Politics

Their health care proposals also diverge, with Bass advocating a return to individually underwritten insurance and Little emphasizing protection of coverage and affordability.

Porsche’s lineup expands with the 2027 Cayenne ranging from 348 hp in base form to 729 hp in the Turbo E-Hybrid, all-wheel drive across trims and no remote-start option. In the 2025 Panamera range, the Turbo E-Hybrid and Turbo S E-Hybrid push top-tier performance with 670 hp/685 lb-ft and 771 hp/737 lb-ft, respectively, 0-60 in as little as 2.8–3.0 seconds, a 25.9-kWh battery delivering about 27–28 miles of electric range, and new aero enhancements; a separate Taycan vs Panamera comparison highlights the Taycan’s EV-centric approach versus the Panamera’s combustion and plug-in hybrid options across eight Taycan and seven Panamera variants, underscoring different performance philosophies with shared 0-60 benchmarks around the mid-3-second range and high horsepower outputs.

I would still pick the Panamera E-Hybrid for its extra gas engine flexibility on longer trips beyond that 28 mile battery range.
