by a continuous strip of illumination at the back.

Porsche Is Investing Heavily On Electric Vehicle Batteries

Porsche Is Investing Heavily On Electric Vehicle Batteries

May 5, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Porsche intends to expand its electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing with more efficient batteries. Group 14 Technologies, a US-based firm known for its revolutionary contributions to lithium-silicon battery technology, has received $100 million in a series C fundraising round from the German automotive giant. Group 14 is actively working on worldwide plans to manufacture anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

The business plans to use the funding to develop high-quality, commercially accessible battery cells. These cells are thought to have uses in small-scale manufacturing, motorsports, and high-performance cars.

The anodes, according to Group 14, can store 50% more energy than traditional electric car batteries. A joint venture is anticipated to begin mass manufacturing in 2024. Porsche isn’t the only company that has invested in Group 14, with a total of $400 million invested in the battery producer.

For a long time, the electric vehicle industry has relied primarily on Li-ion batteries. Despite having a well-established supply-and-demand relationship, Li-ion is under danger from more efficient alternatives. Carmakers have been digging for new ideas in a quest to reduce production costs and make electric vehicles more accessible and lucrative.

For firms like Porsche, who want a piece of the newly formed market, luxury EV racing has been a ferocious battleground.

Porsche will be able to tap into the untapped potential of new technology thanks to the $100 million investment. Porsche has previously released the Taycan, a completely electric vehicle that has become one of the most popular premium electric vehicles on the market.

Forza Horizon 4 will no longer get new vehicles or features prior to the release of Forza Horizon 5.

June 29, 2021 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


The studio’s next game, Forza Horizon 5, will be published in November 2021, according to Xbox’s E3 2021 preview earlier this month.

Playground also highlighted the future game’s influence on Forza Horizon 4 content production on Monday’s edition of video show Forza Monthly. Following the release of the Series 37 update for Forza Horizon 4 on June 29, subsequent updates will not feature new content.

Playground senior producer Tom Butcher remarked, “With Forza Horizon 5’s release being our priority over the next several months, we’ve made some modifications to Forza Horizon 4’s monthly series updates.”

“As a result, beginning with Series update 38, players who are familiar with the game will notice the restoration of material from Series 7 to 32. Consider it a mix tape that includes the return of some of your favorite material as well as newly introduced new features.”

“Although we aren’t expecting to introduce any brand-new vehicles or features in the coming months, you should have a lot of fun reliving these situations and seeing how you manage them the second time around,” he continued. Photo challenges, prizes, the Forzathon Shop, and backstage voting will all be available as usual, thanks to all of our latest Series updates.”

When asked if the game will continue to receive updates after the release of Forza Horizon 5, Butcher stated, “We do intend to make sure Forza Horizon 4 continues to be a great experience, but we aren’t ready to disclose precise plans quite yet.”
