{"version":"1.0.0","episode":{"title":"GT4 R, Porsche Card and Cayenne EV Launch","url":"http://getcarcurious.com/episodes/gt4-r-porsche-card-and-cayenne-ev-launch","audioUrl":"https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/pcartalk/EP262_Everyone_.mp3?dest-id=1215116","description":" In this episode, we're giving thanks to our people and diving into some fresh Porsche news and builds that caught our attention. We kick things off with the Kelly Moss GT4R build that turned heads at SEMA—this rebodied GT4 Club Sport features carbon fiber everywhere, wider wheels, a titanium exhaust, and what looks like 911 headlights. Is this the ultimate track weapon or too much of a good thing? Then we tackle the new Porsche credit card—yes, you heard that right. Is this just a cash grab, or does earning points on your service visits actually make sense for enthusiasts? We'll break down the perks and whether this is another revenue stream for Stuttgart or something worth considering. We also share our thoughts on the HSR event, including what we enjoyed and why a less crowded experience might not be a bad thing. On the racing front, we discuss Porsche's quiet exit from WEC in Bahrain without a championship after such a promising start to the season with the 963, and what their focus on US racing like the Rolex 24 means for fans stateside. We preview the 2026 EV Cayenne debuting November 20th with 350 miles of range—can it compete with the Rivian R1S and other EV SUVs, or is Porsche late to the party? Plus, a merch update you won't want to miss.  Thank you for your support!
