In its tenth anniversary, the Porsche Macan is on the verge of an all-electric second-generation model. Pioneering the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the second-generation 2024 Porsche Macan is developed from the ground up. The challenge during development was harmonizing the Macan’s identity with the aerodynamic demands essential for efficiency and extended range. This balance demanded seamless collaboration between the Design department and aerodynamic testing in Porsche’s state-of-the-art w

Porsche variants can be quite a stickler to remember. A while back, the Turbo badge meant, well… turbocharged models. Now they’re all turbocharged. Recently, they’ve introduced the “T” variants.

Changes are subtle, with redesigned front and rear bumpers. The GTS variant gets the centre section of the front bumper finished in black, while other variants feature body-coloured in

If you get misty-eyed over the last tapir, then head on over to Lexus to catch a glimpse of the Lexus LC Convertible, as it might be the last of its kind. And I don’t mean last “Lexus luxury convertible with a folding hardtop”. I mean, “last luxury two-door from a mainstream manufacturer”. If you like big posh cats, then the news from around the world isn’t very encouraging. Sales of the BMW 8 Series is reportedly stalling in the United States, with reports from Europe claiming that BMW will dis

The Gran Coupe variant started off with the 6 Series (F12 generation), then with the 4 Series (F36 generation), and now comes the first-ever 2 Series Gran Coupe. It is BMW’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz CLA, both being a four-door coupe that shares the same underpinnings as its front-wheel drive hatch counterpart. Visually, it looks similar to the 1 Series from the front but pay closer attention and the differences start to show. The 2 Series Gran Coupe has curvier headlamps design, wider grille,
