Apple executive John Ternus has drawn attention for his driving performance at the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in California. Driving a rare Porsche 935, a 700-horsepower model inspired by Le Mans racing and limited to 77 units, Ternus recorded a lap time of under 1 minute and 40 seconds. This performance is noted as being comparable to professional automotive testers driving high-performance models such as the BMW M4 or Nissan GT-R.

In related industry developments, Porsche is managing a transition toward electric vehicles while navigating sales challenges with the Taycan. The company is adjusting its strategy by reintroducing internal combustion engine options for the Macan and Cayenne models and developing the 992.2 mid-cycle refresh, which will include the first hybrid versions of the 911 series.
