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.

‘I thought my house was worth ₹10 crores': Inside Ashneer Grover's ultra-luxurious Delhi home
From the moment you step inside Ashneer Grover's stately Delhi home, it becomes clear the residence is symptomatic of their taste and ambition. The former BharatPe co-founder and Shark Tank India personality walked Brut India through his home with wife Madhuri, sharing that while the house was purchased from a builder, 'all the interiors, all the furnishings, all the paintings, artwork, that was done by us.' And the artworks truly are conversation-starters. 'These paintings have a story,' he explains, referring to stunning visuals created by a US-based South Indian illustrator, later hand-painted on commission by his sister-in-law. The couple has clearly walked a thoughtful design journey. When asked about her favourite corner, Ashneer's wife Madhuri gestures to a beautifully curated nook. 'Aesthetic wise? Yeah, I like that,' she smiles. In the living area, the interviewer spots gold-plated coasters, marvelling, 'Are these gold-plated coasters?' Madhuri confirms, amused: 'Yeah, these are gold plated.' But what truly drops jaws is the now-iconic dining table. 'This table is the most infamous table, right? It's supposedly worth ₹10 crores,' Ashneer says, deadpan. 'Which is news to me, because I thought my house was worth ₹10 crores.' He adds, 'We had to get a pulley installed on the roof to bring it in through the balcony.' Ashneer's relationship with fame is both tongue-in-cheek and grounded. Next to the bar sits a memento from Shark Tank India. 'This is what the Shark Tank team gave to me,' he says, proudly holding it up. 'I used to like him as a Shark,' Madhuri adds, 'but of course, this version is better.' Despite the fully stocked bar, Ashneer is quick to clarify: 'We both are teetotallers. I don't drink, Madhuri doesn't drink.' It's more for entertaining. 'My dad drinks and likes to entertain.' The home's sprawling layout even accommodates a 50-metre passage, perfect for pacing or makeshift workouts. 'You do 20 rounds, you've done one kilometre,' he chuckles. The family's relationship with food and fitness has also undergone significant evolution. 'Earlier, it used to be filled with chips and namkeens,' Madhuri says about the snack shelf. 'Now you'll find nuts… I've lost weight just by giving up sugar.' In the garage, a different passion emerges: Ashneer's car collection. From a Porsche painted in a trending green hue ('I think this is the only colour Porsche in Delhi') to a Maybach and a family SUV, each car has its role. 'If I have to drop the kids to a bus stop, I use this car… It's the only car owned by Ashneer,' he laughs, poking fun at how the others are family-used. 'We bought this house, we made it ours,' Ashneer says, summing up the spirit of the space.

Who will win Formula E Teams' and Manufacturers' World Championships? Porsche leads, but Nissan is close behind
TAG Heuer Porsche drivers Antonio Felix Da Costa and Pascal Wehrlein (Image credit: Porsche) Nissan's Oliver Rowland has sealed the FIA Drivers' World Championship, but the fight for the ultimate team and manufacturer championships is still on. Thanks to TAG Heuer Porsche drivers Pascal Wehrlein and Antonio Felix da Costa, the team is currently leading in both categories — but Nissan is not far behind. Just one good race could be enough for Nissan to snatch the lead from Porsche at the upcoming London double-header. Who is winning the Teams' World Championship 2025? There isn't much of a gap between the two powerhouse manufacturers — Nissan and TAG Heuer Porsche. In the FIA Teams' Championship, TAG Heuer Porsche leads with 228 points, but Nissan is hot on their heels with 205 points. Porsche has demonstrated strong performance throughout the season, with Antonio Felix da Costa and Pascal Wehrlein contributing to nine podium finishes, including a win for Wehrlein in Miami and three pole positions. Nissan has also been doing well, thanks to Oliver Rowland's championship-winning performance. He contributed 184 of Nissan's total 205 points. His teammate, Norman Nato, skipped the Berlin E-Prix but will be returning in London to compete for the team. In third place is DS Penske, followed by Jaguar TCS Racing and NEOM McLaren. In sixth place is Mahindra Racing, followed by Andretti in seventh and Maserati in eighth in the Teams' Standings. Who is winning the Manufacturers' World Championship 2025? The FIA Manufacturers' World Championship was introduced this season and currently has Porsche at the top of the standings with 342 points. Their success in this category is bolstered by the contributions of their customer teams — Andretti and CUPRA Kiro. Nissan is close behind in second position with 335 points, having benefited from the performance of its customer team, NEOM McLaren. Jaguar follows in third but is far behind with 279 points.
