Contactless parking now available for Porsche owners with an Apple smartphone
Porsche has launched a new app that allows drivers to park their luxury SUV or sports car without ever having to open the window for a parking ticket again – at least in some locations.
The German car-maker says the new Porsche Park app delivers a contactless and convenient parking experience for owners, allowing them to make payments and access parking stations via their in-car touch-screen using Apple CarPlay.
Developed alongside UbiPark, an Australian parking solutions provider, Porsche Park also offers the ability to search, navigate, access and pay at selected off-street partner car park locations.

Six-month wait now needed for hot-ticket, high-tech Porsche EV as MG’s electric SUV charges ahead
Any suggestion Australians wouldn’t embrace electric vehicles has been short-circuited by brands at both the entry point to the market and the upper echelon – and this was no more obvious than with the 2021 Porsche Taycan emerging in March as the nation’s top-selling large luxury sedan.
Highly Commended in the 2020 carsales Car of the Year awards handed down recently, the Taycan’s first full month on sale brought 161 new registrations, which was enough to overtake the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (155) and take line honours in the segment.
2021 Porsche Taycan has been unveiled for Europe.
While Porsche Cars Australia has yet to officially confirm the model for our market,
CarAdvice understands the rear-drive Taycan could
make its way Down Under in around 12 months time, with the brand s local arm understood to be focusing on the launch of the all-wheel-drive 4S, Turbo and Turbo S variants in February 2021.
Those familiar with the Chinese-market model will find few surprises in the specifications of its European equivalent, with both markets models featuring a single electric motor on the rear axle, and offering a choice of
two lithium-ion batteries: the
93.4kWh Performance Battery Plus.
