The legendary 911 has been revamped for 2025, getting an updated design, fresh tech and, for the first time, a hybrid system. While that’s still performance-orientated, and only available on the GTS models for the time being, it works brilliantly, and it has allowed Porsche to increase power without increasing emissions. As before, all versions of the 911 are fantastic fun to drive, and they’re beautifully made. Coupe, Cabriolet and Targa body styles remain available, and the superb range of engine options is only set to grow as time goes on.

One of the first great electric sports saloons, the Taycan has brought a whole new generation of buyers into the brand. It’s great to drive, and with the latest round of updates it now has even more range, so some models will manage around 650km on a charge. It has faster charging than before, too, though it has retained the style, sophistication, and performance that made it such a hit in the first place. Sporty electric cars don’t come much better.

Now that the Macan has gone electric – bringing down its starting price in Ireland considerably – the 718 Boxster and Cayman are no longer the most affordable Porsches money can buy in Ireland. They remain exceptional, however, in either format, and it’ll be a sad day when they get replaced by all-electric successors. Grab one of these mid-engined wonders while you can. All are phenomenal to drive, though the bigger your budget, the better things get. The six-cylinder GTS variants are probably the sweet spot of the lineup, but if you really love driving and can afford to spend even more, the GT-department-developed Cayman GT4 RS and Spyder RS are essentially junior supercars offering hardcore thrills.
