Podcasts about Porsche

In this episode of The InEVitable by MotorTrend, hosts Ed Loh and Jonny Lieberman sit down with the one and only Magnus Walker—fashion icon, Porsche collector, designer, and automotive outlaw. Magnus opens up about his love-hate relationship with EVs, why Porsche's electric strategy might be backfiring, and what the brand needs to do to stay true to its roots. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories about his TWR Supercat project, working with Pininfarina, and his upcoming Porsche book collaboration with Hannah Elliott. From racing at Goodwood to collaborating with design houses, Magnus brings his unfiltered takes on branding, car culture, motorsport, and the future of driving passion.

In this episode, we tackle some heavy news coming out of Stuttgart that's got the Porsche world talking. We break down Porsche's projected $1.1 billion quarterly loss—what led to this, the leadership shakeup with Michael Leithers taking over as CEO, and what a potential "sleepy era" could mean for production and the models we love. We discuss the controversial announcement of yet another US price increase and whether Porsche is pricing enthusiasts out of the market entirely, plus what this means for the used and classic car values. Then we dive into the mysterious W18 patent with three turbos—is this the hypercar we've all been waiting for, or just another patent filing that goes nowhere? We also cover Porsche shopping their stake in Manthey Racing and what that signals about their financial strategy moving forward. This is a critical moment for the brand, and we want to hear your thoughts on where Porsche goes from here and how it impacts all of us as enthusiasts. Thank you for your support!

Hned několik proslulých německých automobilových výrobců hlásí propad zisků v řádu desítek procent. Prodeje evropských aut na dosud vysoce výnosném čínském trhu se propadají a tamní konkurence už má v hledáčku i prémiové výrobce ze starého kontinentu. Export do Spojených států zase prodražují cla, zavedená vládou Donalda Trumpa. Jaká je budoucnost odvětví, se kterým úzce svázala svůj osud česká ekonomika? Je přechod k elektromobilitě nevyhnutelný? A zachrání evropské automobilky případný odklad zákazu prodeje nových aut se spalovacími motory za horizont roku 2035? Host: Wolfgang Münchau - německý ekonomický novinář, spoluzakladatel a ředitel analytické agentury EurointelligenceČlánek a další informace najdete na webu Seznam ZprávySledujte nás na sociálních sítích X, Instagram, Threads nebo Bluesky.

