Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo review: grace, space and pace Life&Style Launching an EV felt like a big risk for Porsche back in 2019, yet the Taycan was a triumph. The press declared it a ‘proper Porsche’ and buyers formed an orderly queue. Within a year, it overtook the Macan as the best-selling Porsche in Europe. Then in 2021, it outsold the 911 worldwide. How quickly [...]
Porsche 911 Carrera S 2025 review: No longer the one-size-fits-all sports car Life&Style The Porsche 911 was launched in 1964 as a one-size-fits-all package. Stump up £3,438 and you got a 130hp 2.0-litre engine inside a coupe body. Not your cup of kaffee? Sir or Madam could consider a Jaguar E-Type or Mercedes-Benz 190 SL instead. It didn’t take long for the 911 range to expand, however. A [...]

Kamm 912C Full Carbon review: Seeing the light in Porsche restomod September 3, 2025 Kamm describes the 912C as ‘an antidote to extreme hypercars’. After several hours spent exploring the back roads of Oxfordshire, I’m minded to agree. However, this particular brand of medicine isn’t a herbal remedy or soothing sedative; it’s a shot of neat adrenalin, plunged directly into a major artery. Less an antidote, then, more like [...]
The best restomods to buy in 2025 September 1, 2025 Restomods divide opinion like a famous jar of yeast extract, but clearly they are here to stay. And rightly so in our opinion – these modified classic cars are more exploitable and exciting to drive than almost anything sold new in 2025. We have driven some truly fabulous restomods, including cars based on iconic Porsche, [...]

Porsche Taycan Turbo GT review: The most powerful Porsche July 16, 2025 Porsche’s GT department is the superglue that connects the company’s road and racing cars. Since 1999, its vehicles have consistently set the benchmark against which others are judged, earning it plaudits from the press and a cult following among enthusiasts. Go to a Touristenfahrten track day at the Nurburgring and every second car is a [...]

Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid 2025 review: Work, rest and play May 21, 2025 Book a Porsche press car and there’s a good chance it will be delivered by a Cayenne. The vehicles often travel inside a covered trailer, which is hauled to all corners of the UK by this particular workhorse. “I love them. They’re just so capable and comfortable,” says the driver as he unloads my showroom-fresh [...]
