Porsche Wants Four Wheels on the Ground
Tesla’s Roadster prototype took flight on October 15, flipping with compressed air before landing on its wheels. Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna gave the stunt a perfect score for its technology and presentation. Porsche chief Michael Leiters, however, prefers cars to stay grounded, saying he wants to avoid “effects and shows.” That same day, Porsche r

Could a 911 Be Worth $400,000?
Porsche may be preparing to push the 911 into a new price bracket. An executive’s remarks point to future special editions costing more than twice as much as the entry-level car, potentially taking a flagship past US$400,000.

Porsche wants its future lineup to feel like a family without making every car look identical.

Porsche’s Sales Slump Has One Bright Spot
Porsche is rethinking its business for a future with fewer sales, but the Porsche 911 is giving it a reason for optimism.

How Much More Would You Pay for a Porsche?
Porsche is betting that its most exclusive customers are willing to pay considerably more for something special.