¿Qué tienen en común una carretilla elevadora, una Harley-Davidson, la cabina de un Airbus, un SEAT Ibiza y el metro de París? La respuesta, por increíble que parezca, es Porsche. Todos conocemos a la marca de Stuttgart por sus icónicos deportivos, su inconfundible sonido y su dominio en Le Mans. Pero esa es solo la mitad de la historia. Hoy desvelamos el universo secreto de Porsche Engineering, la faceta de "mercenarios de la tecnología" que ha resuelto problemas para clientes de todo el mundo, a menudo en la sombra y sin llevarse el crédito público. Para entender esta historia, hay que viajar a los orígenes. Antes de que existiera el primer coche con su apellido, Ferdinand Porsche fundó en 1931 una oficina de diseño e ingeniería. Su nombre oficial, "Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften Honoris Causa Ferdinand Porsche GmbH, Konstruktion und Beratung für Motoren und Fahrzeugbau", deja claro que no era un fabricante, sino un cerebro de alquiler. De su genio nacieron tanto las revolucionarios monoplazas de motor central de Auto Union como el encargo que cambiaría la historia del automóvil: el Volkswagen Escarabajo. La verdadera esencia de Porsche siempre ha sido la ingeniería como servicio. Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, su hijo Ferry Porsche mantuvo vivo el sueño creando el legendario 356. Sin embargo, para financiar su costosa producción artesanal, recurrió al ADN de la empresa: vender conocimiento. Así, la división de consultoría, hoy conocida como Porsche Engineering, se convirtió en el pilar financiero que sostuvo a la marca y, a la vez, en un extraordinario campo de entrenamiento tecnológico. Algunos de estos proyectos son secretos a voces, pero los detalles son fascinantes. A finales de los 80, Mercedes-Benz tenía a todos sus ingenieros ocupados con la nueva Clase S y no tenía recursos para meter su motor V8 de 5.0 litros en la berlina W124, principalmente porque no cabía. Porsche, en plena crisis financiera, aceptó el reto. No solo rediseñaron el chasis, sino que ensamblaron a mano cada Mercedes-Benz 500 E en la misma planta del mítico superdeportivo 959. Poco después, Audi quiso consolidar su imagen frente a BMW M y AMG. Con la línea de montaje del 500 E libre, Porsche se alió con ellos para crear el Audi RS2 Avant. La implicación fue tan profunda que se estima que el 20% de sus piezas eran del catálogo de Porsche. No era un Audi modificado; era un Porsche con la insignia de los cuatro aros que creó de la nada el segmento de los "super-familiares". Pero la verdadera magia está en los proyectos que casi nadie conoce: -Más allá del Telón de Acero: En plena Guerra Fría, Porsche ayudó a la soviética Lada a refinar la mecánica del robusto Niva y, años más tarde, a desarrollar el motor y la caja de cambios del Samara. -De Stuttgart a Milwaukee: Cuando Harley-Davidson necesitó un motor moderno y refrigerado por agua para atraer a un nuevo público, acudió a Weissach. El resultado fue el motor "Revolution" de la V-Rod, un V-Twin que subía de vueltas como ninguna otra Harley lo había hecho jamás. -La Salvación de SEAT: Tras su ruptura con FIAT, la supervivencia de SEAT dependía del Ibiza. Porsche fue contratada para rediseñar su motor. El acuerdo para lucir la inscripción "System Porsche" en la culata fue una jugada maestra de marketing que salvó a la marca española y supuso un ingreso vital para la alemana. -Del Nürburgring a Corea: Para que la primera generación del Hyundai Coupé tuviera un comportamiento dinámico a la altura de los deportivos europeos, la marca coreana contrató en secreto a Porsche para la puesta a punto completa de su chasis y suspensiones. -De los Circuitos a los Almacenes: Desde hace más de 40 años, Porsche diseña las carretillas elevadoras de Linde. Aplicando la ergonomía de un 911 a la cabina del operario, han revolucionado el sector, demostrando que el buen diseño mejora la productividad y la rentabilidad. -Del Asfalto al Aire y al Subsuelo: La experiencia de Porsche en el diseño de puestos de conducción fue clave para que Airbus les contratara para optimizar la ergonomía de la cabina digital del avión A310. Y si alguna vez viajas en la línea 14 del metro de París, debes saber que el diseño exterior e interior de esos trenes (modelo MP14) fue encargado por Alstom al Porsche Design Studio. Como hemos visto, la excelencia de Porsche va mucho más allá de sus coches. Es la historia de un estudio de ingeniería universal, cuya necesidad de sobrevivir se convirtió en su mayor escuela. La conclusión es que esta “rama” de negocio de Porsche, tan poco conocida, ha sido y es de una importancia vital.

FELIPE MASSA AND THE 2008 CHAMPIONSHIP NOW IN COURT!…WHO KNEW AND, WHO DIDN'T KNOW? WILL LCH BE FORCED TO HAND OVER 2008 GOODIES?...HOW COULD PIASTRI DROP OFF SO BADLY? COMPARED TO LANDO NORRIS! AND, THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE GET NOSTALGIC WITH A LOOK BACK TO 2016...GP2 ENGINE AAAHHHH.... Felipe Massa's Legal Case: In 2023, Massa filed a lawsuit against the FIA (International Automobile Federation) and F1's governing body, arguing that the manipulation of the 2008 race — which he believes cost him the championship — was not only unfair but should have been investigated more thoroughly at the time. Key points in Massa's case include: Fraud and Misconduct: Massa alleges that the events surrounding the Singapore Grand Prix in 2008 were fraudulent and misrepresented to the public, and that this directly affected the outcome of the championship. Potential Victory: He claims that, had the safety car period not occurred due to the orchestrated crash, he would have won the race and the title. Timing: Massa's case is built on the assertion that new evidence (like testimonies from insiders and other facts) has come to light, suggesting that the true extent of the manipulation wasn't fully revealed or dealt with at the time. Why Now? Massa's legal action comes years after the original events, with the key question being why the case is being pursued so late in the day. Some speculate that Massa might have been waiting for the right legal grounds or new evidence to surface, or simply for a change in the FIA's leadership and its handling of such cases. Current Status: As of late 2023, the case was ongoing, with Massa and his legal team looking to secure compensation or possibly even a re-opening of the 2008 season's results. Massa has hinted that he might be seeking justice more than just financial recompense. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for F1 and how the sport handles cases of team manipulation, race fixing, or other forms of cheating. It also raises questions about accountability within F1 and the FIA regarding race conduct. Massa's lawsuit is likely to be a long and complex legal battle, given the intricacies of sports law and the FIA's position in the motorsport world. How sweep it is: Porsche takes all three IMSA titles. At the end of the day, you can't talk about a history of racing without a history of winning. After a season of sweat, heat, trading paint and swapping drivers, Porsche Penske Motorsport has taken all three 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship titles: Drivers', Teams', and Manufacturers'. No race—and no championship—is a given until the checkered flag drops. Yet after finding victory lane in the first four races of the season, there was definitely something in the air around Porsche Penske Motorsport. And with victories secured at Daytona, Sebring, Long Beach, and Monterey, the 963 was cementing its status as another legendary Porsche endurance racer. A string of strong finishes followed, all of them in the face of intense competition—which is exactly how racing should be. Because it's in the heat of the moment that you learn the lessons that make you better. All of them culminating at Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, where the whole Porsche Penske Motorsport crew took what they'd learned and made it official: they're the champs. JAK CRAWFORD CONFIRMED AS ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO THIRD DRIVER FOR 2026 AMRTC, Silverstone, 28 October 2025: The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team has announced that Young Driver Jak Crawford will become the team's Third Driver for the 2026 Formula One season. The role sees Jak act as the team's reserve driver at all races next season. The 20-year-old, who joined the team's Young Driver Development Programme in 2024, has accumulated over 2,000km in Formula One machinery. Most recently, he made his Grand Prix weekend debut at the Mexico City Grand Prix, driving Lance Stroll's AMR25 during FP1. Throughout 2025, Jak has been a constant presence in the simulator at the AMR Technology Campus in Silverstone, providing valuable technical feedback that has supported both race operations with the AMR25 and development work on the 2026 challenger, the AMR26.  Jak is currently competing in his third Formula 2 season, where he sits second in the Drivers' Championship.

