Porsche is known for its high-performance luxury sports vehicles - the best-selling model being the Cayenne. The company's founder, Ferdinand Porsche, created the world's first hybrid vehicle in 1899. It was called the Lohner-Porsche and was driven by electricity with a fuel-powered generator to charge the batteries, though it never made it into production. Porsche continues to break new ground to this day; in 2017, the Cayenne S Diesel model earned the Guinness World Record for towing the heaviest vehicle, pulling an enormous Airbus A380 aeroplane weighing 285 tonnes.

A car diagnostic test allows a mechanic to discover problems with a car by using special software that identifies faults with the engine or other systems that you can't diagnose yourself. For example, if the check engine light appears on your dashboard, the mechanic will plug a small device into your car's computer, which will run an engine diagnostic and tell you what is causing the problem.Vehicle diagnostics can also highlight developing problems before they become serious, which may save money in the long term. However, if you have an existing problem and your car won't start, you can book a mobile car diagnostic where the mechanic comes to you. Some people wonder, "why are diagnostic tests so expensive?" but this isn't always the case. The cost depends on the car, and dealerships may charge more than independent garages. It's a good idea to look around for the best price.
