Porsche’s insanely clever hybrid engine comes to the 911 Turbo S

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-07 08:00:58

Today, Porsche debuted a new 911 variant at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany. It's the most powerful 911 to date, excluding some limited-run models, and may well be the quickest to 60 mph from a standing start, dispatching that dash in just 2.4 seconds. And it's all thanks to one of the most interesting hybrid powertrains on sale today. Rather than just bolting an electric motor to an existing 911, Porsche designed an entirely new 3.6 L flat-six engine, taking the opportunity to ditch t

Should a Plug-In Hybrid Be Your Next Car? Here's How to Decide

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-07 06:00:04

"A plug-in hybrid is the gateway drug for EVs," says Amelia Dalgaard, an automotive expert known online as the Motorhead Mama. That's because plug-in hybrids address the range anxiety that stops some car buyers from going full-EV at first. Despite the growing popularity of traditional electric vehicles, not everyone is ready for a fully-electric car. And luckily, there's another option that's a good first step for many drivers: plug-in hybrids. Plug-in hybrids let you drive on battery power f

This Electric Shaver Is Made From Aircraft-Grade Aluminium, Because Why Not?

Nothing says “premium” like aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, am I right? I guess. I don’t know, it sounds fancy and it looks fancy, too, which makes Laifen’s new electric shaver, the T1 Pro, the swankiest electric shaver I’ve seen all day. The T1 Pro, which was announced at IFA 2025, is apparently crafted with “a single block of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy,” which makes this over-engineered shaver both light and very durable, according to Laifen.

Wireless charging and iPhones have had an interesting relationship. While Android phones had wireless charging extremely early, it took Apple years to adopt the regular Qi wireless charging with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus back in 2017. Back then, it only charged at 7.5W, and it was not very efficient. Then Magsafe and the Qi2 standard recently came around and allowed iPhones to charge at 15W.