It's a huge moment in my journey with Aston Martin Aramco and a big motivation to keep learning and contributing. Over the past two seasons, I've learned so much from being in the Formula 1 environment, both at the factory and trackside. I'll be doing everything I can to support the team and continue developing as a driver.” Andy Cowell, CEO and Team Principal, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team: “It is great to see Jak progress to become our Third Driver for 2026. Over the past two years, he has shown his value as a key member of our driver squad and built up a valuable bank of experience and test mileage. Jak has impressed in the simulator, having completed regular sessions at the AMR Technology Campus to support our race operations and car development. Jak's performances in Formula 2 have also been outstanding, and we are excited to continue supporting his growth as he takes on a bigger role.  

Porsche profits dropped a whopping 99% this year. And as usual, this was extremely easy to predict. They already pulled back on the full electrification of the Boxster and Cayman, but add in weakening sales in China, tariffs, and people just plain tired of paying ridiculous ADMs and Porsche had an easy to see plan to fail. Car companies to fire their bean counters in our opinion. We also ask the question, if you had to keep one car forever, what would you drive?

We explore what sets our rallies apart from the crowded, chaotic events filling up the roads these days, and why our approach is different.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1180: Fresh off a global adventure, Paul and Kyle return with stories from Kazakhstan, a look at why destination fees are climbing faster than car prices, and how Rivian and GM are tightening up their EV operations as the market cools.Destination fees — the unavoidable “shipping” charges tacked onto every new vehicle — are climbing faster than sticker prices. Once a minor line item, these fees have ballooned across brands, marking the steepest industrywide increase in at least a decade as automakers quietly offset rising costs and tariffs.Average destination fees jumped 8.5% for 2025 models, the biggest one-year spike in 10 years, according to Edmunds.Fees have risen 27% since 2021, now averaging $1,549, up from $1,220 just four years ago.Some models saw even sharper hikes — Porsche up 48%, Ford up 39%, Stellantis up 35%.Analysts point to inflation, heavier vehicles, and new tariffs as key cost drivers.“It's another place where they can increase the price without increasing the price,” said Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions.As the EV market cools and cost pressures rise, both Rivian and GM are trimming teams to stay efficient. Rivian's cutting hundreds after the loss of key EV tax credits, while GM is reducing salaried positions tied to design and development as part of a broader restructuring.Rivian is laying off 4.5% of its workforce — about 600 employees — as it consolidates operations in sales, service, and marketing.CEO RJ Scaringe said the move reflects a “changing operating backdrop” as demand softens following the expiration of the $7,500 EV credit.Rivian will continue investing in its next-gen R2 platform to reach a broader market beyond its luxury R1 lineup.GM confirmed more than 200 white-collar job cuts in Detroit, mostly in its design engineering and CAD teams.The automaker is also managing $1.6 billion in EV-related write-downs and tariff costs as it shifts strategy to protect margins amid a slower adoption curve.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:25 More Than Cars just got back from Kazakhstan7:42 Destination Fees Skyrocket On 2025 Models10:33 Rivian Lays Off 600, GM Cuts 200Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
