Porsche is best known for its offering of luxury sports cars for sale, including the Porsche 911 and Boxster. However, the brand also offers other luxury vehicles, including a full-size sedan (the Panamera), a midsize SUV (the Cayenne), and even hybrid versions of some of their vehicles.
About Porsche
With beginnings in 1931, Porsche specializes in high-performance luxury sports cars, sedans, and SUVs. Many people don't realize that the full company name is actually Dr.-Ing h.c. F. Porsche AG, which stands for the original founder's last name and honorary title of Doctor of Engineering. This German-based company produces a wide range of vehicles, including the popular 911 sports car, the spacious Cayenne SUV, and the full-size Panamera sedan.
The 911 is a classic Porsche that has been in production since 1963, with its most recent generation spanning 2012-present. The 2017 911 is a luxury sports car that is for sale in both coupe and convertible styles, with standard features including a 3.0L twin-turbo engine at 370 hp and rear-wheel drive.
Those who need more space without sacrificing power can explore the Porsche Cayenne, a midsize SUV with seating for up to five passengers. The 2018 Cayenne boasts a standard 3.6L V6 engine at a whopping 300 hp, in addition to automatic dual-zone climate control, partial leather upholstery, a built-in navigation system, and a premium 10-speaker audio system. Meanwhile, the 2018 Cayenne also offers up to 63 cubic feet of storage space.
A hybrid version of the Cayenne is also available for sale; the 2018 model is powered by a supercharged 3.0L V6 and electric motor at 416 hp way and gets an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined.1
From speedy and robust sports cars to fuel-sipping hybrids, Porsche brings a luxury driving experience to a wide range of vehicles.
