Porsche 911 Carrera GTS named World's Greatest Auto Disruptors 2025 Powertrain Disruptor of the Year by Newsweek
'The idea of a high performance hybrid Porsche has been alive and well for more than a decade. Like so many other technologies, we forged our expertise on the field of competition in motorsport where the 911 GT3 R Hybrid combined internal combustion with electric performance,' Timo Resch, President and CEO Porsche Cars North America said. 'Today, we use plug-in hybrid powertrains to augment the performance of several variants from the Cayenne and Panamera model lines. The most logical step for the 911 was to apply learning from our prior projects and create an extremely sporty, lightweight hybrid system that would enhance driving prowess without adding much weight. In the sports car segment this is a truly disruptive idea, so winning this award is especially meaningful.'
By using a small battery and foregoing a separator clutch to allow for electric-only driving, the hybrid system in the new 911 Carrera GTS adds minimal weight, leaving the new model only about 110 lbs. heavier than its predecessor. Applying electric power to the turbocharger eliminates the need for exhaust gas to spool the turbocharger, meaning boost is immediate. The electric motor connected directly to the transmission also provides immediate torque for a large powerband and highly responsive throttle pedal.
The new hybrid system also allows for advances in the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) system. Thanks to the onboard high voltage system, the newest generation of PDCC is now electro-hydraulically controlled, allowing for much quicker response and even better body control than in prior models.
Every 2025 Porsche 911 GTS model variant uses the new T-Hybrid powertrain. This includes the 911 Carrera GTS, 911 Carrera 4 GTS, 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet and 911 Targa GTS. U.S. customer delivery for all five model variants began in the first quarter of 2025.

2026 Kia EV4 GT Is Already Showing Off On The Road
Just as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N was soon followed by the slightly mellower Kia EV6 GT, so the recently revealed Ioniq 6 N will soon be followed by a mildly tamer EV4 GT (yes, keeping up with the nomenclature hierarchy can be confusing). These spy shots give a hint of what to expect from the new Kia, which was already confirmed with this year's launch of the new EV4, as were regular AWD trims. However, while the Ioniq 5 N, Ioniq 6 N, and EV6 GT all produce a peak of 641 horsepower, our spies say the EV4 dual-motor variants will offer between 430 and 480 hp and hit 62 mph in under four seconds. But there's probably a good reason for the power cap. If the EV6 GT were as extreme as the Ioniq 5 N, it would require a similar price, and that's especially risky in the current market. At Hyundai, the Ioniq N models are statement vehicles meant to grab attention and act as a sort of halo for electric performance. That's why the company told Australian media that it doesn't care whether the car sells or not. With the EV4, which is available as both a hatchback and a sedan, Kia is seemingly planning to offer an even more restrained but still sporty take on the electric recipe. Our spies report that the cabin will closely mirror previous GT models with model-specific sports seats, a D-shaped steering wheel, high-performance drive modes, unique digital displays, and more upmarket audio. Again, like the EV6 GT, this cabin will be far more restrained than that of the all-black Ioniq 6 N and feature lighter, more inviting upholstery. All of the above is speculative, but we don't have long to wait for updates. The prototype in these spy shots is an almost finished product, with the exterior showing lime green painted brake calipers behind diamond-face wheels that are only missing their center caps. We can't see much more beneath the canvas camouflage, but the production taillights and headlights seem to be identical to those on the regular car, graphics included. Even the upward-angled gloss black trim on the rear bumper matches that of the EV4 GT-Line, again highlighting just how discreet this hot hatch will be. A Kia EV4 GT sedan has not yet been spied, but with a nearly finished prototype on the road in Europe and the regular EV4 on American asphalt, Kia will reveal all soon enough. A full launch is only expected early next year, however. Related: Kia EV5 Debuts as the Electric Sportage Alternative Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Generative Pulse is Here: At Last Brands Can Take Control of AI Narratives
Miami, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Generative Pulse , a groundbreaking new solution for shaping brand visibility in generative AI responses, is now available, providing brands with the insights and tools they need to understand and guide how they appear in AI answers. Developed by Muck Rack, the leader in PR software, Generative Pulse empowers communicators to identify the sources shaping AI responses, engage key voices, steer the narrative, and measure impact, all in one platform. As tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini increasingly become the first stop for information-seekers, how these AI models describe brands is transforming customer perception, purchase behavior and even reputation. Generative Pulse is the first PR-specific tool built to address this shift, revealing which journalists, outlets, and sources are driving how AI talks about a brand, and enabling communications teams to influence the conversation directly. 'Brands that aren't showing up in AI-generated answers aren't showing up at all,' said Greg Galant, cofounder and CEO of Muck Rack. 'This is a turning point for PR.

The findings show that over 95% of links cited by AI are from non-paid media, and 89% are earned media. Journalistic content makes up 27% of all citations, rising to 49% for recent or time-sensitive queries. High-authority outlets like Reuters , Axios , Financial Times and AP dominate citations, but industry-specific sources are frequently pulled depending on the query type and topic. From Insight to Action: Inside Generative Pulse Generative Pulse delivers a unique dashboard experience built around Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)—a new framework for AI-era brand visibility. Muck Rack users can input brand names, competitors and prompts, and get a full report including: 'No other platform connects insight to action like Generative Pulse,' added Galant. 'You're not just seeing who's influencing AI, you can actually reach them, influence the outcome and measure your impact all within the same workflow.' Platform Integration and Availability GEO functionality must be integrated into a complete PR workflow and earned media suite so teams can actively shape how LLMs respond; not just passively monitor the results.
