He bought his first when he was still 15, a 2001 Acura Integra GS-R that still resides in the garage today. It's now joined by a 2004 Porsche Boxster S, and there will be even less practical additions to follow. Palmer worked at both Autoweek and Autoblog before joining R&T.

Look at the spec sheet, and the Cayenne Electric Turbo has the capacity to be the most boring Porsche “Turbo” of them all. This is a big SUV that weighs nearly 6000 pounds and has no brawny V-8 to provide the sense of occasion of its combustion-powered siblings. Yet, after a brief stint behind the wheel, I was in the driver’s seat wearing a look of utter bewilderment and an unbreakable smile. This large, electric SUV is one great big ball of fun. And not just because of the huge performance; it can also play elite luxury cruiser when it’s done rearranging your organs. The Cayenne Electric is one of those cars that feels way better than it needs to. Underneath, it sits on the PPE platform, shared with Audi EVs and the Macan Electric, but talk to the engineering team, and they admit changing things substantially for the range-topping Cayenne Electric. Which, despite its shared name and similar design, is effectively unrelated to the gasoline-powered Cayenne. Use the Electric Turbo’s launch-control system, and the SUV unleashes up to 1139 hp and 1106 lb-ft of torque from its mighty dual-motor setup.

Wilhelm's first experience as a motoring writer came in the early 2000s during job shadowing at Auto Express and Autocar magazines in the UK. Subsequently, he became a full-time motoring writer, contributing to websites and magazines across South Africa, the UK, the USA, and Germany. In South Africa, he has built a strong client base of owners and collectors who have given him access to their cars for feature stories. Depreciation is truly the friend of secondhand car buyers. It has created compelling opportunities in the used luxury-car market, allowing buyers to get behind the wheel of German executive cars that originally commanded substantial prices, for a fraction of their showroom prices. Despite their significantly lower used values, these vehicles still offer features that feel remarkably modern, including sophisticated infotainment systems, digital instrument clusters, and advanced driver-assistance technology. However, an attractive purchase price does not automatically translate into affordable ownership. Maintenance, repairs, and the potential for further depreciation remain important considerations when deciding whether a used luxury car represents genuine value.

My wife, a longtime Lexus fan, wants a bigger, newer car that’s electric, but there’s a problem: There are no 3-row EVs available from Toyota. So “larger” is going to have to wait; that means, if we want to go electric, we’ve got two “bad” choices: the Lexus RZ or the Toyota bZ4X. I’ve already written all about how we are considering going with the former, but now I’m pushing for the latter. Here’s why. The three-row EV SUV space is bleak. You can buy a tiny Model Y, you can snag a Kia/Hyundai, or you can spend lots of money on a Rivian, Cadillac, Mercedes or Lucid. Choices from Ford, Toyota, Stellantis, VW, and on and on are non-existent. This is a shame because there are lots of families who want extra space and who want to go electric; we’re one of them.

If last week’s headlines proved anything at all, it’s that the long wait for flying, flipping, fully self driving electric vehicles is finally over – especially if you’re shopping at Tesla’s competitors. On today’s episode of Quick Charge, we’ve got a full rundown of hot new EVs that you can fly, flip, and (most importantly) take delivery of today. After nearly a decade of waiting, Tesla Roadster 2.0 buyers still don’t have a car – and, despite last week’s thrilling demo, the fine print says they may never get their new Roadster, flying or otherwise.
