Porsche Taycan 4S Black Edition: Take a look at 5 key highlights of the sports EV
The newly introduced Porsche Taycan Black edition features new, bolder aesthetic additions to the sports car. Porsche has rolled out the Taycan 4S Black Edition in India at ₹ 2.07 crore (ex-showroom), a special iteration of its high-performance electric sedan. With a stealthy design theme and enhanced standard equipment, this version carries a premium of ₹ 11 lakh over the standard Taycan 4S. Here's a look at five key highlights of the newly launched model: 1 Blacked-out design The Taycan 4S Black Edition is primarily differentiated through its cosmetic updates. The high-gloss black finish extends across various exterior elements, including the front bumper, headlamp surrounds, side skirts, rear diffuser, window trims, exterior mirror caps, and Porsche badges. The 21-inch aero wheels are also finished in black, while the headlights feature a tinted, smoky finish. Additionally, optional LED puddle lamps project the Porsche logo onto the ground when the doors open. These design tweaks are in line with the understated and monochrome look seen across Porsche's Black Edition models. 2 Dark-themed interior Inside, the Taycan 4S Black Edition features upholstery made from Race-Tex — a sustainable, leather-free material resembling Alcantara — combined with leatherette surfaces. Customers can choose from dual-tone and monotone black themes. The layout remains the same as the standard Taycan 4S, including a curved digital instrument cluster, central touchscreen, and passenger-side display. Key features include a panoramic fixed glass roof, four-zone automatic climate control, 14-way power-adjustable comfort seats with memory, and a Bose surround sound system. A unique 'Black Edition' badge is placed on the centre console to distinguish this version from others in the Taycan lineup. Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India.

Bill Gates paid a daily $28 fine for 13 years and no one noticed. The reason will blow your mind
In 1988, Bill Gates' dream car, a Porsche 959, faced US import hurdles due to non-compliance with safety and emission standards. Impounded in Seattle, it incurred a daily fine of $28 for 13 years. Gates persisted, paying over $133,000, driven by passion, not just wealth. Finally, in 2001, the "Show or Display" rule allowed its import. Bill Gates bought a Porsche 959 in 1988. The car did not meet US safety standards. Authorities impounded it at the Port of Seattle. Gates paid a daily fine for 13 years. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Bill Gates bought a Porsche 959 in 1988. (Image: iStock) $28 a Day for a Dream Deferred Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Finally, the Law Caught Up A Fortune Spent In 1988, Gates purchased the Porsche 959 'Komfort'—a marvel of its time, boasting a 2.85-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, electronically adjustable suspension, and a top speed of 200 mph. It was the fastest street-legal production car of its era and an automotive dream for enthusiasts worldwide. Gates, an avowed car lover, couldn't resist the allure of this limited-edition German beast, of which only 337 were ever there was a catch—a bureaucratic one. The car didn't meet the United States' National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. And in America, such cars were either refused entry or Porsche was instead impounded at the Port of Seattle. The U.S. Customs Service didn't destroy it, but they didn't release it either. Instead, they issued a daily fine of $28. Every single day. For 13 long reported by Supercar Blondie, Gates quietly paid the fine, totaling around $133,580 over more than a decade—not counting the $500 annual bond required to retain his claim on the car. That's all before the original price tag of the Porsche, which at the time was around $225,000—a figure that inflates to over $600,000 didn't Gates simply abandon the car? Because, as it turns out, even billionaires have emotional attachments. This wasn't just a status symbol; it was a symbol of passion. Gates' determination to hold on to the 959—despite the absurd daily fee—demonstrates his enduring affection for machines that push the limits of wasn't until August 1999 that a legal shift changed everything. A new federal clause known as the "Show or Display" rule was introduced. This allowed the import of non-compliant cars under limited use conditions—specifically, not exceeding 2,500 road miles a year. By 2001, Gates was finally allowed to claim his prized Porsche and hit the road car remains in his collection today—a metallic emblem of delayed gratification, and possibly the most expensive game of 'wait and watch' in the auto the Porsche 959 is a collector's gem. Some of these rare machines are valued at well over $1 million, making Gates' prolonged patience a lucrative investment in hindsight. But the story isn't just about money—it's about a man who could buy anything, but chose to wait for what he truly with a net worth of over $116 billion (as of 2025), Gates' 13-year stand-off with U.S. regulations paints a picture of personal passion prevailing over paperwork. And while Elon Musk may now top the billionaire list, this tale reminds us that every mogul has their own quiet indulgences—and sometimes, they come with a parking ticket attached.
