I do think it depends on the driver. Only the tiniest number of cars, be they supercars or any other are designed or built for numerous on the limit laps by a skilled driver. Maybe the sportiest Porsches and Ferraris because of their racing heritage (but even then probably not). I worked in...

I think straight line acceleration being used to define fast is a uniquely North American thing. I always think of fast in a lap time fast sense. I suppose it is due to the different roads. The US has modern wide but straight roads whith gazzilions of traffic lights so a sort of drag race...

Certainly the traffic density is much higher here than 40 years ago, and it makes a choice of any sporty car completely illogical, but I rarely encounter grid lock anywhere I go. I almost never take my Ferrari any more because overtaking...

I don't do track days but I live in the UK and I am sure if I lived in the USA an autonomous car would appeal - straight roads and much, much longer journeys.

I presume nobody for whom a Taycan is an ideal car would consider a fully autonomous car as the sort of thing they would like to own. Full autonomy on a Merc EQS would be attractive to some people, probably including me about 4 times a year, but on a sports car why?

I am 71, after years of running at least one sporty car I was considering going for comfort but hopefully with reasonable performance and handling that was maybe not as taut as what I was used to but not like a boat. If I hadn't test driven a Taycan the EQS would have been a candidate but the...

I looked into a Tesla a couple of times. I dislike the interior of all of them enough to make them a no-no regardless of performance or range. Apart from its size and weight the Taycan appeals enormously to me in every way. I am in the UK so drag race opportunities/tradition are absent so the...
