Overview of Porsche cars, recommendations for repair and maintenance

Porsche Carrera GT
If you want to see how supercars have changed over the past 10 years, take a look at the 918 Spyder and its 2005 ancestor, the Carrera GT. The whole series is unusually fast, however, if the “Spider” has several operating modes and all-wheel drive control, then the “Carrera” is somewhat damp. Its release ended due to changes in safety requirements in the United States, which made it unprofitable to remake the car. This model is considered a benchmark for extreme drivers, and its design cannot leave anyone indifferent. In his “sexuality” he is in no way inferior to Lamborghini and Ferrari. The cost of a supercar in 2004 reached 450,00 dollars.
By the way, we already wrote about this model in our article about most beautiful cars in the world.

Sensory realm
The salon has changed more noticeably. Now, instead of physical keys on both sides of the lever of the 7-band “robot” PDK, there are two independent touch pads. We have already seen such central tunnels on other Porsche novelties. Online surveys show that most motorists like physical keys, and the abundance of touchscreen surfaces is rather annoying and requires distraction from the road.
According to independent research, the most used control in any vehicle is the audio volume control knob (or buttons). In second place is the climate control unit (or air conditioner). Both the volume and climate control in Macan’2022 have retained their “physical” essence. But heating, air suspension settings, damper stiffness, ESP, exhaust configuration, and more. others now have virtual buttons. As you understand, the surface of the central tunnel will have to be wiped every day.
Why are the Germans delaying the release of the new Macan generation?
The Macan entered the market seven years ago and has proven to be one of the most successful projects in the history of Porsche. More than 600 thousand copies of this crossover have already been sold in the world. And most importantly, four out of five Macan buyers have never driven a Porsche before. A textbook example of how to attract a new audience using the achievements of the group’s partners (in particular, the architecture of the Audi Q5). All this, of course, is good, but the year is 2021. Is it time to bring the Macan II to market?
We learned about what to expect from the Porsche compact crossover family in May of this year. Michael Steiner, Member of the Executive Board of Porsche AG responsible for Research and Development, said at the time that a second Macan was being tested at the Porsche Research Center in Weissach. The novelty will have to wait until 2023. Why so long? The fact is that with a change of generations, the crossover will turn into an electric car on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform. Well, so that customers do not forget about the gasoline Macan, it was updated again. Recall that this SUV survived the previous restyling in 2018.
Porsche Mission E
The Mission E is a completely new type of Porsche. It is powered by electricity and is famous for its high manufacturability. Porsche manufacturers urge fans of their products not to worry, the release of the Mission E will not affect other models in any way. The electric car was first presented in Frankfurt in 2015, and mass production will begin before the end of the decade. The design of the innovative model retains the main features of Porsche. Three variants of the car will be designed for 400, 536 and 670 horsepower. The cost of new items will start at $ 75,000. Is Tesla already afraid? Wait and see.
