1. Porsche Macan's new GTS variant: more power, exclusive seats

PCA—Yesterday Porsche announced it’s adding a GTS variant to the Macan lineup, which means it will slot in between the S and Turbo with a 375-horsepower 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, get unique styling tweaks, and have sport seats and a bunch of standard equipment.

2. Video: 67,000-mile Porsche Carrera GT drives like it's brand new

PCA—The Carrera GT ranks as one of the top Porsches to drive due to its shrieking 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V10, six-speed manual gearbox, and a curb weight under 3,100 pounds, but the fact is most owners don’t put many miles on them. Fortunately there’s an automotive engineer in the UK who’s put nearly 67,000 miles on his, and he allowed Charles Craven of TheSUPERCARDRIVER to take it out for a day.

5. PCA Spotlight: We go underneath and inside the Porsche Taycan at Tech Tactics West

PCA—In late November, PCA hosted Tech Tactics West at Porsche’s dealer technician training facility in Eastvale, CA and fortunately there were plenty of Porsche Taycans on hand as well as Lukas Kraemer, Manager of Complete Vehicle, Taycan, to give a presentation to attendees. Kraemer went a step further and allowed us to film a tour of components underneath the EV, as well as inside a car without its interior.
